Setting Up a Zebra Scanner

To use a Zebra scanner with Movilitas Mobile, you need to set up the scanner as described in the
procedure below.

Procedure

1. Open the DataWedge app.

2. Create a new profile for Movilitas Mobile.

3. Assign the profile to Movilitas Mobile application:

 a. Select the Movilitas Mobile profile.
b. Select Associated apps.
c. Select the three dots on the top-right corner and tap New app/activity.
d. Select com.movilitas.mobile from the list.
e. From the Select activity list, select *.

4. Find the Intent output setting and enable it.

5. As Intent action, specify com.ionic.datawedge.ACTION.

6. Set the Intent delivery to Broadcast intent.

For more information on how to set up a Zebra scanner, check this video.

Note: When using the acceptance environment, you need to create a separate DataWedge
profile for the mobile application. Follow the procedure as described above, but create the
profile for Movilitas Mobile Acceptance and select
com.acceptance.movilitas.mobile as the associated application.

Next Steps

Verify the scanner setup by opening a text editor on the device and scanning a test barcode. If the setup is
correct, you can see the scanned data in the text editor.

You can also activate the Continuous Read function.

Enabling Continuous Read in DataWedge

When scanning a lot of items, trigger-based scanning can be time-consuming because the
user presses and releases the scanner button for each barcode.
The Continuous Read function enables the users to do ultrafast scanning by pressing and
holding the scan trigger while pointing the reader to each barcode. The function can be
activated separately in the DataWedge settings.

Procedure

1. Open the DataWedge app.

2. Depending on the Movilitas.Cloud environment you are using, select Movilitas Mobile
profile (production) or Movilitas Mobile Acceptance profile (acceptance).

3. Select Reader params.

4. Select Aim Type.

5. Change the value to Continuous Read.

6. Close the DataWedge app.
