Android Marshmallow includes several other automatic
battery optimizations that are usually in effect. These include:
Doze reduces battery usage when your device is not use, not
charging, and not moving.
App Standby lets Android reduce battery-draining activities of
apps that you haven’t used for a long period of time (when
your device isn’t charging).
Doze and App Standby do not have separate settings. They
are two of several battery optimizations that are in effect by
default in most situations. However, you can stop all battery
optimizations for an individual app, for example to ensure
that it’s always functioning at peak performance, even when
you’re not using it.
For more information, visit Manage battery life.

About barcode scanner
Use this chapter to understand how to scan bar codes and
how to configure the scanner.
The internal scanner can read 1D and 2D bar code
symbologies, composite symbologies, and postal codes. It
also support omni-directional scanning for greater flexibility
in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture
black and white images, such as signatures and pictures of
damaged inventory.
How to scan bar codes as keyboard
input
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an
active application as Android keypad input. To scan a bar
code as keyboard input, open an application that accepts text
input and then scan a bar code. By default, scan wedging is
enabled on the computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner
or applications that receive data through the scan wedge
feature. If an application claims the scanner through the
BarcodeReader API, the scan wedge feature is temporarily
disabled. You can find information on how to create custom
applications for the computer in the Software Development
Kit(SDK) available for download at www.duramobi.com
Change the scanner settings
Changes you make to the default profile apply to all
applications with profile.
1. Touch All Apps > Settings .
2. Touch Barcode Scanner .
Page 17
About barcode scanner - Symbology settings
12
3. Touch Internal Scanner > Default Profile.
4. Select Device, Symbology Configuration, Decode
Preference, or Notification Settings
5. Modify the settings to meet your application needs.
Symbology settings
Use the Symbology Configuration to enable and disable bar
code symbologies. Touch a symbology to view and modify the
symbology configuration parameters.
Advance settings
Use the Advance settings to view and modify much more
configuration about each symbology’s parameters
Decode timeout
Use the Decode Timeout to setup the time of scanning,
whatever scanner received a bar code. The scanner
component will stop works after that time. Default option is 1
second.
Decode time limit
Use this setting to configure how the scan buttons work.
Scanning automatically turns off after this number of
seconds if the scan trigger is pressed and nothing has
successfully decoded. Default is 800ms.
Prefix
Defines the string added before the decoded bar code data.
Substitutions occur within the Prefix string values as follow:
\r is replaced by 13
\n is replaced by 10
\t is replaced by 9
\\ is replaced by ‘\’
Page 18

Suffix
Defines the string added after the decoded bar code data.
Substitutions occur within the Suffix string values as follows:
\r is replaced by 13
\n is replaced by 10
\t is replaced by 9
\\ is replaced by ‘\’
Scan a bar code
The scanner has an aiming beam to help you correctly frame
bar codes. It also supports omni-directional (360o) scanning
to make it easier for you to scan bar codes.
TIP: Before you start scanning bar codes, use the Settings
app to enable only the bar code symbologies that you need.
1. Point the scanner window at the bar code and hold the
computer steady a few inches from the label.
2. Press one of the Scan buttons (side button). Make sure
the entire bar code is inside of the illumination frame.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, you hear a
high beep and the Good Read LED turns on briefly.

Page 23
Personalize your device - Sound and notification

downloads:
Do not disturb. These settings allow you to control
which notifications come through at certain times of
day or on different days of the week. You can also
silence your device so that it doesn’t make a sound or
vibrate when you don’t want it to. For example, you can
only get notified of calls and messages from close
contacts or automatically silence notifications at night
or during events. For more information, visit Set your
notifications.
When device is locked. Manage whether notifications
can be seen at all when your phone is locked, or

Google Now
Google Now is about getting you just the right information at
just the right time. It tells you today’s weather before you start
your day, how much traffic to expect before you leave for work,
and even your favorite team’s score while they’re playing.
For example, here’s a Google Now card that appears when
you’re about to start your commute:
Page 27
Personalize your device - How it works
22
After you start using Google Now, you don’t need to do
anything else. You can fine-tune some settings, but Google
Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup.
How it works
To know when to show information you’ll find useful, Google
Now uses contextual data from your device and from other
Google products, plus data from third-party products that
you allow Google Now to access. For example, if you have an
appointment in Google calendar that includes an address,
Google Now can check traffic and suggest when you should
leave.
When you decide to use Google Now, you can also turn on
Location History. Location History allows Google to store a
history of your location data from all devices on which you’re
logged into your Google Account. You can control this global
setting and the setting for each device from Settings >
Personal > Location > Google Location History.
To manage your Now cards:
Touch & hold any blank area on a Home screen, then
touch Settings > Now Cards.
Page 28
Personalize your device - What you can ask Google to do for you
23
To open Google Now, Swipe right from the first Home screen
or touch & hold the Home button from any screen. Updates
appear in the form of Google Now cards. When you don’t
need a card anymore, swipe it from left to right. Swiping from
right to left returns you to the main Home screen.
To learn more about Google Now, visit How Now cards work.
What you can ask Google to do for you
When you use Google Now, you can search, get directions,
and create reminders just by talking to your device. For
example, say “Ok Google, do I need an umbrella tomorrow?”
to see if there’s rain in the weather forecast.
To see other examples of what you can say, visit “Ok Google”
and voice search. You can say most of these examples in
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian,
Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, but some examples aren’t
available in all of these languages.
If you want to say “Ok Google” in languages other than
English, you also need to change the main language on your
device. Visit Change your languages on Google.
Turn “Ok Google” on or off
You can start a search or action by saying “Ok Google.” To
turn this feature off or on, open Google Now or the Google
app and touch menu > Settings > Voice > “Ok
Google” detection.
Now on tap
In Android 6.0, Google Now can also provide you with relevant
suggestions based on the content currently on your screen.
This feature is called Now on Tap. Just tap and hold the
Home button, and Google Now will show related cards that
might be helpful.
