KoamTac KDC380D Barcode Scanner — 1D/2D Wireless Data Collector with Bluetooth, Optional Wi-Fi and NFC

The KoamTac KDC380D Barcode Scanner is a versatile, enterprise-grade handheld data collector designed to streamline inventory, asset tracking, and retail operations. This 1D/2D wireless scanner combines rapid, reliable barcode decoding with flexible connectivity options, enabling seamless data capture across devices and networks. Whether you’re in a busy warehouse, a bustling retail floor, or on the go in field service, the KDC380D delivers fast, accurate scans and intelligent data transfer to your preferred host systems. With Bluetooth to connect to smartphones, tablets, or PCs and an optional Wi-Fi connection to a server or cloud-based platform, this device is built to support modern, connected workflows. It also offers optional Near Field Communication (NFC) for quick pairing and simple tap-to-transfer capabilities, enhancing speed and ease of use in high-demand environments.

Engineered for performance and endurance, the KDC380D thrives in demanding settings. Its 1D/2D imager reads a wide range of barcodes—UPC, EAN, QR codes, Data Matrix, and more—across varying label qualities and lighting conditions. The result is fewer rescans, faster checkout lanes, and more accurate data capture at the point of interaction. The compact, ergonomic form fits comfortably in the hand for extended scanning sessions, while a durable construction stands up to daily wear and tear in warehouse aisles, stockrooms, and service calls. In addition to core scanning, the KDC380D acts as a capable data collector, buffering scans for later transmission when network access is intermittent, ensuring that no data is lost in the field. This device is designed to integrate with a variety of enterprise ecosystems, providing flexible deployment options for on-premise servers or cloud-based platforms.

• 1D/2D barcode scanning with high decode speed: The KDC380D handles a broad spectrum of barcodes—traditional one-dimensional codes and two-dimensional data matrices—delivering rapid, reliable reads even on damaged or poorly printed labels. This makes it ideal for retailers, logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare settings where speed and accuracy are critical.
• Bluetooth wireless connectivity to mobile devices and PCs: Pair the KDC380D with smartphones, tablets, or computers to enable real-time data capture at the point of need. The Bluetooth link supports seamless data transfer to your operating system or application, reducing workflow friction and enabling mobile, hands-free scanning when paired with a rugged mobile device or workstation.
• Optional Wi‑Fi connectivity for server or cloud integration: When Wi‑Fi is enabled, the scanner can transmit scanned data directly to a server, gateway, or cloud platform. This capability supports real-time inventory updates, centralized asset management, and scalable enterprise deployments, allowing teams to maintain current records without manual data entry.
• Optional NFC for quick pairing and tap-to-transfer: NFC support enables fast, tap-based pairing with compatible devices or services, accelerating setup and reducing configuration time in busy work environments. NFC also opens possibilities for contactless data exchange and streamlined workflow automation.
• Ergonomic, durable design for all-day use: The KDC380D features a comfortable grip, intuitive trigger, and robust construction built to withstand daily use in warehouses, retail floors, and service environments. Its compact footprint supports easy one-handed operation, while the durable housing stands up to bumps, drops, and exposure to dust and light moisture common in workplace settings.

How to install KoamTac KDC380D

• Power on and prepare the device: Fully charge the scanner and power it on. Ensure any firmware updates are applied if prompted by your initial setup or companion app.
• Enable Bluetooth on the host device: On your smartphone, tablet, or PC, activate Bluetooth and make the device discoverable. If you plan to use NFC, ensure NFC is enabled on the host as well.
• Pair via Bluetooth: The KDC380D should appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices. Select it to pair, and follow on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process. Once paired, test a scan to confirm successful data transmission.
• Configure optional Wi‑Fi (if used): Access the scanner’s settings menu or use a companion app to connect to your local Wi‑Fi network. Enter SSID and password as required, then designate the destination server or cloud service to receive scanned data in real time or for offline buffering.
• Enable NFC pairing (optional): If you plan to use NFC, enable the feature and bring a compatible device into close proximity to complete tap-to-connect or data transfer. Validate the NFC workflow with a test scan to ensure seamless operation.
• Integrate with your software ecosystem: Install any required drivers, apps, or SDKs on the host device. Configure the data format (e.g., HID or SPP over Bluetooth, or custom protocol for Wi‑Fi) to match your software or inventory management system, then conduct end-to-end testing with sample barcodes.
