Bar code scanner

We're using a Zebra TC77 for tracking packages around and it has been a great success this past year!

I'm talking about the barcode scanner session event. Straight from the manual The scanned barcode action can make use of a mobile device's built in camera.

Prefix/suffix must be configured on the scanner, yes, but you also have to define them on the component as well, which is what I was referring to.

Hi, I bought a CipherLab RS35 handheld scanner with pistol grip. I need assistance as I have done a basic perspective app but the app launches the camera instead of the dedicated front scanner.

Sounds like you are trying to use the scan barcode action. This is used when you do not have a built-in scanning engine, so you use the camera.

For the scanning engine, use the barcode scanner input component setup with prefix/suffix framing. Then on the device's scanner configuration app, add the prefix/suffix characters and set the data output to key events.
