Input Plug-ins
An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the ET1.
DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.

Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in

The Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the integrated bar code scanner and
supports different types of bar code readers including laser, imager and internal camera. Raw data read from
the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has
built-in feedback functionality for the bar code scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be
configured according to user requirement.
Process Plug-ins
Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, before
sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.

Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in

The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data
before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
Output Plug-ins
Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the
ET1.

Keystroke Output Plug-in

The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-in to the foreground
applications by emulating keystrokes.

Intent Output Plug-in

The Intent Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to foreground applications
using the Android Intent mechanism.
