INTRODUCTION

This manual is for the developer who is creating and designing custom labels for the

♦ Pathfinder® 6057 printer.

♦ Pathfinder® 6140 printer.

Note: You must develop an application that uses the files you create.

About the Printers

The 6057 Software Development Kit (SDK) helps developers write applications for the 6057

printer. This printer operates on a Microsoft® Windows-based CE platform.

The 6140 printer is designed to support different operating systems. Each operating system

will have its own SDK. For example, the 6140 iOS SDK helps developers write applications for

their smart device. The 6140 printer with Bluetooth® can be paired/connected with a smart

device to scan bar codes and print labels. Refer to the Sample Application (Scan and Print)

included with the iOS SDK for more information.

To print labels/tags on either printer, a LNT (Language Neutral Template) file must be created.

This manual describes how to create a LNT file.

Creating a LNT File

The LNT (Language Neutral Template) file defines how your label looks – what type of

information appears (text, bar code, line or graphic fields) and where they print on the label.

The LNT file uses XML Version 1.0 programming.

LNT files must contain

♦ printer setup XML tags

♦ field setup XML tags.

Printer setup tags define the print speed, print contrast, label size, and

image size. Field setup tags define the look of the label (including text,

bar code, line or box fields).

For example, the label shown on the right contains three field setup

tags: one for the text field “PRETZELS,” one for the UPCA bar code

field, and one for the price text field “$.79.”
