Programmatically control your scanner to handle any business need. Set the beeper, LEDs and vibration feedback mechanisms to confirm accurate scanning. Configure scanners to capture images and only those symbologies you want. Minimize downtime with visibility into critical data, like cordless battery health, and simplify management with remote tools that let you upgrade firmware and query asset information.

Scanner SDK for Windows

Develop Scanner Applications for Windows Faster

Today's scanner applications need to do more than just handle barcode data. They need to support the capturing of images, set parameters, upgrade firmware and more. Advanced users may need to support multiple applications running on one PC, communicating with more than one scanner. The Scanner SDK for Windows meets and exceeds these needs. This "technology-agnostic" toolkit is compatible with multiple programming languages, multiple development environments and multiple communications protocols. No matter what scanners you have today, or what you may purchase tomorrow, you can develop and deploy applications faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Control LEDs, Beeper and Vibration Feedback
Control LEDs, Beeper and Vibration Feedback

Configure the three types of feedback indicators in Zebra cordless scanners to meet the needs of your specific environment. A busy retail store may enable the beeper and LED lights, while a hospital may choose to disable the beeper so sleeping patients aren’t disturbed.

Automatically Reconnect Scanner and Device
Automatically Reconnect Scanner and Device

Do you lose your connection when the scanner is carried out of Bluetooth range from your tablet or smartphone? No problem! When the scanner is back in range, it will automatically reconnect to the right device.
