SDK overview

Building on over eight years of SDK experience, the DYMO Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a simple, inexpensive, and reliable means of integrating specialized label printing into your application. The SDK reduces the complexities of label printing to as few as 5 lines of code. Whether programming for the Mac or Windows, DYMO’s SDK is the easiest way to add professional quality label printing to your application.

The SDK provides the following features:

• Fully integrated printer control so you can forget about paper type selection, printer resolutions, margins, custom page sizes, and all the other complexities that combine to complicate printing from Windows.
• Advanced text handling, including rotation, curved text and shrink-to-fit.
• POSTNET barcodes for faster delivery of mail.
• Built-in support for photo ID applications.
• Built-in support for reading, re-sizing, and printing most common graphics formats.
• Built-in support for UPC, EAN, EAN 128, ITF-14, Code-128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, POSTNET, PLANET and other barcode symbologies.

And that’s just the beginning. Using the capabilities of the SDK, you can enhance your applications or create entirely new ones. In fact, the DLS application was written using the SDK.

The LabelWriter printer can be used to automate many common labeling tasks, such as:

• Printing shipping labels from your corporate order-entry application.
• Printing barcoded inventory labels from your accounting application.
• Printing patient file folder labels and barcoded medical labels from your medical office automation application.
• Printing address labels and seminar badges from your meeting management program.

Whatever your needs, we are confident that the DYMO Label Software SDK and DYMO Label Software will enhance your product’s capabilities and perceptions.

Due to its popularity, specific examples showing browser/web integration are now included, including a unique FireFox browser plug-in that provides access to the SDK’s COM classes for FireFox users.

DYMO’s innovative SmartPaste function can be used to batch-print a series of labels with just one function call using data from the clipboard or an ASCII file.

In addition to the wide variety of SDK samples, the SDK also includes a comprehensive FAQ, Programmer’s Manuals, and top of the line support via DYMO's SDK Support and Development Team.
