The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner  
projects laser light in order to scan items. Two separate projections, one  
from the horizontal window and one from the vertical window, combine  
to form a zone where bar code labels are read. Refer to the Operation and  
Maintenance section of this manual for more details about the topic: Scan-  
ning Items.  
Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum  
static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more infor-  
mation regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Opera-  
tion and Maintenance section of this manual.

The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as  
1
long as the deviation is within acceptable limits , while compensating for  
any debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automat-  
ically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Addition-  
ally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push  
Button located on the top of the vertical enclosure.  
:DUPꢃ8Sꢀ7LPH  
There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanner or scan-  
ning-scale:  
The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing  
the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.  
NOTE  
7KHUPDOꢀ(TXLOLEULXP  
When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area)  
to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes  
must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to cali-  
bration or operation.  
3RZHUꢃXS  
Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be  
allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.  
8VHUꢀ&RQILJXUDEOHꢀ:DUPꢃXS  
The user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up time  
that is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time,  
the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.  
1. Acceptable limitis of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -0.67 to  
+2.0% of total capacity.

Before installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets the  
scanning-scale’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for com-  
patibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges  
from 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will sup-  
ply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of  
excess electrical noise.  
Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale. If the cord  
will not plug into your AC power receptacle, the power cord shipped is  
not compatible with your electrical system. Please contact your distributor  
immediately to receive the necessary information and components to  
ensure electrical compatibility.

Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1  
(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser  
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:  
User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than  
cleaning of the scan windows is required.  
Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa  
laser product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B Visible  
Laser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an  
opto-mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated  
power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10  
seconds. Maximum emitted peak output power at the lower win-  
dow is 850µW. No attempt should be made by the user to remove  
the protective housing of the scanning-scale.  
Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and vertical scan windows  
are the only apertures through which laser light may be observed  
in this product.  
Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown not  
to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after mil-  
lions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser tech-  
nology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.  
Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions  
and warnings:  
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those  
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.  
The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. (Opti-  
cal instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magnifying  
glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).  
CAUTION  
To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the  
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your scanner or scanning-  
scale.  
ꢂꢃꢂꢍ  
0DJHOODQ ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢃꢀ6FDQQHU  
 
Safety precautions to be taken:  
No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to be  
attempted by the user.  
The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laser  
beam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation.  
The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary  
laser beam is ever emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected from its  
power supply until repaired by a qualified technician.  
CAUTION  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class  
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when  
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment gener-  
ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential  
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be  
required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.  
WARNING  
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian  
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.  
Cet appareil numerique de la classe A respecte toute les exigences du  
Reglement sur le material broilleur du Canada.

This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive  
the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and  
instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation consider-  
ations, cable routing information and unit installation.  
Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.  
The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation, detail steps for  
the three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facili-  
tate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the  
world:  
Model 8500 — Short Scanner  
Model 8501 — Long Scanner  
Model 8502 — Long Scanning-Scale  
Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into open-  
ings cut for previously installed scanners such as other PSC® Magellan®  
scanners, or NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models are  
designed for applications with smaller footprint requirements.  
Once the procedures in this section are complete, the scanner is ready for  
operation; with the exception that if a scanning-scale was installed, cali-  
bration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must  
consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure that all legal  
requirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Section 5,  
Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating the scale in either  
pounds or kilograms.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the incidence of repetitive  
motion injuries has increased dramatically in recent years. Checkstand  
design and scanner installation and operation procedures can reduce the  
risk of repetitive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.  
Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergo-  
nomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Institute of  
Occupational Safety (NIOSH) of the Department of Health and Human  
Services have released the reports listed at the end of these recommenda-  
tions. These reports contain useful suggestions for ergonomic improve-  
ment of checkstand designs and scanner installation, maintenance and  
usage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of the  
complete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommen-  
dations, contact FMI and NIOSH at the addresses listed at the end of  
these recommendations.

1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle  
groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use both  
hands for scanning and bagging).  
2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an  
input belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart.  
These designs put less stress on the cashiers’ shoulders and back.  
3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away convey-  
ors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the prod-  
ucts).  
4. Minimize the width of the input conveyor to reduce the cashier’s  
reach to items on the far side of the belt; use a diverter to direct  
products closer to the cashier.  
5. Select a design which encourages the cashier to slide products  
across the scanner rather than gripping and lifting. Make sure the  
horizontal surface of the scanner is flush with all surrounding sur-  
faces.  
6. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to elimi-  
nate extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.  
7. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height 13 - 17 inches  
(33 - 43.2 cm) lower than the top surface of the checkstand to  
reduce stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated with  
lifting products into bags.  
8. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scan-  
ner, due to the increased reach involved.  
9. Position the scanner’s horizontal scanning surface 34 - 36 inches  
(86.4 - 91.4 cm) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of five  
inches (12.7 cm) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.  
10. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizon-  
tal reach).  
11. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devices  
the cashier uses within easy reach (less than 18 inches/45.7 cm).  
12. Provide adequate toe space, foot rests or rails, antifatigue mats,  
and where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which the  
cashiers can lean.

1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the coun-  
tertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting.  
2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3  
- 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side).

1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and  
reduce rescans.  
2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.

1. Minimize handling of heavy/bulky products. Leave these items in  
the cart and use an alternative entry method such as key entry of  
short PLUs, or handheld scanning.  
2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergo-  
nomics principles, such as:  
Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing  
work equally between hands.  
Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.  
2-4  
0DJHOODQ ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢃꢀ6FDQQHU  
       
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top  
and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either  
of the scanner windows.  
Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster  
hand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’s  
horizontal window with as little orientation motion as neces-  
sary.  
Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt.  
Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area  
is located.  
Do not favor either the vertical or horizontal window; slide  
items across the scanner in their natural orientations on the  
checkstand as much as possible.

Consider the following factors before installing the scanner/scanning-scale  
and its optional Remote Scale Display.  
Ventilation Requirements. The scanner operates without the use of a  
ventilation fan. As long as there is adequate convective air flow and no  
major heat producing equipment in close proximity, the unit’s housing  
provides adequate heat dissipation. The air temperature in the checkstand  
around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).  
Service Access Requirements. Routine operations such as ‘zeroing’  
and calibration do not require removal of the scanner from the checkstand  
or disassembly of the product. The installer should plan service access for  
the AC/DC Power Supply and cables.  
Recommended Power Installation. Since the typical grocery environ-  
ment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken to  
ensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power without  
excessive electrical noise). A wiring diagram shows the recommended wir-  
ing that will provide the scanner with a “clean” source of power. Refer to  
Figure 2-4.  
3URGXFWꢀ5HIHUHQFHꢀ*XLGH  
2-5  
 
Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are  
designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section  
focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand  
take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two  
configurations.  
Liquid Drainage. Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can  
flow through the checkstand without pooling.  
Leveling. Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand mounts  
and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or scanning-  
scale within the counter. Use a 0.375” thick board to replicate the mount-  
ing flange on the long scanner or scanning-scale, and adjust screws or bolts  
until the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0” wide board stood on  
its end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.  
Cable Routing. Placement of the scanning-scale should be planned to  
allow easy access to other components as well as optimize communication  
between the scanner, the POS terminal and the optional Remote Scale  
Display. Note that cables may drop straight down from the scanner’s con-  
nector panel, or may be conveniently routed along the unit’s side using the  
hardware provided. Do not route interface cables near any electrical  
motors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.  
Remote Scale Display Placement. The customer, and checker in some  
instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Display.  
Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed later in  
this section.  
Vertical Clearance. Provision must be made to allow adequate space  
above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of the All  
Weighs™ Platter (the L-shaped platter). Optimal clearance permits the  
platter to be grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal without  
obstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclosure).  
Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter  
removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical  
clearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2).  
Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstruc-  
tions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.

The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade-  
quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the  
weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows the debris chutes and ventilation  
slots. The checkstand design must allow:  
The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to  
the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).  
A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air  
flow.  
DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed checkstand. Pro-  
vide a MINIMUM of 16 square inches (103.2 square centimeters) of air intake  
from below the installation for sufficient convective cooling.  
NOTE  
If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located  
near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installa-  
tions, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air move-  
ment. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may  
be washed or replaced is recommended.

The scanner and scanning-scale have been engineered to allow perfor-  
mance of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and cali-  
bration) without removing the scanner from the checkstand. Additionally  
all cable connections made at the scanner can be connected and removed  
while the unit is sitting on the countertop. The installer should provide  
service access to all remaining cable connectors as well as the AC/DC  
Power Supply (if installed).

Reference Figure 2-5. When performing a first time installation into a  
new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for  
cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take  
extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may  
require installation of support(s), countertop routing, or other such  
devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you may wish to install an  
item diverter to direct items toward the scan window. See the instructions  
in this manual titled “Counter Cutout” for more details concerning the  
location and preparation of the opening.

Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs  
liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.  
&RXQWHUꢀ&XWRXW  
The most important consideration when planning the counter opening  
for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal,  
ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy  
reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of  
items. If you haven’t already read the information at the beginning of this  
section titled, Pre-Installation Considerations, please do so before continu-  
ing these instructions.  
The symmetrical design of the scanner permits the operator to easily pass  
items from one hand to the other while scanning (either from right-to-left  
or left-to-right). With the unique 360- scan zone, scanning is accom-  
plished in one fluid motion. The operator simply slides the item from the  
conveyor belt or diverter area through the scanning area and passes the  
item to the other hand, which in turn bags it or places it on a take-away  
conveyor belt. Movement should flow naturally over the surface of the  
scanner.  
Note that the following guidelines for preparing an existing checkstand to  
accept a scanner, or incorporating the unit into a new checkstand design  
will not be accurate for all installations. Although these guidelines will suf-  
fice for most standard installations, the installer may need to make adjust-  
ments for varying counter heights and thicknesses, support design, or  
other checkstand limitations.  
Figure 2-6 shows a typical “left-hand-take-away” checkstand design.  
Follow these basic steps to install the unit:  
1. Select a position for the scanner that offers a smooth product flow  
which best accommodates the reaching distance of the average  
operator.  
2. Cut the opening in the countertop. Select the appropriate draw-  
ing from Figure 2-7, or Figure 2-8 for your model.  
3. Install the AC/DC Power Supply, the Remote Scale Display cable  
and the interface cable(s) observing the following:  
3URGXFWꢀ5HIHUHQFHꢀ*XLGH  
2-11  
   
Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be  
routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like  
motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’s  
power cable if possible.  
Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replace-  
ment is required. A little planning now will save a lot of frus-  
tration later.  
4. Connect and verify all system operations.  
The scanner should be installed so that leading and trailing edges of the  
All Weighs™ Platter are flush with the countertop to enhance smooth,  
slide-through scanning (reference the insert in Figure 2-6). Keep in mind  
that the debris chutes on both sides of the platter provide the necessary  
clearance for proper scale operation if you are installing a scanning-scale  
(you won’t need to provide an additional gap for that).

There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit  
into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capac-  
ity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when cal-  
culating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as  
maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.  
If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75” (1.9 cm) ply-  
wood, you’ll need to add a backing strip that supports the area routed out for  
the support flanges (see Figure 2-5). This support strip should minimally be  
made of 0.75” (1.9 cm) thick plywood and be approximately 4.0” (10.2 cm)  
wide and 14.0” (35.6 cm) long. This strip should be glued as well as screwed  
to the underside of the countertop.  
NOTE  
,QVWDOODWLRQꢀ2YHUYLHZ  
The preceding Site Preparation Overview dealt with installed location and  
counter preparations to accommodate the scanner or scanning-scale. Hav-  
ing completed those steps, physical installation of the scanner or scanning-  
scale can begin. The following instructions apply to all models.  
This section describes:  
1. Unpacking the unit.  
2. Verifying operation before connecting to a POS system.  
3. Routing and connecting cables.  
4. Validating that your scanner communication parameters match  
the POS terminal’s system requirements.  
5. Functional testing to verify operation when connected to the  
POS system.  
The following text describes each of these steps.

To unpack the unit:  
Inspect the package for signs of damage that may have occurred  
during shipping. If damage is found, report it to your carrier  
immediately.

0DJHOODQ ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢃꢀ6FDQQHU  
     
Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply,  
optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the  
Quick Reference Guide.  
Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with  
the unit’s controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand  
Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the unit from the  
carton. Be sure to save the box and all packing material. In the  
event of failure, the unit must be returned to the factory in its  
original packaging.  
Carefully lift off the All Weighs™ Platter as shown in  
Figure 2-17 and remove the protective foam pieces securing the  
weigh mechanism. Set the platter back in place.  
For added protection during shipment, the All Weighs™ Platter is covered  
with a tight-fitting layer of vinyl as shown in Figure 2-9. This vinyl layer  
MUST BE REMOVED before placing the unit into service.

Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is  
fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to  
your POS system.  
1. If the unit is a scanning-scale, connect the Remote Scale Display  
to the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to  
Figure 2-13). Note that if the Remote Scale Display is not con-  
nected, a scanner power-up Selftest will sound a long, low beep,  
and the number “8” will appear on the 7-segment display indicat-  
ing a remote display error. Power-down, connect a known-good  
Remote Display to the appropriate port, and restart to correct this  
problem. Alternatively, you can disable the Remote Display using  
programming bar codes (see Section 6, Programming for more  
information).  
2. Connect the power cable at the scanner then at the AC outlet.  
When power is applied to the unit, the normal indicator sequence is:  
The green light will be lit (dim) steadily.  
If the Selftest detects a problem, the 7-segment display will dis-  
play a number code. Refer to Section 4, Problem Isolation, for a  
description of failure codes and problem isolation procedures.  
Scale calibration may be necessary to obtain a zero reading on the display  
on rare occasions.  
NOTE  
3. The unit should be permitted to reach thermal equilibrium  
before proceeding to the next steps. (Reference the topic Warm-  
Up Time in Section 1.) When the unit is moved from a cooler  
temperature (such as a storage area) to a warmer environment  
(such as a checkstand location), a period of 60 minutes must be  
allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions. Once  
installed and powered up, a “power-up” warm-up period of 15  
minutes must be allowed before calibrating or performing weigh-  
ing operations. These two warm-up periods may run concur-  
rently.  
2-18  
0DJHOODQ ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢃꢀ6FDQQHU  
 
4. Verify that the scanner or scanning-scale passes an operational test  
by observing the following:  
Scanner. Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner’s win-  
dows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS  
terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two  
labels (see the note that follows). The scanner indicates when each  
label has been successfully read by flashing the green scanner light  
and emitting a good read tone (beep).  
When not connected to the host, the scanner may be limited to reading only  
one or two labels. (This limitation is dependent upon the interface type.) To  
scan multiple labels without connecting to the host, place the unit in Scanner  
Diagnostic Mode by pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button for four seconds.  
NOTE  
Scale. If the Yellow LED is not lit, press the Scale Zero Push Button  
momentarily. If the scale is operating correctly, the yellow LED  
will illuminate and remain on steady, and the display will show a  
reading of 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric). If the display is blank or  
a
is displayed, it may be necessary to calibrate the scale  
before continuing. Refer to Section 5, Calibration, for calibration  
procedures.  
Remote Scale Display. Check to verify that 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for met-  
ric) is displayed, then place an item on the weighing platter. Ver-  
ify that the display shows a weight and that the yellow LED goes  
out. Remove the item and observe that Remote Scale Display  
shows 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric) and that the yellow LED is  
On.  
5. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet and disconnect the  
power cord and Remote Scale Display cable from the scanner’s  
connector panel.  
After you have verified that the scanner and scale (if present) are com-  
pletely functional, continue with the following procedures to complete the  
installation.  
3URGXFWꢀ5HIHUHQFHꢀ*XLGH  
2-19  
'LDJQRVWLFꢀ0RGHV  
Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or  
scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner’s ability to read bar  
codes.  
6FDQQHUꢀ'LDJQRVWLFꢀ0RGH  
While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is  
allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes  
while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner  
stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host. When  
the scanner is not connected to a host, it may read and store only up to  
two labels, then quit reading until power is cycled (clearing the memory).  
This mode of operation removes this limitation.  
To place the scanner in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, press the Volume/Tone  
Push Button for approximately four seconds. While pressing the button,  
the scanner will first sound three tones, wait a few seconds, then sound six  
rapid tones; after which you should immediately release the button.

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, identification numbers for interface  
type, firmware and configuration will scroll continually across the scan-  
ner’s 7-segment FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) display. This is useful infor-  
mation for field diagnostics. See Figure 4-1 for the location of the display.  
For example, if the dual cable RS-232 interface (type 05) were enabled,  
the firmware designation was R96-1234, and the configuration was R96-  
5593, the following would be shown (slowly, with blanking between each  
of the items):  
IF-05 r96-1234 r96-5593.  
To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the unit or press and  
hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner.

To enter Scale Diagnostic Mode, press the Scale Zero Push Button for  
approximately four seconds. Six rapid tones will be sounded, indicating  
the unit is leaving normal operation and entering Scale Diagnostic Mode.  
The Remote Display will flash a ‘1’ across the display while the dignostic  
routine is being run. When diagnostics are completed successfully, the dis-  
play will indicate that the unit has passed the diagnostic test by displaying  
PASS

Considerations when routing the power and interface cables for the scan-  
ner and scanning-scale are:  
Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or pierced.  
Do not route interface cables in close proximity to electrical  
motors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.  
Cables can drop directly from their connectors on the scanner, or,  
alternatively, can be routed along the scanner’s side to the back  
(see Figure 2-10).  
Do not plug the AC power cord into the outlet at this time. It is a good  
practice to always connect the power cable to the scanner first before plug-  
ging it into the AC receptacle. The procedures titled, Set-Up, provided  
later in this section will instruct you to connect the power cord at that  
time. Figure 2-10 illustrates the basic cable routing scheme.

When installing the optional Remote Scale Display, consider both the cus-  
tomer’s viewing angle and the amount of daily ambient light conditions  
anticipated at this installation site. Figure 2-12 shows available adjustment  
for the display head.  
/LJKWLQJꢀ&RQVLGHUDWLRQV  
The display will be easily readable unless placed in direct sunlight or other  
very strong light sources. Light interference will not be a factor in most  
installations.

The optimum viewing angle is directly facing the customer. To ensure that  
the display is easily readable for the majority of your customers, the dis-  
play should be approximately 48 to 60” (122 to 152 cm) from the floor.  
Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper posi-  
tioning of scale displays used in retail trade.

The connector at the Remote Scale Display end is secured with a rubber  
band during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs” (see  
Figure 2-14). After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before the  
cable end connecting to the Remote Scale Display head. Failure to remove  
the band will keep the connector from latching properly when it is connected  
to Remote Scale Display port.

Your scanning-scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds  
or kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was  
specified when you ordered your scanning-scale. If you need to change  
from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call technical support.  
You can verify that the scale is set correctly for your country’s requirements  
by observing that the Remote Scale Display shows the appropriate mea-  
surement symbol (lb or kg) when the power-up Selftest is completed.  
Any time the scale weighing mode is changed, the scale must be  
re-calibrated before commercial use.  
LEGAL NOTE  
6HWꢃ8Sꢀ;ꢀ,QVWDOODWLRQ  
These setup and installation procedures assume that you have already pre-  
pared your checkstand to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. If you have  
not already made the counter cutout and routed power and interface  
cables, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your check-  
stand has been prepared, proceed as follows:  
6HWꢃXS  
1. Place the unit on the checkstand next to the counter cutout.  
2. Route the cables up through the cutout and connect the scanner  
and scale interface cable(s), and Remote Scale Display cable  
(optional) to the scanner. Some POS terminals require two inter-  
face cables; one for the scanner interface and one for the scale  
interface. Refer to Figure 2-16 for cable connection locations.  
If you have a scanner with no scale, there will be only one interface cable  
to the POS terminal.  
3. Connect the power cord to the scanner and route the other end  
down through the checkstand to the AC power outlet. DO NOT  
plug the power cord in at this time.

3. Hook the fingers of both hands into the lift handles located along  
the insides of the scanner walls, just above the debris chutes as  
shown in Figure 2-18. DO NOT attempt to lift the unit using  
the plastic edges, scale frame, or any features other than the lift  
handles.  
4. Lower the unit into the counter opening, ensuring that none of  
the cables are pinched, pierced or crimped.  
5. Re-install the All Weighs™ Platter and verify that it is flush or  
just below flush with the countertop. This is necessary to provide  
smooth scanning from either direction. Make adjustments as  
needed to align the platter with the counter by moving support  
rails up or down, or consider installing screws in positions that  
will allow their use in adjusting the unit’s position.  
Failure to install a scanning-scale in a stable and level position will inhibit  
weighing, calibration and zeroing operations. The platter MUST make unob-  
structed contact with all of its supports for proper weighing operation.  
NOTE  
6. Once installation is complete, proceed with the Operational Veri-  
fication procedures that follow.

The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the require-  
ments of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down  
(switch off) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your  
System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper  
power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when  
connecting any peripheral device.  
If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system,  
follow these steps.  
1. Power-down the POS terminal.  
2. Ensure that power is disconnected from the scanner.  
3. Connect the scanner and scale interface cables to your POS ter-  
minal. This connection may use one or two cables depending  
upon your POS terminal interface.  
4. Connect the Remote Display cable if your model is a scanning-  
scale and make any connections to optional equipment, such as  
EAS or a handheld scanner.  
5. Power-up the scanner or scanning-scale by connecting the power  
Selftest routine (10 seconds maximum).  
6. Power-up the POS terminal.  
7. Verify that both scanning and weighing data are properly com-  
municated between the scanner and your POS system. (Weigh  
and scan a few items.) If problems are encountered, refer to  
Section 4, Problem Isolation.  
8. You have now completed installation and system integration of  
the scanner or scanning-scale. At this point, the scale must be cal-  
ibrated and certified in accordance with the requirements of your  
state and/or local requirements. Refer to Section 5, Calibration,  
for calibration procedures.

The information contained in this section describes how to operate and  
maintain the scanner and scale. Topics include “how to’s” on scanning,  
weighing, re-zeroing the scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the  
upper and lower windows.

To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone  
as shown in Figure 3-1. The scanner will work equally well with either a  
left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is no  
need to reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner can “see” the left,  
right, front and back side, as well as the top and bottom of an item.  
“Limited Scanning Mode” is entered by default by interfaces such as USB and  
IBM until a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal enables scanning. Labels are “chirped”  
while in this mode.

The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhance-  
ments for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these  
advancements:  
Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency:  
Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1).  
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and  
bottom, don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan win-  
dows. Keep items in their natural orientation.  
Remember to slide or push items rather than picking them up. By  
avoiding any gripping, twisting and rotation of your hands and  
wrists, you can prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique  
also relieves you from lifting possibly thousands of pounds per  
day.  
Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work  
equally between hands.  
Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.  
Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand  
movements.  
Learn typical locations for bar codes on packages; avoid “flipping”  
or rotating the items during scanning.  
Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is  
located.

1. The L-shaped All-Weighs™ platter allows you to place items  
anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical sec-  
tion, to be weighed accurately. The raised “Produce Rail” also  
provides a convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the  
counter or other non-weighing surfaces. (Reference Figure 3-2.)  
It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be  
accurately recorded.

The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in  
Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for  
full details.  
2SHUDWLRQDOꢀ0RGHV  
The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are impor-  
tant to both the user and the system support personnel. These modes can  
be combined into three groups: pre-operational, operational; and addi-  
tional functions. The following text describes these modes, what they  
mean, and how and when they are seen.  
3RZHUꢃ8Sꢎ6HOIWHVWꢀ;ꢀ3UHꢃ2SHUDWLRQꢀ  
Pre-Operation describes those steps that must be successfully completed  
before the scanner sounds the initial good read tone and illuminates the  
lamps indicating the scanner and/or scale are ready for operation. These  
steps include Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and Operational Con-  
figuration.  
3RZHUꢃ8Sꢎ6HOIWHVWꢀ  
Power-Up Selftest begins when power is applied. The scanner’s software  
immediately begins the testing sequence to verify that all systems are func-  
tioning properly. This routine, which only takes a few seconds, checks all  
the functions of the scanner, scale, remote scale display and interface prior  
to indicating that it is ready for operation.  
A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See the topic  
Power-up Beep Control in the Programming section of this manual.

(UURUꢀ5HSRUWLQJ  
If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not  
advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the  
unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7-  
segment display indicating where the failure occurred. These messages are  
coded to assist the repair technician in identifying the failed component.  
If an error is indicated, make note of it and contact your supervisor or  
technical support representative. A table containing descriptions of these  
error codes is included in Section 4, Problem Isolation.  
1
If a non-fatal error is detected (such as the loss of one of the two lasers),  
the unit will sound a long, low tone and display a number on the 7-seg-  
ment display. The unit will advance to Normal Operating Mode, but per-  
formance may be affected until a correction or repair is made.  
2SHUDWLRQDOꢀ&RQILJXUDWLRQ  
Once Selftest diagnostics have been successfully run, a tone is emitted (if  
configured to do so, and the unit enters an operational configuration state.  
The scanner or scanner/scale will automatically load your specific interface  
settings which are required to communicate with the host system. There  
are two conditions that must be met before the unit can enter Operating  
Mode:  
No bar code label can be in the scan volume while the unit is in  
this state. Progress is halted until the label has been removed,  
thereby ensuring that no extraneous bar code data is send to the  
host.  
If your scanner has a scale, the scale cannot be in motion (usually  
caused by excessive vibration in the checkstand) for this test to  
succeed. A “Scale in Motion” status will be indicated by display-  
ing a period and the applicable weight unit (lb  
kg ) that is selected.  
or  
.
lb  
.
kg  
The scale must be able to “capture” zero weight. The  
display will be seen if there is a weight on the platter  
at power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero  
Push Button should allow the scale to find zero.

for more details.

When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success-  
fully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Oper-  
ating Mode.  
2SHUDWLQJꢀ0RGH  
Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning and weighing)  
and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the  
user/operator.  
1RUPDOꢀ2SHUDWLRQꢀ  
This condition is indicated by the green light being on dim and steady.  
For scanner/scale models, the yellow light indicates that the scale senses a  
weight of zero on the platter. If you have a scanner without scale model,  
the yellow lamp will not be lit when the scanner is ready for scanning.  
Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be pro-  
grammed to operate in the standard manner described above.  
NOTE  
Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown  
sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called  
1
time-out ), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to pro-  
long the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scan-  
ner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.  
6OHHSꢀ0RGHꢀ  
After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser  
and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called  
Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking  
at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhere on the weigh  
platter (scanner/scale models only), press the Volume Selection switch or  
wave your hand in front of the vertical window. The unit will recognize  
any of these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal  
Operation.  
1. “Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selected through  
use of the programming labels included in Section 6, Programming.

Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running  
scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and cali-  
brating the scale.  
3URJUDPPLQJ  
When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is con-  
figured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the  
bar code symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configu-  
ration information for any reason, Section 6, Programming, contains spe-  
cial bar code labels for changing the unit’s settings.  
'LDJQRVWLFꢀ0RGH  
Refer to Section 2, Diagnostic Modes for details about running scanner and  
scale diagnostics. Turn to Section 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of  
error codes resulting from diagnostics.  
6FDQQHUꢀDQGꢀ6FDOHꢀ5HVHW  
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/  
scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary  
to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset  
command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has  
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.  
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit’s internal Selftest rou-  
tine.  
Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately  
eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of  
beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the  
motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the  
scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa-  
tion, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation earlier in this sec-  
tion.

The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first,  
and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets  
the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of - 0.2  
pounds (- 1.25 grams) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration.  
While the ‘at rest’ reading remains within the zero range, the scale will  
automatically adjust itself to true zero. The scale also automatically zeros  
itself on power-up if the weight present on the scale is within these defined  
limits.  
=HURLQJꢀWKHꢀ6FDOH  
The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store per-  
sonnel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Push Button should return  
the scale to Normal Operation. If the zero point moves out of the zero  
range due to debris accumulation or other causes, pressing the Scale Zero  
Push Button will not reset the zero point. In this case the weigh platter  
must be cleaned, debris chutes cleared of debris or the scale must be recal-  
ibrated.  
With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:  
1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the scanner/  
scale.  
2. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. (See Figure 1-1).

The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference  
weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale  
is set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 - 30 pounds, and, if your scale  
is set for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 - 15 kilograms. The scale  
must be calibrated upon initial installation, whenever the scale cannot be  
zeroed, when the scale diagnostics indicate a calibration error, when the  
weighing measure (pounds or kilograms) is changed, or when the scale  
module has been replaced.  
1. Zero light operation is configurable.

Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be veri-  
fied and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas of the  
United States, the scale calibration switch must be sealed before being  
placed into service. Consult the agency responsible for regulating weigh-  
ing devices in your area to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regula-  
tory requirements. Section 5, Calibration, describes the calibration  
sequence and verification process.  
Calibration can only be performed if the tamper seal that secures access to  
the Calibration Switch is broken and the switch cover is removed. Break-  
ing the seal may legally render the scale inoperable until it has been recerti-  
fied and a new seal attached. Consult your local regulations before  
removing the calibration seal if you are unsure of the legal requirements.  
Although the scale will physically continue to weigh products, a broken  
seal may require recertification by a proper authority as designated by your  
local laws.

The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many  
years. The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or  
scanner/scale operating at peak performance.  
Cleaning the Weigh Platter and Scan Windows. Clean the exterior sur-  
faces of the horizontal and vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a  
nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free  
cleaning tissues. The textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also be  
cleaned using the same cleaning agents.  
Cleaning the Air Gap/Debris Chutes & Drip Rail. Daily, clear the debris  
chutes between the platter and the outer housing. Most items can be  
cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a thin stiff object like a  
credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If necessary, remove the  
top cover to clear the debris chutes and drip rail.

2. If the top edge of the platter is blocked, you may find it easier to  
grasp the platter vertical bezel as shown in Figure 3-3b.  
Use caution to avoid damage to the now exposed horizontal and vertical  
scan windows. If cleaning of these windows is necessary, use a nonabrasive,  
mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free cleaning tis-  
sues and take care to avoid scratching these windows (damage to the win-  
dows can degrade scanning performance).  
NOTE  
3. The vertical scan window is held in place by two tabs each on its  
top and bottom edges. To remove it, carefully push out on the top  
as shown in Figure 3-4 and lift it out. Carefully dispose of any  
damaged glass.

4. Fully seat the new vertical scan window into the window channel  
within its bottom retention tabs. Tilt the window in to engage the  
two tabs at the top of the retainer and carefully snap the window  
to secure it in place.  
5. Clean both sides of the new vertical scan window using a paper  
towel or lint free cleaning tissues dampened with a mild, water-  
based glass cleaner. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads.

Wear Resistant Glass (WRG) horizontal scan windows are replaceable and  
can be removed and replaced following the instructions below.  
Sapphire glass does not require replacement, so it is permanently fastened  
in place. Do not attempt to remove Sapphire glass from the platter.  
NOTE  
1. Remove the All Weighs™ Platter from the scanner as shown in  
Figure 3-3.  
2. Turn the platter upside down on a clean, dry surface and remove  
the four screws shown in Figure 3-5. Retain all screws for later re-  
installation.  
3. Once the vertical bezel is freed from the platter, the WRG win-  
dow can be slid from its channel as shown. Carefully dispose of  
any damaged glass.  
4. Slide a new WRG window fully into the channel.  
5. Re-install the vertical bezel using the original four screws.  
6. Clean both sides of the new WRG window using a paper towel or

In the event of a suspected functional problem, use the troubleshooting  
references provided in this section. This useful information will help you  
to identify and resolve the cause of the problem.  
The scanner/scale has a number of features that indicate when a scanner or  
scale problem occurs. The unit may:  
emit a series of tones  
light the 7-segment (FRU status) display  
flash the Green and/or Yellow LEDs  
display error codes on the Remote Display (if installed)  
Three error reporting modes are used: Power-Up Selftest, Operational  
tests and Diagnostic tests. These test sequences are explained on the fol-  
lowing pages.  
3RZHUꢃ8Sꢀ6HOIWHVW  
The Power-up Selftest is a pre-operational series of tests that must be suc-  
cessfully completed before the scanner indicates readiness for operation.  
This pre-operational period is the time between power-up and normal  
operation during which the motor comes up-to-speed and software, firm-  
ware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems  
are fully functional before turning on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD).  
Refer to the Section 3 subsection titled, Operational Modes for a more  
detailed description of this and other scanner and scale modes.  
2SHUDWLRQDOꢀ7HVWV  
These are the tests that run continually during Normal Operation and  
Sleep Mode. Firmware checks all subsystems, accessory connections and  
the POS interface to verify everything is operating normally. If a problem  
is detected at any time, a long, low tone is sounded, an error code is shown  
on the 7-segment display, and operation may be halted. If you press the  
Volume/Tone Push Button at that time, a series of tones will be sounded  
that matches the error code displayed.

'LDJQRVWLFꢀ7HVWV  
See Section 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running diagnostic tests  
for the scanner and/or scale. If a problem is discovered during diagnostics,  
the scanner will provide feedback about the source of the problem. The  
remainder of this section describes these failure indications and includes  
troubleshooting flowcharts to help isolate the problem.  
'LDJQRVWLFꢀ3URFHGXUHV  
Your Point-Of-Sale (POS) system may contain many components that  
operate as a system. Since almost all scanner or scale problems are caused  
by either the scanner, scale, POS terminal or communication links  
between them, these troubleshooting flowcharts focus on these compo-  
nents. Additionally, the optional Remote Scale Display, AC/DC Power  
Supply and their cables are potential problems addressed in this section.  
The flowcharts provided in this section walk you through a diagnostic  
process that will isolate the failed component and instruct as to the correc-  
tive action required. Since internal scanner and scale components cannot  
be replaced by an operator or installer, most functional errors will require  
the assistance of a trained technical support person. However, if the prob-  
lem is caused by faulty cable, power supply or remote display, you can fix  
the problem by replacing the defective component and complete the  
installation.

If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three  
seconds) and alternately flash its LEDs, indicating a failure. When this  
occurs, press the Volume/Tone Push button to display the error code on  
the 7-segment display (refer to Figure 4-1). If it is configured to do so, the  
scanner will also sound a series of beeps corresponding to the error code.  
The table below describes what these codes mean and what action should  
be taken for each.  
When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections  
first before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.

A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:  
at initial installation of the scanner/scale  
if the scale cannot be re-zeroed  
if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or  
vice-versa  
if diagnostics indicate a calibration error  
the weigh module has been replaced  
Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/  
scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.  
Certification of the scanner/scale’s weighing apparatus is subject to  
Federal, State and Local Weights and Measures statutes and is  
restricted to authorized government agencies and/or duly registered  
agents thereof. Anytime a scale is calibrated, it should be properly  
sealed with a lead and wire or paper seal before being placed into ser-  
vice.  
LEGAL NOTE  
It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate authorities in  
your area to ensure compliance with pertinent regulations before  
removing any official seals or placing a newly calibrated scanner/scale  
into service.

'HVFULSWLRQꢀRIꢀ&DOLEUDWLRQꢀ6HTXHQFH  
The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for  
weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set  
(31.5-pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric.  
Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses  
the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities.  
These verification procedures follow the U.S. National Institute of Stan-  
dards and Technology 44 Handbook guidelines for bench/counter scale  
installations.  
If any of these tests fail to meet the required weight indications, you must  
calibrate the scanner/scale. Refer to the calibration procedures in this sec-  
tion for the proper procedures.  
You may be required by state and/or local regulations to have procedures  
other than these performed by a certified technician or verification offi-  
cial.  
Access to the calibration switch should be restricted with a paper or a wire  
and lead seal after the calibration has been performed if required by your  
local regulatory agency.  
The Calibration Sequence must be performed without removing the scanner/  
scale from its installed position.  
NOTE  
The following tools and supplies will be required to perform the calibra-  
tion process:  
1
31.5 pound Field Standard Weight Set .  
(English calibration only).  
2
18.5 kilogram Field Standard Weight Set .  
(Metric calibration only).  
Lead/Wire or Paper Seal (as required by law).  
1. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a  
combination of weights from this set. eg. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two

This test verifies that the scanner/scale automatic zero setting mechanism  
is operating correctly.  
1. Place 0.007 pounds (4 grams for metric) on the center of the  
weighing platform. The entire weight must be placed on the  
weighing platform at once for this test to be valid. The Yellow  
LED should go Off and the Remote Display should read 0.01  
pounds (0.005 kilograms).  
The scanner/scale has an adaptive zero capture mechanism that re-zeros the  
scale over time if there is a slow change in the zero level; thus if all the  
weight is not placed on the weighing surface at one time, the Yellow LED will  
remain On and the Remote Display will read 0.00 pounds (0.000 kilograms).  
When the weight is removed, the Yellow LED will turn off and the display will

The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow you  
to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner (scan-  
ner/scale). To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the  
programming bar codes in this manual and other product-specific publi-  
cations to program scanner features.  
This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of all  
levels to find the information needed to understand and configure fea-  
tures. The following descriptions will help you to determine where to go  
from here.  
8QGHUVWDQGLQJꢀWKHꢀ%DVLFV  
If you have little or no prior experience with programming using bar code  
labels, you should review the first few pages of this section to familiarize  
yourself with the basics of scanner programming before performing any  
changes to your configuration.

Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface  
board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Con-  
tact your dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner’s  
hardware compatibility.  
You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if  
you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the fac-  
tory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for spe-  
cific interface types (see Appendix E, Factory Defaults for more  
information); however, your scanner may have been custom configured  
with settings that are unique to your company or application.  
3URGXFWꢀ5HIHUHQFHꢀ*XLGH

Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what  
changes will be required to allow communication with your host system  
and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installa-  
tion. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this section,  
then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program  
the scanner.  
When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scan-  
ner is ready to be placed into operation.  
&XVWRPL]LQJꢀ<RXUꢀ6FDQQHU¶Vꢀ2SHUDWLRQ  
Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:  
General Scanner and Scale Features - are features common to all  
interface types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as vol-  
ume and length, read verification settings, etc.  
Interface Related Features - are the mandatory settings necessary  
to allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of  
these settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.  
It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the interface type (for  
example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care should be taken to select the  
correct interface type, since you can cause damage to the scanner and/or  
POS terminal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS  
make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.  
CAUTION  
Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the current inter-  
face. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface.  
The scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming labels for  
features invalid to the current interface group.  
NOTE  
Symbology Programming - gives the scanner the capability to  
autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all available sym-  
bologies. For optimal scanner performance enable only those  
symbologies required. Additionally the scanner may be pro-  
grammed with the standard options available for the various sym-  
bologies, such as check digit, minimum label length, fixed and  
variable length bar codes, etc.

The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom-  
modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu-  
nicated to the scanner in one of two ways:  
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of  
host commands are available. Refer to Appendix D for more  
details or contact Tech Support.  
2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner is to  
use the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programmining Kit. Ask  
your dealer for more information about this product.  
3. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scan-  
ner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code  
labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s fea-  
tures and options.  
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scan-  
ner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory  
defaults.  
NOTE  
3URJUDPPLQJꢀYLDꢀ+DQGKHOGꢀ'HYLFH  
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a  
handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability  
to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes  
presented in this manual. PSC models QuickScan® 1000 and Quick-  
Scan® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format require-  
ments (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this manual.  
Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be set to  
“External Handheld Input” to allow operation.

A typical programming session is conducted as follows:  
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to place the scanner in Programming  
Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner  
may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and  
the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner  
remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are  
disabled.  
2. Scan the programming bar code(s) that is (are) specially encoded  
1
to make the desired changes. With few exceptions , the scanner  
will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming  
bar code.  
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will sound  
an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for features invalid  
to the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active  
interface will be implemented.  
NOTE  
NOTE  
If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previous  
configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.  
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single  
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scan-  
ning the SWITCH bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before  
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to  
exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature  
you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar codes scanned dur-  
ing the session will take effect.  
1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scan-  
ning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these  
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a tri-  
ple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one feature  
at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it  
can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several fea-  
tures are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to deter-  
mine which features may or may not have been successfully set following  
such a session.  
NOTE  
3. Scan the SWITCH bar code to save any new settings and exit  
Programming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset  
upon exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return  
to its usual state (on steady or off).  
The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following  
conditions:  
— the programming sequence has been completed or the  
SWITCH bar code is scanned  
— five minutes have passed without scanning activity. Any data  
1
programmed during the current session will be ignored , and  
the scanner will reset and revert to its condition previous to  
initiating the exited session.  
— power is disconnected. Disconnecting power during Pro-  
gramming Mode, before scanning the SWITCH bar code,  
will cause all new settings to be ignored. On power-up, the  
scanner will return to previous settings.  
4. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you  
know if the original factory settings have been changed.  
1. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scanner will  
operate on the default settings for the new interface.

To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained  
in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the  
feature being programmed (as shown in Table 6-1). There are three possi-  
ble programming sequences:  
If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter-  
face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses-  
sion. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to  
the factory default for that interface type.)  
NOTE  
A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) dem-  
onstrates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the  
following:  
1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar  
code).  
1
2. Scan the Item Tag that will enable the new feature.  
3. End the programming session and reset the scanner  
(SWITCH bar code).  
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requir-  
ing the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is  
placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag1 is scanned.  
Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming  
session. In the example, three digits must be scanned from the  
number pad in Appendix C. This type of format, requiring several  
bar codes, is necessary to allow flexible programming for item val-  
ues with larger numeric ranges.  
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scan-  
ning of a single, extended length bar code. This special program-  
ming bar code contains all the data necessary to enter  
Programming Mode, set the Item Tag1 and Item Value, and exit  
Programming Mode (all in one step).  
1. An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming  
bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the  
scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the  
Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configura-  
tion to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes  
made during previous programming sessions.

Scan this bar code to return the scanner to the default settings configured  
at the factory for the currently active interface. This bar code is typically  
used to return the scanner to a “known” operating state when the present  
programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.  
Use this bar code with caution, since it will reset ALL features that may have  
been programmed since the scanner’s installation.

Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This  
special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is  
not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code  
to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS  
terminal.  
To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DIS-  
ABLE bar code below.

When enabled, this feature passes all data through the scanner to the host  
as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy chaining”  
of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for example, one of  
the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering data while  
another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requiring transmis-  
for a specified period of time (set via RS-232 Host Echo Quiet Interval).  
The scanner can be set to observe this delay before sending its data in  
order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.  
When RS-232 Host Echo is enabled, the following features are ignored: RS-  
232 Software Flow Control and RS-232 ACK NAK Enable as well

This switch initiates the scale’s calibration routine. A certified weight set is  
needed to perform the scale calibration steps detailed in Section 5, Cali-  
bration. This switch is not included in scanners without scale modules.

This seal allows you to secure the Calibration Switch access cover and  
restrict access to the Calibration Switch. If the calibration seal is broken or  
missing, you may be prohibited from operating the scale without recertifi-  
cation. Check local and state requirements for specific restrictions.

This appendix provides application notes to describe the general format of  
data that can be accepted by the scanner through the auxiliary port as  
transmitted from a handheld scanner.  
+DQGKHOGꢀ'DWDꢀ)RUPDWꢀ5HTXLUHPHQWVꢀ*HQHUDO  
9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.  
RTS is used to "bracket" the data received from the handheld:  
RTS must be asserted high during data transmission, and de-  
asserted after label transmission is complete. No other flow con-  
trol mechanisms are required or supported.  
Symbologies requiring fixed lengths (UPC/EAN) will enforce  
length requirements for validation of the label.  
Handheld will be required to transmit start and stop characters  
for Codabar and Code 39 labels.  
Appropriate industrial length requirements will be enforced (if  
configured) for validation of the label.  
Maximum label lengths will be enforced for label validation (i.e.  
labels longer than the maximum label size will not be validated).  
Standard PSC formats generally use a single prefix character. The  
specific formats are provided below.

The following sections describe label transmission formats that are typi-  
cally observed in factory configurations of PSC handheld scanners.  
566ꢃꢂꢅ  
Prefix must be ASCII characters ‘R4’  
Check character must be included in label  
Application identifier “01” must follow the prefix and preceed the  
base label  
Label length excluding prefix characters must be 16 characters.  
Example: ‘R40101044123456789’  
566ꢀ([SDQGHG  
Prefix must be ASCII characters ‘R4’  
Check character must be included in label  
83&ꢃ$  
Number system must be included in label data.  
Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be

AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label  
data for transmission. Because AIM specifies one identifier for UPC-A,  
UPC-E and EAN-13 labels, UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 will be received  
from the handheld and transmitted by the scanner as EAN-13. The ’]’  
character must be the first character received in the label transmission  
from the handheld.  
The following sections describe the prefix strings and identify what spe-  
cific label characteristics can be supported.
