You can use Checkin Lite on the Zebra TC26 DataWedge scanner as with any regular Android smartphone, by using the camera to scan codes on the badges, or you can enable its built-in scanner and scan badges by pressing any of the two side-buttons. See Check-in Lite for more details.

To enable the optical scanner use instead of the camera, go to Settings > Scanner mode in the Check-in Lite menu of the scanner, and select Use keyboard input.
