  • Page 6 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.
  • Page 7 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.
  • Page 8 CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. IMPORTANT: The ID-01 is intended for connection to a UL-listed direct plug-in power unit marked Class 2 and rated 5 VDC at 3.5 Watts, or greater if using electrical accessories.

From your PC host computer, you can ini-tiate communications with the scanner by with a terminal communications program such as Hyperterminal™...

    For example, if only the last field in the following command is changing, <K100,4,1,0,0> can be entered as <K100,,,0>. • All fields following a modified field can be omitted. For example, to change Baud Rate, send <K100,3>. 1. Many K command will automatically be saved for power-on. ID-01 Laser Scanner User’s Manual...

    Appendices Appendix G — Symbol Configuration You can configure your scanner by presenting Code 128 symbols that the ID-01 responds to as serial commands. Note: Your scanner does not need to be enabled for Code 128 in order to enter symbol configuration.

  • Page 208: Appendix I Formulas For Number Of Decodes

    Formulas for Number of Decodes Appendix I — Formulas for Number of Decodes To ensure reliable scanning, apply a minimum of five decodes to each symbol. Use the for- mulas below to calculate the number of decodes that your symbol will receive. If the number of decodes you derive from one of these calculations is less than the mini- mum for your application, plug in the minimum number of decodes (5) and solve for another parameter that might be changed, such as scan speed or scans per second.
  • Page 209 Sweep Rate (SR) Sweep rate is the number of raster sweeps (up or down) that occur per second and can be set in di-soric ID. Since the sweep rate cannot exceed 30 you first need to ensure that your application can achieve this by solving Raster pattern for sweep rate.

    • Avoid excessive tilt, pitch, and skew of the symbol. • Check the symbol for readability by doing a decode rate test. If there is any question about the symbol's readability, contact your di-soric representative. • After changing any parameter that might affect decode rate, repeat decode rate test.

    With di-soric devices, selection of interface is made by pin assignment and, in the case of the host communications, by software switching between RS232 and RS422.
