W/BARCODES
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.

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.

RETURN TO FACTORY DEFAULT
Use this label to return the scanner or scanner/scale to the factory default settings.

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.

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 theswitchdepressedforlonger 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 normalprogrammingsequenceanduse the label on page 17 to enable the switch and try again.

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.
