Decide Your Radio Link Mode

The IDM Bluetooth image scanner provides several radio link modes to communicate with most host devices. When the Bluetooth-enabled host device is not available, it can work with the smart cradle in PAIR mode (one to one connection) or PICO mode (multiple connections) to provide a plug-and-play cordless migration of your existing non-Bluetooth-enabled IT assets. Moreover, you are also able to use the scanner to work with Bluetooth-enabled host devices via SPP master/slave modes and HID mode.

After losing the radio link, the scanner is capable of resuming the radio connection automatically while it returns to the communication coverage. But please note that this feature is not available in SPP slave mode. If you would like to change the radio link mode, you have to scan the “Uninstall” command to revert the scanner to uninstall state.

PAIR Mode – 1 scanner connected to one cradle

If the Bluetooth device is not available in your existing system, this is the simplest plug-and-play solution. In this mode, one scanner can only work with one smart cradle. The smart cradle not only provides the Bluetooth radio link with the scanner, but also offers the legacy cabled interfaces to the host device, including USB HID, USB COM, PS/2(DOS/V) Keyboard Wedge and RS232 Serial.

PICO Mode – up to 7 scanners connected to one cradle

Reference Manual

For the requirement of multiple connections, up to 7 scanners can be connected to one smart cradle concurrently. If you would like to un-pair all paired scanners and smart cradle, you can simply press and hold the paging/reset button of the smart cradle for over 5 seconds. If you just want to un-pair part of the paired scanners, please take those paired scanners to scan the “Uninstall” command one by one.

HID Mode –HID communication directly to Bluetooth host without cradle

Through the most helpful HID service, the scanner can work like a Bluetooth keyboard. In this mode, the scanner is discoverable by the radio connection request issued by a remote host device. For security purpose, you will be requested to input the PIN Code to establish the Bluetooth connection in most time.

SPP Master/Slave Mode– Serial communication directly to Bluetooth host without cradle

Through the standard SPP service, the scanner can work like a serial input device. In SPP master mode, the scanner initiates the radio connection request to a remote slave device. In SPP slave mode, the scanner is discoverable by the radio connection request issued by a remote master device.

Programming Procedures

Programming ProceduresProgramming Procedures

As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, information about the final selected parameters represented by the bar code commands are stored in the IDM’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You need not re-program the IDM BT if you want to keep the existing configurations in the next power on.

The programming procedures of IDM BT are designed as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming families take the Single Scan Selection programming procedure. But several programming families have more complex and flexible programmable options, and you must take Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling Scan Selection or Dual Level Selection to complete their programming procedures. Each kind of programming procedure is listed in the following pages for your reference. Please give careful attention to become familiar with each programming procedure.

If the programming family must take multiple scans selection, cycling scan selection, or dual level selection procedures, the family of the programming menu will be marked with the matched representing symbol of Programming Category (P.C.) in bold font listed in the following table. You can easily find the bold mark in the programming menu, and refer to their flowcharts for details. Before setting the IDM, please also refer to the “Beeping Indications” listed in Appendix to understand the details of programming beeping indications. It will be very helpful for you to know the existing status while you are programming the IDM.

Please note:

When using USB mode, field disturbances in frequency ranges of

• 16 MHz +/- 1 MHz

• 32 MHz +/- 1 MHz

• 48 MHz +/- 1 MHz

• 64 MHz +/- 1 MHz

• 120 to 150 MHz

can reduce the immunity of IDM160BT. This is only valid while using USB mode. After a possible disturbance, the scanner automatically re-connects with its base station. Codes that were scanned in the meantime are stored in the internal scanner memory. After the radio connection is re-established, buffered codes will be automatically transmitted to the host.
