Purpose
The Purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions about how to configure the Zebra TC25 Android Barcode Scanner for use with our SMARTScan Tools.
Instructions
This section will provide instructions for each configuration item that has to be addressed in the TC25 so that it will work properly with the SMARTScan Tools
Changing the Display Size Setting:
The first item that has to be addressed is the screen resolution. The default configuration for the device is to use a 320 pixel wide screen. The Display settings need to be changed from large to small in order for the SMARTScan Tools to fit properly on the device’s screen:
You will need to swipe up on the “carat” character between the desktop icons and the lower row of icons to go to the all apps screen.
You will need to scroll through the list to find the settings icon:
Scroll down in the Settings until you see the “Display” settings option:
Scroll in the display options and select “Display Size”. This will initially report “Large” under Display size:
Change the display size setting from Large (Default) to Small by moving the slider from right to left:
- This completes the display size setting section of this document.
