Configure KDC
The KDC is designed to meet the data collection requirements of many different industries in a variety of
dynamic situations. To perform well in these diverse environments, the KDC is designed to be
configured easily and quickly. But, to perform at its maximum level, the KDC must be configured
properly. Until you are familiar with configuring the KDC, it is recommended that you DO NOT modify the
KDC settings. The KDC can be configured in three different methods which are explained in Section 3.3
– KDC Menus(KDC100/200/250/300/350 only), Chapter 4 –Synchronization, and Appendix C – Special
Barcodes.

3.2 Basics
Reading Barcodes
Reading a barcode is simple. Point the KDC at a barcode and press the scan button. Be sure to point
the scan engine at the barcode, not at your face, and make sure to position the light beam on the
barcode. If the barcode is scanned successfully, you will hear one beep and the LEDs will illuminate in
green. The scanned barcode data will be displayed along with the scan time and battery level.
Depending on the configuration of your KDC, other information may also be displayed.
If the scan was unsuccessful, you will hear two beeps, the LEDs will illuminate in red, and the message
Failed reading… will display. If you have problems scanning a barcode, try the following suggestions
while pointing the KDC at the barcode and depressing the scan button.
Modify the angle of the KDC in relation to the barcode, making the angle bigger or smaller as needed.
Modify the distance between the barcode and the KDC, moving closer or further away as needed.
Check option settings defined in the KDC menu section and change options as needed.
Check that the barcode’s width does not exceed the light beam’s width and vice versa.
Synchronizing Barcode Data to PC
Use the KTSync ® program to synchroni ze ba rcode data from the KDC to your PC. Please refer to
Chapter 4 for details.

KDC Mode Menu
The KDC Mode Menu has two options – Normal and Application modes.
Normal: This is the default mode which provides basic barcode scanning. In Normal mode
barcode data can be manipulated directly through the KDC or using KTSync® during the
synchronization process.
Application: This mode allows you to run the user application created by Application Generation
Tool described in Chapter 6.

This menu option allows you to view and/or delete barcodes stored in the KDC.
Set Barcodes Menu
This menu lists all the barcode symbologies supported by your KDC and allows you to select the barcode
symbologies you will be scanning. For maximum scan performance, you should select only the
symbologies you are scanning. Please refer to Appendix A.1 – Symbologies for a detailed listing of
symbologies supported by your KDC.

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.

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.

000001234567012 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
