Zebra Disable NFC via XML Guide

This guide explains how to disable NFC functionality on Zebra devices using Springdel’s File Sync feature with a Zebra XML profile.

Note: This method works for any Zebra StageNow XML generated by Zebra StageNow.



Key Benefits

  • Automated NFC Control – Disable NFC across multiple Zebra devices without manual configuration.
  • StageNow Compatibility – Works with any StageNow XML generated by Zebra StageNow.
  • Reduced Manual Effort – Eliminate the need for on-device configuration changes.


Step 1 - Upload the XML File

  1. Upload the provided NFC configuration XML file to your File System in the Springdel console.
  2. Ensure the file appears in your file list and is accessible.


Step 2 - Create or Edit a Profile

  1. Create a new profile or open an existing profile that you want to use for NFC control.


Step 3 - Add the XML to File Sync

  1. Within your selected profile, navigate to the File Sync section.
  2. Drag and drop the uploaded XML file into the Selected Files area.
  3. Configure the following parameters:

Setting Value
Device Folder Name /sdcard/Download/
Custom Intent Zebra ImportProfilePath:/sdcard/Download/zebradisablenfc.xml

 



Step 4 - Associate the Profile

  1. Once your profile is configured with the desired file sync configuration, associate the profile with the target fleet.
  2. Once associated, the file sync configuration will be deployed on all devices in that fleet according to the profile settings.


Step 5 - Verify NFC Is Disabled

  1. Confirm that each device has successfully downloaded the XML file.
  2. Check the device’s settings to ensure NFC functionality is now disabled as intended.


Best Practices and Tips

  • Test Before Wide Deployment – Apply the configuration to a small set of devices first to ensure it works as intended.
  • Keep XML Files Updated – Update your XML configuration files to match Zebra’s latest recommendations.
  • Verify Paths and Intents – Ensure the file path and intent match exactly; even small differences can cause the configuration to fail.
