CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

This chapter provides the features of the MC40 and explains how to set it up for the first time.

Unpacking

Carefully remove all protective material from the MC40 and save the shipping container for later storage and shipping.

Verify the following items are in the box:

• MC40

• Lithium-ion battery

• Quick Start Guide

• Regulatory Guide.

Inspect the equipment for damage. If any equipment is missing or damaged, contact the Zebra Support Center immediately. See Service Information for contact information.

Setup

To start using the MC40 for the first time:

• Install the battery

• Charge the MC40

• Power on the MC40.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery:

1. Align the battery with the slots in the battery compartment.

1 - 2 MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1

Figure 1-1 Inserting the Battery

2. Lower the battery and press down until it snaps into place.

3. Press down on the battery latch.

4. Press the Power button to turn on the MC40.

Charging the Battery

CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page

8-1.

Before using the MC40 for the first time, charge the main battery until the Right light emitting diode (LED) turns solid green (see Ta ble 1 -1 o n pag e 1- 3 for charge status indications). To charge the MC40, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC40, see Chapter 2,

Accessories.

The MC40 is equipped with a memory backup battery that automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery . When using the MC40 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery retains random access memory (RAM) data in memory for at least 10 minutes (at room temperature) when the MC40’s main battery is removed, when Battery Swap feature is used. When the MC40 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.

For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures see Chapter 2, Accessories.

• Micro USB Cable

• Single Slot Charging Cradle

• Five Slot Charge Only Cradle.

Table 1-1 Battery Charge LED Status

Status Indications

Fast Blinking Amber (when Power button pressed)

MC40 is charging. The battery is below 20%.

Charging error, e.g.: Temperature is too low or too high. Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).

Critical battery state. Battery too low to boot device.

Battery over-temperature condition. Device shuts down. Battery will not charge until temperature returns to normal operating value.

Charging Temperature

Note that charging is intelligently controlled by the MC40. To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC40 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temper atures. The MC40 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.

Charging Spare Batteries

See Chapter 2, Accessories for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.

Powering On the MC40

If the MC40 did not turn on when the battery was installed, press the Power button until the Right and Left LEDs flash once. The splash screen displays for about a minute as the MC40 initializes its flash file system. Note that these windows also appear upon reset.

NOTE The MC40 Android Lollipop version contains a known limitation that for every first reboot (after flashing or

an enterprise/factory reset), the device may take approximately eight minutes to boot to the home screen.

Replacing the Battery

NOTE Ensure that the Battery Swap mode procedures are followed, otherwise the backup battery will deplete

quickly.

CHAPTER 4 DATAWEDGE

CONFIGURATION

DataWedge Configuration

This chapter applies to DataWedge on Android devices. DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes the data and sends the data to an application.

Basic Scanning

Scanning can be performed using either the imager or the rear-facing camera.

Using the Imager

To capture bar code data:

1. Ensure that an application is open on the MC40 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Aim the exit window at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the Right Scan/Action button. The r ed lase r aim ing p attern turns on to assist in a iming . En sure

that the bar code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The Left and Right LEDs light red to indicate that data capture is in process.

Figure 4-1 Data Capture

4. The Left and Right LEDs light green, a beep sounds and the MC40 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code

was decoded successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.

4 - 2 MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1

Using the Camera

To capture bar code data:

1. Ensure that an application is open on the MC40 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Aim the rear-facing camera at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the Right Scan/Action button. By default, a preview window appears on the screen. The Left

and Right LEDs light red to indicate that data capture is in process.

Figure 4-2 Data Capture with Camera

4. Move the MC40 until the bar code is centered under the red target.

5. The Left and Right LEDs light green, a beep sounds and the MC40 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code

Profiles

DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with different applications.

Profile information consists of:

• Associated application

• Input plug-in configurations

• Output plug-in configurations

• Process plug-in configurations.

was decoded successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.

DataWedge Communication 4 - 3

Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. Fo r ex amp le, ea ch user ap plication can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of each application.

DataWedge includes the following visible and hidden pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in applications:

• Visible profiles:

•Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no

user created profiles associated with an application.

• Launcher - disables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground . Note: to save battery power, disable this profile when not required.

•DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.

• DataWedge has built-in configurations for RD Client, MSP Agent, MspUserAttributes, and RhoElements.

• DataWedge disables scanning when the default camera application is i the foreground.

Profile0

Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application ot her than applications associated with user-defined profiles when Profile0 is enabled.

Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated

in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable Profile0 and then scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile. This adds additional security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.

Plug-ins

A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as bar code scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:

• Input Plug-ins

• Output Plug-ins

• Process Plug-ins.

Input Plug-ins

An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the device.

DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.

• Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in – The Bar Code Scanner Inpu t Plug-in is responsible for reading data from

the integrated bar code scanner and supports diff erent types of bar code reade rs including laser, imager and internal camera. Raw data read from the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the bar code scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.

• MSR Input Plug-in – The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from an MSR. Raw data read from the MSR can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required.

4 - 4 MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1

DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the MSR to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.

Output Plug-ins

Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the device.

• Keystroke Output Plug-in – The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.

• Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Ou tput Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to foreground applications using the Android Intent mechanism.

• IP Output Plug-in – The IP Output Plug-in collects and sends d ata received from the Inp ut Plug-ins to a host computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.

Process Plug-ins

Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, befo r e sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.

• Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in– The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.

• Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in– The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before passing it to an Output Plug-in.

Profiles Screen

To launch DataWedge, touch > DataWedge. By default, three profiles appear:

•Profile0

• Launcher

•DWDemo.

Profile0 is the default profile and is used when no other profile can be applied.

Intent Overview

The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated by intents. An inten t is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data to be acted upon, the category of componen t tha t sho u l d pe rf or m th e act i on , an d ot he r pe rt ine n t instr u ctio ns . Android locates an appropriate component to respond to the intent, launches a new instance of the component if one is needed, and passes it the Intent object.

Components advertise their capabilities, the kinds of intents they can respond to, through intent filters. Since the system must learn which intents a component can handle before it launches the component, intent filters are specified in the manifest as <intent-filter>elements. A component may have any number of filters, each one describing a different capability. For example, if the manifest contains the following:

<intent-filter . . . > <action android:name=”android.intent.action.DEFAULT” /> <category android:name=”android.intent.category.MAIN” /> </intent-filter>

4 - 30 MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1

In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the Intent action would be:

android.intent.category.DEFAULT

and the Intent category would be:

android.intent.category.MAIN.

The Intent delivery option allows the method by which the intent is delivered to be specified. The delivery mechanisms are Send via startActivity, Send via startService or Broadcast intent.

The decode related data added to the Intent’s bundle can be retrieved using the

Intent.getStringExtra() and Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following

String tags:

• String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.label_type”;

• String contains the label type of the bar code.

• String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.data_string”;

• String contains the output data as a String. In th e case of concatenated bar codes, the decode data is

concatenated and sent out as a single string.

• String DECODE_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.decode_data”;

• Decode data is returned as a list of byte arrays. In most cases there will be one byte array per decode. For

bar code symbologies that support concatenation e.g. Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc., the decoded data is stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per bar code). Clients can get data in each byte array by passing an index.

The MSR related data added to the Intent's bundle can be retrieved using the Intent.getStringExtra() and Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:

• String MSR_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_data”;

• String contains the output data as a String. The data fr om the MSR tracks is concatenated and sent o ut as

a single string.

• String MSR_TRACK1_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1”;

• MSR track 1 data is returned as a byte array.

• String MSR_TRACK2_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2”;

• MSR track 2 data is returned as a byte array.

• String MSR_TRACK3_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3”;

• MSR track 3 data is returned as a byte array.

• String MSR_TRACK1_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1_status”;

• MSR track 1 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.

• String MSR_TRACK2_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2_status”;

• MSR track 2 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.

• String MSR_TRACK3_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3_status”;

• MSR track 3 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.

Most scanning applications might want the user to be able to decode data and for that decode data to be sent to the *current* activity but not necessarily displayed. If this is the case, then the activity needs to be marked as ‘singleTop’ in its AndroidManifest.xml file. If your activity is not defined as singleTop, then on every decode, the system will create another copy of your Activity and send the decode data to this second copy.

DataWedge Communication 4 - 31

Finally there will be a configuration option for each process plug-in so that the process plug-in can be configured specifically for the intent output, which in this case is the basic data formatting process plug-in.

Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules

The ADF plug-in applies rules (actions to be performed based o n defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before sending it to the output plug-in.

DataWedge Communication 4 - 35

• Rules - The ADF process plug-in consists of one or more rules. DataWedge formats the output data according to the first matching rule. A rule is a combination of criteria and a set of actions to be performed, upon fulfillment of the criteria set in the rule.

• Criteria - Criteria can be set according to Input plug-in, symbology, matching string within the data (at the specified position) and/or data length. Received data must match the defined criteria in order for the data to be processed.

• Actions - A set of procedures defined to format data. There are four types of actions which are for formatting cursor movement, data modification, data sending and dela y specifications. An action can be defined to send the first number of characters to the Output plug-in, pad the ou tput data with spaces or zeros, remove spaces in data, etc.

2. Touch > Change to change the location to save the file.

3. Select Internal Storage or External Storage.

4. Touch OK.

5. Select a profile from the profile list.

6. Touch Export. The profile file (dwprofile_x.db, where x = name of the profile) is saved to the selected location.

Restoring DataWedge

To restore DataWedge to the factory de fault configuration:

1. Touch > DataWedge.

2. Touch > Settings.

3. Touch Restore.

4. Touch Yes.

Configuration and Profile File Management

The configuration or profile settings for DataWe dge can be saved to a file for distribution to other devices. After making configuration or profile changes, export the new configuration or profile to the root of the microSD

card. The configuration file created is automatically named datawedge.db. The profile file created is automatically named dwprofile_x.db, where x is the profile name. The files can then the copied to the microSD card of other devices and imported into DataWedge on those devices. Importing a configuration or profile replaces the existing settings.

After making configuration or profile changes, export the new configuration or profile to the root of the On Device Storage. The configuration file created is automatically named datawedge.db. The profile file created is automatically named dwprofile_x.db, where x is the profile name. The files can then the copied to the On—device Storage of other devices and imported into DataWedge on those devices. Importing a configuration or profile replaces the existing settings.

Enterprise Folder

Internal storage contains the Enterprise folder (/enterprise). The Enterprise folder is persistent and maintains data after an Enterprise reset. After an Enterprise Reset, DataWedge checks folder

/enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/enterprisereset/for a configuration file, datawedge.db or a profile file, dwprofile_x.db. If the file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile.

DataWedge Communication 4 - 47

NOTE A Factory Reset deletes all files in the Enterprise folder.

Auto Import

DataWedge supports remote deployment of a configuration to a device, using tools such as MSP. DataWedge monitors the /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport folder for the DataWedge configuration file (datawedge.db) or a profile file (dwprofile_x.db). When DataWedge launches it checks the folder. If a configuration or profile file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile. Once the file has been imported it is deleted from the folder.

While DataWedge is running it receives a notification from the system that a file has been placed into the /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport folder. When this occurs, DataWedge imports this new configuration or profile, replacing the existing one and delete the file. DataWedge begins using the imported configuration immediately.

NOTE A Factory Reset deletes all files in the Enterprise folder.

It is strongly recommended that the user exits DataWedge before remotely deploying any configuration or profile. It is required that the file permissions are set to 666.

Programming Notes

The following paragraphs provide specific programming information when using DataWedge.

4 - 48 MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1

Capture Data and Taking a Photo in the Same Application

To be able to capture bar code data and take a photo in the same applica tion:

• Create a Datawedge profile pertaining to the picture taking Activity in your application that disables scanning and use standard Android SDK APIs to control the Camera.

• The default Datawedge profile takes care of the scanning in the application. You might want to create another DataWedge profile that caters to any specific scanning needs, as so cia ted to yo ur Application's Activity pertaining to scanning.

• DataWedge has an intent to enable or disable the bar code scanner if the user needs to control this programatically. More details can be found at: http://techdocs.zebra.com/datawedge/5-0/guide/api/.

Disable DataWedge on MC40 and Mass Deploy

To disable DataWedge and deploy onto multiple MC40 devices:

1. Touch > DataWedge.

2. Touch > Settings.

3. Unselect the DataWedge enabled check box.

4. Export the DataWedge configuration. See Exporting a Configuration File on page 4-46 for instructions. See

Configuration and Profile File Management on page 4-47 for instructions for using the auto import feature.

Soft Scan Feature

DataWedge allows a native Android a pplication to progra mmatically start, stop, or toggle th e scan trigger state. The application can issue an Android Broadcast Intent, to control the scanner, without requiring the scan button to be pressed. The active DataWedge profile is required to control all the parameters during a scan operation.

The structure of the broadcast intent that resolves to the soft scan is:

action: “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER” extras: This is a String name/value pair that contains trigger state details. name: “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER” value: “START_SCANNING” or “STOP_SCANNING” or “TOGGLE_SCANNING”

Sample

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(); sendIntent.setAction(“com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER”); sendIntent.putExtra(“com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER”, “TOGGLE_SCANNING”); sendBroadcast(sendIntent);

Configuring for a Proxy Server

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.

It is important for enterprise customers to be ab le to set up secu re computing environm ents within their companies, and proxy configuration is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.
