Installation

Connect the scanner to the host (terminal) using the interface (I/F) cable

as shown below. A cable from an older existing installation can be re-

used if it uses Power Off the Terminal (POT), unless it is a USB POT cable.

If external power is used/needed, plug the AC Adapter into the AC wall

outlet, then connect it to the I/F cable as shown in ‘b’ and ‘c’ of the illus-

tration.

Scan some known-good bar code samples to verify correct operation. The

scanner should beep and/or flash its good read LED1and send the bar

code data to the host or terminal. If not, use the Troubleshooting section

of this guide to identify any problems.

Scanner installation is complete.

1. Be aware that beeper and LED behavior may have previously been config-

ured as “disabled” by another user.

How to Scan

Bar codes can either be presented to the scanner’s window or pushed

past it using a “sweep” technique. The scanner can altenatively be pro-

grammed to initiate a scan of a cell phone or other LCD bar code object, or

an image capture upon pushing the Camera Push Button. See the PRG for

more details.

Troubleshooting

Use this table to resolve common problems.

1. Product 4. Sweeping motion

2. Scan Window 5. Presentation motion

3. Bar code

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Scanner does not power on Exchange the power supply with a known

good power supply and retest operation.

No communication with the host

Consult your technical support personnel

or refer to your host system manual to

verify the proper interface type, cable and

connection port(s) for the scanner. Verify

the interface cable is securely attached to

the host and the scanner.

4 MagellanTM 3200VSi

Productivity Index Reporting™ Option

Your scanner may be equipped with the optional Productivity Index

Reporting™feature. This feature allows for data collection on the readabil-

ity index of bar codes scanned by the scanner. This data may be trans-

mitted to the POS Terminal, where it may be easily sorted for action by

the MIS department to improve bar code quality at the front end.

For additional information on how to enable Productivity Index Reporting

in your scanner, please refer to the Product Reference Guide (PRG)

Scanner Push Button

The Scanner Push Button also performs multiple functions depending

upon the duration of time it is pressed:

The scanner will not read bar codes at

all, or reads poorly

Make sure the window is clean. Check

that the bar codes are of sufficient quality

to be recognized by the scanner. Wrin-

kled, smudged, or torn labels can cause

the scanner to not read at all. Scan

known-good labels of an active symbol-

ogyato check the scanner's read opera-

tion.

If the scanner still does not function properly, consult the Product Reference Guide

(PRG) or contact your local supplier or Datalogic Customer Support Services.

a. Reading of the various bar code symbologies can be independently

enabled or disabled in the scanner.

NOTE

Volume changes made using the Volume/Tone

Push Button are lost when the scanner is pow-

ered down and are reset to the configured set-

ting. If you wish to permanently change the

volume, use the special programming labels in

the Product Reference Guide.

Alternatively, the scanner can

be awakened by:

- Moving an object through the

scan zone.

- Scanning with an attached

auxiliary scanner.

Momentary

awake)

Increments volume

Press the push button momen-

tarily to increase speaker vol-

ume. When the loudest volume

is reached, a repeated press of

the beeper will sound at one of

three tones. Stop when the

desired tone (high, medium or

low) is sounded.

4 Seconds Scanner Diagnostics

Modea

This mode allows system sup-

port personnel to troubleshoot

problems with the scanner and

is used to determine if it can

read bar codes. Press the but-

ton for 8 seconds or cycle

power to exit Scanner Diagnos-

tics Mode and reset the scan-

ner.

8 Seconds Resets ScannerbOnly system support person-

nel should perform a reset.

a. By standard default, this function is normally disabled to prevent

accidental activation by users.

b. Users should not perform scanner resets except under the direction

of trained systems support personnel.

LED and Beeper Indicators

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to indicate

various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables below list these

indications. An exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the

scanner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned

on. For example, certain indications, such as the power-up beep can be

disabled using programming bar code labels.

Error Codes

If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three

seconds) and flash its LED, indicating a failure. When this occurs, press

the Scanner Push button to hear the error code. If it is configured to do

so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps corresponding to the error

code and/or flash its LED simultaneous to the beeps. The table below

describes what these codes mean and what action should be taken for

each.
