Basic Operation

1. Aim the KDC directly at the barcode and press either of the SCAN buttons located on each side of the device ensuring the beam covers the barcode horizontally.
2. A successful scan will sound 1 beep amd show a green LED. An unsuccessful scan will sound 2 beeps and show a red LED.

Powering On/Off

Press both SCAN and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds. The KDC will beep when turned ON or OFF. The KDC will sound a long beep when it is ready to use.

Bluetooth Profiles Explained

• HD Normal: Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with an Android, Mac, and Windows host device. The KDC only transmits data to the host device.
• SPP: Allows two-way Bluetooth communication. The KDC transmits data to host device and the host can transmit data back to the KDC.
• HD iOS: Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with an iOS host device. The KDC only transmits data to the iOS host device.
• MFi: Allows two-way Bluetooth communication with an iOS host device. The KDC transmits data to an iOS host device and the iOS host can transmit data back to the KDC.

HID inputs data directly into an application. Both SPP and MFi require KOAMTAC KTSync® app or integration of the KOAMTAC SDK to input data into an application.

3. Using the KDC, scan the pairing barcode that corresponds to your desired Bluetooth profile. If you are unsure which Bluetooth profile is right for you, please refer to the previous panel.
   • If KDC does not have a barcode scanner, hold any SCAN button on the KDC for 5 seconds until you hear a beep to begin pairing (Select Bluetooth Profiles from KTSync Windows using USB cable).
4. Check the list of available Bluetooth devices on your host device.
5. From the list, select KDC listed by serial number in brackets that matches the serial number found on the back side of the KDC.
6. In HID mode, the KDC is now ready to use.
7. To complete connection in SPP/MFi mode, launch KTSync or your application and select the KDC.

• The KDC will beep when successfully connected.

BLE Pairing Barcodes

KDC470-BLE and KDC475-BLE models can pair via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) with the barcodes below:

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 or MFi, 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 SPP/MFi profiles.
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.

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, Tizen, Windows, Xamarin, and Cordova. Developers may take advantage of the complimentary SDK and enjoy the full benefits of the KOAMTAC Developer Program.
