Dictionary file

The dictionary file, twl.ldd, provides a list of data that is available to the Barcode Label Designer in Enterprise Printing Platform. The twl.ldd file is used by the executable file when you print labels.

Use the SA Default Label Retrieval report to retrieve the default label format files for the Zebra 105 S and the twl.ldd file. You must load the retrieved files in folders at your Enterprise Printing Platform installation area and into Enterprise Printing Platform. You can use the label templates as a basis to create custom labels using the Barcode Label Designer.

Before you load the twl.ldd file into Enterprise Printing Platform, edit the file to delete fields that you do not use. Reducing the file size improves the performance of the label designing process in the Enterprise Printing Platform.

The twl.ldd file includes this type of data:

• Keydata

  Keydata is used to retrieve data that is displayed on the label. Keydata can also be displayed on a label. Keydata is set by the function that calls the label program. For example, a carton label print request sets the keydata.carton_id so that the label program knows which carton to retrieve the carton tables for.

• Standard table field values

  The field values that are available are from the tables that are listed in the Label Types table.

  See Label types.

• Calculated fields

  Calculated fields are created from other data fields. The tables for calculated fields start with xx. They are calculated if the table they are from is retrieved for the label type. For example, xxbinmst.bin_num_formatted is available only if the binmst table is retrieved for the label type.

  See Calculated fields.

Not all of the keydata or the xx* data is available for every label type. The type of data available depends on the type of label being printed. For example, if you are printing a new carton label, there is no order number, so the order field is blank.
