Every major interface
.NET, Java, ActiveX/COM, native DLL and command-line tools.
Labeling automation
Label printing, automated from your code.
The label printing automation SDK: print Designer layouts from .NET, Java, C/C++ or the command line – on printers, as PDF or ZPL.
Manual printing doesn't scale. TFORMer SDK turns approved label layouts into an output engine for your applications: bind data, pick a printer or format, print – from .NET, Java, ActiveX, DLL or CLI, on Windows and Linux.
Your application prints like a labeling pro.
Add label and form output to your application, using Designer layouts and the data your software already holds.
Layouts stay approved
Applications print Designer layouts – logic and compliance stay in the template.
Server-grade output
Printers, PDF, PostScript and ZPL – single labels or thousands per batch.
Build printing into your application.
Keep layouts out of your code.
Embed the output engine
Integrate TFORMer through .NET, Java, ActiveX/COM, native DLL interfaces or command-line tools.

Learn more about TFORMer SDK.
Which programming interfaces are available?
You can integrate TFORMer SDK into your application through .NET, Java, ActiveX/COM or the native DLL. A command-line interface is also available for scripts.
Can I use TFORMer SDK on Windows and Linux?
Yes. TFORMer SDK is available for Windows and for Linux and UNIX servers. Use the SDK package for your operating system.
How do I generate my first label from C#?
Install TECIT.TFORMer from NuGet and use the example template QRCodeTemplate.tff with the field fieldQRCode. Supply the field value, choose the output and start the job. This example creates a JPG; the template is available in the linked sample project.
using TECIT.TFORMer;
var row = new Record();
row.Data.Add("fieldQRCode", "https://www.tec-it.com");
var data = new JobDataRecordSet();
data.Records.Add(row);
var job = new Job { RepositoryName = "QRCodeTemplate.tff", JobData = data };
job.PrinterType = PrinterType.ImageJpg;
job.OutputName = "label.jpg";
job.Print();Can I generate PDF and ZPL as well as print?
Yes. You can print directly or generate output such as PDF, PostScript, ZPL and images. You choose the output for each job.
Can I control a thermal-transfer printer directly?
Yes. TFORMer includes a ZPL II driver for direct output to compatible Zebra thermal-transfer and direct-thermal printers. Other printers can be used through their Windows printer drivers. Direct ZPL II output requires a printer that supports ZPL II.
