Ethernet Settings
The following settings can be configured when using Ethernet communication:
• Proxy Settings
• Static IP.
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.
To configure the device for a proxy server:
1. Swipe down from the Status bar to open the Quick Access panel and then touch .
2. Touch Network & Internet > Ethernet.

Accessories
3. Place the device into the Ethernet cradle slot.
4. Slide the switch to the On position.
5. Touch and hold eth0 until the menu appears.
6. Touch Modify proxy.
7. Touch the Proxy drop-down list and select Manual.

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.
Accessing DataWedge
To access DataWedge:
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen and touch .
Basic Scanning
Scanning can be performed using the following:
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.
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:
77
Profile0
DataWedge
• 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 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
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.
78
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, three profiles appear:
•Profile0
• Launcher
•DWDemo
DataWedge
Profile0 is the default profile and is used when no other profile can be applied.

Hardware Trigger
Enables or disables the hardware trigger for scanning (Default - enabled). If disabled, pressing the hardware
trigger will not scan a barcode. When the hardware trigger is disabled, it cannot be used for starting the
scanning beam, but if scanning is started by a soft scan trigger intent, then a hardware trigger press cancels
the scan.
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.
For Bluetooth scanners, if the device was not previously paired, a pairing barcode displays prior to automatic
connection.
• 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).
• 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 de
fault scanner, the newly connected scanner becomes the default scanner.

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).

• 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.

• 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.
•UTF-8 - A character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters, or code points, defined by
Unicode (default).
• GB2312 - Character set of the People's Republic of China, used for simplified Chinese characters.
• Auto Character Set Failure Option - If the system cannot find a character set from the preferred list
that can be used to successfully decode the data, the character set selected in Auto Character Set
Failure Option is used to decode the data and send to the user. If NONE is used, Null data is returned
as string data.
•NONE
•UTF-8 - A character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters, or code points, defined by
Unicode (default).
• ISO-8859-1 - Part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings. It is
generally intended for Western European languages.
• Shift_JIS - ended for Western European languages.
•Shift_JIS - Shift Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) is a character encoding for the Japanese
language.
• GB18030 - Chinese coded character set that defines the required language and character support
necessary for software in China.
• 1D Quiet Zone Level - Sets the level of aggressiveness in decoding barcodes with a reduced quiet zone
(the area in front of and at the end of a barcode), and applies to symbologies enabled by a Reduced Quiet
98
DataWedge
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.
• Adaptive Scanning - When adaptive scanning is enabled, the scan engine toggles between wide and
narrow, allowing the scan engine to decode barcodes based on the distance.
• Disable
• Enable (default).
• Beam Width - Beam Width is applicable only with linear scanners.
•Narrow
• Normal (default)
•Wide
• Aim mode - Turns the scanner cross-hairs on or off.
• On - Cross-hair is on (default).
• Off - Cross-hair is off.
• Aim Timer - Sets the maximum amount of time that aiming remains on (0 - 60,000 ms in increments of 100
ms). A value of 0 sets the aim to stay on indefinitely (default - 500).
• Aim Type - Set the aiming usage.
• Trigger - A trigger event activates decode processing, which continues until the trigger event ends or a
valid decode occurs (default).
• Timed Hold - A trigger pull and hold activates the laser for aiming, which continues until the trigger is
released, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is expired.
• Timed Release - A trigger pull activates the laser for aiming, which continues until a valid decode or the
remaining decode session time has expired.
• Press and Release - A trigger pull and release activates the laser for aiming, which continues until a
trigger is pressed again, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is expired.
• Presentation - Automatically activates the scanner and starts scanning immediately when a barcode is
presented in its field of view, without any trigger press.
• Continuous Read - When the imager detects an object in its field of view, it triggers and attempt to
decode.
• Press and Sustain - Starts the scan beam when the trigger is pressed and continues the decode
session until the Beam Timer is expired, barcode is decoded or read is canceled. Scan beam is not
stopped when the trigger is released. This avoids unexpected cancellations of a read by subsequently
pressing the trigger button of the device; subsequent trigger p
effect.
• Beam Timer - Sets the maximum amount of time that the reader remains on (0 - 60,000 ms in increments
of 100 ms). A value of 0 sets the reader to stay on indefinitely (default -5000).
• Time Delay to Low Power - Sets the time the decoder remains active after decoding. After a scan session,
the decoder waits this amount of time before entering Low Power Mode. Options: 1 Second (default), 30
Seconds, 1 Minute or 5 Minutes.
• Different Symbol Timeout - Controls the time the scanner is inactive between decoding different symbols.
Programmable in 500 msec increments from 0 to 5 seconds. The default is 500 msec.

• DPM External Illumination - Controls illumination for DPM barcodes.
• Direct - Scanner uses only direct (white) illumination. Recommended for use with dot peen barcodes - tilt
the part 30 degrees for optimal decoding.
• Indirect - Scanner uses only red illumination. Recommended for use with laser etched barcodes on
cylinders or curved, rough, grainy, highly reflective, or visibly machined surfaces.
• Cycle (default)- Scanner cycles alternately between direct and indirect illumination. The scanner starts with
the illumination used during the last successful decode.
