Adding enter or return key to an action

Community Beginner ,
May 11, 2015 May 11, 2015

Hi all thanks for viewing this and thanks in advance for any help you can provide.  This might an easy thing to do but I've searched all over and haven't found an answer.  I'm running some variable data and I would like to print each piece once it's complete.  The problem I'm encountering is in my "batch" I add the action "Print" and it gets to the print script which I have to manually hit enter.  I've tried to find away to automate this by seeing if there's away to automate the "enter" key but unfortunately I have no luck thus far.  Does anyone know a work around for this?  I would like to do this in illustrator.  Please no recommendations to do this in other programs.  Thank you so much in advance!

In your actions there should be a little icon between the checkmark and the actionset/action space, please see my attached screenshot.

Do you have the print script available for us to view? Maybe it could be fixed to not need the enter key.

It's just a regular action.  I'm running a batch on variable data then the action to print.

When the batch runs it makes me click this button as you can see by the screen shot.  Is there away to automate it so it'll click on it's own as part of the action?

If using the action's palette "no-dialogs" feature does not work, maybe you can write your printing action in a script form to print via preset and it may not have the dialog. Would you like to see if we can test it out?

Also I don't see the NoDialogs feature in the actions pallet, how can I add this to test it?
