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.

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 EAN does not have any
options. The Bookland EAN barcode does not contain any groupings – that is, there are no hyphens or
