Preface
The MaxiScan 2300 VS is an innovative, high performance food retail scanner,
combining unequalled performances with enormous installation flexibility. It has a
unique four-directional sealed optical assembly, allowing it to be turned inside
the fixed scanner housing. This new benchmark for vertical supermarket and
hypermarket scanning ensures an ergonomic and user-friendly implementation
wherever it is installed. The MaxiScan is also one of the flattest scanners
available today, making installation at the check-out even easier.
Two versions of the MaxiScan are available, one unit has RS232C and OCIA
interfaces and the other has IBM RS485 and Keyboard Wedge interfaces. An
auxiliary port for connecting another scanner is standard.
This manual contains three chapters and three appendices. The first chapter
describes the MaxiScan 2300 VS and its general features. The MaxiScan can be
installed on a counter surface or on a flexible stand. Instructions for the
installation are described in the second chapter. Precisely follow the instructions
for the installation of the scanner. Default settings can be changed with the bar
code labels from the Configuration Guide that came with the scanner. The third
chapter describes all possible mounting options. Appendix A shows all
connectors of the scanner. Technical specifications of the MaxiScan 2300 VS
can be found in Appendix B. Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting if the
scanner is not working properly.

1.1 UNPACKING THE MAXISCAN 2300 VS
Remove the scanner and its accessories from the box and packing material.
Refer to the packing list to make sure you have received all the items ordered.
Visually inspect the scanner and accessories for any evidence of physical
damage. Refer to the figure on page 6 to locate the interface label and make
sure that the scanner interface corresponds with the host system interface.
Immediately contact your supplier if anything appears to be damaged, or if the
supported interface does not correspond with the host system interface.
The various parts of the MaxiScan 2300 VS are:

The various parts of the MaxiScan 2300 VS are:
Sleep mode switch - When a sleep mode time-out is programmed, the -
scanner can be re-activated by pressing this switch.
The sleep-mode feature is programmable with the
menu labels from the Configuration Guide.
NOTE: The default value for the sleep mode time-out
is set to 30 minutes. When the scanner is in
sleep mode, the LED is intermittently flashing
red.
LED - A red LED indicates that the scanner is ready to read
a bar code. A green LED indicates a good read.
Good read speaker - The speaker is heard whenever data has been read
correctly. The frequency and volume can be adjusted
with the menu labels from the Configuration Guide.

1.2 SCANNING BAR CODES WITH THE MAXISCAN 2300 VS
The MaxiScan 2300 VS is an omni-directional scanner featuring a 5 directional
scan field with a 20 lines scan pattern. The scanner's scan volume is illustrated
in the figure below. The optimal reading zone lies between 1 and 9 cm from the
scanner window, but bar codes can be read up to 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the
scanner window. The scanner can be used in either fly by or presentation mode.
Scanning a bar code label in fly by mode is very simple: pass the product’s bar
code label along the scanner as illustrated in the figure below.

1.3 SCANNER LABELLING
Two labels are present on the housing of the MaxiScan 2300 VS as indicated in
the figure below. Two labels are also visible through the scanner window. All
labels are attached by the manufacturer and should not be removed.
The scanner’s serial number is found underneath the bar code label as depicted
in the figure above. This official registration number is strictly related to the
device. The supplier may ask for this number when the scanner needs servicing.

Laser safety
English:
The M2300 VS scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a
Class I laser product. It also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a
Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term viewing of direct laser light.
German:

8 The MaxiScan 2300 VS
Norwegian:
M2300 VS skanneren er i samsvar med sikkerhetsstandarden IEC 825-1 (1993)
for laserprodukter i klasse I. Den er også i samvar med U.S. 21CFR1040 for
laserprodukter i klasse IIa. Unngå å se langvarig på direkte laserlys.
Italian:
Lo scanner M2300 VS è conforme alle norme di sicurezza IEC 825-1 (1993)
relative ad un prodotto laser di Classe 1. È inoltre conforme alla norma U.S.
21CFR1040 relativa ad un prodotto laser di Classe IIa. Evitare l'esposizione
prolungata all'emissione diretta di luce laser.
Portuguese:
O scanner M2300 VS está conforme as normas de segurança IEC 825-1
(1993) para a Classe 1 dos produtos laser. Também está conforme a norma
U.S. 21CFR1040 aplicada nos produtos laser da Classe IIa. Evite expor os
olhos directa e prolongadamente aos raios laser.
Spanish:
El scanner M2300 VS reune las normas de seguridad IEC 825-1 (1993) para un
producto laser de Clase 1. Y también reune las normas U.S. 21CFR1040 que
se aplican a un producto laser de Clase IIa. Se debe evitar mirar muy fijo en luz
lasérica directa.
Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.
Radiant Energy: The M2300 VS uses a low-power laser diode operating at
675 nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 0.5 mW peak
output power. Laser light observed at 3,5 cm (1.38 in.) above the window
through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less
than 3.9 µW per CDRH Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the
protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output
up to 0.7 mW could be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewer: The scanner window is the only aperture through which
laser light may be observed on this product.
A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser
beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The
scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary
laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its
power source immediately.
