Appendix A. Barcode and Scan Options
KDC200 uses a high performance laser scan engine, but it still needs proper setting for the best performance.
Reading a barcode is a delicate and complicated process. Please do not try to change default settings unless you
clearly understand the impact of the changes.

Bookland EAN vs. EAN-13
“Bookland EAN” (that is, the group ISBN, ISSN, and ISMN) is supported by KDC200. This group of
symbology is essentially a EAN-13 barcode with fixed prefix: 977 for ISSN, 978 for ISBN and 979 for ISMN. If
EAN-13 and Bookland EAN are both enabled, then 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 ‘-’ separators. Thus, the ISBN
957-630-239-0 will be transmitted as 9576302390.
Addon Symbologies
By default, the 2- or 5-digit add-on symbol with a UPCE, UPCA, EAN-8, and EAN-13 barcode is neither
decoded nor transmitted. Its transmission for specific symbologies can be enabled by setting the appropriate
