I need a datawedge for MC9090R6 - Computers & Internet

In DataWedge check: advanced configuration -> Profiles -> Your profile (Profile0 for default) -> Capturemode. If this setting is in "only to empty input field" mode, the device will only work on empty input field. Set it to "Always" to enable the scanner again. (Menu could be slightly different as i was using DataWedge 3.5)

Hello,
there are several ways to use the scanner: you can have an application directly with scanner drivers implemented. Or you can install the application DataWedge provided by the manufacturer.
The DataWedge application will activate the scanner and the decoded barcode is sent as usual keypad input to the system. The application is running in background, so you can have your favourite simple application in foreground and scan data directly.
To download the DataWedge application please go to support.symbol.com website and search for DataWedge, or use this direct link http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=12685

Hello Glenn,
to test the scanner I would suggest to download and install the Datawedge application. It is an desktop installation. As you will connect your MC55 to the Desktop per Active Sync the application will be installed also to your MC55.
The DataWedge aplication will activate the scanner and the decoded barcode is sent as usual keypad input to the system. The application is running in background, if you scan a barcode a pop-up window will come up. Or if another application is running it will send the input to the application.

Hello Osman, in the default settings of datawedge is an issue with barcode length for code128. Please check it and setup the specific length, that you want to use.
Klick on the DataWedge icon, select Standard Configurations, go to Scanner, Decoders, Code128 and select the min and max value.

DataWedge is an Application provided by Symbol/Motorola to enable the scanning module also for application without the driver. Scanned barcode is sent like an usual keyboard input.
There can be just one active application using the barcode scanner. If you are running DataWedge, you would need to stop it before starting any other application with built-in scanner drivers.
To stop DataWedge just click on the barcode icon in a right down corner and select - Disable DataWedge

Yes, DataWedge should work with this scanner. You can download the latest version here.

To install DataWedge so that it is launched automatically after a cold boot, do the following:

1. Unzip the DataWedge download package into a temporary folder on your PC
2. If installing on a Pocket PC device, copy "BinPPCDataWedge.exe" from your PC to the Application folder on the device
3. If installing on a Windows CE device, copy "BinWCEDataWedge.exe" from your PC to the Application folder on the device
4. Copy "ApplicationDataWedge.cpy" from your PC to the Application folder on the device
5. Copy "ApplicationStartupDataWedge.run" from your PC to the ApplicationStartup folder on the device
6. Cold boot the device (turn off fully, turn on)

no, datawedge does not block the camera on the mc55, but you will need to load the camera file from support.symbol.com

if you need additional information please let me know,

The camera and scanner on the MC55xx share the same interrupt. While Datawedge 3.x is running, it has control of both devices and causes the behavior you're seeing. If you stop Datawedge before starting up the camera app (for example), it'll work just fine.

Why Motorola thought interrupt sharing for two commonly used hardware devices is a good idea, I'll never know.
