How to install KoamTac KDC280 BLE Scanning Package

• Unpack the kit and identify the USB dongle and the KDC280 BLE scanner. Ensure you have a compatible computer or device ready with a USB port and Bluetooth functionality if you plan to use the BLE connection.
• Plug the USB dongle into a free USB port on your computer. In most cases, the system will recognize the dongle immediately and install any necessary HID drivers automatically.
• Turn on the KDC280 scanner and switch to the desired connection mode. If you’re using USB, the scanner will typically operate in HID keyboard emulation mode, allowing scanned data to appear directly in any text field or software input.
• For BLE pairing, enable Bluetooth on your target device, search for the KDC280D‑BLE, and complete pairing following the on‑screen prompts. Once paired, launch your POS or inventory app and test scanning to confirm data is transmitted correctly.
• Open your preferred software (POS, WMS, ERP, or custom app) and start scanning. If your software supports keyboard input, you should see scanned codes appear instantly as if typed by a keyboard.
• Optional calibration and configuration: depending on your deployment, you can adjust basic settings within the scanning app or the device’s configuration utility to tailor symbology support, prefix/suffix options, or trigger behavior for your workflow.
