whereas the single push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions:
• AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure
reading performance in demanding applications
• AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for
reading unknown barcodes (by type and length)
• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check
static reading performance
If using the OM2000N accessory, when entering the X-PRESS™ interface, the
Oscillating Mirror remains in the default fixed position (-15°) in order to make
NOTE
barcode reading easier while performing the X-PRESS™ functions.
The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:
READY (green) This LED indicates the device is ready to operate.
GOOD (green) This LED confirms successful reading.
TRIGGER (yellow) This LED indicates the status of the reading phase.
COM (yellow) This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. *
STATUS (red) This LED indicates a NO READ result.
* When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the
absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.
On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner
is correctly powered.

wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section “Safety Precautions” at the
beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.

This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. **
This LED indicates a NO READ result.
* In On-Line mode the TRIGGER LED corresponds to the active reading phase signaled by the Presence Sensor.
In Automatic and Continuous modes the TRIGGER LED is always on indicating that the reader is ready to read a
code.
** When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the
absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.
On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner
is correctly powered.
2.2 ID-NET™
The ID-NET™ is a built-in high-speed interface dedicated for highspeed scanner interconnection. The ID-NET™ is in addition to the
Main and Auxiliary serial interfaces.
The following network configurations are available:
ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized: Single station – multiple scanners
CBX100
CBX100
CBX100
ID-NET™ interface allows local connection
of multiple scanners reading different sides
of the same target. All scanners share a
single presence sensor and
activate/deactivate simultaneously.
t the end of each reading phase a single
data message is transmitted to the host.
Thanks to ID-NET™, data communication
among scanners is highly efficient so that
an immediate result will be available.

ID-NET™ interface allows connection of scanners reading objects placed on independent
conveyors. All scanners are typically located far away from each other and they use a
dedicated presence sensor.
At the end of each reading phase, each scanner transmits its own data message to the host.
Thanks to ID-NET™, data collection among readers is accomplished at a high speed without
the need of external multiplexing device. This leads to an overall cost reduction and to a
simple system wiring.

2.2.1 How To Setup/Configure the Scanner Network
A complete ID-NET™ scanner network can be rapidly setup, as follows:
Mounting & Connection
1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3).
2. Wire ID-NET™ (refer to par. 4.3 or 5.3).
3. Connect the planned Master scanner to a PC by means of the Genius™ configuration
software.
4. Power up the entire system.
Configuration
1. Launch Genius™.
2. From the Genius™ Device Menu select “Local Device Network Settings” and program the
Role of the Master scanner (Synchronized or Multidata).
This procedure requires the Network Baud Rate be the same for all Slaves and Master,
(500 kbs is the default value). It can be changed after network setup using Genius™
through the Master scanner. See also the alternative procedure in the note below.
3. At the prompt to "Send updated Network configuration to the Local Device" (Master)
choose "Yes".
4. Then run the NET-AUTOSET procedure from the Icon in the Devices Area. Genius™
sets all slave scanners according to the Master Role (Synchronized or Multidata), and
assigns each a random address. If necessary, this address can be changed through the
Network Wizard.
5. Configure the System parameters via Genius™.
6. If using the CBX connection box equipped with a BM100 Backup module, perform
System Backup at the Master.
The scanner network is ready.
If necessary, the ID-NET™ baudrate can be set individually on each Slave
scanner to match the Master. Connect each Slave to Genius™ and set the
NOTE
NOTE
Reading System Layout > Network Baudrate parameter. Then follow the
procedure above.
An alternative method of programming scanner address and role assignment
can be accomplished by using the “Connectivity Programming Barcodes”
(refer to the “ID-NET™ Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes”
document on the product CD).

2.3 X-PRESS™ HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE
X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface
designed with the precise goal of improving ease of
installation and maintenance.
Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented
by means of five-colored LEDs, whereas the single
multi-function key gives immediate access to relevant
functions:
• Autosetup to self-optimize reading performance
in demanding applications
• Autolearn to self-detect unknown barcodes
2
• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check
static reading performance
X-PRESS™ is the common interface adopted in all new products: “You learn one, you can
use them all”.
The colors and meaning of the five LEDs when in the one of the operating modes (On-Line,
Automatic or Continuous) are illustrated in par 2.1.1.
The X-PRESS™ functions do not work if the motor or laser are turned off,
see chp. 9 for details.
NOTE
2.3.1 Diagnostic Indication
The “STATUS” and “READY” LEDs blink simultaneously to signal the presence of a failure.
Diagnostic message transmission on interfaces can be enabled to provide details about
specific failure conditions.
At the same time one or more LEDs light up according to the following scheme:
LED STATUS
READY BLINK
GOOD
TRIGGER ON to indicate a Motor Failure.
COM ON to indicate a Laser Failure.
STATUS BLINK
ON to indicate any Failure different than
Motor or Laser failures.
