This page will cover how to setup a Zebra DS2278 Bluetooth Barcode Scanner to work with iSoft products on mobile devices.

Approx Cost: $190-$280 depending on accessories and support
Important Features: Bluetooth, 14 hour+ battery life, 5ft drop, 36 month warranty, 123Scan app, SDKs for iOS, Android, Windows

The fastest way to get started is to scan the appropriate barcode for your device type. **Make sure your device is fully charged!
This model of scanner can scan from a high resolution monitor or screen
Each of the barcodes below will change the defaults on your scanner. You will need to "forget" or "remove" the device in your Bluetooth settings and reconnect
The below barcodes have the following settings: Prefix : Suffix $, HID features for iOS, Host: HID BT Classic

You first need to install the Zebra iOS app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zebra-scanner-control/id1034012069
Open that app and go to Connection Help > Pair DS2278

Follow the onscreen instructions
Go back to the main screen and choose Connect
Tap on the DS2278 and choose Disconnect(this will disconnect it from the Zebra app so we can connect it to the ITrack LX app)

Go to the ITrack LX app and after a few seconds you should hear a connection beep from the scanner. Scanning in the ITrack LX app with the DS2278 should now work.

The charging circuit on the scanner is capable of using as much current as possible based on the power source
Preferred Method: use a BC1.2 Compliant Micro USB adapter to a wall outlet (higher current charging capability above 900 mA)
