DataWedge and Keyboard Emulator Settings

Overview

DataWedge and Keyboard Emulator are two software tools that can be used to automate and streamline the data collection in your inventory management processes. DataWedge is a software application for Android mobile devices that allows you to capture data from barcodes, RFID tags, and other types of data sources using the device’s built-in camera and sensors. Keyboard emulator settings, on the other hand, can be useful when using a barcode scanner that is not compatible with DataWedge.

1. Open the DataWedge app on your Android device. You can find it installed in the app drawer.
