Save if Not Sent: If data transmission is NOT successful, barcode data is stored in
memory.
Barcode Only: The KDC transmits scanned barcodes only. You may incorporate
appropriate data transmission error detection and correction mechanisms in this
mode. KDC supports a selection of various termination characters for Barcode Only
format. You can select <NONE>, <CR>, <LF>, <CR+LF> or <TAB> as the
termination character.
Packet Data: KDC transmits packet data with checksum to minimize transmission
®
errors. KTSync sets Data Format to Packet Data format upon execution.
 You may change Data Format to Barcode Only if you would prefer to use the
Barcode Only mode. However, the KDC would stay in Packet Data mode if
KTSync is aborted abnormally. If this is the case, you may have to change the
KDC back to Barcode Only mode manually.

Barcode Index: KDC20i/30i/200i/250i/300i/350i/400i add 4 bytes barcode index
to maintain last synchronized barcode information.
This optional index would be added if data format is "Packet Data".
-
4 bytes index would be added before "@" when responding to "p"
-
command.
4 bytes index plus "@" character would be added after checksum byte if
-
the user scans a barcode and wedges to the host.
Prefix - Allows you to add a prefix to scanned data, that can then be stored in the
KDC or wedged to the host. The Prefix format must be defined in the Data Format
menu of KTSync. The maximum length for a Prefix is 11 characters.
 This Prefix option is different from the Prefix option in KTSync, which attaches
the prefix to data during synchronization.
 The user can also define the prefix by scanning characters defined in Appendix
C. between the following special barcodes.
