Preface

The MaxiScan 2500 DP is an innovative high-performance Bi-optic scanning
solution to provide hypermarket and supermarket retailers with the outstanding
benefits of dual plane scanning. Ergonomically designed for retailers with small
counter space but a high throughput, the scanner provides exceptional scanning
capabilities from any direction, including from the top - improving speed at
checkout and reducing operator fatigue.

The MaxiScan 2500 DP is also ideally suited for a range of retailers including:
pharmacies, department stores, petrol stations, convenience stores,
newsagents and drugstores.

With an exceptionally small footprint the MaxiScan is less than 11 cm deep in­counter and 22cm wide, giving maximum room for peripherals such as cash
drawers - as well as providing extra space under the counter for the cashiers
legs. The scanner also features a stainless steel sapphire top deck as standard
with a rubber suspension system for maximum durability. This manual contains
two chapters and three appendices. The first chapter describes the MaxiScan
2500 DP scanner, its general features as well as the way in which it can be
used. The precise instructions for installing the scanner are listed in the second
chapter. Default settings can be changed using the bar code labels in the
Configuration Guide supplied with the scanner. Appendix A shows all connectors
of the scanner. Technical specifications of the MaxiScan can be found in
Appendix B. Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting if the scanner is not
working properly.

1.1 UNPACKING THE MAXISCAN 2500 DP

Take the scanner and its accessories out of the box and remove all packing
materials. Refer to the packing list in order to ensure that you have received all
the items ordered. Visually inspect the scanner and accessories for any visible
traces of damage. Refer to the figure on page 7 to locate the interface label and
verify if 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 2500 DP are:

Sleep mode switch If a sleep mode time-out has been programmed, the

scanner can be reactivated by pressing this switch.
The sleep-mode feature can be programmed by
means of the menu labels in 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 sounds whenever data has been

correctly read. Both frequency and volume can be
adjusted by means of the menu labels from the
Configuration Guide.

Top deck The top deck, or horizontal scanner window can be

changed for a different type. Just sligthly lift the deck
at the front side and pull it towards you.

Product flow indicators The product flow indicators (two embossed arrows on

the stainless-steel top deck frame) indicate the
direction in which the products must be passed along
the scanner windows.

1.2 SCANNING BAR CODES WITH THE MAXISCAN 2500 DP

The MaxiScan 2500 DP is an omnidirectional scanner featuring a 14-directional
scan field with a 28-lines scan pattern. Its scan volume is illustrated by the
larger light-coloured cube in the figure above. The optimal reading zone is
indicated by the smaller dark-coloured cube, the so-called ‘sweet spot’.

It does not matter how you present the product to the scanner. The scanner will
read the bar code in any position and from any direction, for example:
Scanning a bar code label in fly-by mode is simply done by passing the bar code
label on the product along the scanner as illustrated in the figure below. You can
either pass the product from left to right or vice versa.
