Operation Manual

2-24 Magellan

8300/8400

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 scan-

ner light and emitting a good read tone (beep). Some host inter-

face types may “chirp” instead of beeping

EAS System —

The way in which EAS labels are deactivated is depen-

dent upon which aftermarket EAS system was purchased and installed.

See the user’s manuals and other documentation accompanying that EAS

equipment.

Scale —

If the Yellow (bottom) LED/Button is not lit, press that button

momentarily. If the scale is operating correctly, the yellow LED

will illuminate and remain on steady, and the display will show a

reading of 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric). If the display is blank or

a is displayed, it may be necessary to calibrate the

scale before continuing. Refer to

Chapter 5, Calibration, for

calibration procedures.

Remote Scale Display —

Check to verify that 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for

metric) is displayed, then place an item on the weighing platter.

Verify that the display shows a weight and that the yellow LED

goes out. Remove the item and observe that Remote Scale Dis-

play shows 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric) and that the yellow LED

is On.

6. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet and disconnect the

power cord and Remote Scale Display cable from the scanner’s con-

nector panel.

NOTE

When not connected to the host, the scanner may be limited to

reading only one or two labels. (This limitation is dependent

upon the interface type.) To scan multiple labels without con-

necting to the host, place the unit in Scanner Diagnostic Mode

by pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button for four seconds.
