Configuring Datalogic Memor & DL-Axist for AmberPOS

This article outlines the steps required to configure Datalogic Memor and DL-Axist handheld scanners to work seamlessly with AmberPOS, including barcode scanning, data transfer, and application setup.
 

 

 

 

1. SoftSpot Scanning Configuration (DL-Axist)

• Open the SoftSpot app from the app drawer.
• Enable Swipe to Hide to allow minimizing the app.
• Use the floating icon to initiate barcode scans.

2. Scanner Settings

• Navigate to Settings > Scanner Settings.
• Enable Keyboard Wedge under the Wedge section.
• This ensures scanned data populates into AmberPOS fields.
• Disable Intent Wedge (not required for AmberPOS).

3. Enable Symbology Checksum

• To ensure full barcode data (including check digits) is captured:
• Go to Scanner Settings > Symbology Settings.
• For UPC-A:
• Enable Leading Digit and Check Digit.

For EAN-13:

• Enable Checksum.

4. Connect Scanner to PC

• Use a cradle or USB cable.
• Swipe down from the top of the screen.
• Tap the USB notification and select Media Device (MTP) to allow file transfer.

AmberPOS Integration
5. Install 123Count App

• When uploading SKU data from AmberPOS, the 123Count APK is pushed to the scanner.
• If automatic installation fails:
  • Manually copy com.amberpos.inventorycount-Signed.apk from:
    • C:\Program Files\Pacific Amber\AmberPOS (32-bit)
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Pacific Amber\AmberPOS (64-bit)

 

• Paste into the scanner’s Internal Storage.
• Use a file explorer on the device to install the APK.

6. Scan Input Optimization

If scans are not registering in AmberPOS:

• Go to Wedge Settings.
• Change Keyboard Wedge Input Mode to Key Pressure.
• This simulates physical key input and improves compatibility.

Additional Tips

• Always test scanning functionality after setup.
• Use AmberPOS’s Inventory Count or Purchase Orders modules to manage scanner integration.
• If USB connection issues occur, try different ports or cables, and remove conflicting devices from Windows Device Manager.
