Prior to connecting the KDC to your computer, please verify that your system meets the minimum system
requirements.
9Microsoft Windows XP or Vista
9Accessible USB port or serial port for connecting KDC to your computer
Affix Neck Strap to KDC
We strongly recommend attaching the neck strap to the KDC. Wear the KDC securely around your neck to
prevent potential damage to the device if dropped. DO NOT swing the product with the neck strap. Contact
with another object may damage the KDC causing it to malfunction. To install the neck strap,
1. Fit small thin cord of the strap around the pillar of the KDC.
2. Loop the thick cord of the strap through the thin loop.
3. Pull the strap tight.

Please create a directory in PC and copy CD files.
•Insert the CD into your PC’s disk drive.
•From the Windows taskbar, click the Start icon, My Computer icon, then the CD icon. A folder
labeled KDC will display.
•Highlight the folder and click Copy this folder on the left sidebar menu.
•The Copy Items box pops up. Click on Make a New Folder. Rename folder to KTSync.
•With the KTSync folder highlighted, click Copy.
•The KTSync®program, User Manual, and KTReader.inf file will be copied into that folder.

Connect KDC to PC
The KDC is equipped with one ultra mini USB port. If you have the KDC100, it has two ports, Ultra Mini
and standard Type A which swings out. See Figure 2 for more details. The USB port is used to upload
barcode data and to charge the KDC battery. Prior to using the KDC, your PC must recognize the KDC.
With the USB cable that came with the KDC, connect the KDC to your PC. Follow these directions for
connecting the KDC to your PC.
1. Connect the cable’s ultra mini USB connector to the KDC.
2. Connect the cable’s Type A USB connector to your PC.
3. Wait until your computer beeps and displays the message New Hardware Found.
4. Follow the prompts to search for the KDC device driver. The device driver is located in the KDSync
directory created when you copied the CD contents to your PC.
5. Select KDSync directory and KTReader.inf file.
6. Continue with the hardware installation procedure.
Charge KDC Battery
After installing the KDC, you must charge its battery. To charge the battery, follow these directions.
1. Connect the cable’s ultra mini USB connector to the KDC.
2. Connect the cable’s Type A USB connector to your computer.
3. Your KDC battery will begin charging. Two small LEDs on the front panel will illuminate orange.
When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs will illuminate green.

Press UP and DOWN Scroll Buttons
simultaneously to access the KDC
menu.
Configure KDC
The KDC is designed to meet the data collection requirements of many different industries in a variety of
dynamic situations. To perform well in these diverse environments, the KDC is designed to be configured
easily and quickly. For the KDC to perform at its maximum level, the KDC must be configured properly.
Until you are familiar with configuring the KDC, it is recommended that you DO NOT modify the KDC. The
KDC can be configured in three different methods which are explained in Chapter 2.5 KDC Menus,
Chapter 4. Synchronization, and Appendix C – Special Barcodes (currently only available for KDC100,
KDC200, and KDC200P).
CONFIGURATION METHODS FOR THE KDC

2.4 Basic Operation
Reading Barcodes
Reading a barcode is simply. Point the KDC at a barcode and press the scan button. Be sure to point the
scan engine at the barcode, not at your face, making sure to position the light beam on the barcode. If the
barcode is scanned successfully, you will hear one beep and the LEDs will illuminate in green. The scanned
barcode data will display along with scan time and battery level. Depending on the configuration of your
KDC, other information may also display.
If the scan was unsuccessful, you will hear two beeps, the LEDs will illuminate in red, and the message
Failed reading… will display. If you have problems scanning a barcode, try the following suggestions while
pointing the KDC at the barcode and depressing the scan button.
zModify the angle of the KDC in relation to the barcode, making the angle bigger or smaller as needed.
zModify the distance between the barcode and the KDC, moving closer or further away as needed.
zCheck option settings defined in the KDC menu section and change options as needed.
zCheck that the barcode’s width does not exceed the light beam’s width and vice versa.
Upload Barcode Data to PC
Use the KTSync®synchronization program to upload barcode data from the KDC to your PC. Please refer
to Chapter 4. Synchronization for details.

KDC Mode Menu
The KDC Mode Menu has three options – Normal, Onetime, and Continuous modes.
zNormal: This is the default mode which provides basic barcode scanning. In Normal mode barcode data
can be manipulation directly through the KDC or using KTSync® during the synchronization process.
zOnetime: This mode allows you to define a master barcode and then compare another barcode to the
master barcode one time.
zContinuous: This mode allows you to define a master barcode and then compare multiple barcodes to
the master barcode continuously.
zCollation: This mode works in conjunction with Onetime and Continuous modes, allowing you to define a
string of characters within the master barcode and a string of characters within a slave barcode for
comparison in Onetime or Continuous modes.
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, Transmission of Check Digit, and Concatenate. Please
refer to Table 3 – KDC300 Menu Options for a detailed listing of Code Options for the symbologies supported
by the KDC.

Scan Options Menu
•Scan Angle: Allows you to configure the laser beam angle to the barcode. Wide is 54o and Narrow is 27o.
The default is Wide.
•Filter: Allows you to change the Filter mode from Normal to High for poor quality barcodes.
The default is Normal.
•Timeout: Allows you to set the length of time before the KDC will stop scanning a barcode from .5 second
up to 10 seconds. The default is 2 seconds.
•Minimum Barcode Length: Allows you to set a barcode length from 2 characters to 36 characters. It is
strongly recommended that you maximize the minimum barcode length setting to prevent possible errors.
The default is 4 characters.
•Security Level: Allows you to ensure an accurate barcode reading by setting the number of times the KDC
will read a barcode. Security Level is set from 1 up to 4. The higher security level means more reliable
readings though some performance degradation is likely. For poor quality barcodes, we recommend
increasing the security level. The default is 2.

Bluetooth Menu - KDC200 / KDC200P / KDC300
The KDC supports Bluetooth, a robust wireless protocol that allows connectivity between a
Bluetooth enabled KDC and a Microsoft compatible host device running a Bluetooth environment. Before
utilizing the advantages of Bluetooth functionality with the KDC, you should become familiar with Bluetooth
connectivity and its impact on your host environment.
To configure your KDC for Bluetooth functionality, you must use the KDC Menus. To access the menus,
simultaneously press the UP and DOWN scroll buttons on the side of the KDC for about 5
seconds until the KDC Menus display. Use the DOWN button to scroll to Bluetooth then press the
Scan button.
Below is a listing of the Bluetooth options and their settings. The default settings for these options have been
set to increase the usability of Bluetooth technology without compromising the KDC
battery usage. IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend NOT changing these settings until you have fully
tested the Bluetooth connection between the KDC and the host device.
For more detailed information regarding Bluetooth functionality with the KDC, please refer to Bluetooth Menu -
KDC200 / KDC200P / KDC300.
