PDF417 Symbology
The KDC200P has the same functionality as the KDC200 but it has an added option for supporting the
PDF417 symbology. For maximum scanning performance for the PDF417 symbology, please become
familiar with the following details.
Ensure that not every row of the PDF417 barcode has its own encoding scheme.
When scanning a PDF417 barcode, do not cross too many rows.
PDF417 barcodes should be scanned horizontally from top to bottom if possible.
The PDF417 Menu lets you configure options for scanning this symbology which are discussed below.
KTSync also allows you to configure these PDF417 options.
Quality Level – This option allows you to configure the Quality Level of the barcode you are
scanning so the KDC is able to read it. This option adjusts the number of errors and erasures
defined in the PDF417 standard. The higher the Quality Level, the more accurate the scan but
the speed of the scan is reduced. The Quality Level option can be set between 1 and 4. The
default Quality Level is 2.
Tilt Level – This option affects the speed and the accuracy of the scanner/decoder. If you
allow for more tilt, this may lead to poor quality data, especially when the number of columns
is large. However, when scanning a PDF417 barcodes with large number of columns, a
certain amount of tilt is necessary. The optimal Tilt Level for your KDC will depend on the
quality and size of the PDF417 barcodes you are scanning. The default Tilt Level is 3.
Start/Stop – This option is used to reduce the chance of scan errors but may prevent decoding
of partially occluded barcodes. To use this option, a Start and Stop characters must be
defined. When the KDC is not scanning PDF417 barcodes, this option should be set to
Disable. The default setting is Disable.
