Resolution / Answer
VC8300 connecting serially to a DS3608 scanner using DataWedge Intent for the Velocity Client.
An Intent will be used so data being scanned in will be treated as Scanned Data, not Keyed Data.
On the VC8300, you will do the following in DataWedge
Open DataWedge so you can see the Profiles:
Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.
Select New Profile:
Enter a name for the new Profile. You can use Velocity if you like:
You list will now show the new Profile you created:
Select your newly created Profile from the list.
Select Associated apps:
Select the three dots in the upper right corner to select New app/activity:
Select com.wavelink.velocity, then select the asterisk * from the list that is shown. On older devices you might need to manually type out com.wavelink.velocity.*
Click the back button, then scroll down until you see Keystroke output (this will be Enabled). Uncheck the box.
Your result should look like this:
Scroll down until you see Intent output Enabled option.
Check the box so this is Enabled:
Tap on Intent action
Set the Intent action to: com.wavelink.intent.action.BARCODE
(this is case sensitive)
Select OK
Tap on Intent category
Set the Intent category to: android.intent.category.DEFAULT
(this is case sensitive)
Select OK
Tap on Intent delivery
Select Broadcast intent
Back out of DataWedge to save your changes.

Velocity Console
Inside Velocity, make sure you have created a Project that does NOT include the Ivanti Scan Driver.
Save your Project and create your .wldep by selecting Deploy:
Your file will be saved with a .wldep extension.
Transfer this to your Android device and then launch Velocity to test.
