KTSync & SDK
KTSync® is a program which communicates with the KDC via Bluetooth. It enables users to read and store data. KTSync is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. It also supports wedging and downloading data from the KDC.
For more information about KTSync, please visit: www.koamtac.com/support/downloads/applications
The Software Development Kit (SDK) is the perfect solution for creating a custom application to collect data utilizing your KDC. The KOAMTAC SDK covers all major development platforms: Android, iOS, Mac OS X, Windows, Xamarin, and Cordovan. Developers may take advantage of the complimentary SDK and enjoy the full benefits of the KOAMTAC Developer Program.

Using Keyboard Wedge

Keyboard wedge allows you to use your KDC as a keyboard. The HID profile works as keyboard wedge by default. When using SPP, KTSync provides a keyboard wedge function when KTSync keyboard is enabled. Please refer to the KDC Reference Manual for detailed instructions to enable KTSync keyboard.

1. Ensure that the KDC is connected to the host using the HID profile or the KDC is connected via KTSync keyboard using the SPP profile.
2. Open any application on the host device that contains a text field you want to populate.
3. Tap the text field in the application.
4. Scan any barcode with the KDC.
5. The barcode data will then populate in the text field.
