Weighing

Physical Parameters
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:
Operation and Maintenance on page 49 section of this manual.
Proper Weighing Technique (Scale Models), refer to the
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 Weight
The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.01 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 limits 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 Button located on the control panel.

Scale SentryTM Option

The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to ensure they are not overhanging and touching non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s infrared (IR) beams sense items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter, the speaker will sound a unique tone and/or the ScaleSentry LED indicator will illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condition. ScaleSentry optionally blocks the transmission of weight to the host depending on how it is config ured (see "Scale Sentry" starting on page 154). The scanner/scale can be pro­grammed to just beep and/or light the LED if there is a ScaleSentry issue. Reference ScaleSentry options and details.

1. The scale can also be set at the factory for 9.99 kg max.
2. Acceptable limits 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.

Warm-Up Time

There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanning-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 oper ation.
Power-up
Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.

Electrical Specifications

Before installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets the scanner’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for compatibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges from 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will supply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of excess electrical noise.
Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale. If the cord will not plug into your AC power receptacle, the power cord shipped is not compatible with your electrical system. Please contact your distributor immediately to receive the necessary information and components to ensure electrical compat ibility.

Power Supply

The scanner utilizes a single power supply for all models. Unique installation and international connections are accomplished through selection of the proper IEC power cord

Site Preparation and Installation

This chapter provides instructions for design and preparation of the checkstand for scanner or scanner-scale installation. It also specifies physical parameters, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit instal lation for different models.
There are three basic steps:
1. SECTION I. Pre-Installation Considerations, below
2. SECTION II. Checkstand Preparation, starting on page 27
3. SECTION III. Installation, starting on page 32
Once the procedures in this chapter are complete, the scanner is ready for operation. If a scanner-scale was installed, calibration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must consult the local weights and mea sures authority to ensure that all legal requirements are met concerning cali­bration and certification. See "Calibration Procedures" starting on page 75 for detailed procedures for calibrating the scale in either pounds or kilograms.
SECTION I. PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Chapter 2

This manual does not cover all factors relating 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 repet itive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.
Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergonomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), Occupational Safety and Health Administra tion (OSHA) 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 suggestions for ergonomic improvement of checkstand designs and scanner installation, main tenance and usage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of the complete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommen dations, contact FMI, OSHA and NIOSH at the addresses listed in "References"

Ergonomic Recommendations

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. Use a powered in-feed conveyor to help cashiers bring the items to their best work zone, rather than leaning and reaching to get items further up the conveyor.
3. 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.
4. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away conveyors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the products).
5. 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 or “sweeper” to direct prod ucts closer to the cashier.
6. 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.
7. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to eliminate extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.
8. Place the conveyor belt electronic eye close to the scanner, but allow suffi­cient area between the eye to ensure the belt does not push items in to the scanning field.
-
9. Locate commonly used items such as the cash drawer and printer within easy horizontal reach.
10. Remove, round-off, or pad sharp or hard edges with which the cashier may come into contact.
11. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height of 33 - 43.2 cm (13 ­17”) lower than the top surface of the checkstand to reduce stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated with lifting products into bags.
12. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scanner, due to the increased reach involved.
13. Position the scanner’s horizontal scanning surface 86.4 - 91.4 cm (34 ­36”) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of 12.7 cm (5”) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.
14. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizontal reach).
15. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devices the cashier uses within easy reach (less than 46 cm/18”).
16. Provide adequate toe space (at least four inches), foot rests or rails, antifa­tigue mats, and where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which the cashiers can lean.

Checkstand Design

Counter Preparation
Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either configuration.
The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomi cally 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 section titled, 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 multi-side 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. Move ment should flow naturally over the surface of the scanner.
Figure 7 shows a typical “left-hand-take-away” checkstand design.

Site Requirements

Consider the following factors before installing the scanner/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 tem perature in the checkstand around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
The scanner-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing appa ratus. Figure 8 shows the debris chutes and ventilation slots. The checkstand design must:
keep the ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the scanner below 104°F (40°C).
allow a source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air flow.
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 (51m fan is installed, it is recommended to use one with a removable filter that may be washed or replaced.
DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed check­stand. Provide a MINIMUM of 103.2 cm2 of air intake from below
the installation for sufficient convective cooling.

Ergonomic Recommendations
Service Access Requirements
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).
Recommended Power Installation
Since the typical grocery environment 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).
Liquid Drainage
Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liq­uids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.
Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can flow through the check­stand without pooling.
Leveling
Both flange mount and shelf mount scanners may require leveling during installation to ensure the platter is flush or just below flush with the counter. Each type is leveled using different methods:
Shelf mounted scanners use built-in leveling screws that mount to the
support rail and can be adjusted as needed. These adjustable leveling screws are adjusted from the top of the scanner with a slotted screw driver, with the platter removed. They should be adjusted so the platter is flush with the top of the counter.
For a flange mount scanner, adjustment screws must be provided by the
user if leveling is required. The leveling screws should be installed where shown on the counter cutout/ installation page (see
Cutout, starting on page 27). Similarly to the shelf mount scanner, the
flange mount scanner platter should be adjusted level to the top of the counter.
Counter
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 and the optional Remote Scale Display. Note that cables may drop straight down from the scanner’s connector panel, or may be 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 (if one is present). Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed later in this section.

SECTION II. CHECKSTAND PREPARATION
When performing a first-time installation into a new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop rout ing, or other such devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you may wish to install an item diverter to direct items toward the scan window. See “Counter Cutout” below for more details concerning the location and preparation of the opening.
Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into openings cut for previously installed scanners such as other Magellan scanner models 7874/5/6/7/8. Other models are designed for applications
with smaller footprint requirements. Additionally, a Customer Service Scanner (CSS) module can be optionally included with a scanner for installation. The module can be installed in various positions depending upon the checkstand design and desired mode(s) of customer interaction. See the CSS Quick Refer ence Guide (QRG) for more details.

3. Drill any holes required to 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. See also "Recommended Power Installation" on page 21.
• Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replacement is
required. A little planning now will save a lot of frustration later. See also "Service Access Requirements" on page 21.

SECTION III. INSTALLATION

Overview

The preceding Site Requirements on page 20 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.
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, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your checkstand has been prepared, proceed as follows:
1. Unpack the unit.
2. Route & Connect Cables.
3. Powerup & Operational Verification.
4. Connect to POS system, re-test to verify operation when connected to the POS system.
5. Install unit in counter.
1. Unpack
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 instal lation is complete.
Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the unit from the carton.
B
e 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 23 and remove the protective foam pieces securing the weigh mechanism. Set the platter back in place.
For added protection during shipment, the AllWeighs™ Platter is

2.1 Route the Cables
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 17).
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.

Grounding
The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise (interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure the input line voltage.
2.2 Connect cables
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 sys tem.
1. Place the unit on the checkstand next to the counter cutout.
2. Route the cables up through the cutout and connect the scanner and scale
interface cable(s), and Remote Scale Display cable (optional) to the scan ner. Some POS terminals require two interface cables; one for the scanner interface and one for the scale interface. Refer to nection locations.
If you have a scanner with no scale, there will be only one interface cable to the POS terminal.
3. Connect the power cord to the scanner and route the other end down
through the checkstand to the AC power outlet. DO NOT plug the power cord in at this time.
4. OPTIONAL — Route your EAS antenna cable down through the checkstand
cutout. (Reference your EAS controller’s setup instructions for proper EAS antenna installation.)

tions. These two warm-up periods may run concurrently.
3. Verify that the scanner or scanner-scale passes an operational test by observing the following:
Scanner — Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner’s windows.
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).
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. ( “EAS Mode” on page 186.) To test EAS system function:
Coupled Mode — Pass an item containing both a bar code and an active EAS tag over the scanner. Successful deactivation is indicated by the bot tom-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 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 direc tion 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.

4. Integration with POS
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 powerdown and powerup pro cedures 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.

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.
5.1 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. If you have not already done so, refer to on page 19.
The scanner will need to be installed so that leading and trailing edges of the All Weighs™ Platter are flush with the countertop to enhance smooth, slide­through scanning platter provide the necessary clearance for proper scale operation if you are installing a scanner-scale (you won’t need to provide additional gap for that).

3. Lower the unit into the counter opening, ensuring that none of the cables are pinched, pierced or crimped.
4. View the bubble level (if present1) located on the scanner's spider assem­bly to ensure the scanner is level. As shown in the insert of Figure 23, the air bubble should appear fully within the circle indicated. The air bubble can touch the circle, but must not overlap it. Apply shims beneath the scanner flange or adjust the leveling feet to allow level installation.
5. Mount the horizontal surface of the All-Weighs Platter flush with the coun­tertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting.
6. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 20.3 - 25.4 cm (8 - 10 inches) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side).
7. Reinstall 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. Ensure that leveling is maintained if adjustments are made.
Failure to install a scanning-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

The information in this section 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 clean ing the upper and lower windows.

Scanning Items

To scan items, slide or push them over the scanner as shown in Figure 29. Also see Figure 4 for views showing the scan zone. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is no need to reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner can read the left, right, front and back side, as well as the bottom of an item.

Proper Scanning Technique

ScaleSentry
TM
Beams
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:
Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 29).
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 pre vent 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.

Proper Weighing Technique (Scale Models)

1. The L-shaped All-WeighsTM platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. The raised lip on the end also provides a convenient way to
ensure items do not rest on the counter or other non-weighing surfaces.
It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be accurately recorded. An optional ScaleSentry

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.

Scanning Items
Using the Optional ScaleSentry
If the scanning-scale has been equipped with ScaleSentryTM, infrared (IR) beam(s) are emitted along one or both long edges of the platter (See
30b). During the process when items are being weighed, if an item approaches
too closely or extends past the edges of the weighing surface, this is detected by the IR beam(s) and the scanner will indicate a ScaleSentry event by illuminat ing its ScaleSentry indicator LED and/or sounding a special ScaleSentry tone. These indications are configurable, and can be enabled or disabled using the
Programming on page 93 section of this manual.
Depending upon how ScaleSentry is configured, a scale transaction cannot be completed until: 1) The item(s) are physically repositioned to rest fully on the platter without overhanging the side, or until 2) The ScaleSentry button is pushed, overriding the condition, or 3) It can also be configured to only indicate the error, but still transmit the weight to the POS.

Operational Controls

The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix
A, LED/Audio 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 com bined 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
Operational Controls
-
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 inter face prior to indicating that it is ready for operation.
A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature.
Chapter 7, Power-up Tone Control in this manual.
See
NOTE
-
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 Health & Status Indicator 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 indi cated, make note of it and contact your supervisor or technical support repre­sentative. A table containing descriptions of these error codes is included in
Chapter 5, Problem Isolation.
If a non-fatal1 error is detected (such as a EAS deactivation system error), the unit will sound a long, low tone and display a number on the Health & Status Indicator. The unit will advance to Normal Operating Mode, but performance may be affected until a correction or repair is made.

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.

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 sym bologies you designated. If you need to change this configuration information for any reason, changing the unit’s settings.

Diagnostic Mode

Refer to Chapter 2, Scale Diagnostic Mode, for details about running scanner and scale diagnostics. Turn to Chapter 5, Problem Isolation, for a description of error codes resulting from diagnostics.

Chapter 7, Programming, contains special bar code labels for

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.
Pressing and holding the Scanner Control Button for ten seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of beeps. For more information, see the topic,
Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation on page 53 earlier in this section.

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.
Product Reference Guide
55
Page 68
Zeroing the Scale
The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store person­nel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero 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 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 Button. (See ).
3. The Zero1 light will turn on and the display will show 0.00 lb (0.000 kg). If it does not, see Chapter 5, Problem Isolation.
4. You have completed the scale zeroing function.
Alternatively, a reset (cycling power to the scanner) may also allow the scale to re-zero.
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, 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
dures, 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 physi cally continue to weigh products, a broken seal may require recertification by a proper authority as designated by your local laws.

Image Capture and Customer Service Scanner

The scanner provides an image capture function, and can optionally include a Customer Service Scanner (CSS) for customer convenience. These premium fea tures offer state-of-the-art functionality to point of sale transactions.

Image Capture Feature

In addition to scanning bar codes, the scanner can optionally be used to photo­graph images presented to the right side of the vertical window1. The sales associate presses the scanner’s Image Capture/CSS button (see Figure 34) to initiate Image Capture and take pictures.
The way in which the scanner takes pictures in Image Capture Mode is a configurable feature. See details.
NOTE
Pictures can be optionally saved to an archive drive or other device via a cable connection to the USB ‘B’ Image port (see
Figure 34. Image Capture
Chapter 7, Programming for more
Figure 3).

Optional CSS Feature

Coupon
The Customer Service Scanner (CSS) provides a convenient way for the customer to present digital coupons or other bar codes from a cell phone or other device for convenient reading during checkout. Items to be scanned are presented to the down-facing CSS as shown in

Enable/Disable CSS

For systems which include an optional CSS, it is possible to program the Image Capture/CSS button on the scanner so that the sales associate can activate or deactivate the CSS using that button. This allows the associate to control when customers are able to scan bar codes. See details about this option.
For more information about the Customer Service Scanner, reference the CSS Quick Reference Guide (QRG).

The troubleshooting references provided in this section should be used in the event of a suspected functional problem. This information will assist you in identifying and resolving any problems.
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 Health & Status Indicator (FRU status) display
flash its indicator 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 pre­operational period is the time between power-up and normal operation during which the software, firmware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems are fully functional before turning on. Refer to
Operation and Maintenance on page 49 for a more detailed description of this
and other scanner and scale modes.
Chapter 5

Problem Isolation

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 Health & Status Indicator, and operation may be halted. If you press the Scanner Control Button at that time, a series of tones will be sounded that matches the error code displayed.
Product Reference Guide 63
Page 76

Diagnostic Tests

See Chapter 2, Scale Diagnostic Mode, 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 section describes these failure indications and includes trou bleshooting 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 trou bleshooting flowcharts focus on these components. Additionally, the optional Remote Scale Display, AC/DC Power Supply and their cables are potential prob lems addressed in this section.
The flowcharts provided in this section 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 caused by faulty cable, power supply or remote display, you can fix the problem by replacing the defective component and complete the installation.

Error Codes

If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a low tone and the LEDs on the left control panel will perform a “walking pattern” top to bottom indicating a failure. The Health & Status Indicator ( as follows:
Figure 37) will display an error sequence
1. An “equals” (=) sign always leads the sequence.
2. A (Field Replaceable Unit) FRU indication code is displayed next. For two­digit numbers, there will be a blank in between each number.
3. Next, a dash (or hyphen) is displayed (-).
4. Finally, the indicator will display an (Event Viewer) EVT code. This code provides more advanced details about the failure for use by the repair technician. If you are unable to resolve a problem, take note of the entire FRU Indication Sequence and be prepared to communicate it to Technical Support when you make contact for assistance.

Calibration Procedures

This section applies to scanner/scale models with single or dual interval. Make sure to follow the proper associated procedure for each of these options. Procedures specific to single interval units
NOTE
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
when changing the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or vice­versa
if diagnostics indicate a calibration error
when removing/replacing any scale assembly or the Main Board
when required by local regulations
Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.
is highlighted in a coral color. Procedures specific to dual interval units is highlighted in a teal color.
These procedures are not applicable for adaptive scale models. Consult your adaptive scale documentation or the adaptive scale manufacturer for more information.
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 agen cies 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.
-
DO NOT apply a calibration seal to include the EAS antenna (if
CAUTION
one is present). Reference removed for other reasons, this would unnecessarily cause the scale to require recalibration.

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 (31.5­pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric calibration. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses the certi fied 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 instructions in this section 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 reg ulatory 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).
-
-

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 Zero lamp is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds,
0.000 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 switch on the operator’s panel. The Zero lamp should turn Off and the Remote Display should not display 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
3. Remove your hand from the weighing platform and verify that the Zero lamp is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or
0.000 kilograms.
1. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weight from this set. e.g. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two 5.00 lb. weights.
2. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set. e.g. 10 kgs. may be made up of one 5.00 kg. and five

SINGLE INTERVAL DUAL INTERVAL
Automatic Zero Setting Test
Place 0.006 pounds (3 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 kilo grams).
Place 0.0035 pounds (1.6 grams for metric) on the center of the weighing platform. The entire weight must be placed on the weighing plat form at once for this test to be valid. The Zero lamp should go Off and the Remote Display

should read 0.005 pounds (0.002 kilograms).
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 Zero lamp will remain On and the Remote Display
NOTE
will read 0.00 pounds or 0.000 pounds (0.000 kilograms). When the weight is removed, the Zero lamp will turn off and the display
will show a minus sign

the scale.

Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration

1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable.
-
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 to acclimate.
