The Write Mode enables the user to write information into 3M

™

 iD markers. It is also 

possible to edit the information to be written into an iD Marker.
Menu/OK [5:Toggle to MAIN MENU] + Write Mode [SK:1:1]

Step 1.  Select a template from the list on the display 

to be written into the marker by pressing 

the up/down arrows [SK] to highlight the 

preferred template. ‘Last Written /Read’ is  

the most recent data that was written to/read 

from a marker by the locator.

Step 2.  Press View/Edit [SK].

 

− Four Write Mode options will be 

displayed at the bottom of the screen. 

[SK1] Overwrite: Will overwrite any data 

existing on an unlocked marker if ‘Yes’ is 

selected and ‘No’ will prevent overwrite. 

 

− [SK2] X-Type: Choose ‘Yes’ if writing to 

a Gen 2 marker and ‘No’ if writing to a 

Gen 1 marker. Gen 2 markers will have 

an “X” following the serial number that is 

printed on the attached tag. 

 

− [SK3] Marker: Select type of marker to 

be written by repeatedly pressing Marker 

[SK Toggle]. 

 

− [SK4] Lock/Unlocked: Press [SK4] to 

toggle between locking and unlocking 

the marker. The default setting is 

unlocked and note that a locked unit 

cannot be modified once locked. If the 

marker will be locked then a verification 

screen will appear to ensure that the 

marker is locked intentionally.

 

Step 3.  Press Menu/OK

 

− The selected template will be displayed. 

The arrow on the right side of the display 

indicates there is more information than 

can be displayed on the screen (scroll 

down by pressing the down arrow [SK]).

Step 4.  Enter user information that will be written 

to this marker. (See 15.A Modifying Marker 

Data to be Written)
