The default directory is /Users/Shared/KTSyncData directory. User can define other directory or other filename by clicking “New” button.
KDC User Manual Synchronization Options Synchronize KDC clock KTSync will set the KDC’s date and time with Mac PC date and time when the KDC is connected to Mac if this option is enabled. Burst synchronization KTSync will synchronize barcode data from KDC in the burst mode if this option is enabled. Otherwise, KTSync will synchronize barcode data one by one. This option is enabled by default and can’t be disabled.
KDC User Manual Data delimiter This option is used to select a character to be added between barcode data, serial number and timestamp and/or barcode type. User can select one of the following: None, Tab, Space, Comma and Semicolon as the data delimiter. The Comma is selected by default and can’t be changed. Record delimiter This option is used to select a character to be added at the end of the barcode record. User can select one of None, CR, LF, TAB, and CR&LF as the record delimiter.

KDC User Manual 9.APPENDIX A - Barcode & Scan 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. 9.
KDC User Manual 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.
KDC User Manual 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 1234567012 123456712 00000123456712 000001234567012 EAN8_as_EAN13 False True EAN8_Return CheckDigit EAN13_Return CheckDigit True N/A False false N/A true Table 7 - Add-on for EAN-8 Symbology The add-on symbol neither contains check digit nor a terminating guard band.
KDC User Manual 9.2.2 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.
KDC User Manual 9.2.4 Transmission of “Check Digit” By default, the check digit – optional or mandatory – is not transmitted. Its transmission can be enabled for all symbologies by enabling ReturnCheckDigit option.
KDC User Manual 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.
KDC User Manual 9.3 Miscellaneous Barcode Information 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 checkcharacters is not safe and will lead to errors that are costly to correct.
KDC User Manual 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.
KDC User Manual 10. APPENDIX B – FAQ 10.1 Symbology Q: What barcode symbologies are supported by the KDC20? A: The KDC20 support 1D barcode only.
KDC User Manual 10.2 Battery Q: How long will the KDC battery last before it needs to be replaced? A: The battery on the KDC can be charged at least 300 times before it needs to be replaced. Q: How long does it take to charge the KDC? A: It takes about 2 hours to charge the KDC20. Q: How many barcodes can a fully charged KDC20 scan? A: If user scans a barcode every 5 seconds, KDC20 scans more than 3,500 barcodes.
