12 Magellan® 8500 Scanner
Section 1 Introduction This Product Reference Guide contains comprehensive instructions on how to install the scanner or scanning-scale (either model may be termed “scanner” for the purpose of simplicity in this manual), how to program it using special programming feature bar code labels, and advanced user information as described in the following overview.
Manual Overview Section 1, Introduction, presents the manual’s contents, describes features and specifications, provides regulatory and safety information, and lists the bar code symbologies the scanner will read. Section 2, Site Preparation and Installation, supplies physical dimensions for the scanner or scanning-scale and its most common accessories, and details counter preparation and installation. Cable routing, connection and testing are also explained in this section.
How to Use This Manual You’ll find it helpful to familiarize yourself with the first section of this manual, since it provides both a general description of the product’s features and an overview of the manual’s contents and organization. Reference the other sections as required for information about scanner or scanning-scale installation, operation, maintenance, calibration and bar code programming. Manual Conventions ‘NOTE’ blocks contain information that is helpful and recommended.
Scanner and Scanning-Scale Nomenclature Controls, indicators and other nomenclature are shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1.
Connectors The appearance of the connector panel will vary depending upon the factory options purchased with your model. Reference Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2. Connector Panel 0.00 POS Terminal POS TERMINAL Remote Display REMOTE DISPLAY · Label Data Drives Remote Display · Scale Data (for single cable interfaces) · Application Download (where appropriate) Aux.
Physical Parameters This section provides specifications for performance, environmental and electrical parameters. Reference the second section of this manual, Site Preparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models and some accessories. Scanning The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner projects laser light in order to scan items.
Automatic Zero Maintenance The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as long as the deviation is within acceptable limits1, while compensating for any debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push Button located on the top of the vertical enclosure.
Contact technical support to learn more about this advanced programmable feature. NOTE Figure 1-4.
Electrical Specifications Before installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets the scanning-scale’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for compatibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges from 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will supply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of excess electrical noise. Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale.
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 windows is required. • Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B Visible Laser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.
Safety precautions to be taken: No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to be attempted by the user. CAUTION WARNING 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.
Labeling Regulatory, reference and safety labeling is shown in Figure 1-5. Figure 1-5.

Section 2 Site Preparation and Installation This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit installation. Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.
Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family Model 8500 Model 8501 Model 8502 Pre-Installation Considerations It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however, offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines should result in a more efficient, comfortable work environment. The U.S.
Checkstand Design 1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use both hands for scanning and bagging). 2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart. These designs put less stress on the cashiers’ shoulders and back. 3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away conveyors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the products).
Scanner Installation 1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the countertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting. 2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 - 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side). Scanner Maintenance 1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and reduce rescans. 2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either of the scanner windows. Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’s horizontal window with as little orientation motion as necessary. Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt. Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is located.
Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two configurations. Liquid Drainage. Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can flow through the checkstand without pooling. Leveling.
Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance DO NOT Obstruct L-Platter Removal (Keyboard Mount) DO NOT Obstruct Scan Zone Allow a minimum clearance of 1.5" (3.8cm) (Enclosure) Ventilation and Spacing The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows the debris chutes and ventilation slots.
Figure 2-3. Debris Chutes & Ventilation Slots Debris Chutes/Ventilation Slots Service Access The scanner and scanning-scale have been engineered to allow performance of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and calibration) without removing the scanner from the checkstand. Additionally all cable connections made at the scanner can be connected and removed while the unit is sitting on the countertop.
Power Installation Reference the wiring diagram in Figure 2-4 for the recommended fusing arrangement. Grounding The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise (interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure the input line voltage. Figure 2-4.
Checkstand Preparation Reference Figure 2-5. When performing a first time installation into a new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you may wish to install an item diverter to direct items toward the scan window.
Liquid Spills and Moisture Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas. Counter Cutout The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of items.
Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’s power cable if possible. Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replacement is required. A little planning now will save a lot of frustration later. 4. Connect and verify all system operations.

Checkstand Mounting There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capacity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when calculating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items. NOTE If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75” (1.
• Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply, optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the Quick Reference Guide. • Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with the unit’s controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand when the installation is complete. • Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the unit from the carton. Be sure to save the box and all packing material.
Operational Verification Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to your POS system. 1. If the unit is a scanning-scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to Figure 2-13).
4. Verify that the scanner or scanning-scale passes an operational test by observing the following: Scanner. Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner’s windows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels (see the note that follows). The scanner indicates when each label has been successfully read by flashing the green scanner light and emitting a good read tone (beep).
Diagnostic Modes Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner’s ability to read bar codes. 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.
Scale Diagnostic Mode To enter Scale Diagnostic Mode, press the Scale Zero Push Button for approximately four seconds. Six rapid tones will be sounded, indicating the unit is leaving normal operation and entering Scale Diagnostic Mode. The Remote Display will flash a ‘1’ across the display while the dignostic routine is being run. When diagnostics are completed successfully, the display will indicate that the unit has passed the diagnostic test by displaying PASS .

Physical Measurements: AC/DC Adapter 2.3" (5.8 cm) 3.1" (7.8 cm ) 1" 5.5 ) m c (14 Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation When installing the optional Remote Scale Display, consider both the customer’s viewing angle and the amount of daily ambient light conditions anticipated at this installation site. Figure 2-12 shows available adjustment for the display head.
Viewing Angle The optimum viewing angle is directly facing the customer. To ensure that the display is easily readable for the majority of your customers, the display should be approximately 48 to 60” (122 to 152 cm) from the floor. Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper positioning of scale displays used in retail trade. NOTE Figure 2-12.

Installation 1. Make sure that all cables are firmly attached (except that the AC/ DC power supply should not be connected to the AC outlet yet). 2. Remove the All Weighs™ Platter to gain access to the lift handles. Grasp the platter as shown in Figure 2-18 and gently lift it from the scanner. If the top edge of the platter is blocked, you may find it easier to grasp the platter vertical bezel as shown in Figure 2-18b. Figure 2-18.
3. Hook the fingers of both hands into the lift handles located along the insides of the scanner walls, just above the debris chutes as shown in Figure 2-19. DO NOT attempt to lift the unit using the plastic edges, scale frame, or any features other than the lift handles. 4. Lower the unit into the counter opening, ensuring that none of the cables are pinched, pierced or crimped. 5. Re-install the All Weighs™ Platter and verify that it is flush or just below flush with the countertop.
Figure 2-19.
System Power-Up Recap The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the requirements of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down (switch off ) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when connecting any peripheral device. If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system, follow these steps. 1.

Section 3 Operation and Maintenance The information contained in this section describes how to operate and maintain the scanner and scale. Topics include “how to’s” on scanning, weighing, re-zeroing the scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the upper and lower windows. Scanning Items To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as shown in Figure 3-1. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone.
Proper Scanning Technique The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhancements for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these advancements: Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency: 3-2 • Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1). • Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. Keep items in their natural orientation.
Proper Weighing Technique 1. The L-shaped All-Weighs™ platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. The raised “Produce Rail” also provides a convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the counter or other non-weighing surfaces. (Reference Figure 3-2.) It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be accurately recorded. NOTE Figure 3-2.
Operational Controls The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details. Operational Modes The scanner or scanner/scale 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.
Error Reporting If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7segment display indicating where the failure occurred. These messages are coded to assist the repair technician in identifying the failed component. If an error is indicated, make note of it and contact your supervisor or technical support representative.
• When the scanner or scanner/scale 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 weighing) 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. For scanner/scale models, the yellow light indicates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the platter.
Additional Functions Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and calibrating the scale. Programming When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is configured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the bar code symbologies you designated.
Scale Adjustments The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first, and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of - 0.2 pounds (- 1.25 grams) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration. While the ‘at rest’ reading remains within the zero range, the scale will automatically adjust itself to true zero.
Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be verified and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas of the United States, the scale calibration switch must be sealed before being placed into service. Consult the agency responsible for regulating weighing devices in your area to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regulatory requirements. Section 5, Calibration, describes the calibration sequence and verification process.
Operational Maintenance The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many years. The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or scanner/scale operating at peak performance. Cleaning the Weigh Platter and Scan Windows. Clean the exterior surfaces of the horizontal and vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free cleaning tissues.
Vertical Scan Window Replacement The Vertical Scan Window enclosed in the All Weighs™ Platter is a replaceable part. Follow these instructions to remove and replace the window: To remove the Vertical Scan Window: 1. Grasp the platter as shown in Figure 3-3 and gently lift it from the scanner. Figure 3-3.
2. If the top edge of the platter is blocked, you may find it easier to grasp the platter vertical bezel as shown in Figure 3-3b. NOTE Use caution to avoid damage to the now exposed horizontal and vertical scan windows. If cleaning of these windows is necessary, use a nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free cleaning tissues and take care to avoid scratching these windows (damage to the windows can degrade scanning performance). 3.
4. Fully seat the new vertical scan window into the window channel within its bottom retention tabs. Tilt the window in to engage the two tabs at the top of the retainer and carefully snap the window to secure it in place. 5. Clean both sides of the new vertical scan window using a paper towel or lint free cleaning tissues dampened with a mild, waterbased glass cleaner. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads. 6. Re-install the platter. Vertical scan window replacement is now complete.
Figure 3-5.
Section 4 Problem Isolation In the event of a suspected functional problem, use the troubleshooting references provided in this section. This useful information will help you to identify and resolve the cause of the problem. The scanner/scale has a number of features that indicate when a scanner or scale problem occurs.
Diagnostic Tests See Section 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running diagnostic tests for the scanner and/or scale. 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.
Error Codes If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three seconds) and alternately flash its LEDs, indicating a failure. When this occurs, press the Volume/Tone Push button to display the error code on the 7-segment display (refer to Figure 4-1). If it is configured to do so, the scanner will also sound a series of beeps corresponding to the error code. The table below describes what these codes mean and what action should be taken for each.
Table 4-1. Error Codes and Corrective Action Error Code Probable Cause Corrective Action Configuration No POS interface has been selected (Null interface). See the topic, Interface Type, in Section 6 to select the required interface using programming bar codes. 1 Configuration Error See Section 6, Programming, for details about configuring the scanner using programming bar codes. 2 Interface Board Unplug unit and call technical support personnel.
Figure 4-1.
Scale Error Reporting Scale diagnostics uses the Remote Scale Display and the Zero Status lamp to communicate specific scale failures. The following chart shows the Remote Display messages, the Scale Status lamp indication, the problem that the scale is experiencing and what action should be taken. When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections first before proceeding with other problem isolation steps. Table 4-2.
Flowcharts The problem isolation flowcharts on the following pages allow you to identify and troubleshoot problems with your system. Figure 4-2. Problem Isolation: Start For units using an AC/DC adapter, verify that... 1. AC power cord is connected to a functional AC outlet. 2. IEC connectors are firmly connected. 3. DC power cord is firmly connected to scanner. If your unit is a model which receives Power Off the Terminal POT), verify that the I/F cable is securely connected at both ends.

YES DONE YES -0shown on YES - Check for debris under platter.
Figure 4-7. Problem Isolation: Remote Display REMOTE DISPLAY START Is the unit configured for a Remote Display ? NO Scanner-scale models that include a Remote Display when shipped from the factory, are configured for use with the display. If you're unsure of the settings for your unit, contact Tech Support. Use the programming bar codes in Section 6 to enable operation using a Remote Display.
Section 5 Calibration A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are: • at initial installation of the scanner/scale • if the scale cannot be re-zeroed • if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa • if diagnostics indicate a calibration error • the weigh module has been replaced Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/ scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.
Description of Calibration Sequence The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set (31.5-pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities. These verification procedures follow the U.S.
Motion Test This test verifies that the scale will not ‘zero’ when the weighing surface of the scanner/scale is in motion. 1.

Section 6 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 (scanner/scale). 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.
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.
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: 1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available.
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 Programming 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.
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.
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 Table 6-1). There are three possible programming sequences: NOTE If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session.
Table 6-1. Programming Sequence SET A ITEM TAG ITEM VALUE END/RESET 1 2 3 SWITCH ENABLE NEW FEATURE SWITCH 1 2 345 6 0 B SWITCH C 6-8 ENABLE NEW FEATURE USING THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS...
LED and Beeper Indicators The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify/announce the various scanner functions. If You Make a Mistake... 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 configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.
Test Mode Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This 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 = DISABLE bar code below. DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning the bar codes on this page.

Scanner and Scale Controls Volume/Tone Push Button Green LED Scale Zero Push Button Yellow LED Controls and Indicators The control panel consists of two indicator LEDs and two push buttons as described in the following pages.
Indicator LEDs The green LED indicates scanner status, and the yellow LED is primarily used to show scale status as described in Table A-1 below: Table A-1.
Volume/Tone Push Button The Volume/Tone Push Button also performs multiple functions depending upon the duration of time it is pressed: NOTE Volume changes made using the Volume/Tone Push Button are lost when the scanner is powered-down and are reset to the factory default setting. If you wish to permanently change the volume, use the special programming labels in Section 6, Programming.
Table A-2. Volume/Tone Push Button Functions PRESS DURATION FUNCTION COMMENT Wakes scanner from Sleep Mode Alternatively, the scanner can be awakened by: - Moving an object through the scan zone. - A weight change on the scale. - Scanning with an attached auxiliary scanner. Increments volume Press the push button momentarily to increase speaker volume.
Scale Zero Push Button The Scale Zero Push Button is used for multiple functions as listed in Table A-3. The Scale Zero Push Button has no function in a “scanner only” model. NOTE Table A-3. Scale Zero Push Button Functions PRESS DURATION FUNCTION COMMENT Momentary Zero Scale When programmed to do so, the yellow LED should be lit when no weight is on the scale, indicating scale at zero. If it is not, press the switch to zero the scale. The unit will sound a “click” upon pressing the button.
Calibration Switch Cover This cover restricts access to the Calibration Switch to help guard against unauthorized tampering when sealed. LEGAL NOTE LEGAL NOTE A-6 There are regulations that must be followed in order to ensure compliance when operating a weighing device such as the scanner/scale. Failure to observe and comply with these regulations could result in legal action.

Appendix F Handheld Data Format Requirements This appendix provides application notes to describe the general format of data that can be accepted by the scanner through the auxiliary port as transmitted from a handheld scanner. Handheld Data Format Requirements General • 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. • RTS is used to "bracket" the data received from the handheld: RTS must be asserted high during data transmission, and deasserted after label transmission is complete.
Datalogic Handheld Data Format Requirements The following sections describe label transmission formats that are typically observed in factory configurations of Datalogic handheld scanners. RSS-14 • Prefix must be ASCII characters ‘R4’ • Check character must be included in label • Application identifier “01” must follow the prefix and preceed the base label • Label length excluding prefix characters must be 16 characters.
UPC-A with 5-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'A' - total length including prefix must be 18 • Example: 'A06099201118712345' UPC-A with Code 128 Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label.
UPC-E with 2-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label. • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'E' - total length including prefix must be 11. • Example: 'E0998875012'. UPC-E with 5-Digit Supplemental • Number system must be included in label data. • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
EAN-8 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII characters 'FF' - total length including prefix must be 10 • Example: 'FF00210126' EAN-8 with 2-Digit Supplemental • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct. • Supplemental data is appended to base label. • Prefix must be an ASCII characters 'FF' - total length including prefix must be 12. • Example: 'FF0021012612'.
EAN-13 • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'F'- total length including prefix must be 14 • Example: 'F1101234567891' EAN-13 with 2-Digit Supplemental • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct • Supplemental data is appended to base label • Prefix must be an ASCII character 'F'- total length including prefix must be 16 • Example: 'F110123456789112' EAN-13 with 5-Digit Supplemental • Check
Code 39 • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including start, stop and check characters and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Start and stop characters "*" must be included in label. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '*'. • Example : '**Code 39.TEST*'. Code 39-Pharmacode • Check character must be included in label data.
Codabar • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check character and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '%'. • Start stop character sets must meet the matching requirement set forth by the scanner configuration item Codabar Start Stop Character Match.
MSI/Plessey • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check character and excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Prefix must be an ASCII character '@'. • Example: '@144769254'. Code 93 • Prefix must be an ASCII character '&'.
AIM Formats AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label data for transmission. Because AIM specifies one identifier for UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 labels, UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 will be received from the handheld and transmitted by the scanner as EAN-13. The ']' character must be the first character received in the label transmission from the handheld. The following sections describe the prefix strings and identify what specific label characteristics can be supported.
2-Digit Supplemental • Supplemental data is appended to any EAN base label. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']E1'. • length of Supplemental data including prefix must be 5. Total required length is 21 for EAN-13 and 16 for EAN-8. • Examples: addon portion is highlighted data is underlined.
Code 128 Supplemental • Supplemental data is appended to any EAN base label. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']C0'. • length of Supplemental data including prefix is variable but must be at least 9. • Examples: addon portion is highlighted data is underlined.
Codabar • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check character and excluding prefix characters must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']F0'. • Start stop character sets must meet the matching requirement set forth by the scanner configuration item Codabar Start Stop Character Match.
RSS Expanded • Prefix must be ASCII characters ']e0'. • Label length excluding prefix characters must be at least 1 character. Maximum length is the maximum label size supported by the scanner. • Example: ']e001900123456789083103001750'. I 2 of 5 • Check character must be included in label data. • Label length including check characters and excluding prefix characters must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner's fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type.
PDF417 • Prefix must be an ASCII characters ']L0'. • Label length excluding prefix character cannot exceed 300 characters. In addition to this, label length excluding prefix character must meet requirements imposed by the main scanner’s fixed or variable label length control for this symbology type. • Example : ']L0pdf_test_label'.
