The Firefox extension for DYMO SDK has been updated to support Firefox 15. The extension is available here. The FAQ article is here.
Please note that the Firefox extension is deprecated. No new development will be done for the extension. For new projects please use the Javascript library from the DYMO Label Framework. We encourage developers to switch to the new API even for current projects. Here are some benefits the new DYMO Label Framework API provides in comparison to the extension:
- DYMO Label Framework API provides a cross-browser and cross-platform pure Javascript API. The same API supports all major browsers on Windows and Mac. The Firefox extension API can be used only in Firefox on Windows.
- All necessary Framework installation is done by the DYMO Label software installer. By contrast the Firefox extension must be downloaded by customers separately and installed manually.
- DYMO Label Framework supports and will support all the DYMO printers. New printers will not be supported by the extension.
The auto-update functionality isn’t included in this version. We will add it later.
One of our customers is reporting a problem with FF 15 on W7.. getting this message “DLS SDK 1.4.11.0 add on is not compatible w/this version and was auto-disabled” Customer is NOT using the FF extension, they are using the Dymo Label Framework API/Javascript. Anyone reporting issues like this?
DLS SDK 1.4.11.0 add on is the DYMO SDK Extension for Firefox 11. Either you have to install DYMO SDK Extension for Firefox 15 (DLS SDK 1.4.15.0) or use the DYMO Label Framework.
We are using the DYMO Label Framework. Should not have to install the SDK Extension and we didn’t. We are getting that error, using the Label Framework..
Correct, the Firefox SDK Extension isn’t required when using the DYMO Label Framework. I have just verified that the DYMO Label Framework is working with Firefox 15 on Windows 7. Please verify that all required software is installed by clicking here http://labelwriter.com/software/dls/sdk/samples/js/CheckEnvironment/CheckEnvironment.html
I found a bug in Dymo Label Maker 8.x when sharing Address Book files from OS X to Win7. Specifically with the version number in the XML. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/hqgs3wd63fww0ow/20120915%20Dymo%20Label%20Maker%20Bug%20Report.pdf
If there is a better way to bring this to a developer’s attention please let me know.
Please forward your question to DYMO according to the SDK Troubleshooting Tips post which can be found here http://developers.dymo.com/2011/10/12/sdk-troubleshooting-tips/
Thanks for the quick reply. I emailed the SDK address but am afraid that isn’t the right team. Is there an email address or phone number I could use to get a hold of a dev or dev department directly? There is no way I’ll ever get through support to one. You can DM if you want, @jmaddington
You have done the right thing. The SDK address is monitored by the dev team. They are going to reply shortly.
Is Javascript SDK has relation with Printer?
For example: I have a web page use javascript sdk, Can I print label with both “Dymo labelwriter 400 Turbo” and “Dymo labelwriter 450 Turbo”?
Thanks.
Yes, you can print to the DYMO Labelwriter 400 series as well as to the 450 series. More information about the JavaScript SDK can be found here http://dymodevelopers.wordpress.com/tag/javascript/
And Is the style of print same with the same *.label?
Thanks.
The same *.label should print the same on different models using the same labels. More information about the label layout can be found here http://dymodevelopers.wordpress.com/tag/xml/
