To ensure barcode scans on Honeywell MDE devices are received correctly by COBI.wms, the keyboardemulator app must be configured to send scan data via BroadcastReceiver to COBI.wms.

• Honeywell MDE (Android)
• keyboardemulator app (verified with v11.4.3.M)
• COBI.wms installed
• Recommended: close COBI.wms while applying the settings

• Function: enable scanner, enable Barcode2D, set KeyCode
• AppSettings: enable BroadcastReceiver and set action/key
• Optional/recommended: End mark = Enter

1. Open keyboardemulator.
2. Go to the Function tab.
3. Apply/verify the following:
   1. Barcode2D: enable (check the box). *(see marker 1)*
   2. KeyCode: set to 293. *(see marker 2)*
   3. Enable Scanner: set to AN (On). *(see marker 3)*

Note: Depending on the device setup, Barcode1D may also be used. For COBI.wms it is essential that scans are triggered and then forwarded via Broadcast (next step).

1. Switch to the AppSettings tab. *(see marker 1)*
2. Select BroadcastReceiver as the output mode. *(see marker 2)*
3. In section Barcode, set:
   • Broadcast name: de.cobi.wms.action.KEYBOARDEMULATOR_BARCODE *(see marker 3)*
   • Key: data
4. (Optional/recommended) In section End mark:
   • Enable Enter
   • Keep TAB disabled

Important: The broadcast name must match exactly, including capitalization and underscores.

1. Open COBI.wms.
2. Navigate to a field where scanning is expected (e.g., login, item/barcode field).
3. Scan a barcode.
4. Expected result: COBI.wms receives the value and processes it (e.g., item is found).

If nothing is received:

• fully close COBI.wms (task switcher) and reopen it
• verify BroadcastReceiver is selected (not “Keyboard input”)
• verify Broadcast name and Key are correct

• No reaction in COBI.wms
  1. BroadcastReceiver not enabled / wrong broadcast name
  2. COBI.wms was running during changes → restart the app
• Scans appear as normal keyboard typing
  1. output mode is set to “Keyboard input” instead of “BroadcastReceiver”
• Scan is sent but value is empty
  1. the extra “Key” must be data (COBI.wms reads the barcode value from this field)
