Site Preparation and Installation
34
Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
Checkstand Mounting
There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand.
Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capacity and stability. Don’t forget to add the
scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when calculating materials and supports needed to construct
a sturdy installation, as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.
NOTE
If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75” (1.9 cm) plywood,
you’ll need to add a backing strip that supports the area routed out for the sup-
port flanges (see
Figure 14
). 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.
Installation Overview
The preceding Site Preparation Overview dealt with installed location and counter
preparations to accommodate the scanner or scanning-s
cale. Having 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. Confirming connection to the EAS system.
6. Functional testing to verify operation when connected to the
POS system.
The following text describes each of these steps.
