DYMO Label SDK 8.3.

1 Release Notes
December 1st, 2011

Whats New
64-bit Support
Now you can use the SDK from 64-bit processes, e.g. Internet Explorer 64-bit. The only thing to do is to
recompile your application to be 64-bit, no need to change any code.

New DYMO Label Framework API

Starting this introduces a new API the DYMO Label Framework. It provides a simpler streamlined
interface for printing labels.
Major Features

Support for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.

Support for Tape printers. Now you can use the same simple API to print on Tape printers as for
printing on LabelWriter printers. All you need to do is to design a Tape label in DLS, load it in your
application and print.
Native .NET support. The Framework provides native .NET support. There is no need to use COMInterop anymore. Features available in .NET such as indexed properties, enumerators, etc are used to
provide an API that is easier to use.
COM support. Microsoft COM is supported as well, similar to current SDK.
Consolidated High and Low Level API. The Framework combines the current high-level and lowlevel APIs into a single API. Now there is no need to switch between APIs if you need some
advanced functionality not available in high-level API.
Cross-browser and cross-platform JavaScript library see below.

DYMO Label Framework JavaScript Library

To simplify using DYMO Label SDK from web-based application we created a JavaScript library that
abstracts browser and platform details for accessing DLS SDK from JavaScript. Now you can use the same
JavaScript code to add printing support for any browser the SDK supports. Currently supported browsers are:

On Windows: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome , Opera , Safari

On Mac: Safari, Firefox, chrome, Opera

Major Features

Simple cross-browser and cross-platform API

Ability to load and print a label from: a web server, the local file system, or construct on the fly in
JavaScript
Ability to load images from the server or from local file system
Ability to print multiple labels at once

Samples are available on DYMO Label Framework/Samples/JavaScript subfolder of the root SDK
installation folder.
