Operation and Maintenance
56
Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
Normal Operation
This condition is indicated by the scanner green LED and the EAS deactivation LED both
being on dim and steady. For scanner/scale models, the scale yellow LED indicates that the scale
senses a weight of zero on the platter. If you have a scanner without scale model, the yellow
lamp will not be lit when the scanner is ready for scanning.
NOTE
Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not
be programmed to operate in the standard manner described above.
Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown sequence. If there is no
activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out
1
), the unit will shut off in order to
prolong the life of the electrical com
ponents. Once the scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep
Mode.
Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the unit goes to sleep. This state is
called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking at a 2-second
rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhere on the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only),
press the Volume Selection switch or wave your hand in front of the vertical window. The unit
will recognize any of these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal Operation.
Additional Functions
Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running scanner or scale
diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and calibrating the scale.
Programming
When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is configured to work with the
POS system interface at your store and read the bar code symbologies you designated. If you
need to change this configuration information for any reason,
Chapter 7, Programming,
contains special bar code labels for changing the unit’s settings.
Diagnostic Mode
Refer to Chapter 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running scanner and scale diagnostics.
Turn to
Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of error codes resulting from
diagnostics.
Scanner and Scale Reset
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/scale models. As with
any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary to reset the electronics. The reset procedure
allows you to initiate a reset command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS
1. “Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selected through use of the programming labels
included in
Chapter 7, Programming.
