Purpose
SureMDM administrators may require Zebra devices to support both stylus and finger input automatically. Using the Zebra MX Config feature in SureMDM, administrators can remotely configure the device touch settings to enable the “Stylus and Finger” input mode.
This configuration can be created using StageNow, exported as a JSON/XML configuration, and deployed through a Zebra MX Config job in the SureMDM console.
Prerequisites
- Valid SureMDM account
- Zebra Android device enrolled in SureMDM
- Zebra device supports MX configuration
- Access to the SureMDM console
- Appropriate permissions to create and deploy jobs
Steps
Create a Zebra MX Config Job in SureMDM
- Log in to the SureMDM Console.
- Navigate to:
Jobs → New Job → Android → Zebra MX Config - Enter the job name.
- Upload or paste the XML configuration into the job configuration section.
Use the following XML code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic version=”11.8″ type=”TouchMgr”>
<parm name=”DeviceType” value=”0″ />
<parm name=”TouchActionAny” value=”Stylus and Finger” />
<parm name=”HapticFeedback” value=”Do not change” />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
- Save the Zebra MX Config job.
- Select the target Zebra devices or device group.
- Deploy the job to the devices.
Result
Once the job is successfully executed, the Zebra devices will be configured to accept both stylus and finger touch input automatically.
Conclusion
Using Zebra MX Config in SureMDM allows administrators to automate touch input configuration on Zebra devices efficiently. This simplifies device management by ensuring stylus and finger input support is enabled remotely without requiring manual configuration on each device.
