Maximum Data Length This field enables the user to define the maximum length of a scanned barcode. The defined length may be between 2 and 256 characters. If the user scans a barcode that has a length is greater than the defined length, the barcode data is not collected. Barcode Collation This option enables the user to define a data string that the KDC will use to compare scanned barcodes.
All Stored Data – This option enables the user to compare the scanned barcode with stored barcode data and treat it as non-compliant data if the same barcode already scanned and stored. Do not Save Non-Compliant Data This field tells the KDC how to manage non-compliant data based on the defined data filtering fields. If this field is enabled, non-compliant data is NOT stored in the KDC. If this option is not enabled, non-compliant data is stored.
6.2 Predefined Applications KTSync provides four Predefined Applications: Master/Slave, Pick/Bin, DB Lookup and Inventory. Master/Slave Master/Slave predefined application enables you to define a master barcode for comparison with one or more slave barcodes. The predefined application may be run once or continuously. Within either setting, you may define a substring for comparison of master and slave barcodes. Master/Slave Onetime Define one master barcode and compare it with one slave barcode.
Figure 36 - Master/Slave Application Settings Pick/Bin The Pick/Bin predefined application is a special version of the Master/Slave predefined application. The Pick/Bin application enables you to define the Pick ID and the barcode symbology for comparison with a defined Bin. Number of ID and Symbology Define Pick ID characters from 1 to 32 and the barcode symbology. KDC Mode Collation : Define substring to be compared.
Pick Start Position and Symbology Select numeric position of start substring character in Pick barcode from 1 to 255 and the barcode symbology. Bin Start Position and Symbology Select the numeric position of start substring character in Bin barcode from 1 to 255 and the barcode symbology. Comparing Barcode Length Select the number of characters to be compared from 0 to 255. 0 means all characters.

DB Lookup Application The DB Lookup application enables the user to download a database to the KDC that may then be utilized for advanced AUTO-ID applications, such as displaying additional data after scanning a barcode. For example, using our DB Lookup application, you may download a product database including information such as description, price, and stock quantity.
Download DB to KDC - Downloads user created database to KDC. Starting Quantity - Enter predefined start quantity for each scanned barcode. The start quantity may be defined from 1 to 128 and may be adjusted using UP or DOWN buttons. Barcode Field - Select the position of barcode field in database from 1 to 4. Stored Barcode Start Position - Select the numeric position of start substring character of barcode in database from 1 to 39.
Inventory Application The Inventory application enables the user to count inventories by scanning inventory barcodes. This application will increase inventory item count if the same item is scanned. Users may also download an inventory database to the KDC. If inventory DB is downloaded, KDC will display inventory description. Functionality of Inventory Application (based on the firmware version v2.86 and v3.0+) The inventory may not exceed 800 items (v2.86) / 61,440 items (v3.0+).

BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS 10. Appendix A – Barcode & Scan Options The process for scanning and reading barcodes is delicate and complicated. Although the 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. 10.
BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS OCR Fonts N/A OCR-A, OCR-B, OCRUSCurrency, OCRMICRE13B, & OCRSEMIFONT Table 7 - 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.
BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS Without add- The add-on symbol is ignored. true false on 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 & SCAN 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, the user may 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.
BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS UPCE_as_UPCA No effect No effect Converted to UPC-A Table 10 - Symbology Conversion Verification of Optional “Check Digit” Code39 and Interleave 2 of 5 have an optional check digit, which, by default, is not verified. Changing the option VerifyCheckDigit to true may enable their verification, or the user may enable the verification for individual symbologies. If the check digit verification fails, the barcode is not transmitted.

BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS 10.3 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.
BARCODE & SCAN OPTIONS 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 may be stored in the KDC memory depends on the size of the barcodes. Example: In case of EAN-13, it takes up 20 bytes. The maximum number of EAN-13 barcodes that may be saved is STORAGE_SIZE/20.
