Printing command is not printing

Post by jeroen123 »

Hello Oleg,
I have written a simpel task to print new documents automatically; pls see it below.

now it appears that the Adobe dialog screen is opened to show the document, and it closes again, and the file is deleted; but there is no print..
but When I put it back from the dustbin it prints (automatically)!

Do you see any error while it will not print in the first stage?
thanks!

Re: Printing command is not printing

Unfortunately "Print File" action doesn't wait for end of printing operation. I wrote this into our ToDo. Maybe it's possible to do something to improve this.
Put the enough pause (30 seconds or more).

Also I recommend you to print files one-by-one in the loop
See the task below. Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing.
