OEMConfig

Overview

Datalogic-specific settings, such as scanner, keyboard, power, and system settings, are configured through Datalogic OEMConfig. Add the OEMConfig app from managed Google Play in your MDM, then create a managed configuration for it and assign it to your devices.

For a description of every available setting, see the OEMConfig settings reference, starting with Scanner Settings. To compare OEMConfig with the other ways of configuring devices, see Configuration.

Before you begin

• Enroll the devices as fully managed (device owner) devices. See Enrollment.
