To scan a barcode using the camera on the hand-held device tap Activate Phone Camera.

This will bring up the phone camera scan screen. Once a barcode is along the red line, the camera will capture the barcode and fill the information for that barcode in the Barcode box.

Scan a Barcode

For MobileScan to recognize QR code for packages, the QR code must use a specific format. For more information on the QR code format, see CIP M_PCK_QRCODE_CUSTOM.

  • The Barcode Manager generates barcodes with a prefix based on the first letters of company's name in the license file (default.json), followed by the item_ship_id. For example, for an item_ship_id 69162778 and company name Wayne Enterprises Inc, the prefix for the barcode is WEI, and a sample barcode would be WEI69162778.

  • The project default ZC_BR_ICN defines whether to accept or reject barcodes with company initials (attached as prefix to the ItemShipID) during a scan in receive, transfer, issue, and item info screens.

    N (Default) - the application accepts barcodes with company initials.

    Y - the application accepts only the barcodes without company initials.

    If you use a barcode generator that does not use company initials, then you must set the project default value to Y.

Item based custom QR codes

To work with item based custom QR codes, you must:

  • Set the project default ZC_QRCODE value to Y.

  • In the function process_qr_code, set is_barcode_processing to TRUE.

Project default ZC_QRCODE takes the following values:

N – specifies support for single line QR code.

Y – specifies support for multi-line QR code.

By default, Issue and Transfer tiles support multi-line QR code and hence the project default ZC_QRCODE is not applicable for Issue and Transfer tiles.
