Applicable To

LI3678, DS3678, ET50

Resolution / Answer

On the ET50, A Bluetooth scanner connected as a keyboard will set the on-screen keyboard to hide. Similar if you connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the tablet, this usually is the expected behavior. After pairing the scanner, configure the on-screen keyboard to not hide.

You can get the SIP Keyboard to work simultaneously with external HID scanner by changing the following OS settings:

On your device:

1. Go to the Android Settings 
2. Go to Language & Input 
3. Click on “Current Keyboard”; select the item representing the current keyboard
4. There is an option within here that says “Hardware: Show input method” 
   • This is set to OFF by default 
   • Change this to ON
