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.”

1-2 LNT Programmer’s Manual
Standard Syntax Guidelines
Each LNT file must start with the XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
To add comments in an LNT file:
<!-- start of comment
-->end of comment
<!—for Code 39 barcodes -->
To comment an entire field:
<!--
<BarcodeField id="Code39BC">
<Volatile>1</Volatile>
<Origin units="Inches" x="0.800" y="0.170" justification="Center" />
<BarHeight units="Inches">0.500000</BarHeight>
<Orientation>0</Orientation>
<Type>code39</Type>
<Options density="12" />
<Data max="20" min="0" />
</BarcodeField>
-->

Using Fonts with the 6057 Printer
This section is not applicable to the 6140 printer. See “Transferring Files to the 6140 Printer”
for more information.
The printer uses standard Windows fonts; however, additional fonts can be downloaded to the
printer.See “Installing Fonts” for more information.
Using Non-Resident Fonts
Within your application, instantiate a new Print class such as rPrint and call a method such as
Print to load the non-resident.
Installing Fonts
Follow these steps to install additional Windows fonts to the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is connected via USB and start an Active Sync session.
2. Open the \WINDOWS\Fonts folder on your computer.
3. Drag the TrueType® font file (.TTF) from your computer to the Temp\Install folder on the
Mobile Device (printer).
Note: Check the \Windows\Resources\Fonts folder on the Mobile Device (printer) to
make sure the file installed correctly. Do not save files directly to this folder.
4. Reference the font’s filename in the LNT file. See “Defining the Font Tag (Optional)” for
more information about creating a text field with an installed font.
Note: The printer’s software (version 2.0 or higher) supports International
(double-byte) fonts. An International TrueType font containing Chinese or Japanese
characters may be very large. Make sure the printer has enough memory before
installing the font.
Error Reporting with the 6057 Printer
This section is not applicable to the 6140 printer. Refer to the Software Development Kit
(SDK) for more information.
During normal printer operation or while testing a LNT file, you may receive an error message.
When an error occurs, a message appears briefly on the display “Press home key to clear the
printer error” and a small stop sign icon appears in the Task Bar.
1. Press the Home key to show the error message. For example:

Introduction 1-7
2. Select the option you need: Clear Error (clears the error and continues to feed or print
supplies), Abort Print Job (clears the error and cancels the current print job), or Do
Nothing (does not clear the error or reprint the job).
The example above, “Parser Error ID:BOX1,BoxField:LineThickness” indicates a parser
error in the LNT file. The BOX1 field contains an invalid <LineThickness>tag or is
missing the <LineThickness>tag.
Touch Clear Error, correct the LNT file, then resend the file to the printer. See
“Defining the Line Thickness Tag (Required)” for more information about defining the
line thickness of box fields.
See Chapter 6, “Error Messages” for a listing of error codes.
Note: If there is an error in a LNT file, it does not print.
Enabling the “Field Off Tag” Warning
The printer can display error 614 when a field is positioned outside the printable area. The
default does not generate this warning.
To enable:
1. Touch the Home key.
2. Select Printer Config.
3. Select General Settings.
4. Check Generate Off Tag Warnings.
5. Touch OK when finished.
Note: 614 Errors are not reported when this is not
enabled – only correctly positioned fields within
the printable area are printed.
Transferring Files to the 6140 Printer
Your application controls the use of LNT, font, or other supported file types.
For example, to add a LNT file (or font file) to your application, use the SaveResourceAtPath
method, which saves a file to the smart device.
[ADResourceManager SaveResourceAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:@"Markdown.LNT" ofType:nil] type:ADResourceMediaTypeLnt
alias:@"label"];
[ADResourceManager SaveResourceAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:@"Arial Bold.ttf" ofType:nil] type:ADResourceMediaTypeFont
alias:@"Arial Bold"];
For example, to remove a LNT file (or font file) from your application, use the
RemoveResourceOfType method, which removes a file from the smart device.
Note: Refer to the Sample Application (Scan and Print) included with the iOS Software
Development Kit for more information.
Error Reporting with the 6140 Printer
During normal printer operation, you may receive an error message. When an error occurs, a
message appears on the smart device. Follow the instructions on the smart device and press
Feed/Clear Error on the printer to clear the error and continue.

1-8 LNT Programmer’s Manual
LNT Design Tips
When creating LNT files, keep in mind the following:
♦The printer uses standard Windows fonts; however, additional fonts can be downloaded to
the printer.See “Installing Fonts” for more information.
♦If setting a value for the font’s pointsizeheight and setting the pointsizewidth to 0, the
printed characters will have an optimal aspect ratio of character height-to-width.
♦Use zeros to let the printer determine the width and height for the <BoundingBox> tag.
♦If using the wordwrap attribute on a text field, you must specify the width attribute in the
<BoundingBox>tag.
♦Not all field attributes should be used on the same field – for example, do not use wordwrap
with either the underline or the strikethrough attributes.
♦While designing and testing LNT files, we recommend setting the printer to show error
messages for fields printing off the label. See “Enabling the “Field Off Tag” Warning” for
more information.
Check these settings if a field prints off the label:
♦x,y points
♦origin point
♦justification
♦field rotation

Defining Printer Setup XML Tags 2-1
DEFINING PRINTER SETUP XML TAGS
This chapter provides a reference for defining printer setup XML tags:
♦job settings
♦energy, contrast, print speed, black mark, and on-demand settings
♦quantity
♦image settings.
This chapter also includes information about adjusting the supply position (use backfeed) to
reduce the non-print zone.
Defining Printer Setup Tags
Tags required for each job are listed at the beginning of each section.
Defining the Job Container (Required)
The job tag is the container for a complete LNT file.
It contains the printer setup XML tags and field setup XML tags for each job.
Syntax <Job>
Example <Job>
printer setup tags
field setup tags
</Job>
Note: The printer’s software supports multiple <Job> tags
in one LNT file. Use version 2.0 or higher (6057) or version 1.0 or higher (6140).
Defining the LabelSize Tag (Required)
The LabelSize tag defines the length and width of the label.
It contains the following attributes: units, length, and width.
Syntax <LabelSize units=”value” length=”value” width=”value” />
units Unit of measure. Options:

2-2 LNT Programmer’s Manual
Example <LabelSize units="Inches" length="1.0" width="2.0" />
Defines the label size as 1.0 inch long by 2.0 inches wide.
Defining the Energy Tag (Optional)
The Energy tag defines the printhead energy level. You may need to adjust this value
depending on the type of supplies you are using. For example, synthetic supplies require the
High energy setting, but standard paper does not.
Valid values include: Normal (0) and High (1). The default is Normal.
Syntax <Energy>value</Energy>
Example <Energy>High</Energy>
Sets the printhead energy to high for synthetic supplies.
Defining the Contrast Tag (Optional)
The Contrast tag defines the print contrast for the job. You may need to adjust this value
depending on the type of supplies you are using. For example, synthetic supplies require a
higher print contrast, but standard paper requires less contrast.
Note: Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given square inch of the label, or the
printhead life may be decreased.
Valid values include: -100% (minimum contrast) to 100% (maximum contrast). The default
is 0 (no contrast adjustment).
Syntax <Contrast>value</Contrast>
Example <Contrast>35</Contrast>
Sets the print contrast to 35% for this job.
Defining the PrintSpeed Tag (Optional)
The PrintSpeed tag defines the print speed in inches per second (ips) for the job.
Valid values include: a float in the range of 1.0 to 5.0.
It contains the following attribute: fixed.
Note: Serial bar codes, lines, and graphics print at 2.0 ips. Synthetic supplies and special
supplies print at 1.5 ips.
Syntax <PrintSpeed fixed=”value”>value</PrintSpeed>
Fixed The printer prints at the specified setting until the battery drains. Options:
0 False (default)
1 True
Note: Fixed can be enabled for speeds 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 ips. Fixed is only recommended for
text formats, where print speed is required over print quality.
Example <PrintSpeed fixed=”1”>5.0</PrintSpeed>
Sets the printer’s speed to 5.0 ips, but allows the speed to vary from 5.0 ips for serial bar
codes, etc.

Defining Printer Setup XML Tags 2-3
Defining the UseBlackMark Tag (Optional)
The UseBlackMark tag specifies if the printer uses the black mark sensor to sense supplies.
Valid values include: 0 (off) and 1 (on). The default is 1.
Syntax <UseBlackMark>value</UseBlackMark>
Example <UseBlackMark>1</UseBlackMark>
The printer uses the black mark sensor to calibrate and feed labels.
Defining the UseOnDemand Tag (Optional for 6057)
The UseOnDemand tag specifies if the 6057 printer uses the optional on-demand sensor. Your
printer may not have an on-demand sensor installed.
Note: The 6140 printer does not have an on-demand sensor.
Valid values include: 0 (off) and 1 (on). The default is 0.
Syntax <UseOnDemand>value</UseOnDemand>
Example <UseOnDemand>0</UseOnDemand>
The printer does not use the on-demand sensor.
Defining the SensorMode Tag (Optional)
The SensorMode tag specifies which sensor to use.
Valid values include: “DieCut” and “BlackMark”. The default is “DieCut”.
Syntax <UseSensorMode>value</UseSensorMode>
Example <UseSensorMode>”DieCut”</UseSensorMode>
The printer is using the die cut sensor.
Defining the Quantity Tag (Optional)
The Quantity tag specifies the number of labels to print.
Valid values include: 1 to 999. The default is 1.
Syntax <Quantity>value</Quantity>
Example <Quantity>5</Quantity>
Prints 5 copies of the label.

2-4 LNT Programmer’s Manual
Defining the Image Container (Required)
The image tag is a container for all the image tags in the LNT file.
It contains the following attributes: id and version.
Syntax <Image id=”name” version=”integer” >
id The identifier for the image. Any applications using LNT should reference this
data. Use any 32-character maximum (UNICODE) string. If you use the same
identifier for two LNT images, the previous image is overwritten!
version Integer identifier used to define the revision level of this LNT image.
Example <Image id=”Sale” version=”1”>
more image information
</Image>
Defining the ImageSize Tag (Required)
The ImageSize tag defines the x and y coordinates for one point on the label, the height and
width of the print area and the 0,0 point.
Note: A non-print zone exists on this printer:
for the leading edge = 0.20 inches (or 0.01 inches with adjusting the supply position)
for the trailing edge = 0.05 inches
The leading edge is the edge that exits the printer first.
The ImageSize Tag contains the following attributes: units, x, y, height, width, and origin.
Syntax <ImageSize units=”Inches” x=”value” y=”value” height=”value”
width=”value” origin=”value” />
units Unit of measure. Options:
Inches Inches
MM Millimeters
Pixels Pixels (default)
xGives the x-coordinate for one point describing the printing area on the label.
This is interpreted as the distance along the x-axis from the Origin point.
yGives the y-coordinate for one point describing the printing area on the label.
This is interpreted as the distance along the y-axis from the Origin point.
height The height (in selected units) of the print area. This height is taken from the y
value.
width The width (in selected units) of the print area. This width is taken from the x
value.
origin Describes the corner of the label that is considered the 0, 0 point. All sizing
and placement measurements are taken from this point. The default is
TopLeft. Options:
TopLeft
TopRight
BottomLeft
BottomRight.

Defining Printer Setup XML Tags 2-5
Note: Origin in millimeters is shown in Appendix B, “Design Tools.”
Example <ImageSize units=”Inches” x=”0.10” y=”0.10” height=”1.50”
width=”1.80” origin=”TopLeft” />
Uses inches for the measurements, sets the x and y axis to 0.10 inches, defines the image
size as 1.50 inch long by 1.8 inches wide and sets the image’s origin to Top Left.

2-6 LNT Programmer’s Manual
Adjusting the Supply Position
A non-print zone exists on this printer of 0.20 inches on the leading edge of the supply. The
leading edge is the edge that exits the printer first.
You can adjust the supply position to a negative setting (use backfeed) to reduce the size of
the non-print zone to 0.01 inches when using Peel mode. The adjustments are in steps
(0.00333 inch). The default value is 0.
Note: Using a negative supply position may increase the possibility of a label jam.
Setting a Negative Supply Position (Using Backfeed)
Using a negative supply position enables backfeed, so the printer must be set for Peel mode.
The minimum feed length in peel mode is 0.785 inches. Using a negative supply position may
increase the possibility of a label jam.
To adjust the supply position to a negative value:
1. Turn on the printer.
