Scan Wedge App
The XG4 also comes preloaded with the
Scan Wedge
application. When active, Scan Wedge runs in
the background and can send scanned and decoded data directly into the currently active foreground
application. For example, with Scan Wedge active, the XG4 can be used to scan barcode data directly
into a Microsoft Word or Excel template, or any other app that accepts input data.
To activate
Scan Wedge
, go to
Scan Settings
and toggle the on/off switch to on. Under
Basic
you

Auto Scan
, set the
Auto Scan Interval
in intervals between 0.25 and 10 seconds, or

barcode ID
, an
AIM ID
,
as well as a
Group Separator

some formatting to the scans, or bring them into a format suitable for subsequent processing. You
