1 OVERVIEW

This chapter contains an overview of the system commands, quick set

commands, family codes, and option codes used when setting up IDM

scanners. It also presents general information on the programming

procedures, as well as simple flowcharts to help users better understand

the device configuration process.

1 OVERVIEW

Introduction

IDM command barcodes are specially designed barcodes that allow you to program IDM scanners.

They can be grouped into three main categories: System Commands, Family Codes and Option

Codes.

Detailed explanations and programming flowcharts are provided below.

System Commands

System Commands direct IDM scanners to perform immediate operations, ie. enter programming

mode (PROGRAM), exit programming mode (END), list system information (SYSLIST), andreturn

to factory settings (F_DEFAULT). It will take a few seconds to complete the system command

operations, sousers must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another barcode.

Family Codes

Each parameter has a specific family code as its identification. There are over one hundred family

codes available.

Option Codes

Option Codes are a set of command barcodes represented by the characters “0–9”, “A–F” and FIN

(finish selection). For most settings, you must choose at least one option code after selecting a

family code to set the desired parameter.

Quick Set Commands

Quick set commands are command barcodes designed to rapidly set your IDM scanner to a particular

operation mode, host interface setting, Bluetooth link mode, or keyboard language layout.

iCode

The iCode is a macro command barcode designed to streamline your setup process. Instead of

scanning multiple command barcodes to configure their devices, users can easily generate a single

iCode that contains all of the relevant parameters. Your entire setup can thus be completed with

one quick scan. This simplified procedure lowers the risk of configuration errors, accelerates

deployments, and reduces field service and expenses.

1 OVERVIEW

Programming Procedures

Selected parameters are stored in the internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory, even

after the scanner is powered off.

Most family codes require the Single Scan Selection programming procedure. Other family codes

have more sophisticated procedures, such as Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling Scan Selection

or Dual Level Selection. The flowcharts for each procedure is provided below.

The beeping indications for each IDM model can be found in the corresponding Operating

instructions. They will help you recognize the scanner’s status during configuration.

1 OVERVIEW

Scan

“END”

The scanner will exit programming mode, store all

parameters in Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory,

and emit a completion beep.

Scan

“PROGRAM”

The scanner will enter programming mode,

and block all non-programming functions.

Programming Flowcharts

Program & End

It will take 3-4 seconds for the parameters to be stored after scanning “END”. Please do not turn

off your scanner before hearing the completion beep. Otherwise, the parameters settings may be

lost.

1 OVERVIEW

Scan

“SYSLIST”

The scanner will send its model information and

firmware version number to the host device,

then emit a completion beep.

Scan

“M_DEFAULT”

The scanner will return all programmable

parameters to factory settings, and

emit a completion beep.
