Figure 7 Insert Bottom of Battery into Battery Compartment

2. Press the battery down into the battery compartment until the battery release latches snap into place.

Charging the Battery

Before using the TC51 for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC51 use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the TC51 see Accessories for more information.

The >

15.48 Watt hours (typical) / > 4,150 mAh battery, charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5

hours, and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately three hours.

NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for

approximately 14 hours of use.

To achieve the best fast charging results use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the TC51 in sleep mode.

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC51 or accessory always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the TC51 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC51 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED and a notification appears on the display.

1. To charge the main battery, connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

2. Insert the TC51 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC51 turns on and begins charging. The

Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

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 that is to receive the data 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 Scan button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the bar

code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The Data Capture LED lights red to indicate that data capture is in process.

Figure 59 TC51 Data Capture

4. The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded

successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.

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:

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:

DataWedge

• Associated application

• Input plug-in configurations

• Output plug-in configurations

• Process plug-in configurations.

• 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. Note: to save battery power,

disable this profile when not required.

• 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 these 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 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.

DataWedge

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 Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data

from the integrated bar code scanner and supports different types of bar code readers 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.

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.

• CLSI Editing - Enable this parameter to strip the start and stop characters and insert a space after the

first, fifth, and tenth characters of a 14-character Codabar symbol. Enable this feature if the host

system requires this data format (default - disabled).

• Length1 - Use to set decode lengths (default - 6). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more

information.

• Length2 - Use to set decode lengths (default - 55). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more

information.

• NOTIS Editing - Enable this parameter to strip the start and stop characters from a decoded Codabar

symbol. Enable this feature if the host system requires this data format (default - disabled).

• Redundancy - Sets the reader to read the bar code twice before accepting data. A check in the

checkbox indicates that redundancy is enabled (default - enabled).

Code 11

• Length1 - Use to set decode lengths (default - 4). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more information.

• Length2 - Use to set decode lengths (default - 55). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more

information.

• Redundancy - Sets the reader to read the bar code twice before accepting data. A check in the checkbox

indicates that redundancy is enabled (default - enabled).

• Report Check Digit - Transmit Code 11 data with or without the check digit. A check in the checkbox

indicates to send Code 11 data with check digit (default - disabled).

• Verify Check Digit - Check the integrity of all Code 11 symbols to verify that the data complies with the

specified check digit algorithm. This selects the check digit mechanism for the decoded Code 11 bar code.

• No Check Digit - Do not verify check digit.

• 1 Check Digit - Bar code contains one check digit (default).

• 2 Check Digits - Bar code contains two check digits.

Code128

• Code128 Reduced Quiet Zone - Enables decoding of margin-less Code 128 bar codes (Imager RS6000

and DS3678 only).

• Ignore Code128 FCN4 - When enabled, and a Code 128 bar code has an embedded FNC4 character, it

will be removed from the data and the following characters will not be changed. When the feature is disabled, the FNC4 character will not be transmitted but the following character will have 128 added to it (Imager, RS6000, and DS3678 only).

• Check ISBT Table - The ISBT specification includes a table that lists several types of ISBT bar codes that

are commonly used in pairs. If ISBT128 Concat Mode is set, enable Check ISBT Table to concatenate only those pairs found in this table. Other types of ISBT codes are not concatenated. A check in the checkbox indicates that redundancy is enabled (default - disabled).

• Enable GS1-128 - Set the GS1 128 subtype. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled

(default - enabled).

• Enable ISBT128 - Set the ISBT128 subtype. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled

(default - enabled).

• Enable Plain Code 128 - RS6000 and DS3678 only. Enables other (non-EAN or ISBT) Code 128

subtypes. (default-enabled).

DataWedge

• ISBT128 Concatenation Mode - Select an option for concatenating pairs of ISBT code types:

• Concat Mode Never - Do not concatenate pairs of ISBT codes encountered (default).

• Concat Mode Always - There must be two ISBT codes in order to decode and perform concatenation.

Does not decode single ISBT symbols.

• Concat Mode Auto - Decodes and concatenates pairs of ISBT codes immediately. If only a single

ISBT symbol is present, the device must decode the symbol the number of times set via DataWedge

Configuration 4 - 11 Redundancy - Code128 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no

additional ISBT symbol.

• Length1 - Use to set decode lengths (default - 0). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more information.

• Length2- Use to set decode lengths (default - 55). See UPC EAN Params on page 81 for more

information.

• Redundancy - Sets the reader to read the bar code twice before accepting data. A check in the checkbox

indicates that redundancy is enabled (default - disabled).

• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 128 bar codes. Select

increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

• Security Level 0 - This setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while

providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.

• Security Level 1 - This setting eliminates most misdecodes (default).

• Security Level 2 - Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.

• Security Level 3 - If Security Level 2 is selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level.

Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar

codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this

level of security is needed, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Code39

• Code39 Reduced Quiet Zone - Enables decoding of margin-less Code 39 bar codes (imager, RS6000,

and DS3678 only).
