Article ID: 29859536

Issue / Question

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
