@thermal-label/labelmanager

TypeScript-first DYMO D1 LabelManager driver — Node USB and browser WebUSB.

Install

pnpm add @thermal-label/labelmanager-node    # Node USB
pnpm add @thermal-label/labelmanager-web     # Browser WebUSB

For ad-hoc printing from the terminal, install thermal-label-cli — it auto-detects every installed driver, no per-driver CLI needed.

Quick example (Node)

import { discovery } from '@thermal-label/labelmanager-node';
import { TAPE_12MM } from '@thermal-label/labelmanager-core';

const printer = await discovery.openPrinter();
try {
  // image is RawImageData — { width, height, data } where data is RGBA bytes.
  await printer.print(image, TAPE_12MM);
} finally {
  await printer.close();
}

Quick example (Browser)

import { requestPrinter } from '@thermal-label/labelmanager-web';
import { TAPE_12MM } from '@thermal-label/labelmanager-core';

const printer = await requestPrinter(); // call from a user gesture
try {
  await printer.print(image, TAPE_12MM);
} finally {
  await printer.close();
}
