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 2-4). Another consideration is that
the scan zone must be kept free of obstructions such as enclosures, key-
board mounts, etc.
Figure 2-4. Vertical Clearance
Ventilation and Spacing
The scanner/scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade-

slots. The checkstand design must allow:
• The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the
scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
