About the ID-08 and ID-09 Handheld Readers
About the ID-08 and ID-09 Handheld Readers
The ID-08 is a general-purpose 2D reader. Its many features include dual field optics for
both high density and wide angle performance, a ruggedized design, IP54 sealing against
dust and water, and compact size.
The ID-09 is a special-purpose 2D reader for decoding direct part marks (DPM). di-soric’s X-
Mode decode algorithms make the ID-09 an ideal solution for reading difficult marks on many
surfaces, including PCBs, electrical components, castings, and sheet metal. Its tough design
makes it a good choice for manufacturing and light industrial applications.
Both readers can be configured and tested easily using the intuitive tree controls and user
interface of di-soric’s ID-Software.
Note: The ID-08 and ID-09 have unique algorithm licenses, and the ID-08 cannot be field-
upgraded to an ID-09.
About This Manual
This manual provides complete information on setting up, installing, and configuring the
ID-08 and ID-09. The chapters are presented in the order in which the reader would be
assembled, configured, and optimized.
Highlighting
Cross-references and web addresses are highlighted in blue bold.
References to ID-Software, its toolbar headings, and menu headings are highlighted in Bold Ini-
tial Caps.

This section is designed to get your ID-08 or ID-09 Handheld Reader up and running
quickly using di-soric’s ID-Software so you can get a sense of its capabilities and test sam-
ple symbols. Detailed setup information for configuring the reader for your specific appli-
cation can be obtained in the subsequent sections.
Your interface type will determine how data is received by the host. When sending data by
USB, you must open a text editor in your host computer. When sending data by RS-232, you
must use a terminal program such as ID-Software Terminal view.
