About the ID-01 Laser Scanner
About the ID-01 Laser Scanner
The ID-01 is an ultra-compact scanner that can decode high density symbols from 2 to 10
inches at a 70 degree scan angle, at speeds of 300 to 1,000 decodes per second, with a
power draw of only 300mA at 5V. The multi-function EZ button can be used for read rate
tests and automatic calibration right out of the box, and it can also be programmed to per-
form a variety of other functions.
Programmable firmware also allows considerable control of multiple features, including
three programmable relay outputs and new master and trigger inputs.
The scanner can be configured with di-soric ID (Setup Program), di-soric’s proprietary
scanner setup software. di-soric ID can be downloaded from the di-soric website at
www.di-soric.com. You must be running Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher to use
di-soric ID.
Scanner Communication
There are five ways to program the scanner:
1. di-soric’s Windows-based di-soric ID, which offers point-and-click ease of use and
visual responses to user adjustments.
2. Serial commands such as <K100,1> can be sent from di-soric ID’s Terminal or
another terminal program.
3. Embedded firmware (onboard menus).
4. Symbol configuration.
5. The EZ Button on the top of the scanner.
Note: You can learn the current setting of any parameter by inserting a question mark after
the command number, as in <K100?> To see all “K” commands, send <K?>.

Introduction
Warning and Caution Summary
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected;
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For connection to a UL-listed direct plug-in power unit marked Class II and rated 10 to 28
VDC at 5 watts or greater.
European models must use a similarly rated Class I or Class II power supply that is certified
to comply with standard for safety EN 60950.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous laser light radiation exposure.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the scanner. Opening the scanner voids the di-soric
Systems, Inc. warranty and could expose the user to laser diode power.
The laser beam can be harmful to eyesight. Avoid eye contact with the laser beam. Never
point the beam at other people, or in a direction where people may be passing.

Quick Start
Step 6 —Position Symbol and Scanner
Note: Code 39 is the default code type enabled. If you are uncertain as to your symbology
type, enable all codes by selecting the Auto Discriminate macro in Terminal mode.
1. Set up a symbol at the distance you are using in your application.
2. Avoid bright light or IR light from other sources, including other scanners.
3. Pitch the symbol or scanner at a minimum of ±15° to avoid specular reflection (the
return of direct, non-diffused light).
Note: If using an I 2/5 symbol, verify that the number of characters in the symbol being
scanned matches the symbol length enabled for the I 2/5 symbol type (default is 10 and
6). See “Interleaved 2 of 5” on page 5-10.

Test Read Rate
Step 7 —Test Read Rate
With this test you can learn the percentage of decodes per images captured by observing
the LEDs (20% through 100%) on the top of the ID-01 which are active during a read rate
test. If the results are not satisfactory, move on to Step 8 — “Calibrate the Scanner”.
By di-soric ID
After connecting to the scanner, di-soric ID will open in Setup Mode.
1. Click the EZ Button in Setup Mode to begin the read rate test.
2. Follow the instructions in Setup Mode.
3. To end the read rate test, click the Stop button.
By the EZ Button
1. Press and hold the EZ button on the ID-01 until
you hear one beep and see one LED momentarily
turn amber. This will signal the beginning of the
read rate routine.1
2. To end the read rate test press the EZ button and
quickly release.
1. This assumes that the default functions of the EZ button have not been re-programmed.
