This guide is intend for customers that have acquired their own Zebra hardware for using in combination with our Entrance Management App, Ticket Scan App or the YTP Scan App. If you own a device under management by CM, this guide does not apply to you.
At this point in time the app does not automatically set up the laser scanner on non-managed devices, therefor the customer has to manually activate the connection with the laser scanner by adding a DataWedge profile.
