Magellan 9800i
Introduction
The MagellanTM 9800i is a multi-plane imaging bar code scanner with an optional integrated
scale, designed to serve in supermarket peripheral lanes. This manual describes its basic
operation. For more detailed information about setup, installation and programming, see
the Product Reference Guide for this product. These manuals are provided in Portable Docu-
ment Format (PDF) for viewing and printing from the website 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 pow-
ering on the scanner.

Certification Label
At the time the local scale regulatory authority certifies the scanner/scale for use, a certifi-
cation 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.

Scanning Items
Slide or push items through the SurroundScanTM 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 unnec-
essary to shift the position of the bar code, as the scanner can “read” it from the bottom,
top, left, right, front and back side of an item, as long as it is fully within the scan zone.
Figure 2. Scan Zones
For best scanning results...
• Keep items in their natural orientation. Don’t favor any of the scan windows.
• 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 possibility of lifting thou-
sands 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.

Scan Motion
The SurroundScan™ scan pattern and advanced FirstStrike™ decoding software ensures the
scanner will read most hard-to-read codes quickly and without a need to particularly reori-
ent items.
It is important to verify that the platter has been installed flush with the countertop to
enhance slide-through scanning (see Figure 1). If the platter is not flush with the counter,
contact the installer or your technical support team for assistance.

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation
require periodic cleaning to assure best performance during scanning and weighing opera-
tions. 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 4. Cleaning the Scanner
Daily, clean the debris chutes between the platter and the outer housing. 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 to clean the debris chutes
and drip rail.
CAUTION
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive pads
to clean this product. Harsh chemicals, disinfectants,
and cleansers can cause damage which will adversely
affect scanning and weighing performance.
(Models vary)
CAUTION
DO NOT spray
cleaners directly
on the scanner!

Weighing Items Using the All-Weighs® Platter
(Scale Models)
Items to be weighed can be placed anywhere on the L-shaped All-Weighs® platter (weigh
platter) surface. The unique platter design allows you to place items anywhere on its sur-
face. Oversized items can even be accurately weighed while leaned against the center of its
vertical section.
In addition, the Produce RailTM allows items to rest above the counter and other non-weigh-
ing surfaces. 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 5. Weighing Items
Scale Sentry™ Option
The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to detect and indicate
if they are overhanging non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s infrared (IR) beams sense
items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter, the speaker will sound a unique tone
and/or the ScaleSentry LED indicator will illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condi-
tion. 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.
