2. Installation
Bluetooth Pairing 2.1
KDC itself reads barcodes independently, and it can also be used in combination with PC,
PDA, or smart phones. When you want to read barcodes with KDC in connection with
other devices, you need to conduct pairing between your KDC and smart phone via
Bluetooth first. Unless there are changes in Bluetooth settings, your smart phone will
always recognize your KDC that has already been paired. However, if you change
Bluetooth settings, you need to go through pairing process for your KDC again. You can
also refer to Chapter 4. BLUETOOTH for more information about Bluetooth pairing.
2.1.1 Preparing for Pairing
1. Turn on the power first if you are a KDC20 user.
2. Set a Bluetooth device type mode. There are two ways to set a Bluetooth device
type mode.

you are using Bluetooth with your KDC, this option should be set to Disable.
IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary power problems, it is strongly recommended that
the POWER option be set to Disable if the KDC is idle for an extended period of time.
4.2.2 Pairing
Before you are able to use Bluetooth, the KDC must be paired with the host device. This
pairing process only needs to be completed once with each host device. After pairing, the
host device will always recognize the KDC as a Bluetooth device unless the Bluetooth
configuration is modified. If it is modified, you may need to pair the devices again.
IMPORTANT: The host device must be configured for Bluetooth before it can be paired
to the KDC.
Note:
KDC with Bluetooth Spec2.1+EDR doesn’t prompt Pin code entry menu.
To pair the KDC with the host, follow these instructions.
1. Select Pairing from the Bluetooth menu. The message “Pairing started…”
will displayed.
2. When prompted by the host device, enter the Security PIN “0000”.
3. The “Pairing success” message will display when the Bluetooth connection
is successfully established. The connection must be established before the
pairing timeout which is 60 seconds.

5.4.1 Select Symbologies and Symbology Options
The process for scanning and reading barcodes is delicate and complicated. Although
your KDC is equipped with a high performance scan engine, if configured incorrectly it
may not perform at its peak performance level. To ensure its high performance, the KDC
comes configured to optimize its scan engine technology. Unless you clearly understand
the impact of your changes to the KDC settings, please do not change factory default
settings. Please refer to Appendix A for details. Pressing the Default icon will reset all
symbology related options to factory default settings.
5.4.2 Data Editing Option
Prefix
- Allows you to add a prefix to scanned data which can then be stored in KDC or
wedged to the host. The Prefix format must be defined in the data format menu of
KTSync. The maximum length for a Prefix is 11 characters.
Note:
This Prefix option is different from the Prefix option in KTSync which
appends the prefix to data during synchronization.
Suffix
- Allows you to add a suffix to scanned data which can then be stored in KDC or
wedged to the host. The Suffix must be defined in the data format menu of KTSync. The
maximum length for a Suffix is 11 characters.
Note:
This Suffix option is different from the Suffix option in KTSync which
appends the suffix to data during synchronization.
AIM ID
- Allows you to add AIM ID to scanned data which can then be stored in KDC or
wedged to the host. AIM ID must be defined in data format menu of KTSync. AIM ID is
either added to the end of Prefix or Suffix.

9.1.1 Bookland EAN vs. EAN-13
Bookland EAN, which includes ISBN, ISSN, and ISMN, is supported by the KDC. This group
of symbologies is essentially an EAN-13 barcode with fixed prefixes; 977 for ISSN, 978 for
ISBN, and 979 for ISMN. If EAN-13 and Bookland EAN are both enabled, Bookland EAN
takes precedence. Bookland EAN does not have any options. The Bookland EAN barcode
does not contain any groupings – that is, there are no hyphens or separators. Thus, the
ISBN 957-630-239-0 is transmitted as 9576302390.
9.1.2 Add-on Symbologies
By default, the 2 or 5 digit add-on symbols with a UPCE, UPCA, EAN-8, and EAN-13
barcode is neither decoded nor transmitted. Transmission for these specific symbologies
is enabled by setting the appropriate
withAddon
options. There are 4
withAddon
options, one for each symbology:
UPCEwithAddon
UPCAwithAddon
EAN8withAddon
EAN13withAddon
The decoding of add-on symbols is typified by the following table, which explains the
process for EAN-13 symbols.

If add-on symbol is present, then it is

Only EAN-13 barcodes with 2 or 5 add-
on symbol are decoded.
false

Without add-on
The add-on symbol is ignored.

The add-on symbol is appended to the EAN-13 barcode. The process is similar for UPCE,
UPCA, and EAN-8 barcodes. Note that all the UPCE, UPCA, EAN-8, and EAN-13

formatting and conversion options are in effect. The following table should help explain
the effect of various options for EAN-8 barcode 12345670 + 12.

True
N/A
false
000001234567012
true
The add-on symbol neither contains check digit nor a terminating guard band. Every
effort has been made to reduce the decoding error; however, it is likely to decode a
partial scan of a 5-digit add-on symbol as a 2-digit add-on symbol. It is strongly
recommended that the minimum security level is set at 2 while decoding add-on symbols.
Since the decoder takes a conservative view on the add-on symbols, it is likely that the
add-on symbol will be missed in the auto-discrimination mode. Auto-discrimination
mode should then be avoided.
Code Options 9.2
The KDC supports the following barcode options:
Transmission of start and stop characters
Reverse direction
Symbology conversion
Verification of optional check character
Transmission of check digit
Transmission of Start and Stop Characters
For Codabar symbols you can choose not to transmit the start and stop symbols, the
NOTIS Editing. By default, they are transmitted. Setting the field
CodaBar_NoStartStopChars to true disables the transmission.
9.2.1 Reverse Direction
This option may be selected if direction oriented symbologies are selected such as
Code35.

possible to show them in a different format. You can choose to display UPCE symbols as either

VerifyCheckDigit to true or you can enable the verification for individual
symbologies. If the check digit verification fails then the barcode is not

9.2.5 Resolution of Inconsistencies
Three types of inconsistencies could arise in the assignment of symbology options. The
decoder has pre-defined strategies to resolve these inconsistencies: If UPCE_as_EAN13
is true, then UPCE_as_UPCA is ignored.
If symbology conversion is selected but the target symbology is not enabled, then the
decoder still outputs the symbol in the target symbology. For example, suppose UPC-E
is enabled and UPCE_as_EAN13 is true but EAN-13 is disabled. All UPC-E symbols will
be shown as EAN-13 and EAN-13 options (if specified) will be applied. For the two
symbologies that have optional check digits, Code39 and Interleave 2 of 5, the decoder
will always transmit the check digit if the verification is disabled.

Miscellaneous Barcode Information 9.3
9.3.1 Height of a Linear Barcode
Industry standards suggest a height of either 6.5mm or 15% of the symbol length,
whichever is greater. Symbols of less than recommended heights may cause recognition
problems.
9.3.2 Check Characters
Yes, we recommend the use of check-characters in barcodes. Operating without check-
characters is not safe and will lead to errors that are costly to correct. Using check-
characters positively affects data integrity especially when character density is at the
limits and/or image quality is not at its best.
9.3.3 Prevent Interleave 2 of 5 Partial Reading
A partial scan of an Interleave 2 of 5 symbol may decode and cause incorrect data to be
read. To prevent partial scans on long symbols, you should include bearer bars. These
are bars that run along the top and bottom edges of the barcode in the scanning
direction. If a partial scan of the barcode occurs, the scanning beam will hit the bearer
bar and will not decode. The bearer bar must touch the top and bottom of all the bars
and must be at least 3 times as wide.
Another solution for the short scanning problem is to fix all Interleave 2 of 5 symbols to a
set number of digits. Zeros can be used to pad the data to the set number of digits. The
application program would then be set to only accept scans of the correct number of
digits.
Finally, a check digit may be used. The Interleave 2 of 5 symbology has an optional check
character which uses a weighted Modulo 10 scheme. The check character is the last
character in the symbol and should be checked by the decoder and then transmitted
with the data. Since Interleave 2 of 5 must always have an even number of digits, the
leftmost character may need to be a zero when the check character is added. The
standard check digit is calculated by assigning alternating 3,1,3,1… weights to respective
data digits. These weights are then multiplied by their respective data digits and the
products are summed. The check digit is the digit needed to be added to the sum to
make it an even multiple of 10. An example would be if the sum of the products was 37,
then the check digit would be 3.

9.3.4 Equation to Determining Potential Number of Stored
Barcodes
The number of barcodes that can be stored in the KDC memory depends on the size of
the barcodes.
Example: If only UPCA barcodes are scanned and the check digit is not transmitted,
then each barcode takes up 11 (barcode data) + 2 (added bytes) + 2 (length and type) +
4 (time stamp) = 19 bytes. The maximum number of UPCA barcodes that can be saved is
204,800/19 =10,778. However, KDC has limited the maximum number of barcode as
10,240 and users can't store more than 10,240 barcodes in 2.85/86 version. 3.0x version
allows user to store maximum 204,800 barcodes.
9.3.5 Data Buffer Full
When the data buffer is full, the KDC displays a message, Buffer Full, ignoring any
command to scan barcodes. You must reset the data buffer to continue data collection.
