Configuration
There are options to configure: which camera is used to scan barcodes, add a keystroke after the barcode, use the flashlight (which works only if tablet complies with Windows 10 API), and which barcodes are enabled for scanning.
The screenshots below offer guidance for these.
Once Configure mobXscan can be launched and will enter Barcode data straight into the target application. Just press the scan button and point the camera at the Barcode.
URL commands can be used to control the behaviour of mobXscan. These include launch, show, hide, scan, exit. URL commands can also combine show with size and position of the scanning window. We also supply a small utility ‘mobxscan launcher’ that commands mobXscan to launch and scan, which can be used where url commands are not available, eg with a Function key. |
