Scanner Configuration - Overview

Overview

This article explains how to configure your scanner for use with the StoreFeeder WMS app. For device-specific instructions, refer to the article for your scanner brand:

• M3 scanner configuration
• Datalogic scanner configuration
• Zebra scanner configuration
• Opticon scanner configuration
• Honeywell scanner configuration
• Seuic AutoID 9 scanner configuration
• Newland scanner configuration

How scanner configuration works

Configuration is a two-stage process:

1. Enter the required settings in a scanner app or the device Settings app.
2. Open the StoreFeeder WMS app and scan a test barcode to link the configuration.

Once configured correctly, you do not need to tap an input field or press Search when scanning a barcode. For example, on the Product Enquiry page you can scan a barcode and the search field populates and searches automatically.

Where to find the settings

Depending on your device, you enter the settings in one of two places:

• In the Settings app — look for a Barcode Settings menu or similar option.
• In a dedicated app — for example, ScanEmul on M3 devices or DataWedge on Zebra TC20.

Required settings

The exact settings vary by device (see the device-specific articles), but the general requirements are:

• Use Intent Output
• Intent Action: com.sf.barcode.action
• Intent Category: com.sf.barcode.category (not available on all devices)
• Intent Extra Barcode Data: scannedbarcode (only set this if the field exists and has no value — not available on all devices)
• Intent Delivery: Broadcast Intent
• If you can associate an app, select StoreFeeder WMS or com.storefeeder.sfclassicmobileapp, and choose * for activities

Link the scanner to StoreFeeder

1. Open the StoreFeeder WMS app.
2. From the menu, go to Settings > On Device Scanner Configuration > I have updated the settings.
3. Select I'm ready to scan and scan barcode 12345678.
4. A success message confirms the scanner is configured correctly.
