and the host's USB port.
Note: There are two USB connection options – one is BUS-powered
and the other is externally powered. BUS-powered cable delivers
reduced illumination – approximately 30% less brightness.
ID-30 – Standalone USB Configuration
Note: The ID-40 can be configured as an RS-232 reader with the QX-1 Interface Device.

Important: Cabling and hardware configuration for the MicroHAWK ID-45 is similar to the MicroHAWK
ID-40. See the MicroHAWK ID Configuration Guide, MicroHAWK ID-40 Specification Sheet, and
MicroHAWK ID-45 Specification Sheet for more information.
Step 3 — Mount and Position the Reader
• Position the reader several inches from the symbol. You may need to reposition the reader a few
times to find the ideal distance.
• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results symbols should be aligned
with the field of view. In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement
(ladder orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and will result in more consistent decodes.
Important: Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°. The
illustration below shows approximate skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.

Step 6 — Connect to WebLink (ID-40 and ID-45)
MicroHAWK ID-40 and ID-45 (Static Connection)
1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center on your PC.
2. Click Local Area Connection 4. In the Status dialog, click Properties.
3. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
and click Properties again. Set your PC to a 192.168.188.X IP address (192.168.188.5, for example).
4. Click OK.
5. Open a web browser and type the reader's default IP address (http://192.168.188.2) in the web
browser's address bar.
The reader will connect to WebLink.
MicroHAWK ID-40 and ID-45 (DHCP Network Connection)
1. Plug your reader into the your network adapter.
2. Open ESP Software and connect to the reader via Ethernet TCP/IP.
3. Click Search to find the reader. When the reader appears in the field below the Search and Send
buttons, select it.
4. Change the reader from Static to DHCP and click Send and Save. The camera will reboot and ESP
will search for the reader again.
5. When the reader is found, note the new IP address that is generated.
6. Open a browser and type the new IP address.
WebLink will load.
Step 7 — Explore the Start View
The Start view is the initial view you will see when the WebLink session begins. The connected reader is
shown, along with its user-defined name (must be 19 characters or fewer), IP address, Reader Model,
Serial Number, MAC ID, Firmware Version, Sensor, Optics, Decoder, and Speed. This view allows
you to choose Assisted Setup, to Create a New Setup, or to Load a Setup.
Refer to WebLink Help for information about Advanced Settings and Terminal functionality.
Step 8 — Create a New Setup or Load an Existing Setup
Assisted Setup
When you click the Assisted Setup button in the Start view, a dialog will appear asking you a series of
application-based questions. Based on your answers, WebLink generates your initial setup automatically.
Once the setup is created, you can fine-tune its parameters in the Setup view.
Create a New Setup
The Start view also allows you to create a New Setup without using Assisted Setup. When you click
the Create a New Setup button, WebLink searches for any differences from default in the reader
parameters. If no differences from default are found, you will see the Setup view. If differences from
default are found, an alert will appear asking if you want to restore default settings.
Load a Setup
Select Load Setup to load an existing .json WebLink setup file. You can also load an .esp or .txt file from
Omron Microscan's ESP Software.
