Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using the TC25 for the first time, charge the internal battery until the green Charging/Notification light
emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC25 use a USB-C cable or a cradle with the appropriate
power supply. For information about the accessories available for the TC25 see Accessories on page 25 for
more information.
The internal battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately four hours and from fully depleted to
100% in approximately five hours.
NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for approximately
10 hours of use.
Use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the TC25 in sleep mode.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC25 or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F))
the TC25 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep
the battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC25 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to
abnormal temperatures via its LED and a notification appears on the display.
To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

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
To capture bar code data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device 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 a Scan button. The red aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the bar
code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern.
Figure 75 TC25 Data Capture
Profiles
4. The Data Capture LED lights green, a beep sounds and the device vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar
code was decoded successfully. The captured 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.
62
Page 63
DataWedge
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:
• 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.
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
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.
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
63
Page 64
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.
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.

Barcode Input
Use the Barcode Input options to configure the Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in for the profile.
Enabled
Enables or disables this plug-in. A check in the checkbox indicates that the plug-in is enabled.
Scanner Selection
Configures which scanning device to use for barcode data capture when the profile is active. For Bluetooth
scanners, if the device was not previously paired, a pairing barcode displays prior to automatic connection.
•
Auto Switch to Default on Event
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. Disabled by default. This is only
available when Scanner Selection is set to Auto.
This helps reduce scanning workflow interruptions when a Bluetooth scanner is introduced and/or it becomes
disconnected due to losing power or moving out of range.
• Disabled - No scanner switching occurs when an external scanner is connected or disconnected (default).
• On connect - Selects the external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection.
• On disconnect - Reverts to a built-in scanner based on its position in an internally managed scanner list
(which varies by host device). This is usually the scanner most recently used prior to the external
connection (see notes below).
71
Page 72
DataWedge
• On connect/disconnect - Selects an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon
connection. Upon disconnection, reverts to the scanner set as the default prior to the external connection.
NOTE: The system selects the default scanner based on the connection state and the scanner's position in an internally
managed scanner list. If the newly connected scanner is lower in the scanner list than the one currently selected as the default scanner, the newly connected scanner becomes the default scanner.
On devices with only one built-in scanner or imager, On disconnect reverts to that built-in scanner or imager.
Decoders
Configures which barcode decoders are enabled or disabled. For best performance disable all unnecessary
decoders.

Page 80
DataWedge
• Bookland Format - If Bookland EAN is enabled, select one of the following formats for Bookland data:
• Format ISBN-10 - The decoder reports Bookland data starting with 978 in traditional 10-digit format with
the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered
Bookland in this mode. (default)
• Format ISBN-13 - The decoder reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in
13-digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol.
• Coupon - Enables Coupon code decoding. Note that in order to successfully decode Coupon codes, all of
the correct decoders must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
(default - disabled).
• Coupon Report Mode - Traditional coupon symbols are composed of two barcode: UPC/EAN and Code
128. A new coupon symbol is composed of a single Data Expanded barcode. The new format offers more
options for purchase values (up to $999.999) and supports complex discount offers as a second purchase
requirement. An interim coupon symbol also exists that contain both types of barcodes: UPC/EAN and
Databar Expanded. This format accommodates both retailers that do not recognize or use the additional
information included in the new coupon symbol, as well as those who can process new coupon symbols.
• Old Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128,
scanning is interim coupon symbol reports UPC, and scanning a new coupon symbol reports nothing
(no decode).
• New Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports either UPC or Code 128, and
scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded.
• Both Coupon Report Modes - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, and
scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded. (default)
• Ean Zero Extend – Enable this parameter to add five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make
them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disable this to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is. Default –
disabled.
• Linear Decode - This option applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks, for example, UPC-A,
EAN-8, EAN-13. Enable this parameter to transmit a bar code only when both the left and right blocks are
successfully decoded within one laser scan. Enable this option when bar codes are in proximity to each
other (default - enabled).
• Retry Count - Retry count for auto-discriminating for supplementals. Possible values are 2 to 20 inclusive.
Note that this flag is only considered if Supplemental Mode - UPC EAN is set to one of the following values:
Supplementals Auto, Supplementals Smart, Supplementals 378-379, Supplementals 978-979,
Supplementals 977 or Supplementals 414-419-434-439 (2 to 20, default 10).
• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN barcodes. Select higher
security levels for lower quality barcodes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode
speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for the application.
• Level 0 - This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in
decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN barcodes.
• Level 1 - As barcode quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before
others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are
limited to these characters, select this security level. (default).
• Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are not limited to
characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
• Level 3 - If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is
an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec barcodes. Selecting this level of security
can significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to
improve the quality of the barcodes.
• Supplemental2 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is
enabled.

• Supplemental5 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is
enabled.
• Supplemental Mode
• No Supplementals - the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner
decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters (default).
• Supplemental Always - the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters,
and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• Supplements Auto - the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters
immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the barcode the
number of times set via UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy before transmitting its data to confirm that
there is no supplemental.
• Supplemental Smart - Enables smart supplementals. In this mode the decoder returns the decoded
value of the main block right away if it does not belong to one of the following supplemental types: 378,
379, 977, 978, 979, 414, 419, 434 or 439. If the barcode starts with one of the prefixes it searches the
image more aggressively for a supplemental. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the
supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.
• Supplemental 378-379 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with
378 or 379. Disables reading of supplementals for any other UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 378 or
379. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main
barcode is returned.
• Supplemental 978-979 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with
978 or 979. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 978 or
979. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main
barcode is returned.
• Supplemental 414-419-434-439 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes
starting with 414, 419, 434 or 439. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode 4 16 not starting with 414, 419, 434 or 439. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the
supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.
• Supplemental 977 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 977.
Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 977. Tries to scan
the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

Page 82
DataWedge
• UTF-8 - A character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters, or code points, defined by
Unicode (default).
• Auto Character Set Preferred Order - In Auto Character Set Selection mode, the system will try to
decode the data in a preference order of character sets. The algorithm used is a best effort one. That is,
there could be cases where the data can be decoded from more than one character set. The first
character set from the preferred list which can decode the data successfully will be chosen to decode
the data and sent to the user. Any other character set that is in the list but lower in the preferred order,
would not be considered, even if the data could be successfully decoded using such character set.
The preferred character set and its preference order is configurable to the user through the Auto
Character Set Preferred Order menu. Users can change the order by dragging the icon for that menu
item. To delete an item, long press on an item and the Delete option will appear. To add a new item, tap
the menu icon at top right corner and options to add UTF-8 and GB2312 will appear.

(the area in front of and at the end of a barcode), and applies to symbologies enabled by a Reduced Quiet
Zone parameter. Because higher levels increase the decoding time and risk of misdecodes, Zebra strongly
recommends enabling only the symbologies which require higher quiet zone levels, and leaving Reduced
Quiet Zone disabled for all other symbologies.
Options are:
• 0 - The scanner performs normally in terms of quiet zone.
• 1 - The scanner performs more aggressively in terms of quiet zone (default).
• 2 - The scanner only requires one side EB (end of barcode) for decoding.
• 3 - The scanner decodes anything in terms of quiet zone or end of barcode.

Intent Overview
The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated
by intents. An intent is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data
to be acted upon, the category of component that should perform the action, and other pertinent instructions.
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>
In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the
android.intent.action.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
and
Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:
Intent action would be:
Intent.getStringExtra()
• String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.label_type”;
• String contains the label type of the barcode.

Page 90
• String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.data_string”;
• String contains the output data as a String. In the case of concatenated barcodes, the decode data is
• String DECODE_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.decode_data”;
• Decode data is returned as a list of byte arrays. In most cases there will be one byte array per 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.
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.

concatenated and sent out as a single string.
For barcode symbologies that support concatenation, for example, Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc.,
the decoded data is stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per barcode). Clients can get data in
each byte array by passing an index.

Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules
The ADF plug-in applies rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an
input plug-in before sending it to the output plug-in.
• 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 delay specifications. An action can be defined to
send the first number of characters to the Output plug-in, pad the output data with spaces or zeros, remove
spaces in data, etc.
