5 Configuration
This chapter introduces the various tools that users have at their disposal to configure Bluetooth Mobile handheld
scanners, namely IDM set-up tool 4.0, iCode (configuration barcode) and barcode commands. It also discusses
the factory and user default settings.
5.1 Configuring Your Scanner
Below are the different ways to configure or modify the settings on your devices.
IDM set-up tool 4.0
The IDM set-up tool 4.0 is an intuitive, PC-based software tool that is expressly designed for the management
of Mobile handheld scanners. It allows users to set or change device parameters, upgrade firmware, generate
iCodes for single scan configurations, and write programming scripts for advanced data formatting (Data
Script Premium). The IDM set-up tool 4.0can be downloaded from the product page:
The call is made via the SICK Product ID: pid.sick.com/{P/N}/{S/N}
{P/N} corresponds to the part number of the product, see type label.
{S/N} corresponds to the serial number of the product, see type label (if indicated).
iCode
The iCode is a configuration barcode that carries one or several commands. It is generated through the IDM
set-up tool 4.0. Simply choose your desired parameters, and click on the “iCode” button to generate a
comprehensive iCode that integrates them all. Thereafter, scan the iCode to apply these parameters onto your
scanner. Instead of using multiple command barcodes to configure their devices, users can achieve the same
results with one iCode, saving time and effort.
Barcode Commands
Numerous barcode commands are provided to help users set up their devices. Command barcodes can be
found in many documents, but the principal source is the IDM Programming Manual.
5.2 Default Settings
Default settings for the Bluetooth Mobile handheld scanner are as follows:
Factory Default
User Default
5.2.1 Factory Default
Scan the Factory Default barcode to erase all user-defined parameters and set the scanner to back to factory
defaults. Any current pairing will be released and the scanner will become unpaired.
