![KDC250 User Manual 34 the KDC will read a barcode. Security Level is set from 1 up to 4. The higher security level means more reliable readings though some performance degradation is likely. For poor quality barcodes, we recommend increasing the security level. The default is 2. zAuto Trigger: Allows users to scan a barcode automatically once Auto Trigger is enabled and USB cable is connected. User can adjust Reread delay from Continuous to Extra Long. Auto Trigger mode always enables duplicate check option. zPartial Display: Allows you to display partial data. User defines the start position and number of characters to be displayed. Data Process Menu Wedge/Store - The KDC provides five modes of data transmission in keyboard wedging mode. zWedge Only: Barcode data is NOT stored in memory but transmitted to the host. zWedge & Store Only: Barcode data is stored in memory and transmitted to the host. zStore Only: Barcode data is stored in memory but NOT transmitted to the host. zSave if Sent: If data transmission is successful, barcode data is stored in memory. zSave if Not Sent: If data transmission is NOT successful, barcode data is stored in memory. Data Format - The KDC provides two data formats, Barcode Only and Packet Data. zBarcode Only: KDC transmits scanned barcodes only. User may incorporate proper data transmission error detection and correction mechanism in this mode. KDC supports various termination characters for barcode only format. User can select <NONE>, <CR>, <LF>, <CR+LF> or <TAB> as the termination character. zPacket Data: KDC transmits packet data with checksum to minimize transmission errors. KTSync® sets Data Format to Packet Data format upon execution. User may change Data Format to Barcode only if user prefers to use Barcode only mode but either KTSync program terminates abnormally or user disconnects KDC without exiting KTSync program normally. [Note] Barcode Index: KDC200i/300i add 4 bytes barcode index to support maintaining last synchronized barcode information. This optional index would be added if data format is “Packet Data” and (1) 4 bytes index would be added before “@” when responding to “p” command (2) 4 bytes index plus “@” character would be added after checksum byte if user scan a barcode and wedging to the host](https://usermanual.wiki/AISOLUTION/KDC250/User-Guide-1509689-Page-36.png)
![KDC250 User Manual 43 4. BLUETOOTH - KDC200/250/300The KDC200/250/300 support HID (Human Interface Device) and SPP (Serial Port Profile).

![KDC250 User Manual 46 Bluetooth Service 4.13 PowerThe POWER option allows you to Enable or Disable the Bluetooth functionality of the KDC. To use Bluetooth, this option must be set to Enable. However, like all devices enabled for Bluetooth, the KDC will search constantly to connect with a Bluetooth host when set to enable. Constant searching uses battery power.Unless 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. 4.14 PairingBefore you are able to use Bluetooth, the KDC must be paired with the host device. This paring 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. zIf “Pairing failed...” message displays, the Bluetooth connection with the host device failed. If the message “Connected” displays, a Bluetooth connection was established. zIt is possible for the message “Pairing failed...” to display on the KDC while the host device displays “Connected” message. If this occurs, a Bluetooth connection is established. 4.15 DiscoveringKDC200/250/300 start to search neighboring Bluetooth device if this Discovering menu is executed.
