1.2 Connectivity
IDM scanners support USB1, PS/2(DOS/V) Keyboard Wedge and RS-232 Serial interfaces.
RS-232 Serial
USB HID & USB COM
PS/2 Keyboard Wedge
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.mysick.com) before using.
1USB is not suitable for use in industrial environments. Therefore, at cable installation it is important to ensure that there are no close
sources of interference.

Connectivity User Instructions
IDM corded
6© SICK AG · Germany · All rights reserved · Subject to change without notice 8015906/2013-07-02
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.

Programming Commands User Instructions
IDM corded
8© SICK AG · Germany · All rights reserved · Subject to change without notice 8015906/2013-07-02
2Configuration
2.1 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 83 and 84.
2.1.1System 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.
2.1.2 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.
2.1.3 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 83.
2.2 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.

User Instructions Programming Procedures

If the programming family must take “Multiple Scan Selection”, “Cycling Scan Selection”, or “Dual Level
Selection” procedures, the family of the programming menu will be marked with the matched representing
symbol of Programming Category (P.C.) listed in the following table.

2.2.1 Program & End
Please note that the IDM Scanner will take 3-4 seconds to store parameters in internal Flash Memory
ASIC or non-volatile memory after you scan the “END”. Please don’t turn off the power before the
completion beeping. It may destroy all configured parameters.
The scanner will enter programming
mode and inhibit all non-
programming functions.

The scanner will exit programming
mode, and store all parameters in

Code 39 Security Level
The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 39 bar codes:
Level 0: If you are experiencing misread of poorly-printed or serious out-of-spec. bar codes in level 1
please select level 0.
Level 1: If you are experiencing misread of poorly-printed or out-of-spec. bar codes in level 2, please
select level 1.
Level 2: This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing
sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” Code 39 bar codes.
Level 3: If you failed to read poorly-printed or out-of-spec. bar codes in level 2, please select level 3.
This is the most aggressive setting and may increase the misread.
