Honeywell scanner options

Glink can either receive scanner data as simulated keyboard input or receive scanner data with Data intent. In the latter case, a Honeywell scanner profile must match the Glink settings:

Profile name

Specify the name of the Honeywell scanner profile to be used with this Glink session configuration. The default value is Glink

Intent action

Glink will listen for an Intent action (default value is no.gar.glink.data) sent by the Honeywell scanner. The scanner profile must be configured with a matching Intent action, see Honeywell scanner profile settings below:

Honeywell scanner profile settings

For Glink to receive scanned data, a Scanner profile must be configured. Select the standard Android Settings app, scroll down to the Honeywell Settings section, select Scanning->Internal Scanner to setup the internal scanner or Scanning->Bluetooth Scanner to setup an external Bluetooth scanner.

Internal scanner

In the upper right corner, select the + symbol to create a new Scanner Profile. Use Glink as the profile name. Select the new Glink profile and then select Data Processing Settings. Scroll down to Data intent, select it and set Action field to no.gar.glink.data.

Bluetooth scanner

Select the Default profile and then select Data Processing Settings. Scroll down to Data intent, select it and set Action field to no.gar.glink.data.

To check that scanned data is received through this interface, the scanned data should also be displayed on the status line at the bottom of the Glink screen. If scanned data is received without data displayed on the status line, the scanned data is received as keyboard input data (Wedge mode).
