Developing Applications 2-7
Programming Notes
Include the Ultra.dll import file in all your applications. Without it, you
are not able to access any scanner or printing functions.
For example,
Imports Ultra ‘ for VB.NET
Using Ultra; // for C#
Test your application once you have loaded it into the printer.
The libraries included in this SDK are designed to support Microsoft®
Visual Basic® 2003 and 2005; therefore, some function names
changed. Visual Basic and Visual Studio® 2005 are case insensitive.
Visual C#® is case sensitive. Many developers use the same name
for Type Defines and functions, just by varying the case. However,
varying the case creates a new name and your application may not
function as designed.
Train the end users (operators) and/or their supervisor (system
administrator) on the application. They also must know how to
perform procedures (loading supplies, for example) that may vary from
the generic descriptions in the Operator’s Handbook.
When a file is saved in RAM, it is lost when the charge in the main
battery and backup battery has been depleted. A file saved in the
Onboard Flash folder or SD (Secure Digital) memory card is saved
even when both batteries have been depleted.
For Socket programming, refer to your standard Microsoft Windows
documentation.
When you are finished writing the application, select Build
Application to build and Deploy Application to download the
application. In addition, you can also Build a cab file. Refer to your
Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET documentation for more information.
To lock access to functions, such as the display, video, control panel,
refer to your standard Microsoft Windows documentation.
