Examples:
Load the JSON config file from a custom location:
ExamWritePad.exe /CONFIG:"C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\ExamWritePadSettings.json"
Load an ExamText file:
ExamWritePad.exe "C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\TestFile.ExamText"
Command lines run in Windowless mode (used for Single or Batch Printing)
Required Parameters:
- /FILE: (Followed by the full path and file name)
- /FOLDER: (Followed by the full path to the folder)
- /PRINT: (either a local printer name, networked printer name or default printer)
Optional Parameters:
- /COPIES: (Followed by a numeric value, but if not specified, will fall back, and use the ‘NumCopiesToPrint’ value in the EWP config file)
- /COVER (If specified, it will print the JCQ or CIE coversheet (Form 4) based on the exam board specified in the EWP file)
- /COVERSCRIBE (If specified, it will print the JCQ Scribe coversheet (Form 2) based on the exam board specified in the EWP file)
Each parameter MUST be made up of: a forward slash, parameter name, colon, double quotes, a specified string or number relating to the parameter, double-quotes.
Examples:
Print a document to the DEFAULT printer:
CommandlinePrinting.exe /FILE:"C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\Test.ExamText" /PRINT:"default"
Print two copies of the document and coversheet to the DEFAULT printer:
CommandlinePrinting.exe /FILE:"C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\Test.ExamText" /PRINT:"default" /COPIES:"2" /COVER
Batch print a folder of ExamText files (including within all subfolders) to a network printer:
CommandlinePrinting.exe /FOLDER:"C:\ExamScripts" /PRINT:"\\Server1\MonoPrinter"
Batch convert a folder of ExamText files (including within all subfolders) to PDF files with (Form 4) coversheets, saved within the same folder:
CommandlinePrinting.exe /FOLDER:"C:\ExamScripts" /PRINT:"Microsoft Print to PDF" /COPIES:"1" /COVER
If batch printing from a folder, you can only select COVER or COVERSCRIBE, so I would split up into two batch jobs, one folder with cover and another with coverscribe.
