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 Pairing Before 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 doesnât prompt Pin code entry menu To pair the KDC with the host, follow these instructions. 1. Select Pairing from the Bluetooth menu. The message âPairing startedâŚâ will displayed. 2. When prompted by the host device, enter the Security PIN â0000â. 3. The âPairing successâ message will display when the Bluetooth connection is successfully established. The connection must be established before the pairing timeout which is 60 seconds. If âPairing failed...â message displays, the Bluetooth connection with the host device failed. If the message âConnectedâ displays, a Bluetooth connection was established. It is possible for the message âPairing failed...â to display on the KDC while the host device displays âConnectedâ message. If this occurs, a Bluetooth connection is established. 4.15 Discovering KDC200/250/300 start to search neighboring Bluetooth device if this Discovering menu is executed. It would take about 30 seconds to finish search and lists available neighboring Bluetooth devices. Use may enter corresponding Bluetooth MAC address in KTSync Bluetooth menu instead of searching neighborhood Bluetooth devices. 46 KDC250 User Manual 4.16 Connect To This option lets you easily connect KDC to Bluetooth devices either previously registered in KTSync under the File Menu or discovered/connected from KDC Bluetooth Service menu [Note] There could be an interoperability issue depending on corresponding device Bluetooth stack. Master Bluetooth device may request to follow master Bluetooth device security procedure if KDC tries to connect to the master Bluetooth device. 4.17 HID Sync User can synchronize stored barcode data over HID using HID Sync option. KDC starts to transmit all stored barcode data upon executing HID Sync option. 47 KDC250 User Manual 5. GPS - KDC250 The KDC250 supports the GPS feature.

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. A.1 Symbologies KoamTacâs KDC products support most major barcode symbologies including 1D, 2D, Postal, and OCRFonts. Below is a list of the barcode symbologies supported by the KDC with respect to each models particular area of support. To ensure superior scan performance, remember to select only the required symbologies. KDC100 1D Barcodes 2D Barcodes Postal Barcodes OCR Fonts EAN13, EAN8, UPCA, UPCE, Bookland EAN, EAN13 with Addon, EAN8 with Add-on, UPCA with Add-on, UPCE with Add-on, Interleave 2 of 5, ITF14, Code128, Codabar, GS1128, Code39, Code93, & Code35 N/A N/A N/A KDC200 EAN13, EAN8, UPCA, UPCE, Bookland EAN EAN13 with Add-on, EAN8 with Add-on, UPCA with Add-on, UPCE with Add-on, Interleave 2 of 5, ITF14, Code128, Codabar, GS1128, Code39, Code93, & Code35 KDC300 Codabar, Code11, Code32, Code39, Code128, EAN8, EAN13, GS1-128, I2of5, MSI, Plessey, PosiCode, GS1 DATABAR OMNI, GS1 Limited, GS1 Expanded, S2of5IA, S2of5ID, TLC39, Telepen, Trioptic, UPCA, & UPCE N/A AztecCode, AztecRunes, CodablockF,Code 16K, Code49, DataMatrix, MaxiCode, MicroPDF, PDF417, & QRCode and HanXin Code N/A AusPost, CanadaPost, ChinaPost, JapanPost, KoreaPost, KixPost, Planet Code, Postnet (US), & UKPost N/A OCR-A, OCR-B, OCRUSCurrency, OCRMICRE13B, & OCRSEMIFONT Table 6 - Symbologies Supported by KDC 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 88 KDC250 User Manual 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 â that is, there are no hyphens or separators. Thus, the ISBN 957-630-239-0 is transmitted as 9576302390. 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. Mode Behavior Value of flags EAN13 EAN13withAddon Auto-discrimination If add-on symbol is present, then it is also decoded; otherwise only the EAN-13 symbol is decoded. true true With add-on Only EAN-13 barcodes with 2 or 5 add-on symbol are decoded. false true Without add-on The add-on symbol is ignored. true false Table 7 - Add-on for EAN-13 Symbology 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. Barcode EAN8_as_EAN13 1234567012 EAN8_ReturnCheckDigit EAN13_ReturnCheckDigit True False 123456712 N/A False 00000123456712 false True 000001234567012 N/A true Table 8 - Add-on for EAN-8 Symbology 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 2digit 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. 89 KDC250 User Manual A.2 Code Options 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. Reverse Direction This option may be selected if direction oriented symbologies are selected such as Code35. Symbology Conversion By default the EAN-8, UPCE, and UPCA symbols are transmitted in their native format. It is possible to show them in a different format. You can choose to display UPCE symbols as either UPC-A or EAN-13 symbols, EAN-8 symbols as EAN-13 symbols, or UPC-A symbols as EAN-13 symbols. The following table shows the effect of setting various options. Option EAN-8 UPC-A UPC-E All others EAN8_as_EAN13 UPCA_as_EAN13 Converted to EAN-13 No effect No effect Converted to EAN-13 UPCE_as_EAN13 No effect No effect UPCE_as_UPCA No effect No effect Table 9 - Symbology Conversion 90 No effect No effect No Converted to EAN-13 Converted to UPC-A effect KDC250 User Manual Verification of Optional âCheck Digitâ Code39 and Interleave 2 of 5 have an optional check digit, which, by default, is not verified. Their verification can be enabled by selecting the option VerifyCheckDigit to true or you can enable the verification for individual symbologies. If the check digit verification fails then the barcode is not transmitted. Option Selected Verify Code39 check Verify I2of5 check digit digit VerifyCheckDigit Yes Yes Code39_VerifyCheckDigit Yes No effect I2of5_VerifyCheckDigit No effect Yes Table 10 - Verification of Optional "Check Digit" Transmission of âCheck Digitâ By default, the check digit â optional or mandatory â is not transmitted. Its transmission can be enabled for all symbologies by enabling ReturnCheckDigit option. Is the check digit returned? Option Selected EAN- EAN- UPC- UPC- 13 Code39 I2of5 ReturnCheckDigit Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes EAN13_ReturnCheckDigit Yes No effect No effect No effect No effect No effect EAN8_ReturnCheckDigit No effect Yes No effect No effect No effect No effect UPCA_ReturnCheckDigit No effect No effect Yes No effect No effect No effect UPCE_ReturnCheckDigit No effect No effect No effect Yes No effect No effect Code39_ReturnCheckDigit No effect No effect No effect No effect Yes No effect I2of5_ReturnCheckDigit No effect No effect No effect No effect No effect Yes Table 11 - Transmission of "Check Digit" 91 KDC250 User Manual Resolution of Inconsistencies Three types of inconsistencies could arise in the assignment of symbology options. The decoder has predefined 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. Verify Check Return Check Digit Digit Enabled or Disabled Disabled Description Check digit is not verified but is transmitted Enabled Disabled Check digit is verified but is not transmitted Enabled Enabled Check digit is verified and is transmitted Table 12 - Resolution of Inconsistencies 92 KDC250 User Manual A.3 Miscellaneous Barcode Information 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. 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. 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. 93 KDC250 User Manual 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 81,920/19 =4,311. If different length barcodes are mixed, then you cannot compute the maximum number of barcodes that can be stored. 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. 94 KDC250 User Manual Appendix B â FAQ B.1 Symbology Q: What barcode symbologies are supported by the KDC200?
