Automation Action: Print

Automate printing of incoming messages, document attachments or file system documents.

The Print automation action can be used to automate the printing the incoming message, a report of extracted fields, document attachments or a specific local file or document.

Enable the Print The Incoming Message option to print the incoming message.

Enable the Print Extracted Fields option to print a table showing extracted field names and values.

Enable the Print PDF Attachments option if you want ThinkAutomation to automate the printing of PDF document attachments.

Enable the Print Document Attachments option if you want ThinkAutomation to automate the printing any Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML or Text document attachments.

You can also a specify Print File. This can be any PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML or text file or a %variable% containing a file path.

You can pre-select the printer to use from the Printer list. This can be a %variable% replacement if you need to conditionally select a printer in a previous action.

If you select a network printer the ThinkAutomation service may not have permission to print to it. This is because the ThinkAutomation service runs under the SYSTEM account by default and the SYSTEM account cannot access any network resources. Configure the ThinkAutomation Message Processor service to run under a different user.
