Retreive CS6080 barcode from a PWA web app on any mobile device

We are trying to figure out the best way to do this:

  • a CS6080 barcode scanner device is connected to a mobile device using bluetooth. This could be any Android or iOS mobile device.
  • a web navigator (e.g. Chrome) on the mobile device is used to load a URL and install a web application (PWA) on that mobile device
  • The CS6080 is used to scan a barcode
  • What are the different ways that the web app could simply retrieve that barcode?

Note that we want to avoid having to create a native mobile application, we only want to install the PWA, which is platform independent. A native Zebra application could be installed though, if it can act as some sort of bridge between the two. Is this feasible?

Thank you

Thats correct . 

There might be some adjustment for HID keyboard features depending on your testing results ( for example your system might require keystroke delay , it might require to disable ALt emulation keypad , it might require funcion key mapping ) 

if thats the case check PRG

You can pair CS6080 as BT HID keyboard and it will act as System keyboard

Are you saying that with this pairing the CS6080 will then send the barcode as a series of characters/keystrokes that our web app can simply capture using a simple JavaScript keypress event handler?

That's great, thanks for these. Indeed I was afraid some keystrokes might be lost or received in the wrong order, but seeing this can be adjusted lifts some of those worries. So it looks like this keyboard emulation approach might be what we need. Thanks again.

As we tread the path of studying abroad, we encounter not only an unknown world and unfamiliar cultures but also numerous learning challenges waiting for us to tackle. In this journey, some 'shortcuts' may catch our attention. For instance, we have heard about online course assistance services, such as https://www.northessay.com/product. This approach has piqued the interest of many international students, offering a glimmer of 'hope'—the ability to secure credits while freeing up more time and energy to manage other responsibilities.
