PocketSDK
The NiceLabel PocketSDK (software development kit) enables software
publishers to integrate professional bar code and RFID smart label
printing into their mobile software product.
NiceLabel PocketSDK has all of the label design functionality of
NiceLabel Pro and includes deployment rights for the easy-to-distribute
Pocket NiceLabel Engine that is embedded in the software publisher's
application for Windows Mobile devices.
The NiceLabel PocketSDK offers the following benefits:
- A powerful printing engine for thermal label printers (adding
a missing printing support to Windows mobile platform)
- Print labels of almost any complexity (including bar codes and
RFID)
- Easy integration and deployment without much of a learning curve
The Print Button of Your Mobile Application
Pocket NiceLabel Engine is the perfect bolt-on label printing engine
for any mobile application:
- No need to learn an individual native printer language (unique
printer code)
- No need to write an embedded printer code or communicate with
the mobile operating system's I/O
- Deploy one interface for your mobile label printing application
that offers the flexibility to print to more than 1300 thermal
printers
Ease of Deployment
Pocket NiceLabel Engine is a set of Microsoft.NET Compact Framework
Assemblies that expose programmatic interfaces to 3rd party applications.
The .NET Assembly interfaces include the same mobile label printing
components as Pocket NiceLabel. With the NiceLabel PocketSDK, there
is no need to manually code label templates in the thermal printers
native language. The NiceLabel desktop label designer enables graphical
design of your label template. Simply export the label for the mobile
computer and let NiceLabel generate the native printer code.
Ease of Integration
Easy integration of NiceLabel bar code and RFID smart label printing
into your Web application:
1. NiceLabel PocketSDK adds a reference to the NiceLabel print engine
in your development project.
2. When you compile the project for deployment, the NiceLabel PocketSDK
runtime Assemblies are seamlessly added to your installer.
3. Simply install the main application on the target device and
label printing is installed automatically.
4. NiceLabel PocketSDK enables mobile applications to control label
printing functions to thermal label printers. Your application never
communicates with the input/output ports on the mobile computer.
Simple, standardized API calls to the NiceLabel Pocket Engine allow
the mobile application to print to a thermal label printer via TCP/IP,
Bluetooth and COM (serial) ports.
Distributed (Print Server) Label Printing (Label printing through
NiceWatch print server (integration middleware, part of NiceLabel
Suite))
In addition to printing to a thermal printer directly, NiceLabel
PocketSDK supports the distributed (print server) printing method.
The print engine creates a .JOB file with specific label printing
instructions that are sent to a server where NiceWatch is running.
The NiceWatch integration middleware module executes the instructions
from the .JOB file and enables label printing to any printer on
your network, including office printers. The NiceLabel PocketSDK
becomes a mobile client to the NiceWatch centralized Print Server.
NiceLabel PocketSDK is the right tool for integrating bar code
and RFID label design and printing with thermal printer support
into 3rd party software applications for Windows Mobile devices.
