Barcode Input options within the DataWedge profile specify the device hardware to use for scanning and the decoders to be applied on the acquired data before sending it for processing. Decoders supported by DataWedge are explained below, including commonly used decoders: Code39, Code128, Datamatrix, DotCode, EAN13, OCR A, OCR B, PDF417, QRCode, UPCA, and UPCE. DataWedge also provides audio and other feedback to alert the user of scanning results and barcode type. See the Scanner Parameters section for more information.
Barcode Scanner Input reads data from the integrated barcode scanner built into the device, or attached via cable or Bluetooth connection, or implemented as a snap-on module. DataWedge supports lasers, imagers and internal cameras. The raw barcode data that's acquired is processed or formatted as using the Basic and Advanced Data Formatting Processing options that are found near the Output options.
In Barcode Input, the Scanner selection panel determines which scanning device to use for data capture. The list of available scanners is based on devices present in (or connected to) the unit being configured.
Generic scanner selection for Zebra Bluetooth Scanner and Zebra USB Scanner: Newly released Zebra Bluetooth or USB scanners are automatically supported (in SSI mode), but the specfic scanner model names may not be visible in the Scanner selection list yet. In this case, selecting either Zebra Bluetooth Scanner or Zebra USB Scanner can be used as a generic option to scan from each respective peripheral device. The availability of the scanner model name being listed relies on the operating system build (BSP) - see Feature Matrix for version compatibility and the Zebra Support Portal to download the latest build.
Zebra USB Cradles supports Bluetooth scanners paired/connected to its USB cradle, connected to a workstation cradle with an Android device inserted. This permits the Bluetooth scanner to scan data into the Android device inserted in the workstation cradle.
Multiple scanner support provides the capability to use more than one scanner interchangeably in the same DataWedge profile without the need for manual configuration, such as when an internal scanner and an external Bluetooth scanner is required. Additionally, each scanner can be individually configured within the same profile. To add a scanner, in the Scanner Selection screen tap the top right menu and select Add new scanner. A list of available scanners is displayed.
Long pressing on the scanner category in the Scanner Selection screen displays a menu with options to Configure triggers or Delete. Tap on Configure Triggers to display a list of triggers to configure; the options vary depending on the device in use.
If an external scanner and an internal scanner is selected (regardless of the order added), the internal scanner is given all the triggers by default. The user needs to select the triggers for the external scanner as required. Once a trigger or multiple triggers are assigned to the external scanner, those triggers are removed from the internal scanner. If an external scanner is removed from the scanner selection, the internal scanner is given all the triggers again. If an attempt is made to assign a trigger that is already assigned to a different scanner category, the following message is displayed:
Important: Support for decode parameters can vary depending on the scanning device selected. For device-specific support notes, please refer to the Integrator Guide that accompanied the unit.
Scanning can now be performed with the Bluetooth scanner for the results to output to the Android device.The Scanner Selection in DataWedge automatically selects Zebra USB Cradle. If scanning with DWDemo, press the hard trigger button on the Bluetooth scanner or press the soft trigger button from the DWDemo app to start scanning.
This feature configures DataWedge to enable/disable use of the device hardware trigger for barcode input. The hardware trigger is enabled by default. If disabled, the scan beam does not appear when pressing the hardware trigger. However, the scan beam can still be activated by using the Soft Scan Trigger DataWedge API intent. This feature allows application programmers to enforce the use of app-specific features when scanning barcodes and documents within their app.
This feature configures DataWedge to select an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection and revert to a built-in scanner when the external scanner is disconnected. External scanners include those connecting by Bluetooth, serial cable or snap-on module. If enabled, SWITCH_SCANNER should not be used upon scanner connection/disconnection as it can cause unexpected behavior. Disabled by default. Available only when Auto" is selected in the Scanner selection panel.
Launch QR codes - configures the Datawedge profile to enable or disable (default) the ability to open a URL when scanning a QR code. If enabled, the scanned barcode must be of type QR code and must contain a valid URL for the default browser to open the URL. Otherwise, scanned data is dispatched to the application. Launch QR codes must be enabled for the following options:
Enable only QR code decoder - if enabled (disabled by default), it decodes only QR code barcodes, and if it contains a valid URL, the URL is launched in the browser - all other decoders selected within the profile are disregarded. By restricting decoding to only QR barcodes, this eliminates the need to deselect other decoders that may be selected in the profile. If disabled, other decoders in addition to QR codes can be scanned, but only QR codes with a valid URL can launch the URL in the browser.
Configure scanner settings option is accessible through the DataWedge profile settings. It configures the scanner parameters specifying how the barcode is scanned, including the selected scanner (e.g. camera, 2D Imager, Bluetooth scanner, etc.), decoder, decoder parameters, reader params and scan params. Refer to the corresponding sections below on each option for further information.
Note: The Configure scanner settings option is still accessible even when the selected scanner in Scanner Selection is disconnected. In previous DataWedge versions prior to 6.8, all the scanner parameters (decoders, decoder params, etc.) are grayed-out and inaccessible.
Scanning Modes exists within both Scanner Configuration and NG SimulScan Configuration sections. The availability of Scanning Modes options is interdependent on the option selected within each section:
Global scanner configuration (All Scanners) allows users to specify a generic scanner configuration applicable for all supported scanners. Rather than specifying multiple individual configurations for each separate scanner within a given DataWedge profile, the global configuration setting is provided to configure multiple scanners in a single profile.
Global scanner configuration (All Scanners) displays all scanner parameters and values for each and every scanner even if not supported by a specific scanner. Since this list is all-inclusive, there is a possibility a particular parameter or value may not be supported on an individual scanner. In this case, an error is logged in logcat during scanning.
Select All Scanners. A confirmation message appears indicating that any setting changes moving forward will be applicable to all scanners as a common global configuration. Any existing individual scanner setting will be replaced by this global setting. The scanner does not need to be connected to the device in order to configure the settings in the global scanner configuration.
NextGen (NG) SimulScan Configuration is configuration transferred from legacy SimulScan Input of DataWedge previously deprecated. NG SimulScan is a data capture solution for retrieving data from documents, forms, and labels by scanning barcodes or capturing partial or entire documents as images. Not all legacy SimulScan features are available - migration of these features into NextGen SimulScan is a continuous effort. Currently, the following features are part of NextGen SimulScan:
For Zebra Professional Series devices, such as TC21 and TC26, NextGen SimulScan requires a Mobility DNA Enterprise license. The following message is displayed when attempting to access this feature on a device without a valid license:
Aside from Scanning Modes, Document Selection and MultiBarcode Params, all other options are common to those displayed under Configure scanner settings. Refer to the corresponding sections below on each NG SimulScan Configuration option for further information.
Document Selection specifies the template to use for Document Capture to retrieve data from documents, forms, and labels by scanning barcodes or capturing partial or whole documents as images. The template is generated from NG SimulScan Template Builder and is used to process the acquired data so it can be consumed by an application. Document Capture must be selected as the Scanning Mode. There are 2 types of Document Capture templates:
