KDC250 User Manual 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. A.
KDC250 User Manual 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.
KDC250 User Manual A.2 Code Options The KDC supports the following barcode options: z Transmission of start and stop characters z Reverse direction z Symbology conversion z Verification of optional check character z 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.
KDC250 User Manual Verification of Optional “Check Digit” Code39 and Interleave 2 of 5 have an optional check digit, which, by default, is not verified. Their verification can be enabled by selecting the option VerifyCheckDigit to true or you can enable the verification for individual symbologies. If the check digit verification fails then the barcode is not transmitted.
KDC250 User Manual Resolution of Inconsistencies 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.
KDC250 User Manual 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.
KDC250 User Manual 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 81,920/19 =4,311.
