IMPORTANT: SwipeTrack Browser Classic is our legacy LTS version of SwipeTrack Browser that is meant for customers who encounter compatibility issues when upgrading to SwipeTrack Browser v6. New customers should use SwipeTrack Browser v6. ------------------- SwipeTrack Browser is the only fully-featured application built specifically for integration of commercial grade hardware into custom web applications. Built as a business-grade replacement for the default iOS browser, SwipeTrack Browser allows you to scan barcodes and swipe cards directly into any website. The application works as a secure and stable “wrapper” for your web application, making your custom business application feel like a native iOS application. SwipeTrack Browser works by converting the “raw” barcode images and magnetic card data into easily readable data and then passing that data to your web application. The browser is built with businesses in mind. Used worldwide by distribution centers, museum collections, in-house ticketing applications, car rental agencies, large political campaigns, and non-profits (to name a few), the browser is packed with features that allow you to leverage the full power of hardware integration. Adding support to your web application is easy and if you ever run into any trouble, our helpful support team is standing by to assist with any issues you may have. **Hardware Supported** •IPC Linea Pro 4, 5, & 6 •IPC Infinea Tab 2, 4, & M •IPC Infinea X •IPC DPP Series Bluetooth Printers •Socket Mobile 7 & 8 Series •Honeywell Captuvo SL22 & SL42 •StarMicronics SM-220i, SM-T300i, & SM-T400i Bluetooth Printers •StarMicronics TSP Series Bluetooth & LAN Printers •StarMicronics DK-AirCash •BlueBamboo P25i & P25i-M •AirPrint Compatible Printers **Features** •Easy and well documented API for integration into any Web-Application or Website •Direct Mode allows you to use your scanner on ANY web page •miFare RFID support on RFID-capable devices •Delimiter support allows you to add separators after every scan when using direct mode •Full built-in browser with HTTPS and Secure Auth support and separate settings to hide the Address Bar and the Navigation Bar •AES and DUKPT Encrypted Magnetic Head Support •Every aspect of the app is customizable via Javascript callbacks •OTA Firmware Updates •Built-in Signature Capture •Airprint Support •Embedded Error, Success, and Notification sounds for no-load notifications •Custom browser User Agent •Ability to fire scan laser through your web application •Unique device ID passed with every Javascript call •Multi-scan enabled - Leave your laser without pressing the button, allowing you to easily scan hundreds of barcodes •Ability to modify all settings, including the home page, address bar and navigation bar, through web-applications •Ability to choose how long credentials are stored in a keychain and reset the application on sleep •Ability to launch app via link from outside the application •Support for 2D/QR barcode scanning through the built-in camera (iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch 4, and iPad 2/New iPad only) •Automatically detects credit card swipes and separates the data fields (Linea Pro & Infinea Tab only) •Setting to enable the sled battery to charge your device (Linea Pro & Infinea Tab only) •Setting to enable 2Amp charging on supported chargers •Automatic 2D Scanner Power Management allows you to keep the scanner engine on so there is no delay between scans •Ability to disable device sleep while app is open ...................................................... .. .. ..

Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser is the ultimate software platform made to empower enterprise data capture accessories such as sleds that incorporate 1D and 2D barcode scanners and/or magnetic strip readers (MSR), printers, NFC devices, and other Apple iOS compatible devices. The App integrates the powerful WebKit based browser engine for compatibility, speed, and features. Instead of requiring dedicated and proprietary software to automate barcode, credit card, and other data entry into iOS, Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser will automatically transcribe the data into a text field of a web page or web-based app; whether designed specifically for data entry or simply a generic web form! For more advanced users Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser also offers a full HTML/JavaScript development platform that gives developers the ability to make and receive API calls via JavaScript functions. The ability to control third party hardware, manage native app parameters, and process data without user intervention are just some of the features of the HTML/JavaScript platform. Unique to this platform is the ability to parse United States and Canadian Driver's Licenses and Military ID's using IDscan.net directly within the browser itself (a separate license from IDscan.net is required). The Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser showcases many new features in addition to an improved Settings Page that gives the user complete control over all aspects of the App and its operation, the ability to set the default homepage, customize the buttons/colors/operation, and control how the scan and MSR data is processed, and additional new features including: • Auto-start Decoder • Automatically Clear Cache (and optionally redirect home) • Start / stop battery levels for charging from supported sleds • Software decoding • And much more! The customers that utilize the Dryrain Technologies Enterprise Browser include: - Users of devices that do not have (or have a poorly implemented) "keyboard wedge mode" - Customers who have a mixed rollout of devices (different iOS products, iOS sleds, and 3rd party MFi accessories) can use our single App, single icon, single interface, and single experience across all supported hardware - Developers who utilize our API's do not need to worry about adding or changing any code to add support for new hardware - we abstract all supported devices to work the same via our Javascript API's - Users who want to perform advanced keyboard wedge features such as: • Automatically find the proper field(s) to populate without having to tap each time • Automatically jump to the next field (and control which fields to honor for this feature) • Save on number of screen taps (no need to tap on the field, scan, tap next field, scan, tap to submit, etc) • Intelligent form fill and submit • Built-in character suppression • Built-in prefixes and suffixes Supported hardware includes: • Honeywell Captuvo SL22/SL42/SL62 product line (All models) • Honeywell 1602 MFi Bluetooth scanner • Infinite Peripherals Linea Pro line • Infinite Peripherals Infinea line (Infinea X, Infinea Tab, Infinea Tab M) • Infinite Peripherals Imperea • Cognex MX-1000/1502 • STAR SM and SMT series printers Perfect for retail, healthcare, warehouse, field sales, field service, transportation, logistics, hospitality and entertainment industries. As with all apps developed by Dryrain Technologies, this software is backed by superior support services. Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser requires the hardware to be licensed.
