Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
• Hybrid Mode — In Hybrid Mode, the scanner must be enabled, however EAS deactiva-
tion in this mode also takes place without needing to scan an item’s bar code. Pass an
active
EAS tag over the scanner in the same direction you would scan a bar code. The bot-
tom-most LED will flash red, then orange, then return to green. The beeper may be con-
figured to sound a high frequency beep to announc
e successful deactivation.
Scale —
If the yellow scale indicator LED is not lit, press the Scale Zero Button momen-
tarily. 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
- 0 -
is displayed, it may be necessary to calibrate the scale before con-
tinuing. Refer to
"Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)" starting on page 78, for
calibration procedures.
Remote Scale Display —
Check to verify that 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric) is displayed, then
place an item on the weighing platter. Verify 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 D
isplay cable from the scanner’s connector panel.
After you have verified that the scanner and scal
e (if present) are completely functional,
continue with the following procedures to complete the installation.
Diagnostic Modes
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. Diagnostic messages will be displayed on
the Health & Status Indicator for both modes.
Scanner Diagnostic Mode
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 Scanner Control Button for five to
nine 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. For
more details about the Scanner Control Button and audio indications, see
Appendix A, LED/
Audio Indications & Controls
.
While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, identification numbers for interface
1
type, firmware and
configuration will scroll continually across the scanner’s Health & Status Indicator (Field
Replaceable
Unit) display. This is useful information for field diagnostics. See
Figure 40 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.
