Auto Trigger
Once enabled, Auto Trigger allows users to scan a barcode automatically. You can adjust
Reread delay from Continuous to Extra Long. Auto Trigger mode always enables the duplicate check option.
Note
USB cable insertion requirement is removed from FW2.85/86.O and FW 3.02.
You can exit the auto trigger mode by pressing the scan button for 3 seconds.
Reread Delay
You can adjust the Reread delay from Continuous to Extra Long. Auto Trigger mode always enables the duplicate check option.
Partial Display
This option allows you to display partial data. You can define the start position and number of characters to be displayed.
Data Process Menu
Wedge/Store
The KDC provides five modes of data transmission in keyboard wedging mode.
Wedge Only: Barcode data is NOT stored in memory but transmitted to the host.
Wedge & Store Only: Barcode data is stored in memory and transmitted to the host.
Store Only: Barcode data is stored in memory but NOT transmitted to the host.
Save if Sent: If data transmission is successful, barcode data is stored in memory.
Save if Not Sent: If data transmission is NOT successful, barcode data is stored in memory.
Data Format
The KDC provides two data formats, Barcode Only and Packet Data.
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.
Note
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.
Data Editor
KDC provides various data editing options.
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.
Note
Note
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.

Barcode Only. This option allows you to select <NONE>, <CR>, <LF>, <CR+LF>, or
<TAB> as the termination character. The default terminator is <CR+LF>. The
