Problem

Various files fail to print when batch printing multiple documents with multiple files.

Possible Cause

This problem could occur if there is a collision of print requests in the printer queue.

Solution

Synchronize multiple print requests using SPMPrint.bat and waitfor.exe in the [installation location]\SmartPlant\Markup\Bin folder.

To start dmredl -p at the command prompt, change the syntax to:

SPMPrint dmredl -p

To start dmredl -p from within a batch file (.bat), change the syntax to:

Call SPMPrint dmredl -p

SPMPrint.bat will queue multiple print requests as needed, so that each file is processed one at a time. If batch printing fails, SPMPrint.bat will be queued. To restart, type SPMPrint /force_unlock at the command prompt.
