Data Capture
The device supports data capture using:
• Internal imager
• Integrated camera
• RS507/RS507x Hands-free imager
• RS5100 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• DS3578 Digital Scanner
• DS3678 Digital Scanner
• DS8178 Digital Scanner
Imaging
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the
image. With a 2D imager, the device has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Digital Camera
NOTE: The integrated camera is intended for light-duty barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100
or more scans per day, use the 2D imager.
The device with an integrated camera based barcode scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
QR, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
• Picklist mode to decode a particular barcode from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, and executes
state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Data Capture
On camera only devices without an internal scan engine, the back camera is used for barcode scanning.
When the front camera is used by an app, such as for indoor locationing, the back camera becomes
disabled and cannot be used for barcode scanning.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode
by pressing the Scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field
of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes
a barcode.
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a barcode when more than one
barcode is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the
required barcode to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple
barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or
2D).
NOTE: To enable Basic MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API
command.
• Basic MultiBarcode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode a specific number
of unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as long as the user holds
the scan button, or until it decodes all the barcodes. Available on integrated SE2100 or SE4710
imagers only.
• The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 10).
• If there are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the duplicate barcodes
is decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has two duplicate barcodes plus another two
different barcodes, a maximum of three barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be
ignored as a duplicate.
• Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together. For example, if the
specified quantity for a Basic MultiBarcode scan is four, two barcodes can be symbology type Code
128 and the other two can be symbology type Code 39.
• If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in view of the device, the device will not
decode any data until the device is moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If
the device field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified quantity, the
device randomly decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of unique barcodes is reached. For
example, if the count is set to two and eight barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the
first two unique barcodes it sees, returning the data in random order.
• Basic MultiBarcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it.
However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances
from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan
within range for quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes.
Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being
scanned.
• Angle: Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back
into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode
so that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs
to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what
tolerances to work within.
• Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
• Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.
73
Data Capture
NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the barcode until the crosshair or
aiming dot touches the barcode.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM)
band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 m (32.8 ft))
communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks)
with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the
healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption
and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
100
Wireless
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b
operation is required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not
specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need.
Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented
on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to
authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device
authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the
devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the
devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the
Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key
request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction.
Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption.
The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of
note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance
eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The device supports the Bluetooth services listed.

StageNow
StageNow is Zebra's next-generation Android Staging Solution built on the MX platform. It allows quick
and easy creation of device profiles, and can deploy to devices simply by scanning a barcode, reading a
tag, or playing an audio file.
The StageNow Staging Solution includes the following components:
• The StageNow Workstation tool installs on the staging workstation (host computer) and lets the
administrator easily create staging profiles for configuring device components, and perform other
staging actions such as checking the condition of a target device to determine suitability for software
upgrades or other activities. The StageNow Workstation stores profiles and other created content for
later use.
• The StageNow Client resides on the device and provides a user interface for the staging operator to
initiate staging. The operator uses one or more of the desired staging methods (print and scan a
barcode, read an NFC tag or play an audio file) to deliver staging material to the device.
For more information go to: techdocs.zebra.com.
GMS Restricted
GMS Restricted mode deactivates Google Mobile Services (GMS). All GMS apps are disabled on the
device and communication with Google (analytics data collection and location services) is disabled.
Use StageNow to disable or enable GMS Restricted mode. After a device is in GMS Restricted mode,
enable and disable individual GMS apps and services using StageNow. To ensure GMS Restricted mode
persists after an Enterprise Reset, use the Persist Manager option in StageNow. For more information on
StageNow, refer to techdocs.zebra.com.

IMPORTANT: Use pre-moistened wipes and do not allow liquid cleaner to pool.
1When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products, always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp
alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.
Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite, the metal surfaces on the device are prone to
oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). In the event that
these type of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an
alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.
Harmful Ingredients
The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact
with the device: acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; aqueous or alcoholic
alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene; carbolic acid and TB-lysoform.
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are
known to be harmful to the housing of the device.
The following cleaners are only approved for healthcare devices:

straps or cradle cups, from the mobile device and to clean them separately.
192
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If the battery connectors are exposed to cleaning agents, thoroughly wipe off as much of the
chemical as possible and clean with an alcohol wipe. It is also recommended to install the battery in the
terminal prior to cleaning and disinfecting the device to help minimize buildup on the connectors.
When using cleaning/disinfectant agents on the device, it is important to follow the directions prescribed by
the cleaning/disinfectant agent manufacturer.
Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is at the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile
devices are used and may be cleaned as frequently as required. When dirt is visible, it is recommended to
clean the mobile device to avoid build up of particles which make the device more difficult to clean later on.
For consistency and optimum image capture, it is recommended to clean the camera window periodically
especially when used in environments prone to dirt or dust.
Display
The display can be wiped down with an approved alcohol wipe, but care should be taken not to allow any
pooling of liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dry the display with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth to prevent streaking.
