Barcode

Overview

The Barcode Module controls functionality of the device scanner. Check the platform indicators in each property or method section. If developing for a device with only a camera, the number of symbologies available will be limited only to the most common such as EAN13 and UPCA, and scanning will be available only through the device camera. If the app is running on more well-equipped hardware, finer control over a more fully featured Scanner wilol be available, often with a choice of scanner hardware to use on the device.

If the use case involves capturing a single barcode (for example, a pricing kiosk app) Zebra recommends using the Barcode.take(callback) method. If the app will decode multiple barcode types common in enterprise scenarios (for example a warehouse inventory and receiving app), Zebra recommends using the Barcode.enable(callback) method.

Notes:

• Only foreground apps have access to scanning hardware. When an app is sent to the background, its state is saved and scanner control is automatically relinquished. When a scanner app returns to the foreground, its previous state is reapplied.

• On the VC70, the scanner will work only if connected in SSI Mode.

• EB 1.5 now supports the decodeSound method. A bug in the method prevents apps made with EB 1.4 and earlier from using the method.

• The RE 2.x Scanner API and the EB 1.x Barcode API should not be used simultaneously in any Enterprise Browser application; only one or the other should be used.

Enabling the API

There are two methods of enabling the Barcode API:

• Include all ebapi modules
• Include only the required API modules

For either of these methods, one or more files must be copied to the device from the /Enterprise Browser/JavaScript Files/Enterprise Browser directory on the computer that contains the Enterprise Browser installation.

Include all API modules

To include all APIs, copy the ebapi-modules.js file to a location accessible by the app's files and include a reference to the JavaScript file in the app's HTML. For instance, to include the modules file in the app's index.html, copy the file to the same directory as that index.html and add the following line to the HTML's HEAD section:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi-modules.js"></script>

The code above defines the EB class within the page. Note that the path for this file is relative to the current page (index.html). Any page on which the modules are required must include a reference to the required .js file(s) in this fashion.

Include only the required modules

To include individual APIs, first include a reference to the ebapi.js module in the HTML, and then the additional required API file(s). For instance, to use the Barcode API, add the following code to the HTML file(s), assuming the API files have been copied to the same directory as the HTML.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="eb.barcode.js"></script>

In the lines above, notice that ebapi.js is included first, followed by eb.barcode.js, which is the Barcode API for Enterprise Browser. This coding is required on each HTML page whenever an individual API will be called from that page.

aimType

Type

STRING

Description

Describes the type of aiming to use.

Values

Possible Values (STRING):

• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TRIGGER - String: trigger Standard trigger mode. Holding the trigger will start a decoding session.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TIMED_HOLD - String: timedHold Aiming lasts for the time specified by 'timedAimDuration' before decoding. The opportunity to scan will last until the barcode is decoded or scanTimeout occurs.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TIMED_RELEASE - String: timedRelease Aiming lasts until trigger is released. If the timedAimDuration has expired when the trigger is released then a decode session is started until a barcode is decoded or for the remaining time equal to the scanTimeout value.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_PRESENTATION - String: presentation Provided to support Kiosk devices. The scanner illuminates when movement is detected in the range of the scanner window. In order to use this mode the scanner must be initiated with a softscan using the EB.Barcode.start() method and again after each decode. The device must be equipped with a sensor to detect movement to use presentation mode. MK31XX devices come with presentation mode pre-enabled in the scanner driver and the aimType cannot be modified for these devices.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_PRESS_AND_RELEASE - String: pressAndRelease Scan will continue after the trigger is released until scanTimeout occurs.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.AIMTYPE_CONTINUOUS_READ - String: continuousRead Once the trigger is pulled barcodes will continue to be scanned as long as the trigger is held, enabling rapid scanning, to be used in conjunction with sameSymbolTimeout and differentSymbolTimeout. This value is ignored if viewfinderMode is set to 'dynamicReticle'

allDecoders

Type

BOOLEAN

Description

When set to true, the barcode scanner will read all barcode types that the scanner is capable of reading. When set to false, the barcode scanner will not be able to decode any symbologies, this is most useful if you want to set the scanner to a default state before only enabling your required symbologies. The fewer symbologies that are enabled the faster the decoding performance of the scanning engine will be. This property will return true only if all supported symbologies by the scanner are enabled, if only a subset of supported symbologies are enabled then false will be returned. Note that some decoders will not be enabled as some symbologies use the same systems to encode data, making it impossible to differentiate between them. For example: "canpostal" and "auspostal" both use a 4-state system, so devices will only enable either "canpostal" OR "auspostal" when "alldecoders" is enabled. Note that other symbologies also share the 4-state system.

picklistMode

Type

STRING

Description

Allows the imager to decode only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair on Android and center of the reticle on WM/CE. This feature is most useful in applications where multiple barcodes may appear in the field of view during a decode session and only one of them is targeted for decode. When enabled picklistMode will override aimMode or, if no aiming is chosen, and use aimMode:reticle. This mode will also interact with viewfinderMode, see the EMDK for C help file for more information. Enabling picklist mode may adversely affect overall decoding performance.

Values

Possible Values (STRING):

• Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_DISABLED - String: disabled Disables picklist mode so any barcode within the field of view can be decoded.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_HARDWARE_RETICLE - String: hardwareReticle Enables picklist mode so that only the barcode under the projected reticle can be decoded. On Windows, if the imager does not support a projected reticle then the behavior is the same as softwareReticle. On Android, this is only supported for Imager (non-viewfinder) based scanners.
• Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_SOFTWARE_RETICLE - String: softwareReticle Enables picklist mode so that only the barcode in the center of the image is decoded on WM/CE and under the cross-hair on Android. This is most useful when used in conjunction with static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes.

Remarks

Limitation of Scanner and Barcode API

The RE 2.x Scanner API and the EB 1.x Barcode API should not be used simultaneously in any Enterprise Browser application; only one or the other should be used.

Omnii XT15

On the Zebra Omnii XT15 device running Windows Mobile/CE, the decode success and failure sounds are not audible unless the decode sound is configured manually in the Config.xml file. To configure this setting, see the <ScanDecodeWav> parameter in the Config.xml Reference Guide.

Bluetooth Scanner Overview

Once associated with the Device a Bluetooth Scanner will remain associated even after losing the BT connection. In order to associate a different Bluetooth scanner with the device it is necessary to scan the 'unpairing' barcode and then invoke the 'disabled' method followed by the 'enabled' method, this will allow you to scan the BT association barcode with a different scanner. You can override this default behavior using the disconnectBtOnDisable property.

The following messages will be received from the Bluetooth Scanner in the bluetoothStatus event:

'BTScanAssociationBarcode'

Means the device is ready to be associated with a BT scanner. You must scan the association barcode. It is only necessary to scan the association barcode when you first associate a scanner with the device, this pairing will be remembered until you scan the unpairing barcode.

'BluetoothConnected'

The remote scanner has successfully connected to the device.

'BluetoothDisconnected'

The remote scanner has become disconnected from the device, this may be due to loss of battery, being out of range or scanning the 'unpairing' barcode. The scanner will attempt to reconnect automatically for a period of time once it regains power or goes out of range, if it fails to reconnect after the specified timeout the reconnect button on the device should be pushed. Once the unpairing barcode is scanned it is necessary to disable the scanner and then re-enable it before another scanner can be associated.

Bluetooth Scanner Support On Android Devices

Enterprise Browser does not support Bluetooth scanners on the Zebra TC70 GA1 device.

Enterprise Browser supports Bluetooth scanners on devices running Android KitKat and higher.

Viewfinder Position Parameters

On Symbol Technologies' scanners the scanner viewfinder window is not infinitely resizable, when setting ViewFinderX, ViewFinderY, ViewFinderWidth and ViewFinderHeight ensure you do not exceed the size of the screen and it is recommended to use the same aspect ratio as your device. For applications designed to handle screen rotation it is recommended to use a scan window whose longest side will fit within both the screen width and screen height. If your viewfinder position fails to be applied it is recommended you query your log file to see which parameter is causing trouble, or reposition the window away from the edges of the screen.

Scanning and Camera Interaction

In some device configurations the scanner and camera share the same hardware. Where two modules share the same physical hardware they cannot be enabled simultaneously, in this circumstance once the scanner is enabled it must be disabled before the camera can be used, and vice versa.

Get Scanner Properties

On WM/CE, it is first necessary to enable the scanner before most of the properties can be retrieved. The case of scanner properties will differ across platforms. On WM/CE, some of the scanner properties are not exposed to set but can be retrieved. On Android, only supported scanner properties can be retrieved in "getAllProperties" method.

Set Scanner Properties

On WM/CE, for some properties, it is first necessary to apply those properties before enabling the scanner.

Android Camera Barcode limitation

As google barcode scanning library(Zxing library) supported only in Landscape mode. Barcode scanning window only appears at centre of screen in Landscape mode.

Devices lacking support

Due to platform limitations this API is not available on the following Zebra Technologies devices on specific platform. Note: However one can enable legacy scanner service and can scan the respective barcode.

• VH10 CE 6.0

Examples

This example shows how to enable your device's barcode scanner and access the data gathered by the scanner. Note that this example assumes that your ebapi-modules.js file is in the same folder as the HTML invoking it. On symbol devices, data wedge needs to be disabled or the Enterprise Browser will not be able to claim any of the scanners.
