Setting up Chainway Laser Scanner

The Laser scanner on Chainway devices often come pre-configured with a non-standard method of capturing 1D and 2D barcodes.  This can lead to RFIDLinked from being unable to correctly capture scanned barcodes.

Correctly configured, the laser device should be setup to capture the full UPC-A/EAN13 barcode, including the initial "System Character" or "Country Code", and the final "Check Digit.".

For Android 13

On Android 13, open the Keyboard Emulator application.  Then select the 2D Settings tab from the top.

From the 2D Settings menu ensure that the following options are set:
  • UPC-A - Should be Enabled.
  • EAN13 - Should be Enabled.
  • Transmit UPC-A Check Digit  - Should be Enabled.
  • UPC-A Preamble - Transmit System Character Only.
