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.

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
