KDC Mode Menu

The KDC Mode Menu has two options – Normal and Application modes.
Normal: This is the default mode which provides basic barcode scanning. In Normal mode
barcode data can be manipulated directly through the KDC or using KTSync
synchronization process.
Application: This mode allows you to run the user application created by Application Generation
Tool described in Chapter 5.

View Data Menu

This menu option allows you to view and/or delete barcodes stored in the KDC.

Set Barcodes Menu

This menu lists all the barcode symbologies supported by your KDC and allows you to select the
barcode symbologies you will be scanning. For maximum scan performance, you should select only the
symbologies you are scanning. Please refer to Appendix A.1 – Symbologies for a detailed listing of
symbologies supported by your KDC.

Code Options Menu

Your KDC supports various Code Options including Transmission of Start and Stop Characters,
Symbology Conversion, Verification of Optional Check Character, and Transmission of Check Digit.
Please refer to Appendix The add-on symbol is appended to the EAN-13 barcode. The process is
similar for UPCE, UPCA, and EAN-8 barcodes. Note that all the UPCE, UPCA, EAN-8, and EAN-13
formatting and conversion options are in effect. The following table should help explain the effect of
various options for EAN-8 barcode 12345670 + 12.

Table 9 - Add-on for EAN-8 Symbology
The add-on symbol neither contains check digit nor a terminating guard band. Every effort has been made
to reduce the decoding error; however, it is likely to decode a partial scan of a 5-digit add-on symbol as a
2-digit add-on symbol. It is strongly recommended that the minimum security level is set at 2 while
decoding add-on symbols. Since the decoder takes a conservative view on the add-on symbols, it is likely
that the add-on symbol will be missed in the auto-discrimination mode. Auto-discrimination mode should
then be avoided.
