B. Replace Current Bar Code Scanner

Disconnect scanner cable from keyboard port of the analyzer, disconnect the
keyboard cable from existing scanner. Follow steps 2 to 6 in Section A.

Scanner Operation:

To scan bar codes, hold the scanner approximately 1.2 inches away and aim
directly at the bar code. Squeeze the trigger handle on the underside of the
reader to activate the red light beam. Aim the beam of light to scan horizontally
across the entire bar code length as shown below. A successful read will be
indicated by an audible beep. When a successful read is indicated, the scanner
will automatically enter standby mode, and the light beam will turn off. The
scanner is then ready to scan the next bar code.

Cleaning the Scanner Lens:

The Bar Code Scanner may have trouble reading bar codes if the lens becomes
dirty or smudged. Clean the scanner lens to correct the problem.

Materials Required:

• Cotton swabs

• Deionized water or denatured alcohol

• Lint-free cloth

Procedure:

1. Dampen a cotton swab with deionized water or denatured alcohol.

2. Gently swab the Bar Code Scanner lens.

3. Dry the lens with a lint-free cloth before scanner use.

Note: Do not use cleaning materials that may scratch the lens.

Note: If you have any questions or require further assistance, U.S. customers

contact Abbott Customer Service at 1-877-4ABBOTT (1-877-422-2688).
Customers outside the U.S., contact your local Hematology Customer
Support representative.

Troubleshooting the Scanner:

If the scanner is not responding, or does not scan bar codes, use the
troubleshooting steps below.

• Verify proper scanner installation. Point the scanner at a piece of paper
and squeeze the trigger to see if the red light beam is activated.

• Verify the bar code printer is configured for the symbology and options
expected.

• Verify configuration of scanner matches the configuration of the bar code
printer.

• Verify the labels are not smudged or damaged.

• Verify proper label placement on the tube. Consult the CELL-DYN 1800
Operator’s Manual.

• Ensure the light beam scans across the entire length of the bar code.

• Verify the lens of the reader is clean. If the lens has splattered reagent or
sample residue on it, misreads will occur. Refer to Cleaning the Scanner
Lens section within this guide.

• Verify the quality of the bar codes printed by the bar code printer. There
may be a malfunction of the bar code printer.

• Try varying the read distance. Hold the reader approximately 1.2 inches
away from the bar code.

• Try varying the angle of the reader up or down slightly.

• Try reprogramming the reader using the appropriate codes in this
document.

Note: If misreads continue to occur after applying these troubleshooting

techniques, U.S. customers call Abbott Customer Service at
1-877-4ABBOTT (1-877-422-2688).

Customers outside the U.S., contact your local Hematology Customer
Support representative.

Programming the Scanner:

This manual contains information that allows the user to change certain pro­grammable parameters of the scanner. The scanner is ready to use - no addi­tional programming is required in most situations. The scanner has been
programmed at the factory with the most common settings. These factory
default settings are ideal for most situations.

A specific parameter is set or changed by scanning one or more of the special
programming bar codes found on the following pages. For each parameter,
user can choose from a menu of options. When scanning the special bar code
for a specific menu option, the scanner retains the changes that have been made
even if the scanner is disconnected from the power source.

Programming Instructions:

1. Select “KEYBOARD TYPE” option from the Table 1.

2. Scan the "START" barcode. The scanner will beep continuously to

indicate that it is ready to be programmed. When the scanner is in
Programming Mode, it cannot read normal bar code. It can only read the
special barcodes found on the following pages.

3. Select desired keyboard type and scan the bar code. The scanner will beep

once and the green light will flash, indicating the desired parameter has been
scanned. The scanner will continue to beep continuously while in
Programming Mode.

4. Scan the "END" barcode. The scanner will stop beeping, indicating that it is

back in normal scanning mode. The changes made while in Programming
Mode are now saved in the scanner's memory.

5. Select the “NO CHECK DIGIT” options from Table 2 OR

Select the “WITH CHECK DIGIT” options from Table 3.

6. Scan the "START" barcode. The scanner will beep continuously to

indicate that it is ready to be programmed. When the scanner is in
Programming Mode, it cannot read normal bar code. It can only read the
special barcodes found on the following pages.

7. Scan all the barcodes from Table 2 (or Table 3). The scanner will beep once

and the green light will flash, indicating the desired parameter has been
scanned. The scanner will continue to beep continuously while in
Programming Mode.

8. Scan the "END" barcode. The scanner will stop beeping, indicating that it is

back in normal scanning mode. The changes made while in Programming
Mode are now saved in the scanner's memory.

9. Proceed to Verifying the Configuration section within this guide.
