Zebra DS2278
This page will cover how to setup a Zebra DS2278 Bluetooth Barcode Scanner to work with iSoft products on mobile devices.
Scanner Info
- 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
Quick Start Guide
Android using Chrome
- 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
iOS using ITrack LX App
Tip: You do not need to set up this device as a keyboard wedge
1. You first need to install the Zebra iOS app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zebra-scanner-control/id1034012069
2. Open that app and go to Connection Help > Pair DS2278
3. Follow the onscreen instructions
4. Go back to the main screen and choose Connect
5. 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)
6. 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.
Charging the Scanner
- 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)

no Prefix
no Suffix
Wedge as keys = empty input
Enterprise LX Honeywell config info
A global database setting "Scanner Mode (ambleMode,honeywell)" needs to be set to "honeywell"
The current default is ambleMode which may change in the near future. The following query will let you check on the setting. Note: A user has to have logged into an lx app before the default settings are present.
SELECT
`globalsettingvalue`.`settingid`
, `setting`.`location`
, `setting`.`name`
, `globalsettingvalue`.`value`
, `setting`.`defaultvalue`
, `setting`.`scope`
, `setting`.`settingtype`
, `value`=`defaultvalue` AS isdefault
FROM
`globalsettingvalue`
INNER JOIN `setting`
ON (`globalsettingvalue`.`settingid` = `setting`.`settingid`)
WHERE (`setting`.`name` = 'Scanner Mode (ambleMode,honeywell)');
Munbyn
Setting up a Munbyn Scanner
This is for the MUNBYN IPDA081/IPDA086 Mobile Data Terminal: https://pos.munbyn.com/munbyn-ipda081-rfid-handheld-computer/
To set up:
Swipe up to see apps, then tap on "keyboardemulator".
On the "Function" page, make sure "Enable Scanner" is on.
On the "AppSettings" page, turn on "Release key off scan" (if it is not already enabled).
Then scroll down to "Process mode". Make sure it is set to "keyboard input". Under "End mark", none of the options should be checked.
Prefix/preamble and suffix/postamble for the device can be edited under "Data Format". If using a test program that uses prefix/suffix, be sure that the prefix/suffix in the program and in the scanner setting app (keyboardemulator) are the same.
Tera Scanner
To enable the trigger on the Tera scanner handle:
1. Get to the Scanner Config Page.
2. Disable the scanner.
3. Key in 293 on the scanner keypad.
4. Re-enable the scanner.
5. The scanner config page should look like the image above if it's set correctly.
NOTE on ENTERPRISE LX setup
enterpise lx default pre/postable preamble = "126" = "~" postamble = "13" = "Enter"
For munbyn scanner, the postamble/suffix does not allow you to use "Enter" so you need to leave that blank and instead check the box under EndMark that says "Enter"
