Preface
The MaxiScan M2400 VS is a high performance food retail bar code laser
scanner, optimized for horizontal scanning. Thanks to its real vertical scan lines,
the need to lift and tilt the product being scanned has disappeared and operator
fatigue is reduced. Consequently, checkout efficiency increases. The MaxiScan
2400 VS’ stainless steel top deck and suspended metal shock proof scanner
housing ensures a long scanner life time. Since the Mexican’s height is only 75
mm, installation is flexible and ergonomic under all circumstances.
An auxiliary port is standard, for connecting other scanners. A handheld
scanner, for example, can be connected for heavy or voluminous products.
A bi-optic scanning solution is realized by connecting the MaxiScan 2400 VS
with a vertically installed MaxiScan 2300 HS, transforming your checkout in a
high volume throughput system.
This manual contains two chapters and three appendices. The first chapter
describes the MaxiScan 2400 VS and its general features. Installation
instructions are described in the second chapter. Follow the installation
instructions precisely.
Default settings can be changed with the bar code labels in the Configuration
Guide provided with the scanner.
Appendix A illustrates all scanner connectors. Technical specifications for the
scanner are found in Appendix B. If the scanner is not working properly, refer to
Appendix C for troubleshooting hints.

Top deck release button - Pushing this button will release the top deck for
maintenance or replacement.

1.2 SCANNING BAR CODES WITH THE MAXISCAN 2400 VS
The MaxiScan 2400 VS is an omni-directional scanner featuring a 5 directional
scan field with a 15 lines scan pattern. The scanner's scan volume is illustrated
in the figure below. The optimal reading zone lies between 0 and 7 cm from the
scanner window, but bar codes can be read up to 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the
scanner window.
Scanning a bar code label is very simple: pass the product’s bar code label
along the scanner as illustrated in the figure below.
