Datalogic MAGELLAN 8300 Product Reference Guide

Product Reference Guide 3-1
Chapter 3
Operation and
Maintenance
The information contained in this chapter describes how to operate and
maintain the scanner, and optional scale and EAS systems. Topics include
“how to’s” on scanning, EAS label deactivation, weighing, re-zeroing the
scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the upper and lower windows.
Scanning Items
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 rarely
a need to reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner has a 360 degree
view around an item.
NOTE
“Limited Scanning Mode” is entered by default by interfaces such as USB
and IBM until a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal enables scanning. This mode
allows the scanner to read labels without a host interface enabled. The scan-
ner will only process programming labels and emit a bad label read indica-
tion (“chirp”) for all other labels.
