Connecting Zebra Bluetooth Scanners for WithoutWire Mobile


WithoutWire Mobile supports several handheld Bluetooth scanners, including Zebra devices. Below, you will find more information about the currently compatible devices and the steps to establish connections based on your mobile platform.


NOTE: Some brands may require scanning barcodes as part of the setup process. In certain cases, specific parameters need to be generated for your mobile device. It's important to note that if your host device has a highly reflective screen, it may cause issues during the setup phase. Please take this into consideration when determining the manufacturer and connection method that best suits your needs.


If you have any questions regarding compatibility, feel free to reach out to the WithoutWire support team. For device-specific issues, please refer to the scanner manufacturer's support or troubleshooting resources.
