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.
