MAGELLAN® PROGRAMMING 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.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
• 6 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.
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).
8 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.
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.
• • • 10 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
VOLUME SWITCH: DISABLE Use this label to disable Magellan's volume selection switch.
VOLUME SWITCH: ENABLE Use this label to enable Magellan's volume selection switch.
SPEAKER: ON Use this label to enable the speaker.
SPEAKER: OFF Use this label to disable the speaker.
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 the switch depressed for longer than three seconds will initiate a scanner reset. The scanner sounds the next volume setting three times. There are three volume options available.
SPEAKER VOLUME = LOW Use this label to set the speaker volume to low.
SPEAKER VOLUME = MEDIUM Use this label to set the speaker volume to medium.
SPEAKER VOLUME = HIGH Use this label to set the speaker volume to high.
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.
PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 4 DIGIT Use this label to enable the calculation and comparison of four digit Price/Weight Check Digit for UPC/EAN.
PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 5 DIGITS Use this label to enable the calculation and comparison of five digit Price/Weight Check Digit for UPC/EAN.
PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 4 DIGITS (EUROPE) Use this label to enable the calculation and comparison of four digit Price/Weight Check Digit for UPC/EAN.
PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT = 5 DIGITS (EUROPE) Use this label to enable the calculation and comparison of five digit Price/Weight Check Digit for UPC/EAN.
PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT: DISABLE Use this label to disable Price/ Weight Check Digit calculation and comparison.
TIMEOUTS Timeouts allow you to shut off the scanner's laser and/or motor if the scanner isn't used for a predetermined period of time. This feature is included to prolong the life of the motor and Visible Laser Diode (VLD). NOTE Laser safety requires that the laser switch off before the motor. If you set the motor timeout shorter than the laser timeout, the motor will remain on until the laser shuts off.
SETTING LASER TIMEOUT The laser timeout programming labels set the time for switching the visible laser diode (VLD) off if the scanner isn't used. Using this feature can prolong the life of the VLD.
LASER TIMEOUT = 5 MINUTES Use this label to set the laser timeout to 5 minutes.
LASER TIMEOUT = 10 MINUTES Use this label to set the laser timeout to 10 minutes.
LASER TIMEOUT = 15 MINUTES Use this label to set the laser timeout to 15 minutes.
SETTING MOTOR TIMEOUT The Motor Timeout programming labels set the time for switching the motor off if the scanner isn't used. At no time will the motor timeout before the laser.
MOTOR TIMEOUT = 5 MINUTES Use this label to set the motor timeout to 5 minutes.
MOTOR TIMEOUT = 15 MINUTES Use this label to set the motor timeout to 15 minutes.
MOTOR TIMEOUT = 30 MINUTES Use this label to set the motor timeout to 30 minutes.
MOTOR TIMEOUT = 60 MINUTES Use this label to set the motor timeout to 60 minutes.
SETTING DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT The double read timeout sets a time limit that determines how much time must pass before reading the same label again (e.g. two identical items in succession). The selections are: • Set timeout = 400 milliseconds • Set timeout = 600 milliseconds • Set timeout = 800 milliseconds • Set timeout = 1 second DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 400MS Sets the time you must wait between reading the same label again to 400ms. This is the recommended setting.
DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 600MS Sets the time you must wait between reading the same label again to 600ms.
DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 800MS Sets the time you must wait between reading the same label again to 800ms.
DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 1 SECOND Sets the time you must wait between reading the same label again to one second.
PERIPHERAL PORT Magellan's peripheral port can be configured to accept input from an undecoded handheld scanner. The labels on the following pages allow you to enable/disable the port, change the communication speed and enable/disable the handheld scanner's LED. HANDHELD PORT: ENABLE Use this label to enable the peripheral port to accept input from a handheld (HHLC) scanner.
HANDHELD PORT: DISABLE Use this label to disable the peripheral port to accept input from a handheld (HHLC) scanner.
HANDHELD PERIPHERIAL PORT SPEED Since the communication speed of handheld scanners vary greatly, it is necessary to select a speed that tells Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data. This selection process is rather unscientific (trial and error) since industry standards do not exist.
HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 5 This label sets the communication speed to five. Use Peripherial Port Speed settings to tell Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data. This setting works best when connecting a Symbol Technology undecoded scanner to the peripherial port.
HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 6 This label sets the communication speed to six. Use Peripherial Port Speed settings to tell Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data.
HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 7 This label sets the communication speed to seven. Use Peripherial Port Speed settings to tell Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data. This is the default setting. Use this setting when connecting a SP400, Caere or PSC undecoded scanner.
HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 8 This label sets the communication speed to eight. Use Peripherial Port Speed settings to tell Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data.
HANDHELD PERIPHERAL PORT: SPEED = 9 This label sets the communication speed to nine. Use Peripherial Port Speed settings to tell Magellan how long to wait to receive a complete barcode data.
HANDHELD LED When the scanner and POS system both indicate that a label has been read, it is helpful to disable the handheld devises good read indicator. The labels on the next two pages allow you to enable and disable the handheld's LED. HANDHELD LED: ON Scan this label and the handheld device LED will light when a label is successfully scanned.
HANDHELD LED: OFF Scan this label to disable the handheld scanner's LED. This prevents the LED from lighting when a barcode label is scanned successfully. Use this feature when the POS system sounds a tone to indicate that the label has been read.
CHANGING BARCODE TYPES One of Magellan's features is the ability to autodiscriminate between the UPC/EAN symbology family and three industrial codes; Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code 128. The following barcodes allow you to change the types of barcode symbologies that your scanner recognizes. Be sure that your POS terminal interface can recognize the barcodes you wish to enable before you change these settings. To change symbologies: 1. Select the symbology you wish to enable. (e.g. Code 39) 2.
UPC-D: ENABLE Scanning this barcode label adds UPC-D to other UPC/EAN symbologies that are enabled.
UPC-D: DISABLE Scanning this barcode label disable UPC-D only while leaving other UPC/EAN symbologies uneffected.
UPC/EAN EXPANSION The labels on the following pages allow you to change the UPC/EAN label transmission format. UPC-E TO UPC-A EXPANSION – ENABLE Use this label to enable the expansion of UPC-E labels to UPC-A format before transmission to the host terminal. Enabling this feature will automatically disable the 'Expand UPC-E to EAN-13' feature. The scanner will now translate UPC-E label data into UPC-A format before sending it to the host.

OCIA INTERCHARACTER DELAY – ENABLE Scan this label to enable OCIA intercharacter delay.
OCIA INTERCHARACTER DELAY - DISABLE Scan this label to disable OCIA intercharacter delay.
MULTIDROP SCANNER ADDRESSING The labels on the next four pages allow you to set the scanner address for scanners connected to a multidrop system. These settings are determined by your system's requirements. Check with your system support personnel before changing these settings.
MULTIDROP SCANNER ADDRESS = p Scan this label to set the scanner identifier to 'p' (70hex).
MULTIDROP SCANNER ADDRESS = q Scan this label to set the scanner identifier to 'q' (71hex).
MULTIDROP SCANNER ADDRESS = r Scan this label to set the scanner identifier to 'r' (72hex).
MULTIDROP SCANNER ADDRESS = s Scan this label to set the scanner identifier to 's' (73hex).
SCALE FEATURES The following labels apply to the weighing functions of the scale and have no effect on the scanner. These labels will be rejected if scanned by the Magellan without a scale.
REMOTE DISPLAY: ENABLE Scanning this label requires that a Remote Display is connected. If this feature is enabled, but a Remote Display is not connected, the scanner/scale will sound a series of tones indicating an error was found. Either connect a display or disable this feature to correct the error.
REMOTE DISPLAY: DISABLE Scan this label if your POS system contains a built-in weight display and does not require a Remote Display.
SCALE: COUNTRY SELECTION = NORTH AMERICA Scan this programming label if this scanner/scale is installed in a North American country.
SCALE: COUNTRY SELECTION = UNITED KINGDOM Scan this programming label if this scanner/scale is installed in the United Kingdom.
THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK 172
SCALE: COUNTRY SELECTION = RESERVED This feature is reserved for future applications that require unique weight data reporting and handling. Call your dealer, distributor or PSC service office nearest you for more details regarding the use of this label.
SCALE: MOTION FILTER SELECTION = 1 Scan this label if there is little or no vibration from other equipment mounted in your checkstand (e.g. conveyor belts, electric motors, etc.). If the Zero indicator lamp flashes off and on while the scanner/scale is idle, select the next highest setting.
SCALE: MOTION FILTER SELECTION = 2 Scan this label if there is a small amount of vibration from other equipment mounted in your checkstand (e.g. conveyor belts, electric motors, etc.). If the Zero indicator lamp flashes off and on while the scanner/scale is idle, select the next highest setting.
SCALE: MOTION FILTER SELECTION = 3 Scan this label if there is significant vibration from other equipment mounted in your checkstand (e.g. conveyor belts, electric motors, etc.). If the Zero indicator lamp flashes off and on while the scanner/scale is idle, select the next highest setting.
SCALE: MOTION FILTER SELECTION = 4 This setting is not recommended unless the scale to experience difficulty maintaining zero and/or weighing products. If you must choose this setting, installation and operating conditions for accurate weighing may not be adequate. NOTE If, after selecting this setting, the Zero indicator lamp flashes off and on while the scanner/scale is idle, your installation is not stable enough for accurate weighing operation.
SCALE ENFORCED ZERO RETURN – DISABLE Scan this label to disable the scale's Enforced Zero Return feature.
SCALE ENFORCED ZERO RETURN - ENABLE Scan this label to enable the Enforce Zero Return feature. This feature monitors the scale to ensure that it returns to zero within four minutes after the last weighing transaction was completed. If the scale fails to return to zero within the allotted time, the scale will be rendered inoperable until rezeroed. If the display shows a negative weight prior to a transaction, weighing operations will not be allowed until the scale is rezeroed.
SCALE ADDRESS (IBM 4683) = 6A If Magellan is connected to an IBM 4683 POS system Port 17, scan this barcode to change the scale address to 6A.
SCALE ADDRESS (IBM 4683) = 6B If Magellan is connected to an IBM 4683 POS system Port 17, scan this barcode to change the scale address to 6B.
SCALE ADDRESS (IBM 4683) = 6E If Magellan is connected to an IBM 4683 POS system Port 17, scan this barcode to change the scale address to 6E. 6E is the default address.
SCALE: BEEP AFTER WEIGHING – ENABLE Scan this label to instruct Magellan to sound a tone when the weight data has been sent to the host.
SCALE: BEEP AFTER WEIGHING – DISABLE After scanning this barcode, Magellan will not sound a tone after a weight has been sent to the host. This is the normal default setting for this feature.
