Getting Started
The MagellanTM 3200VSi On-Counter Vertical Presentation Scanner is designed for small coun-
ter retail checkout environments where there is a relatively high number of transactions with a
fairly small number of items per transaction. The scanner has a reduced footprint, allowing
more room for item merchandising of high margin impulse items clustered around the P.O.S.
About This Manual
This manual provides advanced user information, including connection, programming, product
and cable specifications, and other useful references. For additional information, such as instal-
lation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information, see the Quick Reference Guide
(QRG). Copies of other publications for this product are downloadable free of charge from the
website listed on the back cover of this manual.
On leaving the factory, units are programmed for the most common terminal and communica-
tions settings. If you need to change these settings, custom programming can be accomplished
by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
Bold text and a yellow-highlighted background indicates the most common default setting for a
feature/option.
Manual Conventions
The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of key issues or procedures
that must be observed when using the scanner:
NOTE
Notes contain information necessary for properly
diagnosing, repairing and operating the scanner.
CAUTION
The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions that
could damage equipment or property.

Connecting the Scanner
The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your
installation. Alternatively, if your scanner receives Power Off the Terminal (POT) it might be
possible to connect using a cable from a previously existing installation (except for USB). If you
wish to connect using an existing cable, but cannot use POT, a short adapter cable is available.
Check with your technical support representative about compatibility before connecting. Use
the appropriate instructions below when you’re ready to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC
or other host device.
Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to
the Interface Related Features section of this manual and scan the bar code to select the correct
interface type.
RS-232 Serial Connection —
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner
to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1a. If the terminal will
not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power
supply (AC Adapter) as shown in Figure 1b. Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the
socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

USB Connection —
Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct
USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 1.
IBM Connection —
Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the terminal/PC using the cor-
rect IBM cable. Reference Figure 1.
Keyboard Wedge Connection —
Before connection, turn off power to the terminal/PC.
The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the scanner. Connect the female to the
male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC.
Reference Figure 1a.
Error Codes
If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three seconds) and flash its
LED, indicating a failure. When this occurs, press the Scanner Pushbutton to hear the error
code. If it is configured to do so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps corresponding to the
error code and/or flash its LED simultaneous to the beeps. The table below describes what these
codes mean and what action should be taken for each.
NOTE
USB installations may require a power connection via an approved A/C
Adapter as shown in Figure 1b or Figure 1c. For example, this would be
the case if the scanner is connected along with a number of other devices
to a non-powered USB hub.

Mount Installation
Options for mounting the scanner to a wall or countertop include an L-Bracket or stackable
Risers (straight or tilted). Figure 2 shows the scanner being seated in an L-Bracket. Figure 3 dem-
onstrates the use of stackable Risers.
Figure 2. L-Bracket Mount
NOTE
Stackable Risers also require use of the L-Bracket in order to securely seat
the scanner in the topmost riser.

Figure 3. Using the Risers
Wall Mount
Attach the L-Bracket to the wall, securing it in the desired position with two screws through the
two holes in the back face of the L-Bracket as shown in Figure 2. Recommendation: Use two Pan
Head (8.2mm or 5/16” maximum head diameter) #8 screw with a thread profile that suits the
mounting surface material in the wall.
Countertop Mount
If using the L-Bracket alone for countertop installation, secure the bracket in place using two

Programming
The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the interface
type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interface Related Features sec-
tion, you can select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions
and programming bar codes available in that section and also the Data Editing and Symbologies
chapters of this manual.
Using the Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your
scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like the label below for resetting defaults, require
only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this
manual, however, require the scanner to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning
them. Scan a START/END bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the scanner is in
Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the START/
END bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode
and return the scanner to normal operation.
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you are unsure of what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some
options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings bar
code below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the cur-
rent configuration.
The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands for
the standard RS-232 interface in BOLD text on the following pages. Exceptions to default set-
tings for the other interfaces can be found in Appendix D, Factory Default Settings.

Image Capture
Image Capture
How to Capture an Image
There are two methods of capturing images as discussed below:
•Image Capture to a microSD Card by Scanning a Special Label
•Image Capture to the Host by Host Command
Image Capture to a microSD Card by Scanning a Special Label
Insert a micro SD card into the scanner, scan a capture label and place the item to be captured in
front of the scanner. If an optional Remote Camera Button is connected to the auxiliary port,
then press the Remote Camera Button to write an image to the microSD card. If no Remote
Camera Button is connected, the image will be written to the micro SD card five seconds after
scanning the capture label.
The format, size, contrast, brightness and compression use the configured values.
This Capture label format is as follows:
<FNC3>IMAGEFAUTO<CR>
The image filename is automatically increased from image000 to image999.
The date image file generated is not actual, since no real time clock is embedded in the scanner.
NOTE
The Capture label will not read unless a microSD card is inserted.
Image Capture
32
Magellan
TM
3200VSi
Image Capture to the Host by Host Command
This feature is only available for RS-232 and USB COM interfaces.
The host command format is as follows:
P<cnt>pSBC
where:
P - ASCII 'P' used as preamble of pass-through commands
<cnt> - binary value of 4 indicating 4 bytes to follow
p - ASCII lowercase 'p' ; command to take a picture
S - size value of image as ASCII character
‘S’ == uses scanner's configuration value
‘0’-VGA, (640X480)
‘1’-WVGA, (752X480)
‘2’-SXGA, (1280x1027)
‘3’-CIF (320x240)
B - brightness value in ASCII
‘B’ == uses scanner's configuration value CI_IMAGE_BRIGHTNESS
else ‘0’ thru’9’ specifies brightness
C - contrast value in ASCII
‘C’ == uses scanner configuration value CI_IMAGE_CONTRAST
else ‘0’ thru’9’ specifies contrast
IF the image is of a type the scanner supports, capture and transmission occurs, and the com-
mand is of proper format
THEN
The scanner will transmit an ACK (0x06) to the Host in response to this command.
The image data transmission starts with a 4 byte binary field representing (Big Endian)
number of bytes to follow.
If the “number of bytes to follow” value is zero, there was a problem with generating the
image and the request should be retried.
ELSE
The scanner will transmit a BEL (0x07) to the Host in response to this command.

necessary. If, for example, one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering
data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requiring transmission to the
host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 channel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set
via RS-232 Host Echo Quiet Interval). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before sending its

Data Editing
Data Editing Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined
data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific
user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbolo-
gies. Figure 5-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:
Figure 5-1. Breakdown of a Message String
Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated
feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings
for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings)
across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM
interfaces.

Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2. Prefix and Suffix Positions
Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In this
example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.
4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix C, Alpha-
Numeric Pad.
5. Scan the END bar code once to finish the string, then scan END again to exit Program-
ming Mode.
6. The resulting message string would appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:12345
Resulting message string output: $12345
NOTE
If all 20 characters will be used in the prefix or suffix, do
not scan the END bar code to finish the string. It is done

Label ID
A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See Appendix D, Factory Default Set-
tings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be appended previous to or following the
transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides
options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program
the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see
the previous feature, AIM ID.
The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of which are 00-FF)
followed by a control character (00-01), This control character, when set to zero, does nothing.
When set to one, it appends the symbology’s AIM ID to the Label ID.
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar
code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label
ID.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the
Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back
cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of
Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indi-
cates its associated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-
ters determined in the previous step. For example, to make an equal sign (=), scan ‘3’ and
‘D’ followed by ‘0’ six times. Since this is a three-character buffer, ‘00’ is scanned for char-
acter two, ‘00’ for character three and ‘00’ for the control character. (‘00’ indicates no
character.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
Figure 5-4. Label ID Position Options
NOTE
When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and
UPC-E, it expands the label to EAN-13 and thus follows
the EAN-13 Label ID settings.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs
represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that
will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the charac-
ter to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and
the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs
are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conversion:
BG25TB82.
The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to the
numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined as in the above
example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find
the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-
ters determined in the previous step. When the last character is scanned, the scanner will
sound a triple beep.
5. Scan the START/END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

The positions not used must be filled with the character ‘F’.

This option directs the scanner to ignore add-on portion of a UPC/EAN bar code but
still read the main portion of the bar code.
2 Digits—
The scanner will optionally read 2-digit add-ons with the UPC/EAN label.
5 Digits—
The scanner will optionally read 5-digit add-ons with the UPC/EAN label.
Code 128 Add-on—
The scanner will optionally read Code 128 add-ons with the UPC/EAN

microSD Card
microSDHC Compatibility
At the time of this writing, the micro SD card interface for this product supports SD-Memory Card Specifications/
Part 1. Physical Layer Specification; Version 1.01, but the processor MCI can communicate with SDHC Cards. For
example, the scanner can perform the functions specified in this appendix for the SDA 2.0 specification.
microSD Card Insertion/Removal Indication
The scanner will audibly indicate insertion and removal of a micro SD card if the test port is not active or host
commands are not in progress.
Autorun File Processing
After insertion of the card, the scanner will mount the micro SD card and search for the file “autorun.dls”. Embed-
ded in that file is a validation pattern of the ASCII strings “$START$” and “$END$” located at the respective
starting and ending of the file.
If the validation pattern is found, the file may contain any of the following commands. The scanner will parse the
file taking action according to these commands. Filenames in italics specify a user-defined name.
Example autorun.dls file:
$START$ (required)
CARDINFO
CONFIG, filename.tex
DUMPSTATS, filename.txt
DUMPCFG, filename.tex
LOADSW, filename.bin
LOADHW, filename.vme
$END$ (required)

NOTE
The image file name range is from image000 to image999. if the same name already
exists in the micro SD card, the scanner skips that name and uses the next. For exam-
ple, if image000.jpg is already used in the micro SD card, the scanner uses
image001.jpg. The time stamp is not real, since scanner does not have a real time
clock.
Image format (.bmp, .jpg), image size (VGA, WVGA, Full size), Brightness (0~9), con-
trast (0~9), and JPG compression ratio (0~100) are defined in configuration.
