I am trying to launch my scanner application using AppleScript. I have it launching the Printer app and I know how to send the keystroke command but when the Printer window opens it does not have focus in Finder so the keystroke I am sending is not working unless I already have the printer window open and in focus. How do I set the Finder focus to my window so it will hear the keystroke?
Here is my code:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Canon MX510 series" to activate
key code 20 using command down
end tell
Best Answer
Try sending the Activate command outside the System Event tell, that would be the standard method.
