Backup Power
The device is equipped with a super-capacitor (supercap) to provide backup power to the device when the
main battery is removed. The supercap will retain random access memory (RAM) data in memory for
approximately five minutes after the main battery is removed during Hot Swap.
IMPORTANT: The supercap is automatically charged from the main battery and requires approximately fifteen
minutes to fully charge.
Hot Swap Mode
The device provides a Hot Swap mode where you can replace the battery without powering off the device.
When you remove the battery, the display turns off and the devices enters the Hot Swap mode. WLAN and
Bluetooth connectivity are retained for the first 30 seconds (indicated by a flashing amber LED). After 30
seconds, the device enters a critical suspend mode with RAM data persistence for approximately 5 minutes. In
the critical suspend mode, WLAN and Bluetooth radios are disabled and will only resume if you insert a battery
with sufficient charge into the device.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the device, DO NOT perform a hot swap during a device boot up session.
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: The supercap requires time to recharge after performing a Hot Swap or after the main battery is
fully depleted. It can take up to 15 minutes to fully charge the supercap. Hot Swap mode will not retain data
unless the supercap is fully charged.

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 and requests 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 able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, making proxy configuration essential. 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.

DataWedge
Introduction
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 the following:
Barcode Capture with Imager
To capture barcode data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the top of the device at a barcode.
3. Press and hold the Scan button or Trigger.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
4. Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by the cross-hairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming
dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
The Scan LEDs light green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the barcode was decoded
successfully. Note that when the device is in Pick List Mode, the device does not decode the
barcode until the center of the crosshair touches the barcode.
Figure 85 Data Capture
5. Release the scan button or Trigger.
91
Profiles
DataWedge
6. The barcode content data appears in the text field.
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.
Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user
application 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 pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in applications:
•Visible profiles:
Some Zebra applications are capable of capturing data by scanning. DataWedge is pre-loaded with private
and hidden profiles for this purpose. There is no option to modify the private profiles.
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 other 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
•Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no
user created profiles associated with an application.
•Launcher - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground.
•DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.
A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies
such as barcode scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:
•Input Plug-ins
•Output Plug-ins
•Process Plug-ins.
92
Input Plug-ins
An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a barcode scanner contained in, or attached to the device.
DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.
Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in – The Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the
integrated barcode scanner and supports different types of barcode readers including laser, imager and
internal camera. Raw data read from the barcode scanner can be processed or formatted using Process
Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the barcode scanner to issue user
alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
Process Plug-ins
Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement,
before 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.
DataWedge
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 Output 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 data received from the Input 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.
Profiles Screen
To launch DataWedge, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and touch . By default, the following profiles
appear:
•Profile0
