Also here's a code snippet from our app.

 

@Throws(ScannerException::class)
private fun initializeScanner() {
    if (zebraScanner == null) {
        isStarting = true

        // Get the Barcode Manager object
        barcodeManager = emdkListener.manager?.getInstance(EMDKManager.FEATURE_TYPE.BARCODE) as BarcodeManager

        // Get default scanner defined on the device
        zebraScanner = barcodeManager?.getDevice(BarcodeManager.DeviceIdentifier.DEFAULT)

        // Add data and status listeners
        zebraScanner?.addDataListener(dataListener)
        zebraScanner?.addStatusListener(statusListener)

        // Hard trigger. When this mode is set, the user has to manually
        // press the trigger on the device after issuing the read call.
        zebraScanner?.triggerType = ZebraScanner.TriggerType.HARD

        // Enable the scanner
        zebraScanner?.enable()

        val config = zebraScanner?.config
        config?.decoderParams?.i2of5?.enabled = true
        zebraScanner?.config = config

        // Starts an asynchronous Scan. The method will not turn ON the
        // scanner. It will, however, put the scanner in a state in which
        // the scanner can be turned ON either by pressing a hardware
        // trigger or can be turned ON automatically.
        zebraScanner?.read()
    }
    isStarting = false
    shouldCancelStart = false
