Overview

This sample demonstrates simultaneous scanning of multiple barcodes using capabilities in the Barcode/Scanning APIs. These APIs work independently of any Data Capture profiles.

Notes

  • This sample illustrates a single use-case for implementing multi-barcode features; it is not a comprehensive example of the many ways this feature could be used.
  • DataWedge cannot be configured for data capture through Profile Manager when using EMDK-X 4.0 or higher. Zebra recommends using the DataWedge APIs instead.
