PRODUCT OVERVIEW The HS1250, a compact high-performance scanner, is designed to mount horizontally in your counter, leaving valuable checkstand ‘real estate’ clear for items and workspace. Designed for grocery and hypermarket applications, the HS1250's cast aluminum construction and rugged top design makes it ideal for high volume installations as well as moderate to low volume applications such as variety, drug and convenience stores.
MANUAL OVERVIEW International symbols are used throughout this manual to provide a simple visual indication of the information being discussed. In most cases, each topic's name is preceded by a simple graphic. For example is the internationally recognized symbol for a speaker. Appendix A, Symbol Definitions, shows all the symbols used in this manual and describes their meaning.
CONTROLS & INDICATORS The descriptions on the following pages detail the function of the controls and indicators for the HS1250. Note that two of these items, the speaker and volume switch, are located beneath the scanner's top cover. VOLUME SWITCH While the scanner is in Normal Mode and the green lamp is on dim, you can easily change the volume on the HS1250 scanner by pressing the switch. The scanner has three volume settings available.
INDICATORS INDICATOR LAMP The indicator lamp has six active modes; off, on dim, flash once, flashing continually once per second, flashing continually twice per second and repeating a series of flashes. Off indicates that either there is no power to the scanner or the scanner is not operational. On dim shows that the scanner is on and ready for operation. This is the normal operating condition. Flashes once brightly when the scanner has read a barcode label.
SPEAKER The speaker produces an audible indication of scanner operation. It sounds a normal tone, an alternate tone, or an error tone (a repeating series of tones). NORMAL TONE The normal tone sounds when a barcode label is recognized, its content is decoded and the data is transmitted to the host. ALTERNATE TONE The alternate tone has a lower pitch than the normal tone.
CONNECTORS Three cable connections are located on the scanner as shown below, with the DC power and Handheld connections in a niche near the serial number label and the Interface connection in a recessed area of an adjacent side of the scanner. INTERFACE CONNECTOR This connector provides the link between the scanner and the host. It transmits label data and communication signals between the scanner and the host.
D.C. POWER CONNECTOR The DC power connector is for attaching the AC/DC power supply to the scanner. This connector supplies +12VDC, -12VDC and +5VDC to the scanner. NOTE Use ONLY approved AC/DC power supplies ordered from PSC. ADDITIONAL FEATURE MOTION SENSOR The scanner includes a motion sensor that detects activity in front of the scan window. Waving your hand or merchandise in front of the window wakes the scanner up when it is in Sleep Mode.
UNPACKING Before you open the HS1250 shipping carton, inspect the carton for damage. If the carton is torn or crushed, carefully inspect the contents to ensure that no damage has occurred. Notify your carrier immediately if you think that there has been any damage to the contents.

SELF-TEST ROUTINE The scanner performs a complex power-up self-test that checks the operations of the scanner hardware and software.
HOW TO SCAN WITH THE HS1250 The HS1250 is mounted flush with the countertop to allow maximum work area and enable slide-through scanning. A dense scan pattern ensures that a barcode is easily read when swept over the scan window in the direction of the arrow. The scanner’s Read Zone, extends approximately 6" (15.24 cm) above the window, angled at approximately 40° from the counter and expands as you move away from the scanner's window.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR SCANNER'S OPERATION Customizing or programming a scanner provides maximum flexibility and allows a single scanner to serve many installation environments. Since the HS1250 supports a variety of interface configurations and barcode symbologies, it may be necessary to customize your scanner to meet the specific requirements of your retail environment.
CHANGING THE VOLUME There are three possible volume settings. Each time you scan this label, the scanner's volume will change to the next highest level. If the current volume is the highest selection, the selection will return to the lowest setting.
PROGRAMMING Programming describes the process of changing scanner features using the special barcode labels contained in the Programming Kit (R44-1340). When the scanner is placed in Programming Mode, the scanner will not read any standard barcode labels or transmit any data to the host. The Programming Kit contains a description of Programming Mode and complete instructions for customizing your scanner's features.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE HS1250 maintenance procedures consist of window cleaning and window replacement. CLEANING The scanner actually has two windows; upper and lower. While the top of the upper scan window may require periodic cleaning due to spillage, surface dust, etc., other window surfaces are unlikely to need much attention.
