Required setting:
Using voice input requires the <asrenabled> tag in the EB app's Config.xml file to be configured as follows:
<asrenabled value="1"/>
Keyboard Input
Mapping a keyboard to a field invokes a custom key layout when the field gains focus. Layouts available for selection include only those created with Zebra's Enterprise Keyboard Designer tool. The function also can be configured to cause a key layout to be hidden (disabled), if desired.
Click image to enlarge; ESC to exit.
Required setting:
Use of the keyboard input setting requires the following:
- Zebra Enterprise Keyboard 3.1.1.9 (or later) must be present on the device and set as the default keyboard.
- A valid
Layouts.zipfile must be present in the/enterprise/device/settings/ekb/config/folder on the device.
Voice Output
Mapping voice output to a field causes data in that field to be spoken aloud by the device.
Parameters:
Voice text - words input into this field are spoken to the device user when the field receives focus. For example, if a field were mapped to the scanner for input and to voice output, this prompt might read "This field speaks aloud any data acquired by the scanner."
Pitch - sets the pitch for text-to-speech output in a scalar range with a starting (default) value of 1.0 (normal pitch). Greater values increase the pitch of the synthesized voice, lesser values decrease it. Accepts float values only.
Volume - sets the volume level for text-to-speech output in a scalar range between 0.0 (off) and 1.0 (full). Accepts float values only.
Rate - sets the speed for synthesized speech output in a scalar range with a starting (default) value of 1.0 (normal speech rate). A value of 2.0 doubles speed, a value of 0.5 cuts the speed in half. Accepts float values only.
Language - sets the language for text-to-speech input and synthesized output. If no language is specified, the TTS engine attempts to match the language to the Locale currently selected in the device. This field accepts any of the predefined Locale codes.

Required setting:
Use of voice output requires the <ttsenabled> tag in the EB app's Config.xml file to be configured as follows:
<ttsenabled value="1"/>
Data Formatting
This parameter allows special characters to be appended to acquired data, generally used for advancing the cursor or submitting acquired data for further processing. For example, selecting "Auto Tab" causes the cursor to move to the next field after acquired data is populated into the current field.
Auto Enter - inserts the ENTER character at the end of acquired data.
Auto Tab - inserts the TAB character at the end of acquired data.
NOTE: This feature can be selected only when the field is mapped to Scanner Input or Voice Input.

Printer Output
Zebra recommends mapping printers only to buttons. Printer mapping supports printers connected through Bluetooth (via Bluetooth MAC address), Wi-Fi (via IP address) and USB. Regardless of connection method, the printer MUST be connected to the device before a printer-mapped button is tapped by the device user.

Parameters:
Printer - drop-down for selecting Bluetooth, USB or Wi-Fi printer type.
IP/MAC - used to set the printer's IP address for Wi-Fi a printer or MAC address for Bluetooth, as applicable.
ZPL Script - used to enter Zebra Programming Language commands. An example script is shown below.
Example ZPL Script:
'^XA^FO20,20^AD^FD'+document.getElementById('yourId').value+'^XZ'
The middle section of the sample ZPL script shown above (document.getElementById('yourId')) gets the value from the text field dynamically.
Printer Notes:
- If mapping a Wi-Fi printer, the printer's IP address must be specified.
- If mapping a Bluetooth printer, the printer's Bluetooth MAC address must be specified.
- To add or edit a mapping for a button, double-tap the button to select it; single-tapping executes the button's function(s).
- Zebra recommends against mapping I/O functions to buttons used for navigation; results are unpredictable.
- Scripts must contain only single quotes (‘) and adhere to all other ZPL guidelines.
- For complete information, refer to the ZPL Programming Guide (.pdf).
Indicator Settings
When EAC is running in "training mode" on the device, an indicator is displayed in the EB application window (see below). The appearance and position of the indicator icon can be controlled by tags within the <appConfigEnabled value=""/> tag of the app's Config.xml file.
Click image to enlarge; ESC to exit.
Parameters:
appConfigEnabled - controls whether the indicator is On or Off:
- 1 - Indicator shown, position settings applied
- 2 - Indicator hidden, position settings ignored
indicatorLeft - sets horizontal position of the left edge, (in pixels)
indicatorTop - sets vertical position of the top edge (in pixels)
indicatorHeight - sets indicator height from top to bottom (in pixels)
indicatorWidth - sets indicator width from left edge to right edge (in pixels)
indicatorImage - used to specify indicator image file path and name on device
Example:
<DOMInjectionUtility>
<appConfigEnabled value="1"/>
<indicatorEnabled value="1"/>
<indicatorLeft value="300"/>
<indicatorTop value="200"/>
<indicatorHeight value="60"/>
<indicatorWidth value="90"/>
<indicatorImage value="file://%INSTALLDIR%/myimage.png"/>
