Chainway Scanner setting

Infowedge

Use the Infowedge app supplied with the device to set various scanning parameters.

The Infowedge app lists the barcode profiles defined for the device. The first time Glink connects to a server application, Glink will create a new profile named Glink and use this profile when scanning barcodes. Modify this profile if additional barcode settings are needed.

Remap or Block Scan key

Please note that on some Chainway devices a function key code is sent to Glink when a scan key is pressed. Glink will handle this as normal key input and send it to the server application. There are different ways to avoid this behavior, depending on the Chainway model.

On some Chainway devices you have to change the key mapping for the Scan keys in Android Settings -> KeySettings. Tap Menu, then New mapping, press the Scan key you want to remap, then tap Click to select then CUSTOM KEYCODE and enter the custom keycode 293 (Gun trigger) and tap YES. The final step is to tap the Check icon in the top right corner of the screen.

On other Chainway devices you can avoid this behavior by opening the Keyboardemulator app and enable the parameter AppSettings -> block scan key.

Show on status line

Make sure the parameter Show on status line is enabled to see scanned data received with Data intent on the status line at the bottom of the Glink screen. When this parameter is not enabled or scanned data is received as simulated keyboard input, you will only see the scanned barcode in the emulator screen.
