Page 31: Section 2. Site Preparation And Installation
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 consider- ations, cable routing information and unit installation. Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.
Page 32: Pre-Installation Considerations
Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family Model 8503 Model 8504 Model 8505 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.
Page 33: Checkstand Design
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’...
Page 34: Scanner Installation
Scanner Installation 1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the coun- tertop 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.
Page 35: Site Preparation Overview
2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergo- nomics principles, such as: Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work equally between hands. Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items. Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a barcode toward either of the scanner windows.
Page 36 Recommended Power Installation. Since the typical grocery environ- ment 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). Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,”...
Page 37: Ventilation And Spacing
Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical clearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2 Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstruc- tions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.
Page 38: Service Access
If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installa- tions, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air move- ment. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may be washed or replaced is recommended.
Page 39: Power Installation
Power Installation Plug your scanner into an electrical outlet that has been wired to meet all applicable electrical codes, laws, and regulations and has a common ground with the Point-of-Sale terminal Grounding The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground.
Page 40: Checkstand Preparation
Checkstand Preparation Reference . When performing a first time installation into a new Figure 2-4 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 installa- tion of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices.
Page 41: Liquid Spills And Moisture
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.
Page 42 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 replace- ment is required.

at power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero Push Button should allow the scale to find zero. • When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success- fully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Oper- ating Mode.
Page 79: Additional Functions
Sleep Mode After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking at a 2-second rate).
Page 80: Scale Adjustments
Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics.
Page 81 Calibrating the Scale The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale is set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 - 30 pounds, and, if your scale is set for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 - 15 kilograms.

Page 139: Section 7. Programming
Section 7 Programming Introduction to Label Programming The programming barcode labels contained in this manual will allow you to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner (scan- ner/scale). To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming barcodes in this manual and other product-specific publica- tions to program scanner features.
Page 140: Customizing Your Scanner's Operation
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 installa- tion. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this section, then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program the scanner.
Page 141: Programming Overview
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming barcodes ® presented in this manual. Datalogic models QuickScan 1000 and ®...
Page 142: What Is Programming Mode
What Is Programming Mode? Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming barcode labels. When pro- gramming using the barcode 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 barcodes contained in this programming guide.
Page 143: Programming Session
Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: 1. Scan the SWITCH barcode 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 barcode and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode.
Page 144 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 fea- tures are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to deter- mine which features may or may not have been successfully set following NOTE such a session.
Page 145: Programming Sequence
Programming Sequence To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming barcodes contained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 7-1). There are three possi- ble programming sequences: If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter- face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses- sion.

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 configura- tion to the factory settings.
Page 148: Test Mode
Test Mode Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that barcode data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the barcode to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal.
