The Auto-print Multi-Threaded Service monitors the “Monitored Directory=c:\Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service\in\” directory and converts the files into “Converted Directory= c:\Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service\converted”. The conversion process generates a detailed log file that can be used to monitor the conversion process and for troubleshooting the C# service. The successful and failed document conversion will be registered in the Log file. The Log file can be opened any time in Notepad.
To configure the Auto-print Multi-Threaded Service Sample log file name, edit the logfile section in the "Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service C# Sample.ini" file. The "Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service C# Sample.ini" located in the directory <Auto-print SDK Installation folder>\<AutoPrint 32/64 bit>\Samples Directory. If the "Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service C# Sample.ini" contains an inaccessible or non-existing folder, the log file will be generated into the Root directory of Drive C:\

Any changes to the Auto Print Multi-Threaded Service C# Sample.ini require the service to be restarted. |
