50 Magellan™ 9300i / 9400i Scanners
Proper Scanning Technique
The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhancements
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 29).
• Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom,
don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. 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 pre
-
vent repetitive motion injuries. This technique also relieves you from lift-
ing 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 move-
ments.
• 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.
Proper Weighing Technique (Scale Models)
1. The L-shaped All-Weighs
TM
platter allows you to place items anywhere on
its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed
accurately. The raised lip on the end also provides a convenient way to
ensure items do not rest on the counter or other non-weighing surfaces.

2. Once weighed items are in place, enter PLU (price Look-Up) data as
described in your POS system instructions. Item weight is displayed on the
Remote Display and/or the host display.
3. Remove the item from the weigh platter.
NOTE
It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full
weight to be accurately recorded. An optional ScaleSentry
TM
feature
can be employed to help prevent the occurrence of item overlap
onto non-weighing surfaces. See the following section for more
information about this feature.
