The Magellan™ 3300HSi Horizontal Single Plane Scanner is designed for small counter retail checkout environments where there is a relatively high number of transactions with a fairly small number of items per transaction. The scanner has a reduced footprint, allowing more room for item merchandising of high margin impulse items clustered around the P.O.S.

About This Manual

This manual provides advanced user information, including connection, programming, product and cable specifications, and other useful references. For additional information, such as installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information, see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for this product are downloadable free of charge from the website listed on the back cover of this manual.

On leaving the factory, units are programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, custom programming can be accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

Bold text and a yellow-highlighted background indicates the most common default setting for a feature/option.

Manual Conventions

The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the scanner:

NOTE

Notes contain information necessary for properly diagnosing, repairing and operating the scanner.

CAUTION

The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions that could damage equipment or property.

Connecting the Scanner

The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation. Alternatively, if your scanner receives Power Off the Terminal (POT) it might be possible to connect using a cable from a previously existing installation (except for USB). If you wish to connect using an existing cable, but cannot use POT, a short adapter cable is available. Check with your technical support representative about compatibility before connecting. Use the appropriate instructions below when you're ready to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC or other host device.

Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to the Interface Related Features section of this manual and scan the bar code to select the correct interface type.

RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1a. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter) as shown in Figure 1b. Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

Figure 1. Connecting the Scanner

USB Connection — Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 1.

NOTE

USB installations may require a power connection via an approved A/C Adapter as shown in Figure 1b or Figure 1c. For example, this would be the case if the scanner is connected along with a number of other devices to a non-powered USB hub.

IBM Connection — Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the terminal/PC using the correct IBM cable. Reference Figure 1.

Keyboard Wedge Connection — Before connection, turn off power to the terminal/PC. The Keyboard Wedge cable has a 'Y' connection from the scanner. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 1b.

Installation

For comfortable slide-through scanning, mount the scanner level with the countertop. Follow these steps for flush installation:

1. Decide the best situation for the scanner by considering...

2. Proximity to the user. Verify that checkstand features allow the scanner to be within easy reach of the user, without interfering with cash drawers or other equipment.

3. Cable routing to and from the scanner: Can cables and connected devices be routed in such a way as to be protected from damage or tampering?
4. Mounting stability. Avoid placing the scanner in such a way as to subject it to excess vibration, bumping, spillage, etc.

5. Peripheral connections from the scanner, such as a handheld device.

6. The countertop must be modified to accept the scanner. At the time of this writing, three options are available.

7. Figure 3a shows the dimensions for the opening and other details if a shelf is to be built to support the unit.

8. Figure 3b details the cutout dimensions if an adapter fixture holding the scanner will rest with its rim above the countertop.

9. Figure 3c provides dimensions if an adapter fixture holding the scanner will be recessed to be flush with the countertop.

10. Remove the Connector Cover, then connect and route the cables at the scanner.

11. Seat the scanner or in the countertop opening (or adapter).

12. Switch the terminal OFF.

13. Connect the interface cable to the terminal.

14. If required, connect the scanner's AC Adapter to the AC outlet.

15. Switch the terminal ON.

16. Verify operation by scanning a few known-good bar code labels. The scanner should now be communicating the bar code data to the POS terminal.

17. This concludes the installation instructions.

Programming

The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interface Related Features section, you can select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and programming bar codes available in that section and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like the label below for resetting defaults, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the scanner to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan a START/END bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the START/END bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal operation.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you are unsure of what programming options are in your scanner, or you've changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current configuration.

Black and white barcode image with vertical lines and a small number '1' at the bottom left.

Standard Product Default Settings

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands for the standard RS-232 interface in BOLD text on the following pages. Exceptions to default settings for the other interfaces can be found in Appendix D, Factory Default Settings.

Data Matrix Programming Labels

Some scanners can be configured using Data Matrix programming labels. This feature is ONLY available for scanners with 2D capability.

Contact Technical Support to request Data Matrix programming labels.

Bar Code Mask

Cut a hole in this page and remove it from the manual as indicated to create a sleeve through which bar codes (starting in the following section) can be individually viewed and scanned. It is important that only one bar code at a time be presented to the scanner.

Image Capture

How to Capture an Image

There are two methods of capturing images as discussed below:

• Image Capture to a microSD Card by Scanning a Special Label
• Image Capture to the Host by Host Command
- Image Capture to a microSD Card by Optional Remote Camera Button Press

Image Capture to a microSD Card by Scanning a Special Label

Insert a microSD card into the scanner, scan a capture label and place the item to be captured in front of the scanner. If an optional Remote Camera Button is connected to the auxiliary port, then press the Remote Camera Button to write an image to the microSD card. If no Remote Camera Button is connected, the image will be written to the microSD card five seconds after scanning the capture label.

The format, size, contrast, brightness and compression use the configured values.

This Capture label is as follows:

IMAGEFAUTO

NOTE

The Capture label will not read unless a microSD card is inserted.

The image filename is automatically increased from image000 to image999.

The date image file generated is not actual, since no real time clock is embedded in the scanner.

Image Capture to the Host by Host Command

This feature is only available for RS-232 and USB COM interfaces.

NOTE

If the USB COM interface has been selected, follow the USB COM Interface Set-up instructions in the Interface Related Features chapter of this guide.

The host command format is as follows:

P<cnt>pSBC 

where:

P - ASCII 'P' used as preamble of pass-through commands

- binary value of 4 indicating 4 bytes to follow

p - ASCII lowercase 'p' ; command to take a picture

S - size value of image as ASCII character

'S' == uses scanner's configuration value

'0'-VGA, (640X480)

'1'-WVGA, (752X480)

'2'-SXGA, (1280x1027)

'3'-CIF (320x240)

B - brightness value in ASCII

'B' == uses scanner's configuration value CI_IMAGE_BRIGHTNESS

else '0' thru'9' specifies brightness

C - contrast value in ASCII

'C' == uses scanner configuration value CI_IMAGE_CONTRAST

else '0' thru'9' specifies contrast

IF the image is of a type the scanner supports, capture and transmission occurs, and the command is of proper format

THEN

The scanner will transmit an ACK (0x06) to the Host in response to this command.

The image data transmission starts with a 4 byte binary field representing (Big Endian) number of bytes to follow.

If the “number of bytes to follow” value is zero, there was a problem with generating the image and the request should be retried.

ELSE

The scanner will transmit a BEL (0x07) to the Host in response to this command.

ENDIF

Image Capture to a microSD Card by Optional Remote Camera Button Press

NOTE

This feature is only available if the Camera Button is configured as image capture, optional Remote Camera Button and a microSD card is inserted.

Ensure a Remote Camera Button is connected to the auxiliary port, then insert a microSD card into the scanner.

• Press and release the Remote Camera Button.
• Place an item to be captured in front of the scanner.
• Press and release the Remote Camera Button again. An image named bim gxxxx.jpg will be written to the microSD card.

Format, size, contrast, brightness and compression use the configured values.

The image filename is automatically incremented from bimg0000 to bimg9999. The date image file generated is not actual, since no real time clock is embedded in the scanner.

Image Compression

Specifies the starting image compression factor for JPEG images. A higher number specifies a higher quality image with less compression than a relative lower number for the same image.

Host Echo

When enabled, this feature passes all data through the scanner to the host as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy chaining” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for example, one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requiring transmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 channel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set via RS-232 Host Echo Quiet Interval).

USB COM Interface Set-up

The scanner has two USB COM interfaces, USB COM and USB COM DL (Datalogic). The Datalogic USB-COM driver works for both USB COM interfaces.

Before plugging your scanner into the Host PC, please ensure you have already copied the executable DLS-USB-COM driver file to your PC and that the scanner's interface is set to USB COM or USB COM DL. The DLS-USB-COM driver is provided by Datalogic or downloaded from the Datalogic website listed on the back cover of this manual.

1. Execute the DLS-USB-COM driver file.
2. When the scanner is first plugged into the PC, Windows will bring up the "Found New Hardware" message.
3. The installation is complete.

NOTES

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.

CAUTION

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.

There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

    E["Prefix $uffixAIM ID"] --> F["label ID Label IDBar Code Data"]
    G["00 - 20 Characters (ASCII)"] --> H["Image of device"]

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Character Set (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

AIM ID

AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers) label identifiers are assigned from a globally standardized list — as opposed to custom label ID characters you select yourself — and can be included with scanned bar code data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows:

• A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...
• A code character (see the table below), followed by...
  • A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent)

Case Conversion

This feature can convert scanned bar code data to either all lower case (a through z) or all upper case (A through Z) characters.

NOTE

Case conversion affects ONLY scanned bar code data, and does not affect Label ID, Prefix, Suffix, or other appended data.

START / END

PROGRAMMING bar codes

Character Conversion

Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.

For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following: 41423132FFFFFFF

The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.

With the label, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BG25TB82.

The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to the numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. Scan the START/END bar code.

2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.

3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Character Set on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.

The positions not used must be filled with the character 'F'.

NOTE

1. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step. When the last character is scanned, the scanner will sound a triple beep.
2. Scan the START/END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

References

This section contains explanations and examples of selected bar code features. See the programming sections for the actual bar code labels used to configure the scanner.

Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Prefix and Suffix Positions

AND OR 00 - 20 Characters (ASCII) Prefix SuffixAIM ID Label ID Label ID Bar Code Data OR...

Example: Setting a Prefix

In this example, we'll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In this example, we'll add a dollar sign (‘\$’) as a prefix.

2. Scan the START bar code.

3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.

4. Reference the ASCII Character Set on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the '\$' character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the '2' and '4' bar codes from Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad.

5. Scan the END bar code once to finish the string, then scan END again to exit Programming Mode.

NOTE

If all 20 characters will be used in the prefix or suffix, do not scan the END bar code to finish the string. It is done automatically.

1. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data:12345

Resulting message string output: \$12345

Label ID

A Label ID is used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See Appendix D, Factory Default Settings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the feature, AIM ID on page 75.

The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of which are 00-FF) followed by a control character (00-01), This control character, when set to zero, does nothing. When set to one, it appends the symbology's AIM ID to the Label ID.

When the control character is set to 01 for UPC-A and UPC-E, it expands the label to EAN-13 and thus follows the EAN-13 Label ID settings.

NOTE

To configure a Label ID:

1. Scan the START bar code.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar code.

3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label ID.

4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the ASCII Character Set on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.

5. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step. For example, to make an equal sign (=), scan '3' and 'D' followed by '0' six times. Since this is a three-character buffer, '00' is scanned for character two, '00' for character three and '00' for the control character. ('00' indicates no character.)

6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.

2. Scan the Fixed Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first fixed length by following the Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second fixed length (or to '00' if there is only one fixed length) by following the Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.

Configuring Variable Length Decoding:

1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan the Variable Length Decoding bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Scan the START/END bar code.
4. Set Length 1 to the first variable length by following the Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.
5. Set Length 2 to the second variable length by following the Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions below.

Length 1, Length 2 Programming Instructions

1. Scan the START/END bar code.
2. Scan either the Set Length 1 or Set Length 2 bar code for the desired symbology.
3. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the two digits (zero padded) representing the length in decimal notation. The number of characters that can be set varies, depending upon the symbology. Reference the page for your selected symbology to see specific variables.
4. Scan the START/END bar code

microSDHC Compatibility

At the time of this writing, the microSD card interface for this product supports SD-Memory Card Specifications/Part 1. Physical Layer Specification; Version 1.01, but the processor MCI can communicate with SDHC Cards. For example, the scanner can perform the functions specified in this appendix for the SDA 2.0 specification. Both FAT16 and FAT32 formats are supported.

Filenames are limited to the 8.3 file naming format (i.e., FILENAME.EXT), and MUST be capitalized.

Top Cover Coin Slot Lift Handles

microSD Card Insertion

1. Read all of these instructions before starting.
2. If you have not already done so, remove the scanner from its installed position to allow access to the microSD card slot.
3. Use a coin or similar blunt object to lever the top cover from the scanner, then grasp the lift handles and carefully lift the unit from the counter.
4. Ensure there are no other cables attached to the scanner, then apply power and wait for the reset beep.
5. Lift and rotate the rubber cover to access the card slot, then carefully insert the microSD card into the slot until it "clicks" into place.

CAUTION

The microSD card slot is spring loaded. Keep your finger lightly in place atop the card until you are sure it is fully seated in place. See the illustration on the following page.

Use your finger or thumbnail to push in on the top edge of the card to be slightly below flush with the scanner enclosure when inserting or removing the card. This will engage/disengage the spring mechanism.

Never insert tools or other foreign objects into the microSD card slot.

Rubber Cover microSD Card Slot

1. If installed properly, you should immediately hear an audible signal upon insertion or removal of a microSD card. Various operations will also be indicated by the scanner's good read LED.

microSD Card Removal

1. Push in gently using your finger or thumbnail to disengage and remove the microSD card. Remember to keep your finger in place atop the card's edge to avoid accidentally "launching" the card from the springloaded slot.
2. Reconnect all cables which were disconnected earlier.

Autorun File Processing

microSD Card Scanner Push down past flush to seat, then carefully release Seated card

After insertion of the card, the scanner will mount the microSD card and search for the file "AUTORUN.DLS". Embedded in that file is a validation pattern of the ASCII strings "\START\" and "\END\" located at the respective starting and ending of the file.

If the validation pattern is found, the file may contain any of the following commands. The scanner will parse the file taking action according to these commands. Filenames in italics specify a user-defined name.

Example AUTORUN.DLS file:

\START\ (required)

CONFIG, FILENAME.TEX

DUMPSTATS, FILENAME.TXT

DUMPCFG, FILENAME.TEX

LOADSW, FILENAME.BIN

\END\ (required)

1. Insert the microSD card into the scanner

Black and white barcode image with vertical lines and a horizontal bar at the bottom

1. Scan the Capture Label

The scanner enters image capture mode.

1. Place the item to be captured in front of the scanner.

Press the Remote Camera Button if the scanner has this optional accessory connected. Otherwise, wait for 5 seconds and the scanner will automatically capture and save the image to the microSD card.

1. Upon scanner audio indication of completion, an image is saved to the microSD card.

The image file name range is from IMAGE000 to IMAGE999. if the same name already exists in the microSD card, the scanner skips that name and uses the next. For example, if IMAGE000.JPG is already used in the microSD card, the scanner uses IMAGE001.JPG. The time stamp is not real, since scanner does not have a real time clock.

NOTE

Image format (.BMP, .JPG), image size (VGA, WVGA, Full size), Brightness (0\~9), contrast (0\~9), and JPG compression ratio (0\~100) are defined in configuration.

NOTES

Appendix I

Handheld Data Format Requirements

This appendix provides application notes to describe the general format of data that can be accepted by the scanner through the auxiliary port as transmitted from a handheld scanner.

Handheld Data Format Requirements General

• 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
• RTS is used to "bracket" the data received from the handheld: RTS must be asserted high during data transmission, and de-asserted after label transmission is complete. CTS is used to hold off transmission of label from handheld.
• Symbologies requiring fixed lengths (UPC/EAN) will enforce length requirements for validation of the label.
• Handheld will be required to transmit start and stop characters for Codabar and Code 39 labels.
• Appropriate industrial length requirements will be enforced (if configured) for validation of the label.
• Maximum label lengths will be enforced for label validation (i.e. labels longer than the maximum label size will not be validated).
• Standard Datalogic formats generally use a single prefix character. The specific formats are provided below.
• Suggest that handheld turn off audible and visual good read indications to minimize operator confusion.
• Scanner will indicate if a label of improper format has been received from the handheld by sounding a “trill.”
