KDC350 User Manual This option is used when the barcode data has non-English characters and a non-English keyboard. Clear Button User may press this button to clear the KTSync internal viewer.
KDC350 User Manual 6. APPLICATION GENERATION [NOTE] KDC FW2.85.200.x doesn’t support the Application Generation feature. Users should upgrade FW2.85.200.x to FW2.86.200.x to use Application Generation feature When you select Application menu from the KTSync, you can choose from the following five Applications – Generation, DB Lookup, Master/Slave, Pick/BIN, and Inventory. Users can also download saved programs using Import & Download option.
KDC350 User Manual 6.1 Application Generation KDC Application Generation tool is a robust feature that allows you to create custom applications for collecting and managing barcode data. To create a custom application, select the Generation submenu from the Application menu in KTSync®.
KDC350 User Manual Starting quantity Enter a predefined start quantity for each scanned barcode. The start quantity can be defined from 1 to 128 and is modifiable using up or down side key. Waiting to scan Enter the number of seconds the KDC pauses before the user prompts display. During this timeout period, the user can modify the quantity. If this field is set to zero, the quantity field cannot be adjusted. This field can be defined from “-1” to “30” seconds.
KDC350 User Manual Barcode Type This field allows you to select the type of barcodes the KDC will collect. When you click on the box, Select Symbols is enabled. A listing of the symbologies supported by the KDC displays. To select a barcode symbology, click on the box associated with the symbology. Minimum Data Length This field allows you to define the minimum length of the scanned barcode. The length can be between 2 and 36 characters.
KDC350 User Manual o All Stored Data – This option allows you to compare the scanned barcode with stored barcode data and treat it as non-compliant data if the same barcode already scanned and stored. Don’t 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.
KDC350 User Manual 6.2 Predefined Applications KTSync provides four Predefined Applications – Master/Slave, Pick/Bin, DB Lookup and Inventory. Master/Slave Master/Slave predefined application allows you to define a master barcode for comparison with one or more slave barcodes. The predefined application can be run once or continuously and within either setting, you can define a substring for comparison of master and slave barcodes.
KDC350 User Manual KDC Mode Collation : Define substring to be compared .
KDC350 User Manual Pick/Bin The Pick/Bin predefined application is a special version of the Master/Slave predefined application. The Pick/Bin application allows you to define 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. Pick Start Position and Symbology Select numeric position of start substring character in Pick barcode from 1 to 255 and the barcode symbology.

KDC350 User Manual DB Lookup Application The DB Lookup application allows you to download a database to the KDC which can then be utilized for advanced AUTO-ID applications like displaying additional data after scanning a barcode. For example, using our DB Lookup application, you could download a product database including information such as description, price, and stock quantity.
KDC350 User Manual Figure 27 – DB Lookup Application Menu 91
KDC350 User Manual Inventory Application The Inventory application allows you to count inventories by scanning inventory barcodes. This application will increase inventory item count if the same item is scanned. Users can also download an inventory database to the KDC. KDC will display inventory description after scanning a barcode if inventory DB is downloaded. Functionality of Inventory Application The inventory cannot exceed 800 items. The maximum record size is 128 bytes.

KDC350 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.
KDC350 User Manual 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 EAN8withAddon EAN13withAddon The decoding of add-on symbols is typified by the following table, which explains the process for EAN-13 symbols.
KDC350 User Manual A.2 Code Options The KDC supports the following barcode 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 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.
KDC350 User Manual Verification of Optional “Check Digit” Code39 and Interleave 2 of 5 have an optional che ck di git, whi ch, by default, is not verified. Their verification can be enabled by sel ecting the optio n VerifyCheckDigit to tru e or you can e nable th e verification f or individu al symbologi es. If the c heck digit verification fails then the barco de is not transmitted.
KDC350 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.
KDC350 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.
KDC350 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 204,800/19 =10,778.
