NOTES

In stores where counter space is at a premium, the Magellan™ 800i Omni-Directional Imaging Scanner maintains an aggressive scan zone that is necessarily tight against the scanner's face. Scanning methods include a mixture of sweep and presentation styles, offering hands-free scanning for small, easily handled items and handheld scanning for bulkier objects.

About This Manual

This manual presents advanced user information which includes 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. Use the appropriate instructions below 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 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter). 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. RS-232 Serial Connection using A/C Adapter

Connect Here I/F Cable To Host/Terminal A/C Adapter (if needed) For 220-230 VAC adapters, the cord must be facing down as shown in the illustration. If installed upwards, it will pose an undue strain on the socket outlet.

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 2.

Figure 2. USB Connection

Line drawing of a vintage computer setup with a USB cable and connector (no text or symbols)

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.

Barcode image containing encoded digital information

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, Default Settings.

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. One 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.

Green LED Indications

LED INDICATION	INDICATION COMMENT
Power-on indication	Bright green flash	Indicates the scanner has finished all its power up tests and is now ready for operation.
Good Read Indication	Bright green flash Indicates a bar code	has been read and decoded.
Scanner Ready Constant dim green The scanner is ready for operation.
Sleep Mode	Constant green flash (100mS on, 1900mS off)	The scanner is in Sleep Mode. To wake the scanner up, move an object in front of its window.
Host Disable	Constant green flash at 1 Hz (100mS on, 900mS off)	The scanner is disabled due to receiving a disable command from the POS terminal.
Diagnostics	Varies (see Error Codes on page 5 for more information)	The LED can provide diagnostic feedback if the scanner discovers a problem during SelfTest.
Prog. Mode See	Host Disable above. The scanner is in Programming Mode.

BEEPER FUNCTIONS

BEEPER INDICATION	INDICATION COMMENT
Power On Beep Single beep		The Power-On LED indication is a configurable feature which can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, this beep indicates the scanner has finished all its power up tests and is now ready for operation.
Good Read Indication	Single beep	The good read beep indication is configurable. Options include: Enable/disable, frequency, duration and volume. See the “LED and Beeper Indicators” section on page 12 for more information.
Diagnostics	Varies (see Error Codes on page 5 for more information)	The Beeper can provide diagnostic feedback if the scanner discovers a problem during SelfTest.
Programming Mode Indications	Varies depending upon the feature(s) being configured.	The Beeper will sound as programming bar code labels are scanned, indicating progress during scanner configuration.

Error Codes

Upon startup, if the scanner flashes its indicator LED or sounds an unexpected series of beep tones (other than normal power-up indications), this means the scanner has not passed its automatic Selftest and has entered FRU ^1 isolation mode. If the scanner is reset or the trigger is pulled, the sequence will be repeated. The following table describes the LED flashes/beep codes associated with an error found.

Image Capture

NOTE

Image capture requires that the scanner use the Standard RS-232 or USB COM interface ONLY.

The scanner reverts to normal reading mode after image capture and transfer.

How to Capture an Image

By default, images are captured as 640 x 480 (VGA) format with a minimum compression ratio, and are displayed via the host application software. There are two methods of capturing images as discussed below:

• Image Capture by Scanning a Special label
• Image Capture to the Host by Host Command

Image Capture by Scanning a Special label

To initiate an Image Capture, scan the IMAGE CAPTURE label below.

IMAGE CAPTURE

Upon scanning this label, the scanner's beeper will sound a "chirp" sequence and its LED's will flash rapidly for a time (nominally five seconds). At the end of this time, the scanner will capture the image and sound a rapid beep series. The scanner's LED's will then flash more slowly while data is being transmitted to the host. The beeper will then sound a final series of beeps to indicate the capture process is complete.

Image Capture to the Host by Host Command

Image Capture is also available through Host commands. Refer to Appendix F, Host Commands for more information.

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.

A value of 100 means minimal compression. A value of 1 means maximum compression at a loss of quality. Follow these steps to program this feature:

1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Scan the Set Image Compression bar code.
3. Turn to Alphanumeric Pad and scan the two digits (zero-padded) representing the desired compression. The configurable range is 01-0x64 by increments of 01.
4. Scan the END bar code.

Image Brightness

This feature sets the image brightness value. Follow these instructions to configure this feature:

1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Scan the Set Image Brightness bar code.
3. Turn to Alphanumeric Pad and scan the two digits (zero-padded) representing the desired brightness in decimal notation. The configurable range is 00-0x0A by increments of 01.

Cell Phone Mode

Cell phone mode is when the scanner is enabled to read barcodes on a cell phone display. This mode is set as follows:

• Disabled - No cell phone mode
  • Auto - Will automatically go to cell phone mode
• Manual - Will go to cell phone mode on receiving a command from the host. See Appendix F, Host Commands for more information regarding this feature.

Cell Phone Mode Sensitivity

When Cell Phone Mode is configured for “Auto” for a scanner, it will go into cell phone mode based on what is seen in its field of view. (The illumination LED’s will “flutter” slightly when entering cell phone mode.) By default, medium sensitivity is selected. If the scanner is going into cell phone mode more often than the user would like, the scanner can be set to low sensitivity by scanning the low sensitivity programming labels on the following page. If the scanner does not seem to go into cell phone mode often enough, the scanner can be set to high sensitivity by scanning the high sensitivity programming labels.

Data Editing Overview

CAUTION

These features are not supported by the USB-OEM interface.

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 5 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Figure 5. Breakdown of a Message String

    K["00 - 20 Characters (ASCII)"] --> L["End"]

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 Chart (from 00-7F) 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.

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.

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 reader.

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 7.

Figure 7. Prefix and Suffix Positions

OR... Prefix Label ID AIM ID Bar Code Data Label ID Suffix 00 - 20 Characters (ASCII) AND 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 Chart 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, Alphanumeric Pad.

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

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.

NOTE

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, 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.

The Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each of which are 00-7F) 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 Chart 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, Alphanumeric 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.
