Site Preparation Overview
Routine operations such as 'zeroing'
Service Access Requirements —
and calibration do not require removal of the scanner from the
checkstand or disassembly of the product. The installer should plan
service access for the AC/DC Power Supply and cables.
Since the typical grocery envi-
Recommended Power Installation —
ronment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should
be taken to ensure that the scanner has a supply of "clean" power
(power without excessive electrical noise).
Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes
Counter Preparation —
are designed as "left-hand take away," the counter drawings in this
chapter 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.
Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture
Liquid Drainage —
can flow through the checkstand without pooling.
Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand
Leveling —
mounts and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner
or scanner/scale within the counter. Use a 0.375" thick board to
replicate the mounting flange on the long scanner or scanner/scale,
and adjust screws or bolts until the board is flush within the
counter. Use a 4.0" wide board stood on its end to adjust leveling
screws/bolts in rail support applications.
Placement of the scanner/scale should be planned
Cable Routing —
to allow easy access to other components as well as optimize com-
munication between the scanner, the POS terminal, the optional
Remote Scale Display and any EAS peripheral equipment. Do not
route interface cables near any electrical motors or other sources of
electromagnetic interference.
The customer, and checker in
Remote Scale Display Placement —
some instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote
Scale Display. Ambient light and mounting height considerations
are discussed later in this chapter.
Provision must be made to allow adequate
Vertical Clearance —
space above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of an
L-shaped platter. Optimal clearance permits the platter to be
grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal without
obstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclo-
