This programming guide contains the procedures
and barcode programming labels necessary to set
Magellan's programmable features.

ABOUT PROGRAMMING

The following list shows an overview of this
manual’s organization.

• About Programming

• Special Labels (Switch label and
Increment Volume)

• Return to Factory Default

• Operational Settings (Speaker, Laser &
Motor Timeouts)

• RS-232 Parameters (Baud Rate, etc.)

• Symbology Selection

• Interleaved 2 of 5 Label Length

1

We have divided the contents into groups of
features that are usually changed together. For
example, all of the RS-232 parameters (baud rate,
parity, stop bits, etc.) are grouped together. Check
the Index for the location of specific programming
labels.

This introduction describes the programming and
configuration procedures for the Magellan scanner
and scanner/scale.

Scanner Programming: describes how

to put the scanner in Programming
Mode and how to use the program­ming barcodes to set the scanner’s
parameters.

Special Labels: includes a set of labels

which perform unique functions and
cannot be duplicated by standard label
definition and printing equipment.
Each special label affects the scanner
when in normal operating mode.
These include:

• Switch Label - puts the scanner in
Programming Mode and exits from
Programming Mode.

2

• Increment Volume Label - changes the
speaker volume setting in volatile
(temporary) memory. If power to the
scanner is interrupted, the volume will
revert to the default setting.

Return to Factory Settings: resets all

scanner programmable options to the
original factory settings. Any special
features or options programmed prior
to scanning this label in Programming
Mode must be reselected.

User Features: allow selection of On/Off

Switch, Laser Timeout, Motor Timeout,
Peripheral Port, Speaker Volume,
Double Read Timeout interval, and
Price/Weight Check Digit read and
transmission.

When the speaker's volume is pro­grammed with these labels, the setting
is stored in default memory. If power
to the scanner is interrupted, the
volume setting is retained.

3

RS-232 Communication Format: settings

are used only with scanners which
have an RS-232 interface. Options
include Data Bits, Baud Rate, Parity,
Handshake, Stop Bit, Prefixes and Host
Echo.

OCIA Communication Format: is used

only with scanners that have an OCIA
communication interface. The labels in
this manual allow you to change OCIA
interface types and enable or disable
an Intercharacter Delay.

Symbology Selection: allow selection of

the types of barcode (symbologies) the
scanner can read. These features also
include UPC/EAN Expansion, control
the calculation and transmission of
check digits for Code 39. If Inter­leaved 2 of 5 symbologies is selected,
label lengths settings are required.

4

SCANNER PROGRAMMING

(HOW IT WORKS)

Magellan features advanced programming capabili­ties which lets you change the scanner’s configura­tion and functional behavior by using the EAN-13
programming labels contained in this manual.

The scanner’s operating parameters are held in
three different portions of memory.

• RAM (Random Access Memory) holds
the current operational settings while
the scanner is powered-up. These
settings are lost when power to the
scanner is removed. For example, the
Increment Volume label changes the
volume setting held in RAM, but is lost
when power to the scanner is inter­rupted. RAM is temporary or ‘volatile’
memory.

• Default Memory is stored in the
EEPROM (non-volitile memory) and
holds the operational settings that are
loaded to RAM each time the scanner is
powered-up. This portion of memory is

5

preserved even if the scanner is powered
down. All settings made through the
Programming Mode are stored in default
memory.

• Permanent Memory is also stored in

the EEPROM and holds the factory
programmed settings for all of the
scanner’s operational parameters. The
contents of permanent memory are
loaded into default memory when the
Return to Factory Settings label is
scanned. The contents of permanent
memory can only be modified at the
factory.

By entering the ‘Programming Mode’
the desired characteristics can be set in
default memory by scanning program­ming barcode labels. These settings
are saved even if the scanner is
powered down.

6

PROGRAMMING YOUR SCANNER

To program your scanner:

1. Power-up the scanner to be pro­grammed by plugging the power cord
into the scanner and an electrical outlet
of the appropriate voltage. Wait for
the scanner to complete the selftest
routine and emit a tone. The green
lamp will light steadily, indicating that
the scanner is in normal Operating
Mode.

2. Put the scanner into Programming
Mode by scanning the Switch Label
(located on page 13 and on the inside
of the back cover).

The green LED flashes continuously
indicating that the scanner is in
Programming Mode.

7

3. Scan a programming label(s) for the
feature you want to change. The
scanner will emit a 'good read' tone to
indicate that the label has been read
and the setting has been stored in the
scanner’s memory. Scan the remaining
programming labels as required.

If a label scanned is not a valid
programming label, the scanner will
emit a low rejection tone.

4. After all the desired programming
labels have been successfully scanned,
exit Programming Mode by pressing
the Operator switch or scanning the
Switch Label. The green lamp will
light dimly, indicating that the scanner
is ready for normal operation.

8

PROGRAMMING CONVENTIONS

• All options set while in Programming
Mode are stored in default memory,
and will be retained even if the
scanner is powered-down.

• Settings are stored on a first-in, first-out
basis. The last programming label
scanned for a given option is the
setting stored in memory. For ex­ample, if a programming label which
sets the baud rate at 9600 is scanned,
followed by a label which sets the
baud rate at 19,200, the scanner will be
programmed with a baud rate of
19,200.

• Only labels included in this manual
will be accepted as valid programming
labels. Labels which attempt to set
features not implemented in a
scanner’s software revision will be
rejected as invalid. Programming
labels which are not printed in accor­dance with industry standards may also
be rejected.

9

• If an invalid label is scanned when in
Programming Mode, the scanner will
emit a low tone to indicate that the
label is either not a programming label
or that it contains values outside of the
acceptable programming range.

• After five minutes of inactivity in
Programming Mode, the scanner will
revert to normal Operating Mode. Any
options set during the programming
session will be stored and activated.

• If confusion arises as to which options
have been set during a programming
session, scanning the Return to Factory
Settings label will reset the scanner to
the original factory defaults for all
options, regardless of interface type.

We recommend that you use the table
provided in the back of this manual to
record all changes that you make. This
will help to ensure that you can record
all modifications that you have made
to the factory default configuration.

This will be very helpful if you must
return Magellan to the factory default
settings.

10

PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

The remainder of this manual includes program­ming labels for all Magellan's scanner and scanner/
scale programmable features. Refer to the detailed
features listing shown in the index at the back of
this manual to find the individual features that you
wish to change.

SPECIAL LABELS

There are two programming labels in this manual
that work differently from all the other labels
included in this Programming Guide; the Increment
Volume label and the Switch label.

Increment Volume works without

entering Programming Mode, but its
volume selection is lost when power is
removed from the scanner.

The Switch label is the key that allows

you to enter and exit Programming
Mode.

11

INCREMENT VOLUME

The Increment Volume label affects the scanner
when in normal Operating Mode. Each pass of the
label increments the speaker volume to the next
loudest available level. When the highest of the
three available levels is reached, the sequence starts
again at the quietest level. If speaker volume is set
using this label, the scanner reverts to the default
volume setting when power to the scanner is
interrupted. To permanently store changes to the
speaker’s default volume use the labels titled,
Speaker Volume, later in this manual.

Increment Volume

12

SWITCH LABEL

Like the Increment Volume label, the Switch label
affects the scanner when in normal Operating
Mode. Scanning the Switch label in normal Operat­ing Mode causes the scanner to enter Programming
Mode. Scanning the Switch label while in Program­ming Mode instructs the scanner to save all
changes made while in Programming Mode, exit
Programming Mode, reset the scanner to implement
the changes you made, and return to normal
Operating Mode. All programming sessions must
begin with the Switch label in order for the scanner
to recognize them as programming labels and end
with the Switch label for the scanner to store the
changes you have made.

It is a good practice to cover the label on the
opposite page to prevent Magellan from reading
both labels when changing a feature.

Switch Label

13

RETURN TO FACTORY DEFAULT

Use this label to return the scanner
or scanner/scale to the factory
default settings.

6 500000 000009

PROGRAMMABLE SPEAKER FEATURES

The speaker has three programmable features:

• Good Read indicator can be turned on
or off.

• Good Read volume can be set to one
of three levels. The volume can either
be changed temporarily using the
switch on the top of the scanner,
Increment Volume label, or its default
can be reprogrammed using the
programming labels on the following
pages.

19

SPEAKER VOLUME PROGRAMMING

The Magellan scanner and scanner/scale allows you
to change the speaker's volume without entering
Programming Mode or using programming labels.
To change the speaker's volume press and release
the speaker switch.

NOTE

Keeping the switch depressed for longer
than three seconds will initiate a scan­ner reset.

The scanner sounds the next volume setting three
times. There are three volume options available.
Continue pressing and releasing the switch until the
volume level you want is sounded.

If you wish to change the speaker's active default
setting, use the labels on the following pages to
change the speaker volume setting.

NOTE

If this feature appears not to work, the
switch may be disabled. Follow the
normal programming sequence and use
the label on page 17 to enable the
switch and try again.

20

SPEAKER VOLUME = LOW

Use this label to set the speaker
volume to low.

6 400025 000001

21

SPEAKER VOLUME = MEDIUM

Use this label to set the speaker
volume to medium.

6 400025 000018

22

SPEAKER VOLUME = HIGH

Use this label to set the speaker
volume to high.

6 400025 000025

23

UPC/EAN PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT SELECTIONS

The Price/Weight Check Digit selections allow you
to specify whether the scanner should calculate an
extra check digit based on a four or five-digit price/
weight block, and compare it with the price/weight
check digit contained in the barcode.

If the calculated check digit does not match the
value of the check digit contained in the barcode,
the label will be rejected as invalid.

24

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 4 DIGIT

Use this label to enable the
calculation and comparison of four
digit Price/Weight Check Digit
for UPC/EAN.

6 400092 000010

25

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 5 DIGITS

Use this label to enable the
calculation and comparison of five
digit Price/Weight Check Digit
for UPC/EAN.

6 400092 000027

26

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 4 DIGITS (EUROPE)

Use this label to enable the
calculation and comparison of four
digit Price/Weight Check Digit
for UPC/EAN.

6 400092 000034

27

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 5 DIGITS (EUROPE)

Use this label to enable the
calculation and comparison of five
digit Price/Weight Check Digit
for UPC/EAN.

6 400092 000041

28

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT: DISABLE

Use this label to disable Price/
Weight Check Digit calculation and
comparison.

6 400092 000003

29

TIMEOUTS

Timeouts allow you to shut off the scanner's laser
and/or motor if the scanner isn't used for a
predetermined period of time. This feature is
included to prolong the life of the motor and
Visible Laser Diode (VLD).

NOTE

Laser safety requires that the laser
switch off before the motor. If you set
the motor timeout shorter than the la­ser timeout, the motor will remain on
until the laser shuts off.

If you want to maximize both productivity and
scanner life, set laser to timeout in five minutes, but
leave the motor on for fifteen minutes. The
scanner will be ready to scan, and you will prolong
the life of the VLD.

30

SETTING LASER TIMEOUT

The laser timeout programming labels set the time
for switching the visible laser diode (VLD) off if the
scanner isn't used. Using this feature can prolong
the life of the VLD.

The selections are:

• Set timeout = 5 minutes

• Set timeout = 10 minutes

• Set timeout = 15 minutes

31

LASER TIMEOUT = 5 MINUTES

Use this label to set the laser
timeout to 5 minutes.

6 400079 000200

32

LASER TIMEOUT = 10 MINUTES

Use this label to set the laser
timeout to 10 minutes.

6 400079 000408

33

LASER TIMEOUT = 15 MINUTES

Use this label to set the laser
timeout to 15 minutes.

6 400079 000606

34

SETTING MOTOR TIMEOUT

The Motor Timeout programming labels set the
time for switching the motor off if the scanner isn't
used. At no time will the motor timeout before the
laser.

The selections are:

• Motor timeout = 5 minutes

• Motor timeout = 15 minutes

• Motor timeout = 30 minutes

• Motor timeout = 60 minutes

35

MOTOR TIMEOUT = 5 MINUTES

Use this label to set the motor
timeout to 5 minutes.

6 400078 000201

36

MOTOR TIMEOUT = 15 MINUTES

Use this label to set the motor
timeout to 15 minutes.

6 400078 000607

37

MOTOR TIMEOUT = 30 MINUTES

Use this label to set the motor
timeout to 30 minutes.

6 400078 001208

38

MOTOR TIMEOUT = 60 MINUTES

Use this label to set the motor
timeout to 60 minutes.

6 400078 002403

39

SETTING DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT

The double read timeout sets a time limit that deter­mines how much time must pass before reading the
same label again (e.g. two identical items in succession).

The selections are:

• Set timeout = 400 milliseconds

• Set timeout = 600 milliseconds

• Set timeout = 800 milliseconds

• Set timeout = 1 second

DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 400MS

Sets the time you must wait between reading the same
label again to 400ms. This is the recommended setting.

NOTE

If the incidence of multiple reads is not
acceptable, increase the Double Read
Timeout setting to the next higher level.

6 400077 000400

40

DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 600MS

Sets the time you must wait
between reading the same label
again to 600ms.

6 400077 000608

41

DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 800MS

Sets the time you must wait
between reading the same label
again to 800ms.

6 400077 000806

42

DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 1 SECOND

Sets the time you must wait
between reading the same label
again to one second.

6 400077 001001

43

PERIPHERAL PORT

Magellan's peripheral port can be configured to
accept input from an undecoded handheld scanner.
The labels on the following pages allow you to
enable/disable the port, change the communication
speed and enable/disable the handheld scanner's
LED.

HANDHELD PORT: ENABLE

Use this label to enable the
peripheral port to accept input
from a handheld (HHLC) scanner.

6 401035 000005

44

HANDHELD PORT: DISABLE

Use this label to disable the
peripheral port to accept input
from a handheld (HHLC) scanner.

6 401035 000012

45

HANDHELD PERIPHERIAL PORT SPEED

Since the communication speed of handheld
scanners vary greatly, it is necessary to select a
speed that tells Magellan how long to wait to
receive a complete barcode data. This selection
process is rather unscientific (trial and error) since
industry standards do not exist. We have included
references for known and tested models of other
manufacturers handheld scanners, but these should
be considerer as guidelines since newer and older
models from the same manufacturer may be
different.

The selectable options are named speeds five
through nine with five being used for scanners that
communicate at a slow rate and nine for scanners
that communicate at a faster rate.

46

HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 5

This label sets the communication
speed to five. Use Peripherial Port
Speed settings to tell Magellan
how long to wait to receive a
complete barcode data. This
setting works best when connect­ing a Symbol Technology
undecoded scanner to the
peripherial port.

6 401067 000059

47

HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 6

This label sets the communication
speed to six. Use Peripherial Port
Speed settings to tell Magellan
how long to wait to receive a
complete barcode data.

6 401067 000066

48

HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 7

This label sets the communication
speed to seven. Use Peripherial
Port Speed settings to tell Magellan
how long to wait to receive a
complete barcode data.

This is the default setting. Use this
setting when connecting a SP400,
Caere or PSC undecoded scanner.

6 401067 000073

49

HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 8

This label sets the communication
speed to eight. Use Peripherial
Port Speed settings to tell Magellan
how long to wait to receive a
complete barcode data.

6 401067 000080

50

HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 9

This label sets the communication
speed to nine. Use Peripherial Port
Speed settings to tell Magellan
how long to wait to receive a
complete barcode data.

6 401067 000097

51

HANDHELD LED

When the scanner and POS system both indicate
that a label has been read, it is helpful to disable
the handheld devises good read indicator. The
labels on the next two pages allow you to enable
and disable the handheld's LED.

HANDHELD LED: ON

Scan this label and the handheld
device LED will light when a label
is successfully scanned.

6 401136 000003

52

HANDHELD LED: OFF

Scan this label to disable the
handheld scanner's LED. This
prevents the LED from lighting
when a barcode label is scanned
successfully.

Use this feature when the POS
system sounds a tone to indicate
that the label has been read.

6 401136 000010

53

CHANGING BARCODE TYPES

One of Magellan's features is the ability to auto­discriminate between the UPC/EAN symbology
family and three industrial codes; Code 39, Inter­leaved 2 of 5 and Code 128. The following
barcodes allow you to change the types of barcode
symbologies that your scanner recognizes. Be sure
that your POS terminal interface can recognize the
barcodes you wish to enable before you change
these settings.

To change symbologies:

1. Select the symbology you wish to
enable. (e.g. Code 39)

2. Scan the appropriate programming
barcode label that enables the selected
symbology.

3. Enable all additional parameters that
are required by your POS terminal (e.g.
check digits, start/stop characters, etc).

All of the symbology selection features on the
following pages can be used to customize the
Magellan scanner or scanner/scale.

54
