Physical Parameters
This chapter provides specifications for performance, environmental and
electrical parameters. Reference the second chapter of this manual, Site
Preparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models and
some accessories.

Scanning
The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner
projects laser light in order to scan items. Two separate projections, one
from the horizontal window and one from the vertical window, combine
to form a zone where bar code labels are read. Refer to Chapter 3, "Scanning Items" for more information.

Deactivating EAS Tags
Deactivation of Sensormatic® ScanMax ProTM EAS (Electronic Article
Surveillance) anti-theft labels is an additional function that can be performed by the scanner. More information about this feature can be referenced under the following topics:

Physical Parameters

Weighing
Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum
static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Operation and Maintenance chapter of this manual.

Rated Weight Capacity
The scale’s operational weight capacity is:
•

30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments
OR

•

15.000 kilograms1, displayed in 0.005 increments.

Minimum Increment
The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.02
lb. (0.005 kg).

Maximum Static Weight (Overload)
A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by the
scale without incurring damage or degrading performance.

Automatic Zero Maintenance
The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as
long as the deviation is within acceptable limits2, while compensating for
any debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push
Button located on the top of the vertical enclosure.

1. The scale can also be set for 9.99 kg max.
2. Acceptable limitis of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -0.67 to
+2.0% of total capacity.

Product Reference Guide

1-7

Warm-Up Time
There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanner or scanner/scale:

The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing
the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.
NOTE

Thermal Equilibrium
When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area)
to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes
must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to calibration or operation.

Power-up
Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be
allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.

User Configurable Warm-up
The user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up time
that is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time,
the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.

Contact technical support to learn more about this advanced programmable feature.

Site Preparation and
Installation
This chapter provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to
receive the scanner or scanner/scale. Included are physical parameters and
instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit installation.
Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.
The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation, detail steps for
the three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facilitate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the
world:
Model 9501 — Scanner only

Model 9502 — Scanner/Scale

Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into openings cut for previously installed scanners such as Magellan® scanners, or
NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models are designed for
applications with smaller footprint requirements.
Once the procedures in this chapter are complete, the scanner is ready for
scanning operation1; with the exception that if a scanner/scale was
installed, calibration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure
that all legal requirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Chapter 5, Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating
the scale in either pounds or kilograms.

1. Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) operation requires the installation of the Sensormatic® ScanMax ProTM antenna and controller.

Pre-Installation Considerations
It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all
factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however,
offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety
and productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines should
result in a more efficient, comfortable work environment.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the incidence of repetitive
motion injuries has increased dramatically in recent years. Checkstand
design and scanner installation and operation procedures can reduce the
risk of repetitive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.
Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergonomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Institute of
Occupational Safety (NIOSH) of the Department of Health and Human
Services have released the reports listed at the end of these recommendations. These reports contain useful suggestions for ergonomic improvement of checkstand designs and scanner installation, maintenance and
usage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of the
complete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommendations, contact FMI and NIOSH at the addresses listed at the end of
these recommendations.

Magellan® 9500

Checkstand Design

Checkstand Design
1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle groups
(for example designs which allow the cashier to use both hands for
scanning and bagging).
2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input
belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart. These
designs put less stress on the cashiers’ shoulders and back.
3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away conveyors
(i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the products).
4. Minimize the width of the input conveyor to reduce the cashier’s
reach to items on the far side of the belt; use a diverter to direct
products closer to the cashier.
5. Select a design which encourages the cashier to slide products across
the scanner rather than gripping and lifting. Make sure the horizontal surface of the scanner is flush with all surrounding surfaces.
6. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to eliminate
extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.
7. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height 13 - 17 inches (33 43.2 cm) lower than the top surface of the checkstand to reduce
stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated with lifting
products into bags.
8. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scanner,
due to the increased reach involved.
9. Position the scanner’s horizontal scanning surface 34 - 36 inches
(86.4 - 91.4 cm) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of five
inches (12.7 cm) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.
10. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizontal
reach).
11. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devices the
cashier uses within easy reach (less than 18 inches/45.7 cm).
12. Provide adequate toe space, foot rests or rails, antifatigue mats, and
where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which the cashiers
can lean.

Product Reference Guide

2-3

Scanner Installation
1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the countertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting.
2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side).

Scanner Maintenance
1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and
reduce rescans.
2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.

Magellan® 9500

Site Preparation Overview

Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing
work equally between hands.
Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top
and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either
of the scanner windows.
Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster
hand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’s
horizontal window with as little orientation motion as necessary.
Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt.
Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area
is located.
Do not favor either the vertical or horizontal window; slide
items across the scanner in their natural orientations on the
checkstand as much as possible.

Site Preparation Overview
Consider the following factors before installing the scanner or scanner/
scale and its optional Remote Scale Display.
Ventilation Requirements: The scanner operates without the use of a
ventilation fan. As long as there is adequate convective air flow and no
major heat producing equipment in close proximity, the unit’s housing
provides adequate heat dissipation. The air temperature in the checkstand
around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
Service Access Requirements: Routine operations such as ‘zeroing’

and calibration do not require removal of the scanner from the checkstand
or disassembly of the product. The installer should plan service access for
the AC/DC Power Supply and cables.

Product Reference Guide

2-5

Recommended Power Installation: Since the typical grocery envi-

ronment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken
to ensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power without
excessive electrical noise). A wiring diagram shows the recommended wiring that will provide the scanner with a “clean” source of power. Refer to
Figure 2-4.
Counter Preparation: Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are
designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this chapter
focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand
take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two
configurations.
Liquid Drainage: Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can

flow through the checkstand without pooling.
Leveling: Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand mounts
and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or scanner/
scale within the counter. Use a 0.375” thick board to replicate the mounting flange on the long scanner or scanner/scale, and adjust screws or bolts
until the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0” wide board stood on
its end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.
Cable Routing: Placement of the scanner/scale should be planned to
allow easy access to other components as well as optimize communication
between the scanner, the POS terminal, the optional Remote Scale Display and the Sensormatic® ScanMax ProTM controller. Note that cables
may drop straight down from the scanner’s connector panel, or may be
conveniently routed along the unit’s side using the hardware provided. Do
not route interface cables near any electrical motors or other sources of
electromagnetic interference.
Remote Scale Display Placement: The customer, and checker in

some instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Display. Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed
later in this chapter.

2-6

Magellan® 9500

Ventilation and Spacing

Vertical Clearance: Provision must be made to allow adequate space

above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of the All
Weighs™ Platter (the L-shaped platter). Optimal clearance permits the
platter to be grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal without
obstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclosure).
Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter
removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical
clearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2).
Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstructions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.

Ventilation and Spacing
The scanner/scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the
weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows the debris chutes and ventilation
slots. The checkstand design must allow:
•

Product Reference Guide

The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the
scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

2-7

•

A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air flow.

DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed checkstand. Provide a MINIMUM of 16 square inches (103.2 square centimeters) of air intake
from below the installation for sufficient convective cooling.
NOTE

If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located
near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installations, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air movement. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may
be washed or replaced is recommended.

Service Access

Service Access
The scanner and scanner/scale have been engineered to allow performance
of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and calibration)
without removing the scanner from the checkstand. Additionally all cable
connections made at the scanner can be connected and removed while the
unit is sitting on the countertop. The installer should provide service
access to all remaining cable connectors as well as the AC/DC Power Supply (if installed).

Checkstand Preparation
Reference Figure 2-5. When performing a first time installation into a
new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for
cabling, the AC/DC Power Supply, and the Sensormatic® Controller Box.
When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct
dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop
routing, or other such devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you
may wish to install an item diverter to direct items toward the scan window. See the instructions in this manual titled “Counter Cutout” for more
details concerning the location and preparation of the opening.

Liquid Spills and Moisture
Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs
liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.

Counter Cutout
The most important consideration when planning the counter opening
for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal,
ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy
reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of
items. If you haven’t already read the information at the beginning of this
chapter titled, Pre-Installation Considerations, please do so before continuing these instructions.
The symmetrical design of the scanner permits the operator to easily pass
items from one hand to the other while scanning (either from right-to-left
or left-to-right). With the unique 360- scan zone, scanning is accomplished in one fluid motion. The operator simply slides the item from the
conveyor belt or diverter area through the scanning area and passes the
item to the other hand, which in turn bags it or places it on a take-away
conveyor belt. Movement should flow naturally over the surface of the
scanner.
Note that the following guidelines for preparing an existing checkstand to
accept a scanner, or incorporating the unit into a new checkstand design
will not be accurate for all installations. Although these guidelines will suffice for most standard installations, the installer may need to make adjustments for varying counter heights and thicknesses, support design, or
other checkstand limitations.
Figure 2-6 shows a typical “left-hand-take-away” checkstand design.

Follow these basic steps to install the unit:
1. Select a position for the scanner that offers a smooth product flow
which best accommodates the reaching distance of the average operator.
2. Cut the opening in the countertop. Reference Figure 2-7 for cutout dimensions.

2-12

Magellan® 9500

Counter Cutout

3. Install the AC/DC Power Supply, the Remote Scale Display cable
and the interface cable(s) observing the following:
Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be
routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like
motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’s
power cable if possible.
Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replacement is required. A little planning now will save a lot of frustration later.
4. Connect and verify all system operations.
The scanner should be installed so that leading and trailing edges of the
All Weighs™ Platter are flush with the countertop to enhance smooth,
slide-through scanning (reference the insert in Figure 2-6). Keep in mind
that the debris chutes on both sides of the platter provide the necessary
clearance for proper scale operation if you are installing a scanner/scale
(you won’t need to provide an additional gap for that).

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. Consider the scanner or scanner/scale’s weight when calculating the robustness of construction needed to support it 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
support flanges (see Figure 2-5). 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.

Checkstand Vibration
Proper function of the scanner/scale is dependent upon an installation
which minimizes excess vibration from conveyor belts, fans, and other
such equipment. See Chapter 4, Scale Error Reporting, if vibration is suspected of causing operational problems.

Installation Overview
The preceding Site Preparation Overview dealt with installed location and
counter preparations to accommodate the scanner or scanner/scale. Having completed those steps, physical installation of the scanner or scanner/
scale can begin. The following instructions apply to all models.
This chapter 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.

2-18

Magellan® 9500

Installation Overview

The following text describes each of these steps.

Unpacking
To unpack the unit:
•

Inspect the package for signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is found, report it to your carrier immediately.

•

Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply,
optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the Quick
Reference Guide.

•

Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with
the unit’s controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand
when the installation is complete.

•

Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the unit from the
carton. Be sure to save the box and all packing material. In the event
of failure, the unit must be returned to the factory in its original
packaging.

•

Carefully lift off the All Weighs™ Platter as shown in Figure 2-22
and remove the protective foam pieces securing the weigh mechanism. Set the platter back in place.

For added protection during shipment, the All Weighs™ Platter is covered
with a tight-fitting layer of vinyl as shown in Figure 2-10. This vinyl layer
MUST BE REMOVED before placing the unit into service.
NOTE

Proceed to the Operational Verification instructions below.

Operational Verification
Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is
fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to
your POS system.
1. Connect the scanner and the EAS antenna to the EAS Controller
Box (see Figure 2-20 and Figure 2-21) and power-on the controller
box.
2. If the unit is a scanner/scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to
the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to
Figure 2-14). Note that if the Remote Scale Display is not connected, a scanner power-up Selftest will sound a long, low beep, and
the number “8” will appear on the 7-segment display indicating a
remote display error. Power-down, connect a known-good Remote
Display to the appropriate port, and restart to correct this problem.
Alternatively, you can disable the Remote Display using programming bar codes (see Chapter 6, Programming for more information).
3. Connect the power cable at the scanner, then at the AC outlet.

2-20

Magellan® 9500

Installation Overview

When power is applied to the unit, the normal indicator sequence is:
•

The scanner indicator (top-most, green LED) will be lit (dim)
steadily.

•

The EAS indicator (bottom-most, tri-color LED) will flash ON/
OFF during power-up. Additionally, the 7-segment display will
flash the number ‘9’. indicating the EAS system is being initialized.

•

If the Selftest detects a problem, the 7-segment display will display a
number code. Refer to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of failure codes and problem isolation procedures.

Scale calibration may be necessary to obtain a zero reading on the display on
rare occasions.
NOTE

4. The unit should be permitted to reach thermal equilibrium before
proceeding to the next steps. (Reference the topic Warm-Up Time in
Chapter 1.) When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature
(such as a storage area) to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), a period of 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate
the unit to ambient conditions. Once installed and powered up, a
“power-up” warm-up period of 15 minutes must be allowed before
calibrating or performing weighing operations. These two warmup periods may run concurrently.
5. Verify that the scanner or scanner/scale passes an operational test by
observing the following:

Product Reference Guide

2-21

Scanner: Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner’s win-

dows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels
(see the note that follows). The scanner indicates when each label
has been successfully read by flashing the green scanner light and
emitting a good read tone (beep).

NOTE

When not connected to the host, the scanner may be limited to reading only
one or two labels. (This limitation is dependent upon the interface type.) To
scan multiple labels without connecting to the host, place the unit in Scanner
Diagnostic Mode by pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button for four seconds.
EAS System: The way in which EAS tags are deactivated is dependent

upon the way the scanner is currently programmed with regard to EAS
Mode. (See “EAS Mode” on page 6-48.) To test EAS system function...

2-22

•

Coupled Mode — Pass an item containing both a bar code and an
active EAS tag over the scanner. Successful deactivation is indicated
by the bottom-most LED flashing first red, then orange, then
returning to green. The beeper will sound a good read beep.
If you have enabled the manual deactivation function available for
Coupled Mode (see “Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button” on
page 6-53), test the function by pressing the bottom push button. A
ticking sound will be heard which should cease upon deactivating an
EAS tag.

•

Decoupled Mode — In this mode, items do not require a bar code
to be scanned to arm the deactivation function. Simply pass an
active EAS tag over the scanner in the same direction you would
scan a bar code. The bottom-most LED will flash red to indicate
deactivation. No beep is sounded to indicate deactivation in this
mode.

•

Hybrid Mode — In Hybrid Mode, the scanner must be enabled,
however EAS deactivation 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 bottom-most LED will flash red, then orange, then return to green.
The beeper may be configured to sound a high frequency beep to
announce successful deactivation.

Magellan® 9500

Installation Overview

Scale: If the Yellow (middle, scale) LED is not lit, press the Scale Zero

Push Button momentarily. 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
is displayed, it may be necessary to calibrate
-0the scale before continuing. Refer to Chapter 5, Calibration, for calibration procedures.
Remote Scale Display: Check to verify that 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for met-

ric) 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.
6. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet and disconnect the
power cord and Remote Scale Display cable from the scanner’s connector panel.
After you have verified that the scanner, EAS system and scale (if present)
are completely functional, continue with the following procedures to
complete the installation.

Product Reference Guide

2-23

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.

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 Volume/Tone
Push Button for approximately four 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.
While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, identification numbers for interface1
type, firmware and configuration will scroll continually across the scanner’s 7-segment FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) display. This is useful information for field diagnostics. See Figure 4-1 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 R965593, the following would be shown (slowly, with blanking between each
of the items):
IF-05 r96-1234 r96-5593.
To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the unit or press and
hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner.
See the topic, Scanner and Scale Reset in Chapter 3 for more information
about unit resets.

1. A listing of scanner interface identification numbers is available in Chapter 6, under the topic,
Interface Type.

2-24

Magellan® 9500

Installation Overview

Scale Diagnostic Mode
To enter Scale Diagnostic Mode, press the Scale Zero Push Button for
approximately four seconds. Six rapid tones will be sounded, indicating
the unit is leaving normal operation and entering Scale Diagnostic Mode.
The Remote Display will flash a ‘1’ across the display while the dignostic
routine is being run. When diagnostics are completed successfully, the display will indicate that the unit has passed the diagnostic test by displaying
PASS
. Next, the display shows a listing of how many times the unit
has been calibrated and zeroed in the form of: c XXX where x equals
the number of times the scale has been calibrated. Next, the unit will display Zero XXXX where x is the number of times the scale has been zeroed.
Finally, all segments will be displayed in the form of: -18.8.88
c XXX to allow
visual verification of display function.
If the diagnostics routine is not completed successfully, the scanner will
sound a series of tones and the Remote Display will show an error code.
Turn to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation for a description of error codes.
Press the Scale Zero Push Button once more to reset the unit and exit
Scale Diagnostic Mode. See the topic, Scanner and Scale Reset in Chapter
3 for more information about unit resets.

Cables & Connections
Considerations when routing the power and interface cables for the scanner and scanner/scale are:
•

Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or pierced.

•

Do not route interface cables in close proximity to electrical motors
or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

•

Cables can drop directly from their connectors on the scanner, or,
alternatively, can be routed along the scanner’s side to the back (see
Figure 2-11).

Do not plug the AC power cord into the outlet at this time. It is a good
practice to always connect the power cable to the scanner first before plugging it into the AC receptacle. The procedures titled, Set-Up, provided
later in this chapter will instruct you to connect the power cord at that
time. Figure 2-11 illustrates the basic cable routing scheme.

Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation
When installing the optional Remote Scale Display, consider both the customer’s viewing angle and the amount of daily ambient light conditions
anticipated at this installation site. Figure 2-13 shows available adjustment for the display head.

Lighting Considerations
The display will be easily readable unless placed in direct sunlight or other
very strong light sources. Light interference will not be a factor in most
installations.

Product Reference Guide

2-27

Viewing Angle
The optimum viewing angle is directly facing the customer. To ensure that
the display is easily readable for the majority of your customers, the display should be approximately 48 to 60” (122 to 152 cm) from the floor.
Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper positioning of scale displays used in retail trade.

Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation

NOTE

The connector at the Remote Scale Display end is secured with a rubber band
during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs” (see Figure 2-15).
After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before the cable end connecting to the Remote Scale Display head. Failure to remove the band will
keep the connector from latching properly when it is connected to Remote
Scale Display port.

Placing and Installing the Remote Scale Display
(Short Pedestal Base ONLY)
1. Determine where you want to install the Remote Scale Display
based on your counter design, the viewing angle and lighting considerations discussed previously. Reference Figure 2-14 for the display’s physical dimensions.
2. Use the short pedestal base template provided in Figure 2-16 to
mark locations of the mounting screw and cable routing holes. The
mounting screw holes are on 3 3/8” (8.57 cm) centers.

Before drilling, ensure the holes in your base match with the holes indicated
on the template.
NOTE

3. The cable can either be routed through a 3/4” (19 mm) diameter
hole directly under the mounting base or through the cutout in the
back of the base (see Figure 2-15).
4. Drill the mounting screw holes using a drill bit of the appropriate
diameter for your mounting screws or bolts.
5. Drill the cable routing hole using a 3/4” (19 mm) drill bit
(optional).
It may be necessary to shorten the stalk that supports the display head so
that the display is installed at eye level.

Changing Weighing Modes
Your scanner/scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds or
kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was
specified when you ordered your scanner/scale. If you need to change
from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call technical support.
You can verify that the scale is set correctly for your country’s requirements
by observing that the Remote Scale Display shows the appropriate measurement symbol (lb or kg) when the power-up Selftest is completed.

LEGAL NOTE

Set-Up & Installation

Set-Up & Installation
These setup and installation procedures assume that you have already prepared your checkstand to receive the scanner or scanner/scale. If you have
not already made the counter cutout and routed power and interface
cables, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your checkstand has been prepared, proceed as follows:

EAS Considerations
When installing a system which includes EAS deactivation, issues to be
considered are:
•

Placement of the EAS Controller Box. The controller must be
located near the scanner, and be within easy connection of an adequate power supply.

•

The EAS Single-Antenna (installed under the scanner’s top platter)
must be situated so that it is “downstream” with regard to the scanning window. That is, when items are moved either right-to-left, or
left-to-right over the scan window, the EAS Antenna must be positioned AFTER the scan window for correct operation. See Figure 217.

EAS Dual Antenna systems require no special positioning, since the two
antennas envelope both sides of the scanner.

3. Hook the fingers of both hands into the lift handles. The first is
located along the inside of the front scanner wall, and the second is
behind the scanner hood, as shown in Figure 2-23.

DO NOT attempt to lift the unit using the EAS Antenna, plastic edges, scale
frame, or any features other than the lift handles.
CAUTION

4. Lower the unit into the counter opening, ensuring that none of the
cables are pinched, pierced or crimped.
5. Re-install the All Weighs™ Platter and verify that it is flush or just
below flush with the countertop. This is necessary to provide
smooth scanning from either direction. Make adjustments as needed
to align the platter with the counter by moving support rails up or
down, or consider installing screws in positions that will allow their
use in adjusting the unit’s position.
Failure to install a scanner/scale in a stable and level position will inhibit
weighing, calibration and zeroing operations. The platter MUST make unobstructed contact with all of its supports for proper weighing operation.

System Power-Up Recap

System Power-Up Recap
The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the requirements of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down
(switch off ) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your
System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper
power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when
connecting any peripheral device.
If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system,
follow these steps.
1. Power-down the POS terminal.
2. Ensure that power is disconnected from the scanner.
3. Connect the scanner and scale interface cables to your POS terminal. This connection may use one or two cables depending upon
your POS terminal interface.
4. Connect the EAS interface cable.
Always Apply power to the EAS Controller box before powering on the scanner.
NOTE

5. Connect the Remote Display cable if your model is a scanner/scale
and make any connections to optional equipment, such as a handheld scanner.

Product Reference Guide

2-41

6. Power-up the scanner or scanner/scale by connecting the power cord
to an AC power outlet. Wait for the unit to complete the Self test
routine (10 seconds maximum). Successful scanner power-up is signified by any or all of the following:
- Facet wheel shows movement
- Lasers turn on
- Status LED(s) turn on
- Speaker sounds tone(s)
- Remote display shows message
- A single red dot is visible on the 7-segment display
7. Power-up the POS terminal. Verify that scanning, deactivation and
weighing functions are operational and that data is properly communicated between the scanner and your POS system. (Scan, deactivate and weigh a few items.) If problems are encountered, refer to
Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.
8. You have now completed installation and system integration of the
scanner or scanner/scale. At this point, the scale must be calibrated
and certified in accordance with the requirements of your state and/
or local requirements. Refer to Chapter 5, Calibration, for calibration procedures.

Chapter 3
Operation and
Maintenance
The information contained in this chapter describes how to operate and
maintain the scanner, scale and EAS system. Topics include “how to’s” on
scanning, EAS tag 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 can “see” the left,
right, front and back side, as well as the top and bottom of an item.

“Limited Scanning Mode” is entered by default by interfaces such as USB
and IBM until a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal enables scanning. Labels are
“chirped” while in this mode.

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:

3-2

•

Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1).

•

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 prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique
also relieves you from lifting 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
movements.

•

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.
Magellan® 9500

Deactivating Security Labels
Sensormatic® Ultra-Max®, Ultra-Strip® II and III EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) tags can be detected and deactivated by the system. This
is accomplished by means of a ScanMax deactivation antenna mounted
under the scanner platter (single-antenna models) or both behind the vertical window and under the scanner platter (dual-antenna models). EAS
tags should be brought within five inches of the antenna(s) to be deactivated.

NOTE

Single-Antenna models ONLY: EAS tag deactivation is dependent upon correct installation of the EAS antenna, “downstream” with regard to the direction of scanning: Left-to-right (see Figure 2-18, or right-to-left (see
Figure 2-19). If deactivation is not occurring while items are presented during a normal scan, consult your system specialist or See “Swapping Position:
EAS Single-Antenna ONLY” on page 34. for assistance in optimizing the
installation.

EAS Deactivation Modes
Three modes of initiating deactivation are selectable via scanner programming (reference Chapter 6, "EAS Mode" in this manual):
•

Coupled Mode — Deactivation occurs only after item bar codes are
read by the scanner.

•

Decoupled Mode — Deactivation is independent of the scanning
function

•

Hybrid Mode — EAS system is armed whenever the scanner is
enabled and the deactivation beep is sounded when an EAS tag is
deactivated..

The EAS system must be functional to implement any of the EAS Modes. If
the EAS system is not active, error code 9 will be displayed in the 7-segment
LED display (see Figure 4-1).
NOTE

Product Reference Guide

3-3

EAS Deactivation Indicators
The scanner can be programmed to beep in acknowledgement of deactivation or upon deactivation failure. Additionally, the tri-color indicator (the
bottom-most LED) displays deactivation status. (For more information
about Beeper and LED indications, see the LED/Beeper Indications &
Controls chapter of this manual. Also reference the programming chapter
for their configurable features.) By general default, LED indications are:
•

Green means the system is ready (standing by).

•

Red signifies the system has detected an EAS tag.

•

Orange indicates an EAS tag is being deactivated.

Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button
The bottom-most push button is reserved for use in rare instances where
EAS tagged items are not automatically deactivated when brought
through the scan zone. This button is not intended for regular use. In
instances where deactivation is not automatically triggered, hold the EAS
tag directly downstream from the horizontal window, and press and
release the Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button. This manual deactivation feature is optional, and can be enabled/disabled via the bar codes
located in the programming chapter of this manual.
The item will be deactivated and a message to store management that this
has occurred will be sent.

NOTE

In a case where an item’s bar code is damaged or obscured by an EAS tag or
other obstruction, the operator will need to key enter the barcode number and
use the Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button to manually deactivate the
EAS tag.
Deactivating the EAS System when failed

In cases of EAS system failure or malfunction, a scanner can be enabled to
operate independent of the EAS deactivation function. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the EAS Manual Deactivation Push Button for three seconds. The scanner will sound three high-pitched beeps
upon bypassing the EAS function in this manner. When in this state, the
scanner’s EAS LED will flash slowly red, as well as the FRU Status LED,
which will slowly flash error nine (9).

Proper Weighing Technique
1. The L-shaped All-Weighs™ platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to
be weighed accurately. The raised “Produce Rail” also provides a
convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the counter or other
non-weighing surfaces. (Reference Figure 3-2.)

It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be
accurately recorded.
NOTE
Figure 3-2. L-Shaped Platter & Item Placement

Produce Rail

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.

Product Reference Guide

Operational Controls
The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in
Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix
for full details.

Operational Modes
The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are important to both the user and the system support personnel. These modes can
be combined into three groups: pre-operational, operational, and additional functions. The following text describes these modes, what they
mean, and how and when they are seen.

Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation
Pre-Operation describes those steps that must be successfully completed
before the scanner sounds the initial good read tone and illuminates the
lamps indicating the scanner and/or scale are ready for operation. These
steps include Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and Operational Configuration.

Power-Up/Selftest
Power-Up Selftest begins when power is applied. The scanner’s software
immediately begins the testing sequence to verify that all systems are functioning properly. This routine, which only takes a few seconds, checks all
the functions of the scanner, EAS deactivation system, scale, remote scale
display and interface prior to indicating that it is ready for operation.

A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See the topic
Power-up Beep Control in the Programming chapter of this manual.
NOTE

3-6

Magellan® 9500

Operational Modes

Error Reporting
If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not
advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the
unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7segment display indicating where the failure occurred. These messages are
coded to assist the repair technician in identifying the failed component.
If the error is with the EAS deactivation system, the bottom-most LED
will flash red. If an error is indicated, make note of it and contact your
supervisor or technical support representative. A table containing descriptions of these error codes is included in Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.
If a non-fatal1 error is detected (such as the loss of one of the two lasers, or
EAS deactivation system error), the unit will sound a long, low tone and
display a number on the 7-segment display. The unit will advance to Normal Operating Mode, but performance may be affected until a correction
or repair is made.

Operational Configuration
Once Selftest diagnostics have been successfully run, a tone is emitted (if
configured to do so, and the unit enters an operational configuration state.
The scanner or scanner/scale will automatically load your specific interface
settings which are required to communicate with the host system. There
are two conditions that must be met before the unit can enter Operating
Mode:
•

No bar code label can be in the scan volume while the unit is in this
state. Progress is halted until the label has been removed, thereby
ensuring that no extraneous bar code data is send to the host.

•

If your scanner has a scale, the scale cannot be in motion (usually
caused by excessive vibration in the checkstand) for this test to succeed. A “Scale in Motion” status will be indicated by displaying a
period and the applicable weight unit (lb
. lb or
kg
. kg ) that is selected.

•

The scale must be able to “capture” zero weight. The
-0display will be seen if there is a weight on the platter at
power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero Push
Button should allow the scale to find zero.
1. Scanner behavior under non-fatal error conditions is configurable. See Chapter 6, Programming for more details.

Product Reference Guide

3-7

•

When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest successfully,
it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Operating
Mode.

Operating Mode
Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deactivation
and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly
observed by the user/operator.

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.
Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be
programmed to operate in the standard manner described above.
NOTE

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-out1), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to prolong the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.

1. “Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selected through
use of the programming labels included in Chapter 6, Programming.

3-8

Magellan® 9500

Additional Functions

Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser
and/or motor automatically turns off (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 6, 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 terminal has
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit’s internal Selftest routine.
Product Reference Guide

3-9

Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately
eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of
beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the
motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the
scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more information, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation earlier in this
chapter.

Scale Adjustments
The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first,
and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets
the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of - 0.2
pounds (- 1.25 grams) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration.
While the ‘at rest’ reading remains within the zero range, the scale will
automatically adjust itself to true zero. The scale also automatically zeros
itself on power-up if the weight present on the scale is within these defined
limits.

Zeroing the Scale
The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store personnel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Push Button should return
the scale to Normal Operation. If the zero point moves out of the zero
range due to debris accumulation or other causes, pressing the Scale Zero
Push Button will not reset the zero point. In this case the weigh platter
must be cleaned, debris chutes cleared of debris or the scale must be recalibrated.
With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:
1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the scanner/scale.
2. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. (See Figure 1-1).
3. The Zero1 light will turn on and the display will show 0.00 lb
(0.000 kg). If it does not, see Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.
4. You have completed the scale zeroing function.

1. Zero light operation is configurable.

3-10

Magellan® 9500

Additional Functions

Calibrating the Scale
The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference
weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale
is set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 - 30 pounds, and, if your scale
is set for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 - 15 kilograms. The scale
must be calibrated upon initial installation, whenever the scale cannot be
zeroed, when the scale diagnostics indicate a calibration error, when the
weighing measure (pounds or kilograms) is changed, or when the scale
module has been replaced.
Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be verified and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas of the
United States, the scale calibration switch must be sealed before being
placed into service. Consult the agency responsible for regulating weighing devices in your area to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regulatory requirements. Chapter 5, Calibration, describes the calibration
sequence and verification process.
Calibration can only be performed if the tamper seal that secures access to
the Calibration Switch is broken and the switch cover is removed. Breaking the seal may legally render the scale inoperable until it has been recertified and a new seal attached. Consult your local regulations before
removing the calibration seal if you are unsure of the legal requirements.
Although the scale will physically continue to weigh products, a broken
seal may require recertification by a proper authority as designated by your
local laws.

Operational Maintenance
The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many
years. The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or
scanner/scale operating at peak performance.
Cleaning the Weigh Platter and Scan Windows. Clean the exterior surfaces of the horizontal and vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a
nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free
cleaning tissues. The textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also be
cleaned using the same cleaning agents.
Cleaning the Air Gap/Debris Chutes & Drip Rail. Daily, clear the debris
chutes between the platter and the outer housing. Most items can be
cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a thin stiff object like a
credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If necessary, remove the
top cover to clear the debris chutes and drip rail.

Chapter 4
Problem Isolation
In the event of a suspected functional problem, use the troubleshooting
references provided in this chapter. This useful information will help you
to identify and resolve the cause of the problem.
The scanner/scale has a number of features that indicate when a scanner,
EAS deactivation system, or scale problem occurs. The unit may:
•

emit a series of tones

•

light the 7-segment (FRU status) display

•

flash one or more LEDs

•

display error codes on the Remote Display (if installed)

Three error reporting modes are used: Power-Up Selftest, Operational
tests and Diagnostic tests. These test sequences are explained on the following pages.

Power-Up Selftest
The Power-up Selftest is a pre-operational series of tests that must be successfully completed before the scanner indicates readiness for operation.
This pre-operational period is the time between power-up and normal
operation during which the motor comes up-to-speed and software, firmware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems
are fully functional before turning on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD).
Refer to the Chapter 3 subsection titled, Operational Modes for a more
detailed description of this and other scanner and scale modes.

Product Reference Guide

4-1

Operational Tests
These are the tests that run continually during Normal Operation and
Sleep Mode. Firmware checks all subsystems, accessory connections and
the POS interface to verify everything is operating normally. If a problem
is detected at any time, a long, low tone is sounded, an error code is shown
on the 7-segment display, and operation may be halted. If you press the
Volume/Tone Push Button at that time, a series of tones will be sounded
that matches the error code displayed.

Diagnostic Tests
See Chapter 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running diagnostic
tests for the scanner and/or scale. If a problem is discovered during diagnostics, the scanner will provide feedback about the source of the problem. The remainder of this chapter describes these failure indications and
includes troubleshooting flowcharts to help isolate the problem.

Diagnostic Procedures
Your Point-Of-Sale (POS) system may contain many components that
operate as a system. Since almost all scanner or scale problems are caused
by either the scanner, scale, POS terminal or communication links
between them, these troubleshooting flowcharts focus on these components. Additionally, the optional Remote Scale Display, AC/DC Power
Supply and their cables are potential problems addressed in this chapter.
The flowcharts provided in this chapter walk you through a diagnostic
process that will isolate the failed component and instruct as to the corrective action required. Since internal scanner and scale components cannot
be replaced by an operator or installer, most functional errors will require
the assistance of a trained technical support person. However, if the problem is caused by faulty cable, power supply or remote display, you can fix
the problem by replacing the defective component and complete the
installation.

Magellan® 9500

Error Codes

Error Codes
If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for one second) and alternately flash its LEDs, indicating a failure. Following the
long low tone, an error code will appear on the 7-segment display (refer to
Figure 4-1). Pressing the Volume/Tone Push button will cause the scanner
to sound a series of beeps corresponding to that error code. The table on
the following page describes what these codes mean and what action
should be taken for each.

When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections
first before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.

Calibration
A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:
•

at initial installation of the scanner/scale

•

if the scale cannot be re-zeroed

•

if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or viceversa

•

if diagnostics indicate a calibration error

•

the weigh module has been replaced

Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/
scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.
LEGAL NOTE

Certification of the scanner/scale’s weighing apparatus is subject to Federal, State and Local Weights and Measures statutes and is restricted to
authorized government agencies and/or duly registered agents thereof.
Anytime a scale is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a lead and
wire or paper seal before being placed into service.
It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate authorities in your
area to ensure compliance with pertinent regulations before removing
any official seals or placing a newly calibrated scanner/scale into service.

Product Reference Guide

5-1

Description of Calibration Sequence
The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for
weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set
(31.5-pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric.
Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses
the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities.
These verification procedures follow the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology 44 Handbook guidelines for bench/counter scale
installations.
If any of these tests fail to meet the required weight indications, you must
calibrate the scanner/scale. Refer to the calibration procedures in this
chapter for the proper procedures.
You may be required by state and/or local regulations to have procedures
other than these performed by a certified technician or verification official.
Access to the calibration switch should be restricted with a paper or a wire
and lead seal after the calibration has been performed if required by your
local regulatory agency.
The Calibration Sequence must be performed without removing the scanner/
scale from its installed position.
NOTE

The following tools and supplies will be required to perform the calibration process:
•

31.5 pound Field Standard Weight Set1.
(English calibration only).

•

18.5 kilogram Field Standard Weight Set2.
(Metric calibration only).

•

Lead/Wire or Paper Seal (as required by law).
1. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set. eg. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two 5.00
lb. weights.
2. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specific weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set. eg. 10 kgs. may be made up of one 5.00 kg. and five 1.00 kg.

Motion Test

Motion Test
This test verifies that the scale will not ‘zero’ when the weighing surface of
the scanner/scale is in motion.
1. Verify that the Yellow LED1 is on and the Remote Display reads
0.00 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
2. Press lightly on the weigh platter of the scanner/scale with one hand
and at the same time press and release the Zero Push Button on the
operator’s panel. The Yellow LED should turn Off and the Remote
Display should not display 0.00 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
3. Remove your hand from the weighing platform and verify that the
Yellow LED is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds or
0.000 kilograms.

Automatic Zero Setting Test
This test verifies that the scanner/scale automatic zero setting mechanism
is operating correctly.
1. Place 0.007 pounds (4 grams for metric) on the center of the weighing platform. The entire weight must be placed on the weighing
platform at once for this test to be valid. The Yellow LED should go
Off and the Remote Display should read 0.01 pounds (0.005 kilograms).

NOTE

The scanner/scale has an adaptive zero capture mechanism that re-zeros the
scale over time if there is a slow change in the zero level; thus if all the weight
is not placed on the weighing surface at one time, the Yellow LED will remain
On and the Remote Display will read 0.00 pounds (0.000 kilograms). When the
weight is removed, the Yellow LED will turn off and the display will show a
minus sign

Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration
1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable, secure and properly installed.
(Refer to Chapter 2, Site Preparation and Installation for instructions
on the proper installation of the scanner/scale).
2. Power-up the scanner/scale.
3. Allow the unit to reach temperature equilibrium for at least one
hour. If the scanner/scale is already at room temperature, allow at
least 15 minutes for acclimatization.
4. Before performing the calibration, the scanner/scale must be prestressed with a weight of more than 30 pounds (15kg). With power
turned on, place the entire weight set (including the case) on the
weighing surface of the scale. The display should show an underscore and three hyphens
, which is the overweight indication.
5. Remove all weight from the weighing surface and ensure that there
are no obstructions in the debris chutes of the scanner/scale. See
Figure 2-3.

Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)
1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been prepared
for this process by performing the preceding steps titled, Preparing
the Scanner/Scale for Calibration.
2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are no obstructions in the debris chutes.
3. Cut and remove the seal that secures the calibration switch access
cover and retate the cover down as shown in Figure 5-1. The seal
may not be present if this is the initial installation of the scanner/
scale.

9. If the calibration was successful, the speaker sounds a single tone,
the Scale Status LED begins blinking again, and “End-” appears in
the Remote Display.
10. If the calibration was not successful, the speaker will sound five
tones indicating a scale failure, and the Scale Status LED will blink
twice, strobe (fast blinks) and then continually repeat this sequence
until reset. Remove all weight from the Weigh Platter, and repeat
the procedure starting with step 7.
11. Press the Zero Push Button again to permanently store the calibration data and exit Calibration Mode. You have completed the calibration of the scanner/scale. The unit’s calibration must now be
verified as required by state and/or local weights and measures regulations. The verification procedure must be performed to assure that

Programming
Introduction to Label Programming
The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow you
to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner (scanner/scale). To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the
programming bar codes in this manual and other product-specific publications to program scanner features.
This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of all
levels to find the information needed to understand and configure features. The following descriptions will help you to determine where to go
from here.

Understanding the Basics
If you have little or no prior experience with programming using bar code
labels, you should review the first few pages of this chapter to familiarize
yourself with the basics of scanner programming before performing any
changes to your configuration.

Product Reference Guide

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System
Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface
board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Contact your dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner’s
hardware compatibility.
You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if
you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the factory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for specific interface types (see Appendix E, Factory Defaults for more
information); however, your scanner may have been custom configured
with settings that are unique to your company or application.
Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what
changes will be required to allow communication with your host system
and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installation. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this chapter,
then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program
the scanner.
When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scanner is ready to be placed into operation.

Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation
Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:

6-2

•

General Scanner and Scale Features — are features common to all
interface types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as volume and length, read verification settings, etc.

•

EAS Features — control the settings for interfacing with the Sensormatic® ScanMax ProTM EAS device.

Magellan® 9500

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host Sys-

•

CAUTION

Interface Related Features — are the mandatory settings necessary
to allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of these
settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.

It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the interface type (for
example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care should be taken to select
the correct interface type, since you can cause damage to the scanner and/or
POS terminal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS
make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.

Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the current interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface.
The scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming labels for
features invalid to the current interface group.
NOTE

•

Symbology Programming — gives the scanner the capability to
autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbologies. For optimal scanner performance enable only those symbologies required. Additionally the scanner may be programmed with
the standard options available for the various symbologies, such as
check digit, minimum label length, fixed and variable length bar
codes, etc.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales representative.

Programming Overview
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of three ways:
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host
commands are available. Refer to Appendix D for more details or

2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner is to
use the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programmining Kit. Ask
your dealer for more information about this product.
3. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scanner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code
labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s features
and options.
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scanner
will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.
NOTE

Programming via Handheld Device
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxilliary port using a
handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability
to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes
presented in this manual. Datalogic models QuickScan® 1000 and
QuickScan® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format
requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this
manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be
set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation.

Programming Overview

What Is Programming Mode?
Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in
order to accept commands via programming bar code labels. When programming using the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically
placed in Programming Mode by scanning the SWITCH label.
While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes ONLY the
special programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See
Appendix A for information about scanner indications while in the Programming Mode.

Entering and Exiting Programming Mode.
Use the bar code label below to enter and exit (‘switch” into and out of )
Programming Mode.

SWITCH LABEL
Product Reference Guide

Programming Session
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to place the scanner in Programming
Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner may
emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the
scanner (top) green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are
disabled.
2. Scan the programming bar code(s) that is (are) specially encoded to
make the desired changes. With few exceptions1, the scanner will
emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming bar code.
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will sound an
error tone when scanning programming bar codes for features invalid to the
current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface
will be implemented.
NOTE

If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previous
configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.
NOTE

Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scanning the SWITCH bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to
exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature
you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar codes scanned during the session will take effect.

1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

6-6

Magellan® 9500

Programming Overview

NOTE

It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one feature at a
time. Should you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it can be
difficult to discover where an error has been made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session.

3. Scan the SWITCH bar code to save any new settings and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset upon
exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return to its
usual state (on steady or off ).
The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following conditions:
— the programming sequence has been completed or the
SWITCH bar code is scanned
— five minutes have passed without scanning activity. Any data
programmed during the current session will be ignored1, and
the scanner will reset and revert to its condition previous to
initiating the exited session.
— power is disconnected. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the SWITCH bar code,
will cause all new settings to be ignored. On power-up, the
scanner will return to previous settings.
4. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know
if the original factory settings have been changed.

1. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scanner will
operate on the default settings for the new interface.

Product Reference Guide

Programming Sequence
To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained
in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the
feature being programmed (as shown in Table 6-1). There are three possible programming sequences:

NOTE

If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface
configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session.
(Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to the factory default for that interface type.)

A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demonstrates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the following:
1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar
code).
2. Scan the Item Tag1 that will enable the new feature.
3. End the programming session and reset the scanner
(SWITCH bar code).
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requiring
the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is placed in
Programming Mode and an Item Tag1 is scanned. Then, a value
must be entered before ending the programming session. In the
example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in
Appendix C. This type of format, requiring several bar codes, is necessary to allow flexible programming for item values with larger
numeric ranges.
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scanning
of a single, extended length bar code. This special programming bar
code contains all the data necessary to enter Programming Mode, set
the Item Tag1 and Item Value, and exit Programming Mode (all in
one step).

1. An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming
bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.

LED and Beeper Indicators
The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify/announce the various
scanner functions.

If You Make a Mistake...
If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the
scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the
Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes
made during previous programming sessions.

Return to Factory Settings
Scan this bar code to return the scanner to the default settings configured
at the factory for the currently active interface. This bar code is typically
used to return the scanner to a “known” operating state when the present
programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.
Use this bar code with caution, since it will reset ALL features that may have
been programmed since the scanner’s installation.
CAUTION

NOTE

DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning this bar code,
as the bar code below automatically enters and exits Programming Mode as
a part of its function. If this bar code is scanned following a SWITCH bar
code, it will simply cause the scanner to exit Programming Mode without
making changes.

Test Mode
Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This
special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is
not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code
to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS
terminal.
To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DISABLE bar code below.
DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning the bar codes
on this page.

UPC-A and EAN-13 Decoding Levels
Decoding levels allow the decoder to be set to perform at one of four
selectable levels:
•

Very Conservative — Slower scan time, virtually eleminates misreads. The most secure setting.

•

Slightly More Aggressive — Faster scanning, more aggressive, yet
minimizes misreads.

•

Moderately Aggressive — Even faster scanning, even more aggressive.

•

Very Aggressive — Fastest scan speed, most aggressive.

Use caution when setting this feature, as the aggressive settings for this feature allow a higher potential for misreads.

Appendix F
Handheld Data Format
Requirements
This appendix provides application notes to describe the general format of
data that can be accepted by the scanner through the auxilliary port as
transmitted from a handheld scanner.

Handheld Data Format Requirements General
•

9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

•

RTS is used to "bracket" the data received from the handheld: RTS
must be asserted high during data transmission, and de-asserted
after label transmission is complete. No other flow control mechanisms are required or supported.

•

Symbologies requiring fixed lengths (UPC/EAN) will enforce length
requirements for validation of the label.

•

Handheld will be required to transmit start and stop characters for
Codabar and Code 39 labels.

•

Appropriate industrial length requirements will be enforced (if configured) for validation of the label.

•

Maximum label lengths will be enforced for label validation (i.e.
labels longer than the maximum label size will not be validated).

•

Standard Datalogic formats generally use a single prefix character.
The specific formats are provided below.

AIM Formats
AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label
data for transmission. Because AIM specifies one identifier for UPC-A,
UPC-E and EAN-13 labels, UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 will be received
from the handheld and transmitted by the scanner as EAN-13. The ']'
character must be the first character received in the label transmission
from the handheld.
The following sections describe the prefix strings and identify what specific label characteristics can be supported.

UPC-A
•

AIM does not specify UPC-A as a separate symbology using this
transmission format - labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.
