# Use Lasernet Core Scripting

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11

Lasernet Core contains a scripting framework that can be used to add advanced functionality.

You can use scripts to develop and extend any aspect of your Lasernet Core solution, including performing checksum calculations, implementing conditional overlays, and conditional printer profiles.

Lasernet Developer contains a script editor that provides functionality for maintaining your own scripts. You access the script editor by creating a new script or opening an existing one.

- Parsing, for easy testing and debugging of your script.
- Indentation guides, for easier overview of the script structure.
- Undo and redo.
