Decoding Bar Codes
Once the ring scanner is connected, it is ready to scan bar codes. Applications coded to use the ring scanner and applications
that receive data through the scan wedge feature automatically use the ring scanner (instead of the internal scanner) when it is
connected to the terminal.

When scanning bar codes, place the aimer over the bar code to be read.

Scan Wedging
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as Android keyboard input. By default, scan
wedging is enabled on Dolphin 75e terminals powered by Android. Applications coded to use the ring scanner or applications
that receive data through the scan wedge feature can be used.
Note: If an application claims the ring scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
