NOTES

Quick Reference Guide

Introduction

This manual provides user reference information for the following Magellan™ multi-

plane imaging scanners and scanner-scales: Model 939401, Model 939403, Model

939404, Model 939405, and Model 939406.

With digital imagers in all planes, the 9300i/9400i scanner is capable of reading both 1D

and 2D bar codes seamlessly without requiring item orientation by the cashier. This

manual describes basic operation. For more detailed information about setup, installa-

tion and programming, see the Product Reference Guide for this product. These manuals

are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) for viewing and printing from the web-

site listed on the back cover of this manual. Additionally, printed manuals can be

ordered from your dealer/distributor.

Operation

CAUTION

If applicable, apply power to the EAS Controller box before powering on

the scanner.

Certification Label

At the time the local scale regulatory authority certifies the scanner/scale for use, a cer-

tification label is affixed to the unit. Depending upon the size and shape of the label,

placement can be made in one of the locations shown in Figure 1.

Scanning Items

Quick Reference Guide

Scanning Items

Slide or push items through the scan zone in a right-to-left or left-to-right movement.

The scanner is equally efficient at scanning items in either direction. It is unnecessary to

shift the position of the bar code, as the scanner can ”read” it from the bottom, left,

right, front and back side of an item, as long as it is fully within the scan zone.

Figure 2. Scan Zones

Vertical Window Scan Zone

Preferred Scan Zone "Sweet Spot"

Checker Side Scan Zone

Arrow Guides

Horizontal Window Scan Zone

For best scanning results...

•Keep items in their natural orientation. Don’t favor any of the scan win-

dows.

•Use the arrow guides to (#6 in Figure 2) to center items over the horizontal

window.

•

Push or slide items instead of lifting them. Avoid unnecessary hand and

wrist movements such as rotation, gripping or twisting, as this can cause

repetitive motion injuries. This helpful technique can also allay the possibil-

ity of lifting thousands of pounds per day

NOTE

If a POS terminal holds the scanner in a disabled state, the scanner

enters limited scanning mode which allows reading of programming

labels but ‘chirps’ other labels.

The all-inclusive scan pattern and advanced FirstStrike™ decoding software ensures the

scanner will read most hard-to-read codes quickly and without a need to particularly

reorient items.

Weighing Items (Scale Models)

The unique platter design allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including

leaning atop its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. In addition, the Produce Rail

allows items to rest above the counter and other non-weighing surfaces. See Figure 3.

Once weighed items have been positioned, enter PLU (price Look-Up) data as described

in your POS system instructions. Item weight is displayed on the Remote Display and/or

the host display.

Figure 3. Weighing Items

Scale SentryTM Option

The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to detect and indi-

cate if they are overhanging non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s infrared (IR) beams

sense items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter at counter level or on the

surface of the weigh platter, the speaker will sound a unique tone and/or the ScaleSentry

LED indicator will illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condition. A scale transaction

cannot be completed until the item(s) are repositioned to rest fully on the platter (move

them towards the center), clearing the condition. Reference the PRG for more ScaleSentry

options and details.

Electronic Article Survellance (EAS) Deactivation Options

Deactivation of Sensormatic®, Nedap® or Checkpoint® EAS tags is an optional function.

The scanner must be expressly enabled to perform in either capacity.

Sensormatic Coupled Mode

When the scanner is configured to use Coupled EAS Deactivation Mode, deactivation of a

given item happens automatically following its bar code being successfully read.

Sensormatic Decoupled Mode

When in Decoupled Mode, the sales associate must press the Manual EAS Deactivation

button in order to deactivate an item. In this mode, deactivation is independent of the

scanning function.

Sensormatic Hybrid Mode

When in Hybrid Mode, deactivation of a given item happens automatically following its

bar code being successfully read, however, deactivation is independent of the scanning

function.

Controls and Indicators

Quick Reference Guide

Controls and Indicators

The scanner features a conspicuous green LED indicator bar atop the control panel side

of its vertical “bonnet” (item #2 in Figure 4). Additionally, a configurable speaker is used

to sound scanning, weighing and EAS deactivation indications, ScaleSentry event, etc.

LED Indicator Bar

Manual EAS Deactivation Button

This bar lights/flashes to indicate functions such as a good

read, ScaleSentry event, etc.

When in EAS Manual Deactivation Mode,

push this button to deactivate an item.

The LED illuminates to indicate EAS func-

tions with red, green OR orange color.

Scanner Control Button

ScaleSentry Override Button

-If the scanner is “asleep”, press this button to wake it up.

-Press this button momentarily to enter beeper volume

change state. Select one of five volume settings.

-Press this button between 1 and 4 seconds to enter beeper

tone change state.

-Press this button for 10 seconds to initiate a soft reset.

When configured to do so, a push of this

button will override a detected scale over-

hang condition.

This red LED indicates the current

ScaleSentry condition. See the

LED and

Beeper Indications

section for more

information.

Scale Zero Button

Speaker

With all weight removed from the scale, push this button to

set the scale to zero.

The yellow LED indicates scale functions.

Sounds

beeps, error tones and other audi-

ble signals to indicate good read,

ScaleSentry alert, system error and other

conditions.

Image Capture Button

This button is used to capture images using the vertical

window. See the PRG for more information.

a. Some audible indications are configurable to be on or off, as well as offer their own programmable

options for pitch, volume, etc.

b. Button functions may be disabled for some applications based on user requirements. See the pro-

gramming section of the PRG for details.

Cleaning

Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation

require periodic cleaning to assure best performance during scanning and weighing

operations. Use a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel dampened with a nonabrasive,

mild, water-based window cleaner to wipe away stains, smudges, fingerprints, spills,

etc. from the scan window and exterior surfaces (Figure 5a).

Figure 5. Cleaning the Scanner

(Models vary)

CAUTION

DO NOT spray

cleaners directly

on the scanner!

CAUTION

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive pads to clean this

product. Harsh chemicals, disinfectants, and cleansers can cause dam-

age which will adversely affect scanning and weighing performance.

Daily, clean the debris chutes between the platter and the outer housing (Figure 5c).

Most items can be cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a thin, stiff object

like a credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If necessary, remove the platter

(Figure 5b) to clean the debris chutes and drip rail.

CSS Option

Figure 6. Customer Service Scanner (CSS)

Coupon

A Customer Service Scanner (CSS) can

be teamed with the system which

enables mobile commerce (see Figure

6). This unit can be positioned sepa-

rately for optimal customer access.

This eliminates the need for an addi-

tional scanner, power supply, outlet,

interface cable, POS port and mounting

hardware. The customer can scan bar

codes from their mobile phone screen

or paper coupons while the cashier

continues to scan regular items in par-

allel.
