Developer and SDK Information

DYMO provides various types of information designed to help developers create products that
work with the LabelWriter printers and DYMO Label Software. Below are some notes for those
interested in developing products that work with LabelWriter printers.

•

Keep in mind that LabelWriter printers use standard printer drivers. Therefore, printing to a
LabelWriter is no different than printing on a laser printer, except that the pages are smaller.

•

In cases where you want to automate printing and take advantage of the label printing power
built into DYMO Label Software, a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) is included in your
LabelWriter CD. The SDK provides OLE, direct DLL calls, and Dynamic Data Exchange
(DDE) interfaces. For more information, visit

www.dymo.com/developers

.

You can check the Developer’s forum on the DYMO Web site at

www.dymo.com/developers

for

the latest news. Also, you can join the Developer’s mailing list to obtain developer-specific news
and announcements.
