To connect the scanner, plug the cable into the interface port of the scanner and connect it to the host. To remove the cable, straighten one end of a paper clip and insert it into the cable release hole to pull out the cable. For IDM160/260 series you need to push down the bracket of the enclosure clip and pull out the cable.

IDM120 Series

For IDM Bluetooth scanners the cable needs to be connected to the smart cradles. The cable inlet is on the bottom side of the cradles.

IDM140/240 Series

IDM160/260 Series

Ensure that the cable is pushed all the way into the RJ inlet of the base

1.1.1 Standard Interfaces (RS-232, USB)

1

IDM scanners support USB

and RS-232 Serial interfaces.

• USB HID (Human Interface Device): The scanner works as a generic USB Keyboard.

• USB COM: The scanner works as a RS-232 serial device. Please note that you have to install the USB

COM Port driver (available on www.sick.com

) before use.

2.1 Preparation before using

2.1.1 Battery installation

1. Ensure the battery contacts of the battery pack are facing the charging contacts inside the battery cavity.

2. Slide the battery pack into the battery cavity until hearing a click sound before locking it with the end cap. The scanner will give 4 beeps when the battery pack is installed properly if the battery pack still has power.

3. Secure the end cap with the screw provided.

You can use the overlapping battery label to pull out the battery if needed.

2.1.2 Charging the battery

1. Choose an appropriate plug for your country and slide it into the power adapter cavity until it is locked. Then plug the AC power plug into the AC wall socket.

Please make sure the USB bus power switch is in “OFF” position.

2.

3. Plug the DC power cord of the power supply unit into the DC Jack of the cradle. The smart cradle emits the power-on beeps and the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator gives one blue blink. If you use the charging cradle, the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator turns steady blue.

4. Place the scanner on the cradle. The status indicator of scanner will turn steady red if the battery is not fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the status indicator of the scanner turns steady green.

Please note the important battery information on the next page!

Afterwards push the scanner head down.

Important information: Please charge the new battery pack for 8 hours prior to the first use. Ensure

that you are using a battery with enough capacity. Otherwise the scanner might lose its radio connection. As soon as the scanner gives warning messages (one red blink and one beep at a regular interval) the scanner needs to be recharged. If the scanner gives 8 red blinks and 8 beeps, the battery power is extremely low. In that case the battery needs to be recharged immediately! If the scanner is not placed into the charging cradle right the way, the scanner turns off automatically. Due to an internal protection circuit there will now be measured 0 V on the outside contacts of the battery. If the battery is not recharged immediately, a further discharge takes place even though the scanner is turned off. Due to the internal chemical processes of lithium ion batteries, this will then result in an irreversible

2.1.3 Placing the scanner into the cradle

Ensure that the scanner is placed properly into the respective smart or charging cradle. If the unit is not placed correctly into the cradle, the charging might not start.

IDMx41: Insert the scanner

IDMx61: Insert the back of the scanner first.

The correct placement into the cradle can be verified by the charging LED on the scanner. (See also chapter

2.1.5 on page 14)

2.1.4 USB Bus power

• If USB 3.0 is available in your host device, both battery charging and regular operation can be supported by the USB Bus Power without using external power supply.

• If you want to use this feature, set the USB bus power switch to “ON”. Then connect the cradle and host device via an USB cable.

• If only USB 2.0 is available in your host device the external power supply is necessary as a power source, because the power supplied from USB 2.0 is not enough to support both battery charging and regular operation simultaneously.

3 Configuration via Barcodes

3.1 Programming Commands

The IDM scanner bar code commands are specially designed proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the IDM Scanner’s internal programming parameters. There are System Command, Family Code and Option Code for programming purpose. Each programmable family and bar code command label is listed on the same page with major system commands. The detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are printed on facing or following pages. The Option Codes and System Commands can be found in the appendix on page 128 and 130.

3.1.1 System Command

The System Command is the highest level bar code command which directs the IDM Scanner to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (M_DEFAULT) and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations. User must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another bar code.

3.1.2 Family Code

The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. IDM Scanner has already provided more than one hundred programming families to meet any specific requirements.

3.1.3 Option Code

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by “0–9”, “A–F” and finishing selection (FIN). For most setting, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family. The Option Codes can be found on page 128.

3.2 Programming 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 Hand-held scanner’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 don’t need to re-program the IDM Scanner if you want to keep the existing configurations in the next power on. The programming procedures of the IDM Scanner 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 Scan 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.

Intermessage Delay: is a time delay between messages outputted by the Hand-held scanner. Increasing this delay will help host applications to process the incoming data on time.

Intercharacter Delay: is a time delay between data characters outputted by the Hand-held scanner. These two parameters are used to synchronize data communication when: 1) the data transmission speed is too fast, characters may be skipped; 2) multitasking operation system or host computers in a network may slow down the keyboard handling; 3) various notebook or desktop PC systems require different timing parameter settings. It is recommended to always add one extra unit as safety margin when adjusting these two parameters.

Interfunction Delay: is a time delay of between transmission and reception of each segment of the message string.

Intermessage, Intercharacter and Interfunction Delay are not available for IDM Bluetooth scanners working in SPP or HID mode.

• USB COM doesn’t support RTS/CTS handshaking protocol.

• When the RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option is selected, the RTS (request to send) and CTS

(clear to send) signals will be issued before normal data communication. This option is very helpful to ensure the reliability of data communication.

• When the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking option is selected, the Hand-held scanner waits for an

ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not acknowledge) from the host computer after each data transmission. If the NAK is received, the Hand-held scanner will re-send the data until receiving ACK. (This function is not available for IDM Bluetooth Scanners in PICO or HID Mode.)

NAK Retry Count

After transmitting data, the scanner expects a NAK response from the host up to the preset “Serial Response Time-out”. If the scanner doesn’t get a response, the scanner will issue an error indication and discard the data. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. The scanner issues an error indication and discards the data under following two conditions:

1. After preset NAK retry counts is received within the preset serial response time-out.

2. If the preset time-out is up but the preset NAK retry counts haven’t come to the end.

The default retry counts are three times. If you program “0 times”, the scanner will not resend the data to the host when the scanner receives a NAK. The scanner will discard the data. If you program “255 times”, the scanner can receive unlimited NAKs from the host within the pre-set serial response time-out. This function is not available for batch mode. When you enable this function in on-line mode, the out-of-range function will be disabled automatically.

• Level 2: If you are experiencing misread of poorly-printed, soiled or damage bar codes in level 1,

please select level 2. This is the most aggressive setting and may increase the misread.

Supplement Scan Voting

The Supplement Scan Voting is the number of times the same UPC/EAN with 2/5 supplement digits has to be decoded before it is transmitted. It is helpful when decoding a mix of UPC/EAN symbols with and without supplement digits. This function is effective when you select UPC/EAN with only 2 supplement digits, UPC/EAN with only 5 supplement digits or UPC/EAN with 2/5 supplement digits. The default value is Level 3. When you select a higher level, it may impact the reading speed on poorly-printed, low contrast or damaged barcode labels.

Disable DPM functionality

In order to verify if the DPM functionality is enabled, please scan the following barcode. If you can read this barcode, the DPM functionality is enabled.

Test1

IDM Corded scanners: if you scan “factory default” and afterwards disconnect the scanner from your

host device, the DPM functionality will be disabled automatically.

IDM Bluetooth scanners: if you take out the battery the DPM functionality will be disabled

automatically.

If you disable the DPM functionality the performance of reading printed 1D and 2D codes will be

improved.

Low Power Mode (Low Power Triggering)

The scanner goes into idle state after scanning the barcode. You must press the trigger to wake up the scanner for operation. It is very helpful for mobile data collection and applications, which are concerned with power saving.

Trigger Mode (External Triggering)

The scanner goes into standby state after scanning the barcode. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the scanner before scanning the bar code.

Presentation Mode (Auto Detection)

Presentation mode uses ambient light to detect the barcodes. The light source is off until the scanner detects an image which is similar to a barcode. Then the light source turns on automatically to read the bar code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly. You can choose different level of “Presentation Sensitivity” to meet your application’s requirements. (Please refer to the setting of “Presentation Sensitivity” on page 86.)

Alternative Mode (Periodic Power Off)

The scanner keeps the light source of the scanner turned on till the pre-defined light source on time is up. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the timer counter of “Light Source on Time” is reset. For you do not have to press the trigger frequently it is very convenient for multiple scanning.

Flash Mode (Pulse Driven Reading)

The scanner flashes the light source of the scanner without using the trigger. If the scanner detects an image which is similar to a barcode, the scanner forces on the light source automatically and scans the barcode. Flash Duty Cycle adjustment can change the frequency of the blinking.

Force Mode (Continued Power On)

The light source of the scanner is forced on for continued operation without pressing the trigger button. This mode is convenient for high speed bar code reading.

Toggle Mode (Repeat Reading)

The toggle mode is very similar to the Alternative Mode but without the pre-defined light source on time concern. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the scanner to scan. The scanner keeps the light source turned on until you press the trigger again.

Diagnostic Mode (Test Reading)

This operation mode is specifically designed for diagnostic purposes. When this operation mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is force on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so forth.

Level Mode (Auto Power Off)

When this operation mode is selected, the scanner continues to turn on the light source of the scanner before a good read or pre-defined “Light Source on Time”. If the scanner decodes a barcode successfully, it turns off the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you must press the trigger to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the pre-defined light source on time, the scanner enters the idle state after the pre-defined light source on time is up.

Scene Mode optimizes the scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity in different environments.

• Scene 1: This is the default setting. lt optimizes the scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity in most working environments.

• Scene 2: When scanning high-density barcodes, you can set the scanner to "Scene 2"· to optimize scanners' motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity.

• Scene 3: Scene 3 is for general retail applications. When scanning common retail barcodes, you can set the scanner to "Scene 3" to optimize scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity.

• Scene 4: Scene 4 is also for general retail applications. lt optimizes the scanner's sensitivity and speed when scanning common retail barcodes. Moreover, it provides superior reading performance when scanning barcodes from the screens of mobile devices, especially large screens or screens with low brightness.

• Scene 5: Scene 5 is application-specific. lt optimizes the scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity when scanning low PCS (print contrast) barcodes on circuit boards.

• Scene 6: Scene 6 is application-specific. lt optimizes the scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity when scanning barcodes on circuit boards under sufficient ambient light.

• Scene 7: Scene 7 is application-specific. lt optimizes the scanner's motion tolerance, scanning speed and scanning sensitivity when scanning barcodes from the screens of mobile devices.

Out-of-range Scanning

When radio link is built between the scanner and remote host device, the scanner will transmit each scanned data right after scanning the barcode data. The scanner is preset to not scan any barcode data when it loses the radio connection. You can enable the Out-of-range Scanning function to continue scanning barcode data into the internal memory buffer until radio link resumed.

Batch Scanning Link Control

It’s a predefined radio option to control the radio-on or radio-off status under batch scanning operation. Please note that if “Radio disable” is selected, the radio link will be disconnected once you enter batch scanning. The radio link will be resumed when you transmit the stored data or exit batch scanning.

Stored Data Transmission

It’s a predefined approach when you want to transmit the scanned data under batch scanning operation. You can transmit the scanned data by placing the scanner onto the cradle or scanning “Transmit Stored Data” command (refer to chapter 2.7.3) or by either one of both methods.

Delete Stored Data after Transmission

This function is disabled in the factory default setting. The scanner will keep all stored data after transmission until you scan the “Clear all Stored Data” command (refer to chapter 2.7.4). If you enable this function all stored data will automatically be deleted after transmission.

Field Delimiter

This function is used to separate the specific information and the scanned data into two fields. You can choose the delimiter format.

Batch Data Quantity Output Format

If you want to input the quantity information of the scanned barcode data, you can enter the quantity from 1 to 9999 by scanning the quantity barcodes right after scanning the barcode data. The quantity information will be stored into the memory storage together with the barcode data. There are three ways to output the stored barcode data and quantity information. (Also refer to chapter 2.7.1)

Data Transmission Format

In PICO mode up to seven scanners can be connected to one smart cradle. The Data Transmission Format helps to identify the source of the transmitted data. Example format: <MAC address><Field delimiter><Data> or <ID><Field delimiter><Data>.
