Automating Saving The Serialized Labels
Hi.
I have searched through here prior to posting so forgive me if this was covered elsewhere.
We are using Bartender 9.01
I have a series of serialized bar codes which are used to track items on our customers products.
We do not have a front end program, we just use bartender to print the labels on an as needed basis.
the human error that occurs is someone will forget to save the label format and therefore, the serialization starts over.
I have been asked to see what can be done to eliminate some of the human error from this process
I have learned a lot about the basic designing process, but don't know much of anything about how to script anything for Bartender. Is it possible to force the save of the file, or the serialized number at print time?
Any feedback is appreciated, and of course, if you need more information just ask.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,
If you set auto reply for Message #1605 "Save changes to label format <file name>?" to [Yes] and disable dialog, you can always save the change you made.
Tools > Message setup (or - something like that. From Administer menu, from 9.1) you can modify message settings.
(Though this can be annoying when creating format.)
Another idea is create a shortcut to run BarTender, with /S (save) option.
Right click on desktop and select New > Shortcut, then set location like
[code]"C:\Program Files\Seagull\BarTender Suite\bartender\bartend.exe" /F="C:\bt\Format1.btw" /P /S /X[/code]
(This will open the format, print, save after print and close bartender.)
* Path to bartend.exe depends on BarTender version you use. Available commands are vary in editions. See commands for Help > Automating BarTender > Automation with the command line interface.
Not available for Basic edition.0 -

That first option will do the trick for this instance. Since we don't design labels at that station, it won't be as big of a nuisance. Thanks very much for that bit of info, I wasn't aware of those options!
