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.
Figure 4 - KDC Display
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.
Sync hronizing Ba rc ode Da t a t o PC
Use the KTSync ® program to synchroni ze ba rcode data from the KDC to your PC. Please refer to

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.
V ie w Da t a M e nu
This menu option allows you to view and/or delete barcodes stored in the KDC.
Se t Ba rc ode s M e nu
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.
Code Opt ions M e nu
Your KDC supports various Code Options including Transmission of Start and Stop Characters,
Symbology Conversion, Verification of Optional Check Character, and Transmission of Check Digit.


Security Level: Allows you to ensure an accurate barcode reading by setting the number of times
38
KDC350 User Manual
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.

Auto Trigger: Allows users to scan a barcode automatically once Auto Trigger is enabled. User can
adjust Reread delay from Continuous to Extra Long. Auto Trigger mode always enables duplicate
check option.

KDC200 comes with a rechargeable, Lithium-Polymer battery. The battery is recharged from any USB
port and can be recharged about 300 times before it needs to be replaced.
KoamTac recommends replacing the battery every six months as a declining battery will cause
noticeable performance degradation in KDC200. Replacement batteries can be purchased from a
KoamTac distributor. Batteries should be disposed of properly.
Step One - Place KDC200 face down on a firm surface. On the back, locate the small black screw in the
middle of KDC. This screw secures the battery cover.
Step Two - Press a small Phillips head screwdriver firmly into the screw while simultaneously turning
counterclockwise and loosen the screw. The battery cover will pop open. Remove the cover, keeping
the screw intact. Store cover with screw in a safe place for later.
Step Three - Gently lift the battery to locate a wire connector underneath the battery. The wire
connector is attached to the red and black wires on the battery. It is also attached to a connector on
KDC. Remove the battery using a flat head screwdriver to disengage the connectors, being careful not to
damage the connector on KDC.
Step Four – Use a small flat head screwdriver to reattach the new battery. Connect the white connector
attached to the red and black wires on the replacement battery to the connector on the KDC. Gently
press the battery down, fitting it inside the KDC. Replace the battery cover. With the Phillips head
screwdriver securely tighten the battery cover screw.
Step Five – The replacement battery must be charged before KDC can be used.

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
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


The decoding of add-on symbols is typified by the following table, which explains the process for EAN-13
symbols.

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.

Re solut ion of I nc onsist e nc ie s
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.

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.
Che c k Cha ra c t e rs
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.
Pre ve nt I nt e rle a ve 2 of 5 Pa rt ia l Re a ding
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.

Equa t ion t o De t e rm ining Pot e nt ia l N um be r of St ore d
Ba rc ode s
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.
Da t a Buffe r 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.
