Product Reference Guide 1-7

Laser and Product Safety

Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:

• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than
cleaning of the scan window(s) is required.

• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser
product. The system uses two embedded Class 3R Visible Laser
Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an opto­mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Maximum emitted peak output power at the window is 760µW. No
attempt should be made by the user to remove the protective hous­ing of the scanner.

• Laser Light Viewing. The scan window is the only aperture through
which laser light may be observed in this product.

CAUTION

Exposure to the light emitted from the scan window(s) has been shown
not to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after
millions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser
technology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the
world.

Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard.
(Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magni­fying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).

To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.

4. The scanner should beep to indicate it has passed the power-up Self­test routine, and the green LED (lamp) will light continuously, indi­cating the scanner is ready to scan.

Reference Chapter 4, Problem Isolation if the scanner does not

perform as expected.

5. Scan a few known-good bar code labels to verify operation. Upon
reading each bar code, the scanner should beep once and flash its
green LED.

Your scanner may only read one or two bar codes when not con­nected to a host terminal, requiring that you reset the scanner
before it will read again. This is normal, as some interface types
require the scanner to “buffer” (store) data until the terminal sig­nals its readiness to accept the data.

Once you’re satisfied of the scanner’s operation, disconnect power and
proceed to the installation instructions.

Installation: Model 2200VS

The Magellan® 2200VS scanner can either be used “freestanding,” or can
be conveniently mounted to a countertop or wall using the mounting
bracket. Provide a secure installation as described below.

1. Determine the best location for scanner installation. Some consider­ations are:

• Cable routing to and from the scanner: Can cables and connected

devices be routed in such a way as to be protected from damage or
tampering? Depending on your installation, it may be necessary
to drill a 1-1/4” (3.2cm) hole in the countertop or wall.

• Mounting stability. Avoid placing the scanner in such a way as to

subject it to excess vibration, bumping, spillage, etc.

• Peripheral connections from the scanner, such as a handheld

device.

Product Reference Guide 2-3

2. Determine if a cable-routing hole is necessary. If so, hold the scan­ner or mounting bracket in the desired, installed position to deter­mine the center of the hole. Mark the center and drill a 1-1/4”
(3.2cm) hole.

3. Secure the mount to the counter or wall using the two screws pro­vided with the mounting kit (see

Figure 2-2d). If the scanner is to

be used “freestanding” (not attached), remove the mounting bracket
(if installed) to take advantage of the non-skid pads located on the
bottom of the scanner.

4. Remove the Connector Cover and connect the cables to the scanner.
Reference

Figure 2-2a and Figure 2-1.

NOTE

5. Route the cables as shown in

Figure 2-2b or Figure 2-2c.

6. Switch the terminal OFF.

7. Connect the interface cable to the terminal.

8. Connect the AC Adapter to the AC outlet.

9. Switch the terminal ON.

10. Verify operation by scanning a few known-good bar code labels. The
scanner should now be communicating the bar code data to the
POS terminal.

Reference Chapter 4, Problem Isolation if the scanner does not

perform as expected.

11. Slide the scanner into its mount until it’s fully seated; taking care to
guide cables so they won’t be pinched or trapped between assem­blies. Reference

as described below.

1. Determine the best location for scanner. Some considerations are:

• Proximity to the user. Verify that checkstand features allow the

unit to be within easy reach of the user, without interfering with
cash drawers or other equipment.

• Cable routing to and from the scanner: Can cables and connected

devices be routed in such a way as to be protected from damage or
tampering?

• Mounting stability. Avoid placing the scanner in such a way as to

subject it to excess vibration, bumping, spillage, etc.

• Peripheral connections from the scanner, such as a handheld

device.

2. The countertop must be modified to accept the scanner. At the time
of this writing, three options are available.

Figure 2-3a shows the dimensions for the opening and other

—

details if a shelf is to be built to support the unit.

—

Figure 2-3b details the cutout dimensions if an adapter fixture

holding the scanner will rest with its rim above the countertop.

—

Figure 2-3c provides dimensions if an adapter fixture holding

the scanner will be recessed to be flush with the countertop.

3. Remove the Connector Cover, then connect and route the cables at
the scanner. Reference

Figure 2-4.

4. Seat the scanner or in the countertop opening (or adapter).

5. Switch the terminal OFF.

6. Connect the interface cable to the terminal.

7. Connect the scanner’s AC Adapter to the AC outlet.

Operational Controls

The function of scanner controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A,

details.

Operational Modes

The scanner features a number of modes that are important to both the
user and the system support personnel. These modes can be combined
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
LED (lamp) indicating readiness for operation. These steps include
Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and Operational Configuration.

. Turn to that appendix for full

NOTE

Power-Up/Selftest

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 and interface prior to indicating that it is
ready for operation.

A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See

the topic Power-up Beep Control in Chapter 5 of this manual.

3-4 Magellan

®

2200VS and 2300HS

Operational Modes

Error Reporting

If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the scanner will not
advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the
scanner to sound a long, low tone. When this occurs, error codes may be
accessed by momentarily pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button. The
beeper and LED will then emit a coded series of indications to assist the
repair technician in identifying the failed component. If an error is indi­cated, make note of the tones heard/LED flashes. A table containing a list­ing of the error codes is included in

Chapter 4.

Operational Configuration

Once Selftest diagnostics have been successfully run, a tone is emitted (if
configured to do so, and the unit enters an operational configuration state.
The scanner will automatically load your specific interface settings which
are required to communicate with the host system.

No bar code label can be in the scan volume while the unit is in this state.
Progress is halted until the label has been removed, thereby ensuring that
no extraneous bar code data is send to the host. When the scanner com­pletes its Selftest successfully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so)
and enters Operating Mode.

Operating Mode

Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning) and Sleep Mode.
These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator.

Normal Operation

This condition is indicated by the green light being on dim and steady.

LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be pro­grammed to operate in the standard manner described above.

NOTE

Product Reference Guide 3-5

Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown
sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called
time-out

1

), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to pro­long the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scan­ner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.

Sleep Mode

After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser
and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called
Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking
at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press the Volume/Tone Push
Button, wave your hand in front of the scan window, or scan an item
using an attached auxiliary scanner (if present). The scanner will recognize
these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal Operation.

reprogram scanner settings.

Scanner Diagnostic Mode

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is
allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes
while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner
stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host. When
the scanner is not connected to a host, it may read and store only up to
two labels, then quit reading until power is cycled (clearing the memory).
This mode of operation removes this limitation.

Additional Functions

Scanner Reset

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 scanner’s internal Selftest routine.

Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately
eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of
beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the
motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the
scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa­tion, see the topic,
chapter.

Operational Maintenance

The scanner will provide dependable service for many years. The follow­ing maintenance procedures will keep it operating at peak performance.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior surface of the scan window at least twice daily with a
nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free
cleaning tissues. Textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also be
cleaned using these cleaning agents.

Problem Isolation

In the event of a suspected functional problem, use the troubleshooting
references provided in this section. This useful information will help you
identify and resolve the cause of the problem.

The scanner incorporates features that indicate when a problem occurs.
The scanner may:

• emit a series of tones

• flash the LED (lamp)

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 pre-operational period is the time between power-up and normal
operation during which the motor comes up-to-speed and software, firm­ware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems
are fully functional before turning on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD).
Refer to
of this and other scanner modes.

Operational Tests

These are the tests that run continually during Normal Operation and
Sleep Mode. Firmware checks all subsystems, accessory connections as
well as the POS interface to verify everything is operating normally. If a
problem is detected at any time, a long, low tone is sounded and operation
may be halted. If you press the Volume/Tone Push Button at that time, a
series of tones will be sounded in concert with LED flashes.

Chapter 3, Operational Modes, for a more detailed description

Product Reference Guide 4-1

Diagnostic Tests

See Chapter 3, Scanner Diagnostic Mode for details about running diag-

nostic tests for the scanner. 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
troubleshooting 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 problems are caused by either
the scanner, POS terminal or communication links between them, trou­bleshooting flowcharts provided in this chapter focus on these compo­nents. Additionally, the AC/DC Power Supply and scanner cables are
potential problems addressed.

The flowcharts provided here walk you through a diagnostic process that
will isolate the failed component and instruct as to the corrective action
required. Since internal scanner components cannot be replaced by an
operator or installer, most functional errors will require the assistance of a
trained technical support person. However, if the problem is caused by
faulty cable, or power supply, you can fix the problem by replacing the
defective component and complete the installation.

Error Codes

When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections first
before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.

Error Codes

If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three
seconds) and flash its LED, indicating a failure. When this occurs, press
the Volume/Tone Push button to hear the error code. If it is configured to
do so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps corresponding to the error
code and/or flash its LED simultaneous to the beeps. The table below
describes what these codes mean and what action should be taken for
each.

Introduction to Label Programming

Chapter 5

Programming

Introduction to Label Programming

The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow you
to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner. To
ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming
bar codes in this manual and other product-specific publications to pro­gram scanner features.

This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of all
levels to find the information needed to understand and configure fea­tures. The following descriptions will help you to determine where to go
from here.

Understanding the Basics

If you have little or no prior experience with programming using bar code
labels, you should review the first few pages of this section to familiarize
yourself with the basics of scanner programming before performing any
changes to your configuration.

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System

Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface
board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Con­tact your dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner’s
hardware compatibility.

Product Reference Guide 5-1

You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if
you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the fac­tory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for spe­cific interface types (see

Appendix E, Factory Defaults for more

information); however, your scanner may have been custom configured
with settings that are unique to your company or application.

Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what
changes will be required to allow communication with your host system
and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installa­tion. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this section,
then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program
the scanner.

When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scan­ner is ready to be placed into operation.

Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation

Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:

CAUTION

NOTE

• General Scanner Features - are features common to all interface
types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as volume and
length, read verification settings, etc.

• Interface Related Features - are the mandatory settings necessary to
allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of these
settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.

It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the interface
type (for example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care should be
taken to select the correct interface type, since you can cause dam­age to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to
an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with
the host cable DISCONNECTED.

Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the cur­rent interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the
RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone when scan­ning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface
group.

5-2 Magellan

®

2200VS and 2300HS

• Symbology Programming - gives the scanner the capability to auto-

discriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbologies.
For optimal scanner performance enable only those symbologies
required. Additionally the scanner may be programmed with the
standard options available for the various symbologies, such as check
digit, minimum label length, fixed and variable length bar codes,
etc.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional infor­mation, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales represen­tative.

Programming Overview

The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom­modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu­nicated to the scanner in one of two ways:

Programming Overview

NOTE

1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host

commands are available. Refer to

Appendix D for more details or

contact Tech Support.

2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner is to

use the

Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programming Kit. Ask

your dealer for more information about this product.

3. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scan-

ner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code
labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s features
and options.

When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the
scanner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to fac­tory defaults.

Product Reference Guide 5-3

Programming via Handheld Device

The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a
handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability
to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes
presented in this manual. PSC models QuickScan

“External Handheld Input” to allow operation.

What Is Programming Mode?

Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in
order to accept commands via programming bar code labels. When pro­gramming using the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically
placed in Programming Mode by scanning the SWITCH label.

While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the special
programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See

Appendix A for information about scanner indications while in the Pro-

gramming Mode.

Programming Session

A typical programming session is conducted as follows:

1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to place the scanner in Programming
Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner may
emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the
green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in
Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.

2. Scan the programming bar code(s) that is (are) specially encoded to

make the desired changes. With few exceptions
emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming bar code.

Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will
sound an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for fea­tures invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the
currently active interface will be implemented.

NOTE

Programming Overview

1

, the scanner will

NOTE

If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previ­ous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.

Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scan­ning the SWITCH bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to
exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature
you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar codes scanned dur­ing the session will take effect.

1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scan­ning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a tri­ple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

Product Reference Guide 5-5

NOTE

It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one
feature at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming
sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been
made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it
can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have
been successfully set following such a session.

3. Scan the SWITCH bar code to save any new settings and exit Pro­gramming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset upon
exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return to its
usual state (on steady or off).

The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following con­ditions:

— the programming sequence has been completed or the

SWITCH bar code is scanned

— five minutes have passed without scanning activity. Any data

programmed during the current session will be ignored
the scanner will reset and revert to its condition previous to
initiating the exited session.

1

, and

— power is disconnected. Disconnecting power during Pro-

gramming Mode, before scanning the SWITCH bar code,
will cause all new settings to be ignored. On power-up, the
scanner will return to previous settings.

4. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know
if the original factory settings have been changed.

1. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scanner will
operate on the default settings for the new interface.

Programming Overview

Programming Sequence

To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained
in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the
feature being programmed (as shown in
ble programming sequences:

If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that
interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a program­ming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configura­tion items to the factory default for that interface type.)

A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demon-

strates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the follow­ing:

1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar
code).

B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requiring

the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is placed in
Programming Mode and an Item Tag

is scanned. Then, a value
must be entered before ending the programming session. In the
example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in

Appendix C. This type of format, requiring several bar codes, is nec-

essary to allow flexible programming for item values with larger
numeric ranges.

C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scanning

of a single, extended length bar code. This special programming bar
code contains all the data necessary to enter Programming Mode, set

the Item Tag

and Item Value, and exit Programming Mode (all in

one step).
