(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 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 opto- mechanical 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 hous- ing of the scanner. • Laser Light Viewing. The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed in this product. Exposure to the light emitted from the scan window has been shown not to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after mil- lions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser tech- nology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world. Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions and warnings: CAUTION 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 magni- fying 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.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B est confireme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada. CAUTION No adjustments or alteration of the scanner housing are to be attempted by the user. The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laser beam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation. The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is ever emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected from its power supply until repaired by a qualified technician. WARNING This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment gener- ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfer- ence to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.

If damage is found, report it to your carrier immedi- ately. • Lift any accessories from the box, including the AC/DC Power Sup- ply, and the Quick Reference Guide. • Familiarize yourself with the Quick Reference Guide. Leave the guide at the checkstand when the installation is complete. • Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the scanner from the carton. Be sure to save the box and all packing material. In the event of failure, the unit must be returned to the factory in its origi- nal packaging. Proceed to the Operational Verification instructions below.

test routine, and the green LED (lamp) will light continuously, indi- cating the scanner is ready to scan. 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. Once you’re satisfied of the scanner’s operation, disconnect power and proceed to the installation instructions.  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 consider- ations 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. NOTE Reference Chapter 4, Problem Isolation if the scanner does not perform as expected. NOTE Your scanner may only read one or two bar codes when not con- nected 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 sig- nals its readiness to accept the data.

ner or mounting bracket in the desired, installed position to deter- mine 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 pro- vided 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. 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. 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 assem- blies. Reference Figure 2-2d. This completes the installation instructions. NOTE Reference Chapter 4, Problem Isolation if the scanner does not perform as expected.

• sliding or pushing items through the scan volume in a right-to-left or left-to-right motion (see Figure 1a). This is known as “Sweep” scanning, and is the best choice for high throughput super- and hypermarket installations where it is necessary to minimize the need to grip or lift items. • moving the bar code directly toward the scan window to be read (see Figure 1b).

 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. 5!6-/ !# 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. 5!6- Power-Up Selftest begins when power is applied. The scanner’s software immediately begins the testing sequence to verify that all systems are func- tioning 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. NOTE A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See the topic Power-up Beep Control in Chapter 5 of this manual.

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 indi- cated, make note of the tones heard/LED flashes. A table containing a list- ing of the error codes is included in Chapter 4. # 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 com- pletes its Selftest successfully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Operating Mode. #
 Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator. 7%# This condition is indicated by the green light being on dim and steady. NOTE LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be pro- grammed to operate in the standard manner described above.

sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out1), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to pro- long the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scan- ner has timed out, it enters 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. 1. “Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selected through use of the programming bar codes included in Chapter 5.

diagnostics, or initiating a reset. %% Scanners are typically programmed at the factory to settings specified by the customer. Generally, POS system interface and bar code symbologies are pre-configured to operate in the target environment. Chapter 5 con- tains the necessary instructions, bar codes, and descriptions to program/ reprogram scanner settings. ,
 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. To place the scanner in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, press the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately four seconds. While pressing the button, the scanner will first sound three tones, wait a few seconds, then sound six rapid tones; after which you should immediately release the button. To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the scanner or press and hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner. See the topic, Scanner Reset, below for more information about scanner resets. Turn to Chapter 4 for a description of error codes resulting from diagnos- tics.

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 informa- tion, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation, earlier in this chapter. #
 The scanner will provide dependable service for many years. The follow- ing maintenance procedures will keep it operating at peak performance.  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.

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 fol- lowing pages. 5!6 The Power-up Selftest is a pre-operational series of tests that must be suc- cessfully 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, firm- ware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems are fully functional before turning on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD). Refer to Chapter 3, Operational Modes, for a more detailed description of this and other scanner modes. # 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.

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. ,  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, trou- bleshooting flowcharts provided in this chapter focus on these compo- nents. 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.

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

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 pro- gram 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 fea- tures. The following descriptions will help you to determine where to go from here. 6. 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. 8?21% Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Con- tact your dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner’s hardware compatibility.

you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the fac- tory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for spe- cific 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 installa- tion. 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 scan- ner is ready to be placed into operation. %@?A# Most scanner programming falls within three general categories: • 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. CAUTION 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 dam- age to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED. NOTE Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the cur- rent interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone when scan- ning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface group.

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 infor- mation, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales represen- tative. %%#''5 The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom- modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu- nicated to the scanner in one of two ways: 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. NOTE When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scanner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to fac- tory defaults.

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® 1000 and Quick- Scan® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format require- ments (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation. 8  %%
B Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming bar code labels. When pro- gramming 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. ++) %%
 Use the bar code label below to enter and exit (‘switch” into and out of) Programming Mode. SWITCH LABEL

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 exceptions1, the scanner will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming bar code. Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scan- ning 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 dur- ing the session will take effect. 1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scan- ning 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 tri- ple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature. NOTE Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for fea- tures invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface will be implemented. NOTE If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previ- ous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.

gramming 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 con- ditions: — 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 ignored1, and the scanner will reset and revert to its condition previous to initiating the exited session. — 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. 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. 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.

in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 5-1). There are three possi- ble programming sequences: A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demon- strates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the follow- ing: 1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar code). 2. Scan the Item Tag1 that will enable the new feature. 3. End the programming session and reset the scanner (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 Tag1 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 Tag1 and Item Value, and exit Programming Mode (all in one step). NOTE If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a program- ming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configura- tion items to the factory default for that interface type.) 1. An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.

= If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configura- tion to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions. 31 Scan this bar code to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for the currently active interface. This bar code is typically used to return the scanner to a “known” operating state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect. RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS CAUTION Use this bar code with caution, since it will reset ALL features that may have been programmed since the scanner’s installation. NOTE DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning this bar code.

special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal. To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DIS- ABLE bar code below. TEST MODE = DISABLE TEST MODE = ENABLE NOTE DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning the bar codes on this page.

In this case, the correct Interface Type programming bar code must be scanned first before the scanner can be used with a POS system. NOTE If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a program- ming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configura- tion items to the factory default for that interface type.)

1. Disconnect current interface cable(s) if currently connected. 2. Scan the SWITCH bar code 3. Scan the bar code representing the appropriate interface located on the following pages. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes adja- cent to and on any facing pages to ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan. 4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code. 5. Connect new interface cable(s). CAUTION 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. NOTE When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the factory configura- tion for that interface as the selection is made, erasing any and all custom configuration that may have previously been done. NOTE Once the correct interface has been set, it will be necessary to proceed to the appropriate pages in this manual that select parameters and options for that interface. For example, if RS-232 is selected, turn to the pages in this manual headed as features specific to the RS-232 interface.

You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan. 3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that rep- resent the desired maximum host-transmitted message length. The selectable range is 0-249 data characters. (Labels that are longer than this length are not read.) Pad all single and double digit numbers with leading zeroes to yield a three-digit entry (000-249). 4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the appropriate amount of digits have been scanned SET MAXIMUM HOST-TRANSMITTED MESSAGE LENGTH NOTE If this configuration item is set to 0 (000), there is no general length limit imposed on data being transmitted to the host.

buffering data from a bar code, the scanner can continue to read a new bar code while the old one is being transmitted to the host. Selecting BUFF- ERS = 1 means that the first bar code must be transmitted before a new one can be read. A selection of BUFFERS = 2 means that a new bar code can be read while data from the first bar code is transmitted. When the feature, Good Read Beep Control, is enabled, the scanner will beep when the data is placed in a transmission buffer. When a DISABLE SCANNER command is received from the host, the scanner will continue to transmit all data that is buffered. To select the Number of Host Transmission Buffers: 1. Scan the SWITCH bar code. 2. Scan bar code below representing the desired setting. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan. 3.

Scan the bar code, SET GLOBAL PREFIX below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes to ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan. 3. Scan the appropriate characters/digits from the keypad in Appendix C that represent the hex designation for the desired character(s). A table containing the ASCII Character Set and their corresponding Hex Values is available in the inside back cover of this manual. ASCII parameters must be input by scanning a pair of hexadecimal digits for each character. Thus, to set a two-character value of AB, bar codes containing the digits ‘4’, ‘1’, ‘4’, and ‘2’ must be scanned. The selectable range for this option is any hex value from 00 to FF. Up to 20 hex pairs can be designated. 4. If designating the full 20 hex pairs, the scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the appropriate amount of digits have been scanned. If designating less than 20 hex pairs, you can end the programming sequence early by scanning the TERMINATE SEQUENCE bar code. 5. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.
