Frequently Asked Questions - Self Checkout Elgin

How do I calibrate the scale on the Elgin Self Checkout?
Calibration requires entering Scale Diagnostic Mode by pressing the Scale Zero Push Button for four seconds. Follow the calibration procedure in Chapter 5 of the manual using certified test weights. After calibration, you must have the scale certified by local weights and measures authorities.
What barcodes does the scanner support?
The scanner supports a wide range of 1D and 2D symbologies including UPC-A/E, EAN-8/13, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, MSI/Plessey, DataBar, and more. Refer to the full list in the manual.
How do I clean the scanner windows?
Use a non-abrasive, mild water-based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Clean the horizontal and vertical windows at least twice daily. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch the windows.
What should I do if the scale does not zero?
First, ensure the platter is clear of debris. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. If the zero light does not come on, clean the debris chutes and try again. If still not zeroing, the scale may need recalibration.
How do I reset the scanner?
Press and hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for about eight seconds. The scanner will beep rapidly, reset, and run the selftest routine. This is useful when the POS terminal has been reset or the scanner stops responding.
Can I change the weighing units from pounds to kilograms?
Yes, but changing weighing modes requires contacting technical support. After changing, the scale must be recalibrated before commercial use.
What are the power supply requirements?
The scanner/scale operates on 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz with an autosensing power supply. Use a dedicated outlet with clean earth grounding.
How do I replace the vertical scan window?
Remove the L-platter, then press out the old window from the bezel. Insert the new window, ensuring it seats in the retention tabs. Clean both sides before reinstalling the bezel.
Why is the scanner not reading barcodes?
Check that the scanner is powered on and the green LED is lit. Clean the windows. If the unit is in Sleep Mode, wave your hand over the horizontal window or press the platter. Also verify that the interface cable is properly connected to the POS terminal.
Is the EAS deactivation feature standard?
No, the EAS deactivation antenna is an optional feature. If equipped, it deactivates security labels when items are passed over the platter. Refer to the EAS system documentation for proper operation.

Physical Parameters

This chapter provides specifications for performance, environmental and electrical parameters. Reference Chapter 2, Site Preparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models and some accessories.

Scanning

The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner projects laser light in order to scan items. Two separate projections, one from the horizontal window and one from the vertical window, combine to form a zone where bar code labels are read. Refer to Chapter 3, Scanning Items, for more information.

Deactivating EAS Labels

Deactivation of EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) anti-theft labels is an additional function that can be performed by the scanner. More information about this feature can be referenced under the following topics:

• Chapter 3, Deactivating Security Labels
• Chapter 6, EAS Features

Weighing

Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique on page 53, refer to Chapter 3, Operation and Maintenance in this manual.

Rated Weight Capacity

The scale's operational weight capacity is:

• 30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments OR
• 15.000 kilograms, displayed in 0.005 increments.

Minimum Increment

The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.01 lb. (0.005 kg).

Maximum Static Weight (Overload)

A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by the scale without incurring damage or degrading performance.

Automatic Zero Maintenance

The scale's software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as long as the deviation is within acceptable limits, while compensating for debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push Button at the bottom of the control panel.

Warm-Up Time

Elgin Self Checkout - Warm-Up Time - 1
NOTE

There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanner or scanner/scale:

The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.

Thermal Equilibrium

When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area) to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to calibration or operation.

Power-up

Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.

User Configurable Warm-up

The user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up time that is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time, the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.

Electrical Specifications

Before installation, always verify that the site's electrical service meets the scanner/scale's requirements. The scanner has been engineered for compatibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges from 100 to 240VAC at 50–60 Hz. Verify that the power source will supply "clean" electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of excess electrical noise.

Site Preparation and Installation

This chapter provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive the scanner or scanner/scale. Included are physical parameters and instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit installation.

Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand. The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation on page 21, detail steps for the scanner only and scanner/scale variations that are available (shown in Figure 4) to facilitate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the world.

Once the procedures in this chapter are complete, the scanner is ready for scanning operation ^1 ; with the exception that if a scanner/ scale was installed, calibration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure that all legal requirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Chapter 5, Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating the scale in either pounds or kilograms.

Models

Scanner and scanner/scale models (reference Figure 4) are available in different lengths, allowing them to fit with little or no modification into openings cut for previously installed scanners such as Datalogic™ Magellan™ scanners, or NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models are designed for applications with smaller footprint requirements.

Figure 4 provides simplified illustrations of short, medium and long models. The appearance of your unit may vary. Scanner/scale models also offer an option for a raised Produce Rail, or a flip-up Produce Bar as shown in Figure 6.

Pre-Installation Considerations

It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however, offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines should result in a more efficient, comfortable work environment.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the incidence of repetitive motion injuries has increased dramatically in recent years. Checkstand design and scanner installation and operation procedures can reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.

Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergonomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety (NIOSH) of the Department of Health and Human Services have released the reports listed at the end of these recommendations. These reports contain useful suggestions for ergonomic improvement of checkstand designs and scanner installation, maintenance and usage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of the complete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommendations, contact FMI and NIOSH at the addresses listed at the end of these recommendations.

Checkstand Design

  1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use both hands for scanning and bagging).
  2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart. These designs put less stress on the cashiers' shoulders and back.
  3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away conveyors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the products).
  4. Minimize the width of the input conveyor to reduce the cashier's reach to items on the far side of the belt; use a diverter to direct products closer to the cashier.
  5. Select a design which encourages the cashier to slide products across the scanner rather than gripping and lifting. Make sure the horizontal surface of the scanner is flush with all surrounding surfaces.
  6. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to eliminate extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.
  7. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height 13 - 17 inches (33 - 43.2 cm) lower than the top surface of the check-stand to reduce stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated with lifting products into bags.
  8. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scanner, due to the increased reach involved.
  9. Position the scanner's horizontal scanning surface 34–36" (86.4 – 91.4 cm) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.
  10. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizontal reach).
  11. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devices the cashier uses within easy reach (less than 18 inches/45.7 cm).

  12. Provide adequate toe space, foot rests or rails, antifatigue mats, and where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which the cashiers can lean.

Scanner Installation

  1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the countertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting.
  2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 - 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side).

Scanner Maintenance

  1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and reduce rescans.
  2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.

Scanner Usage

  1. Minimize handling of heavy/bulky products. Leave these items in the cart and use an alternative entry method such as key entry of short PLUs, or handheld scanning.
  2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergonomics principles, such as:

  3. Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work equally between hands.

  4. Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.
  5. Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either of the scanner windows.
  6. Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner's horizontal window with as little orientation motion as necessary.
  7. Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt.
  8. Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is located.
  9. Do not favor either the vertical or horizontal window; slide items across the scanner in their natural orientations on the checkstand as much as possible.

Site Preparation Overview

Consider the following factors before installing the scanner or scanner/scale and its optional Remote Scale Display.

Ventilation Requirements — The scanner operates without the use of a ventilation fan. As long as there is adequate convective air flow and no major heat producing equipment in close proximity, the unit's housing provides adequate heat dissipation. The air temperature in the checkstand around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Service Access Requirements — Routine operations such as ‘zeroing’ and calibration do not require removal of the scanner from the checkstand or disassembly of the product. The installer should plan service access for the AC/DC Power Supply and cables.

Recommended Power Installation — Since the typical grocery environment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken to ensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power without excessive electrical noise).

Counter Preparation — Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this chapter focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two configurations.

Liquid Drainage — Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can flow through the checkstand without pooling.

Leveling — Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand mounts and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or scanner/scale within the counter. Use a 0.375" thick board to replicate the mounting flange on the long scanner or scanner/scale, and adjust screws or bolts until the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0" wide board stood on its end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.

Cable Routing — Placement of the scanner/scale should be planned to allow easy access to other components as well as optimize communication between the scanner, the POS terminal, the optional Remote Scale Display and any EAS peripheral equipment. Do not route interface cables near any electrical motors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

Remote Scale Display Placement — The customer, and checker in some instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Display. Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed later in this chapter.

Vertical Clearance — Provision must be made to allow adequate space above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of an L-shaped platter. Optimal clearance permits the platter to be grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal without obstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclo-

sure). Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical clearance of 1.5" (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 7). Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstructions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.

Figure 7. Vertical Clearance
DO NOT Obstruct L-Platter Removal DO NOT Obstruct Scan Zone (Keyboard Mount) Allow a minimum clearance of 1.5" (3.8cm) (Enclosure)

Ventilation and Spacing

The scanner/scale's perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing apparatus. Figure 8 shows the debris chutes and ventilation slots. The checkstand design must allow:

  • The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the scanner must not exceed 104^ (40°C).
  • A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air flow.

Elgin Self Checkout - Ventilation and Spacing - 1
NOTE

DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed checkstand. Provide a MINIMUM of 16 square inches (103.2 square centimeters) of air intake from below the installation for sufficient convective cooling.

If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installations, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air movement. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may be washed or replaced is recommended.

Figure 8. Debris Chutes & Ventilation Slots
Debris Chutes/Ventilation Slots Spider Assembly (Present only in scale models)

Service Access

The scanner and scanner/scale have been engineered to allow performance of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and calibration) without removing the scanner from the checkstand. Additionally all cable connections made at the scanner can be connected and removed while the unit is sitting on the countertop. The installer should provide service access to all remaining cable connectors as well as the AC/DC Power Supply (if installed).

Power Installation

Plug your scanner into an electrical outlet that has been wired to meet all applicable electrical codes, laws, and regulations and has a common ground with the Point-of-Sale terminal

Grounding

The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise (interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure the input line voltage.

Checkstand Preparation

Reference Figure 9. When performing a first time installation into a new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling, the AC/DC Power Supply, and any EAS peripheral equipment (such as controller boxes, etc.). When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices. Depending upon checkstand design, you may wish to install an item diverter to direct items toward the scan window. See the instructions in this manual titled “Counter Cutout” for more details concerning the location and preparation of the opening.

Figure 9. Installation Overview
Connector Bulkheads Item Diverter AC/DC Power Supply (if used) OPTIONAL: EAS Controller Box

Liquid Spills and Moisture

Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.

Counter Cutout

The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator's comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of items. If you haven't already read the information at the beginning of this chapter titled, Pre-Installation Considerations on page 13, please do so before continuing these instructions.

The symmetrical design of the scanner permits the operator to easily pass items from one hand to the other while scanning (either from right-to-left or left-to-right). With the unique 360-scan zone, scanning is accomplished in one fluid motion. The operator simply slides the item from the conveyor belt or diverter area through the scanning area and passes the item to the other hand, which in turn bags it or places it on a take-away conveyor belt. Movement should flow naturally over the surface of the scanner.

Note that the following guidelines for preparing an existing checkstand to accept a scanner, or incorporating the unit into a new checkstand design will not be accurate for all installations. Although these guidelines will suffice for most standard installations, the installer may need to make adjustments for varying counter heights and thicknesses, support design, or other checkstand limitations.

Figure 10 shows a typical "left-hand-take-away" checkstand design.

Follow these basic steps to install the unit:

  1. Select a position for the scanner that offers a smooth product flow which best accommodates the reaching distance of the average operator.
  2. Cut the opening in the countertop. Reference Table 1 to find the cut-out dimensions for your model. Flange and shelf mount dimensions are provided for your convenience.

  3. Install the AC/DC Power Supply, the Remote Scale Display cable (if Remote Display is used) and the interface cable(s) observing the following:

Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit's power cable if possible.

Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replacement is required. A little planning now will save a lot of frustration later.

  1. Connect and verify all system operations.

The scanner should be installed so that leading and trailing edges of the L-Platter are flush with the countertop to enhance smooth, slide-through scanning (reference the insert in Figure 10). Keep in mind that the debris chutes on both sides of the platter provide the necessary clearance for proper scale operation if you are installing a scanner/scale (you won't need to provide an additional gap for that).

Checkstand Mounting

There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capacity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanner/scale's weight when calculating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.

Elgin Self Checkout - Checkstand Mounting - 1
NOTE

If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75" (1.9 cm) plywood, you'll need to add a backing strip that supports the area routed out for the support flanges (see Figure 9). This support strip should minimally be made of 0.75" (1.9 cm) thick plywood and be approximately 4.0" (10.2 cm) wide and 14.0" (35.6 cm) long. This strip should be glued as well as screwed to the underside of the countertop.

Checkstand Vibration

Proper function of the scanner/scale is dependent upon an installation which minimizes excess vibration from conveyor belts, fans, and other such equipment. See Chapter, if vibration is suspected of causing operational problems.

Installation Overview

The preceding Site Preparation Overview on page 16 dealt with installed location and counter preparations to accommodate the scanner or scanner/scale. Having completed those steps, physical installation of the scanner or scanner/scale can begin. The following instructions apply to all models.

This chapter describes:

  1. Unpacking the unit.
  2. Verifying operation before connecting to a POS system.
  3. Routing and connecting cables.
  4. Validating that your scanner communication parameters match the POS terminal's system requirements.
  5. Confirming connection to the (optional) EAS system.
  6. Functional testing to verify operation when connected to the POS system.

The following text describes each of these steps.

Unpacking

To unpack the unit:

  • Inspect the package for signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is found, report it to your carrier immediately.
  • Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply, optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the Quick Reference Guide.
  • Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with the unit's controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand when the installation is complete.
  • Remove the protective packing and carefully lift the unit from the carton. Be sure to save the box and all packing material. In the event of failure, the unit must be returned to the factory in its original packaging.
  • Carefully lift off the L–Platter as shown in Figure 29 and remove the protective foam pieces securing the weigh mechanism. Set the platter back in place.

Elgin Self Checkout - To unpack the unit: - 1
NOTE

For added protection during shipment, the L-Platter is covered with a tight-fitting layer of vinyl as shown in Figure 21. This vinyl layer MUST BE REMOVED before placing the unit into service.

Figure 21. Remove Protective Vinyl
Protective vinyl MUST be removed from the platter before use.

  • Proceed to Operational Verification below.

Operational Verification

Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to your POS system.

  1. EAS units ONLY: It could be necessary that EAS connections be made previous to power-up. Reference the EAS system manufacturer's instructions for more details.

  2. Scanner/Scale units ONLY: If the unit is a scanner/scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to the proper connector on the unit's connector panel (refer to Figure 25). Note that if the Remote Scale Display is not connected, a scanner power-up Selftest will sound a long, low beep, and the number "8" will appear on the 7-segment display indicating a remote display error. Power-down, connect a known-good Remote Display to the appropriate port, and restart to correct this problem. Alternatively, you can disable the Remote Display using programming bar codes (see Chapter 6, Programming, for more information).

  3. Connect the power cable at the scanner, then at the AC outlet. When power is applied to the unit, the normal indicator sequence is:

Elgin Self Checkout - Operational Verification - 1

NOTE

  • The scanner indicator (top-most, green LED) will be lit (dim) steadily.
  • The 7-segment display will flash the number '8'. indicating initialization.
  • If the Selftest detects a problem, the 7-segment display will display a number code. Refer to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of failure codes and problem isolation procedures.

Scale calibration may be necessary to obtain a zero reading on the display on rare occasions.

  1. The unit should be permitted to reach thermal equilibrium before proceeding to the next steps. (Reference the topic Warm-Up Time on page 8.) When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area) to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), a period of 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions. Once installed and powered up, a “power-up” warm-up period of 15 minutes must be allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations. These two warm-up periods may run concurrently.
  2. Verify that the scanner or scanner/scale passes an operational test by observing the following:

Scanner — Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner's windows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels (see the note that follows). The scanner indicates when each label has been successfully read by flashing the green scanner light and emitting a good read tone (beep). Some host interface types may “chirp” instead of beeping.

Elgin Self Checkout - NOTE - 1

NOTE

When not connected to the host, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels. (This limitation is dependent upon the interface type.) To scan multiple labels without connecting to the host, place the unit in Scanner Diagnostic Mode by pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button for four seconds.

EAS System — The way in which EAS labels are deactivated is dependent upon which aftermarket EAS system was purchased and installed. See the user's manuals and other documentation accompanying that EAS equipment.

Scale — If the Yellow (bottom) LED/Button is not lit, press that button momentarily. If the scale is operating correctly, the yellow LED will illuminate and remain on steady, and the display will show a reading of 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric). If the display is blank or a -0- is displayed, it may be necessary to calibrate the scale before continuing. Refer to Chapter 5, Calibration, for calibration procedures.

Remote Scale Display — Check to verify that 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric) is displayed, then place an item on the weighing platter. Verify that the display shows a weight and that the yellow LED goes out. Remove the item and observe that Remote Scale Display shows 0.00 lb (0.000 kg for metric) and that the yellow LED is On.

  1. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet and disconnect the power cord and Remote Scale Display cable from the scanner's connector panel.

After you have verified that the scanner, EAS system and scale (if present) are completely functional, continue with the following procedures to complete the installation.

Diagnostic Modes

Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner's ability to read bar codes.

Scanner Diagnostic Mode

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host. When the scanner is not connected to a host, it may read and store only up to two labels, then quit reading until power is cycled (clearing the memory). This mode of operation removes this limitation.

To place the scanner in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, press the Volume/Tone (top) Push Button for approximately four seconds. While pressing the button, the scanner will first sound three tones, wait a

few seconds, then sound six rapid tones; after which you should immediately release the button.

While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, identification numbers for interface ^1 type, firmware and configuration will scroll continually across the scanner's 7-segment FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) display. This is useful information for field diagnostics. See Figure 40 for the location of the display. For example, if the dual cable RS-232 interface (type 05) were enabled, the firmware designation was R96-1234, and the configuration was R96-5593, the following would be shown (slowly, with blanking between each of the items):

IF-05 r96-1234 r96-5593.

To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the unit or press and hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner. See Chapter 3, Scanner and Scale Reset for more information about unit resets.

Scale Diagnostic Mode

To enter Scale Diagnostic Mode, press the Scale Zero Push Button for approximately four seconds. Six rapid tones will be sounded, indicating the unit is leaving normal operation and entering Scale Diagnostic Mode. The Remote Display will flash a '1' across the display while the diagnostic routine is being run. When diagnostics are completed successfully, the display will indicate that the unit has passed the diagnostic test by displaying . Next, the display shows a listing of how many times the unit has been calibrated and zeroed in the form of: where x equals the number of times the scale has been calibrated. Next, the unit will display Zero XXX where x is the number of times the scale has been zeroed. Finally, all segments will be displayed in the form of: -18.850/ visual verification of display function.

If the diagnostics routine is not completed successfully, the scanner will sound a series of tones and the Remote Display will show an error code. Turn to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of error codes.

Press the Scale Zero Push Button once more to reset the unit and exit Scale Diagnostic Mode. See Chapter 3, Scanner and Scale Reset for more information about unit resets.

Cables & Connections

Considerations when routing the power and interface cables for the scanner and scanner/scale are:

- Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or pierced. - Do not route interface cables in close proximity to electrical motors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

Do not plug the AC power cord into the outlet at this time. It is a good practice to always connect the power cable to the scanner first before plugging it into the AC receptacle. The procedures titled, Set-Up, provided later in this chapter will instruct you to connect the power cord at that time. Figure 22 illustrates the basic cable routing scheme.

Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation

The modular Remote Display is designed so that single display heads can be stacked to form a dual display as shown in Figure 24a in order to address the specific viewing needs of both the customer and the cashier.

Factors to consider when installing this device are:

• Lighting Considerations on page 37
• Viewing Angle on page 38
• Remote Display Cabling on page 39

Lighting Considerations

The display(s) will be easily readable unless placed in direct sunlight or other very strong light sources. Light interference will not be a factor in most installations. For best viewing, the display head(s) can each be rotated up to 180^ around the post and/or tilted 15^ backward or forward.

Viewing Angle

The optimum display angle is directly facing the viewer. Tilt and rotatioin adjustments can be made as shown in Figure 24b. To ensure that displays are easily readable for customers/cashiers of average height, display heads should be between 48" to 60" (122 to 152 cm) from the floor.

Elgin Self Checkout - Viewing Angle - 1

Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper positioning of scale displays used in retail trade.

Dual Display Heads Single Display Head ab 15° 15° 15° Upward or Downward Tilt 180° Rotation 180° Rotation

Remote Display Cabling

Your installation should also take into account the routing of Remote Display cabling. Ensure that distance and obstacles spanned by the routed cable will not kink, pinch or stretch it. Also keep in mind you may need to drill a hole through which to route it.

Elgin Self Checkout - Remote Display Cabling - 1
NOTE

The Remote Scale Display connector end may be secured with a rubber band during shipping to prevent damage to the "locking tabs" (see Figure 26). After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before connecting. Failure to remove the band will keep the connector from latching properly.

Placing and Installing the Remote Scale Display

Reference Figure 26 while performing these procedures.

  1. Determine where you want to install the Remote Scale Display based on your counter design, the viewing angle, lighting considerations and cable routing discussed previously. Reference Figure 24 for the display's physical dimensions. Optimally, the display(s) should be approximately eye level to the viewer(s).
  2. Use the template provided in Figure 27 to mark locations of the mounting screw and cable routing holes. The mounting screw holes are on 3–1/2" (85.1 mm) centers. The cable can either be routed through a ^3/4 " (19 mm) diameter hole directly under the mounting base or through the cutout in the back of the base (see Figure 26).
  3. Drill the mounting screw holes using a drill bit of the appropriate diameter for your mounting screws or bolts.
  4. Drill the cable routing hole using a ^3/4" (19 mm) drill bit (optional).

  1. Feed the entire length of the Remote Scale Display interface cable through the cable routing hole so that the assembled Remote Scale Display can be positioned over the mounting screw holes.
  2. If present, remove the rubber band from the connector end.
  3. Install mounting screws or bolts to complete the installation of the Remote Scale Display. Take care not to pinch or pierce the interface cable while securing the Remote Scale Display to the checkstand.

Changing Weighing Modes

Your scanner/scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds or kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was specified when you ordered your scanner/scale. If you need to change from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call technical support.

You can verify that the scale is set correctly for your country's requirements by observing that the Remote Scale Display shows the appropriate measurement symbol (lb or kg) when the power-up Selftest is completed.

Elgin Self Checkout - Changing Weighing Modes - 1
NOTE

Any time the scale weighing mode is changed, the scale must be re-calibrated before commercial use.

Set-Up & Installation

These setup and installation procedures assume that you have already prepared your checkstand to receive the scanner or scanner/scale. If you have not already made the counter cutout and routed power and interface cables, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your checkstand has been prepared, proceed as follows:

Set-up

  1. Place the scanner on the checkstand next to the counter cut-out.
  2. Make all connections to peripheral devices, such as the Remote Scale Display (see Figure 26) and, if your installation includes an EAS system, refer to that manufacturer's instructions for connection and start-up procedures.
  3. Route the cables up through the cutout and connect the scanner and scale interface cable(s), EAS cable and Remote Scale Display cable (optional) to the scanner. Some POS terminals require two interface cables; one for the scanner interface and one for the scale interface. Refer to Figure 28 for cable connection locations.

If you have a scanner with no scale, there will be only one interface cable to the POS terminal.

  1. Connect the power cord to the scanner and route the other end down through the checkstand to the AC power outlet. DO NOT plug the power cord in at this time.

Installation

  1. Make sure that all cables are firmly attached (except that the AC/DC power supply should not be connected to the AC outlet yet). Reference Figure 9 and Figure 28.

  2. Remove the platter to gain access to the interior lift handle. Grasp the platter in the positions shown in Figure 29 and gently lift it from the scanner. If the top edge of the platter is blocked, you may find it easier to grasp the platter vertical bezel as shown in Figure 29b.

b (Obstruction) Coin

  1. Rotate the Interior Lift Handle up as shown in Figure 32 and hook the fingers of both hands in the lift handles indicated.

DO NOT attempt to lift the unit using the plastic edges, scale frame, or any features other than the lift handles.

Figure 30. Using the Lift Handles
Interior Lift Handle Rear Lift Handle

  1. Lower the unit into the counter opening, ensuring that none of the cables are pinched, pierced or crimped.

  2. View the bubble level (if present ^1 ) located on the scanner's spider assembly to ensure the scanner is level. As shown in Figure 31, the air bubble should appear fully within the circle indicated. The air bubble can touch the circle, but must not overlap it. Apply shims beneath the scanner bottom or adjust the shelf to allow level installation.

Figure 31. Using the Bubble Level
Models vary and may not contain a bubble level Bubble Level OK OK NO

  1. Re-install the Platter and verify that it is flush or just below flush with the countertop. This is necessary to provide smooth scanning from either direction. Make adjustments as needed to align the platter with the counter by moving support rails up or down, or consider installing screws in positions that will allow their use in adjusting the unit's position. Ensure that leveling is maintained if adjustments are made.

Elgin Self Checkout - Installation - 6

Failure to install a scanner/scale in a stable and level position will inhibit weighing, calibration and zeroing operations. The platter MUST make unobstructed contact with all of its supports for proper weighing operation.

  1. Once installation is complete, proceed with the Operational Verification on page 32 procedures that follow.

Figure 32. Adaptive Scale Platter Option

Some Platters have been shipped with installed spacers on their undersides at all four corners. These specially-configured Platters are provided for customers wishing to add an adaptive scale to their unit at a later date. Until such time as the adaptive scale is installed, the four spacers should be left in place to ensure that the Platter rests evenly at its correct height when positioned on the scanner.

To remove the spacers, loosen and remove the single screw for each as shown in Figure 33.

Figure 33. Removing the Adaptive Scale Spacers

System Power-Up Recap

The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the requirements of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down (switch off) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when connecting any peripheral device. If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system, follow these steps.

  1. Power-down the POS terminal.
  2. Ensure that power is disconnected from the scanner.
  3. Connect the scanner and scale interface cables to your POS terminal. This connection may use one or two cables depending upon your POS terminal interface.
  4. [EAS units ONLY] Connect the EAS interface cable.

Elgin Self Checkout - System Power-Up Recap - 1
NOTE

SENSORMATIC EAS SYSTEMS:

Always Apply power to the EAS Controller box before powering on the scanner.

  1. Connect the Remote Display cable if your model is a scanner/ scale and make any connections to optional equipment, such as a handheld scanner.

  2. Power-up the scanner or scanner/scale by connecting the power cord to an AC power outlet. Wait for the unit to complete the Self test routine (10 seconds maximum). Successful scanner power-up is signified by any or all of the following:

  3. Facet wheel shows movement

  4. Lasers turn on
  5. Status LED(s) turn on
  6. Speaker sounds tone(s)
  7. Remote display [if present] shows message
  8. A single red dot is visible on the 7-segment display

  9. Power-up the POS terminal. Verify that scanning, deactivation and weighing functions are operational and that data is properly communicated between the scanner and your POS system. (Scan, deactivate and weigh a few items.) If problems are encountered, refer to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.

  10. You have now completed installation and system integration of the scanner or scanner/scale. At this point, the scale must be calibrated and certified in accordance with the requirements of your state and/or local requirements. Refer to Chapter 5, Calibration, for calibration procedures.

NOTES

Chapter 3

Operation and Maintenance

The information contained in this chapter describes how to operate and maintain the scanner, and optional scale and EAS systems. Topics include “how to’s” on scanning, EAS label deactivation, weighing, re-zeroing the scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the upper and lower windows.

Scanning Items

Elgin Self Checkout - Scanning Items - 1
NOTE

To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as shown in Figure 34. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is rarely a need to reorient an item's bar code since the scanner has a 360 degree view around an item.

"Limited Scanning Mode" is entered by default by interfaces such as USB and IBM until a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal enables scanning. This mode allows the scanner to read labels without a host interface enabled. The scanner will only process programming labels and emit a bad label read indication ("chirp") for all other labels.

Figure 34. Scan Zone
Note that eyes... ...indicate what the scanner "sees." Vertical Window Scan Zone Horizontal Window Scan Zone Checker Side Scan Zone

Proper Scanning Technique

The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhancements for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these advancements:

Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency:

  • Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 34).
  • Since the scanner can reads labels 360 degrees around the product, don't favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. Keep items in their natural orientation.
  • Remember to slide or push items rather than picking them up. By avoiding any gripping, twisting and rotation of your hands and wrists, you can prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique also relieves you from lifting possibly thousands of pounds per day.
  • Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work equally between hands.
  • Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.
  • Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand movements.
  • Learn typical locations for bar codes on packages; avoid "flipping" or rotating the items during scanning.

- Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is located.

Deactivating Security Labels

EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) labels can be detected and deactivated by a system equipped with this option. This is accomplished by means of a deactivation antenna mounted under the scanner platter. EAS labels should be brought near the antenna to be deactivated. Reference the documentation for the EAS device for more details about its installation and function.

Proper Weighing Technique

  1. The L-shaped All-Weighs™ platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. The “Produce Rail” or (when raised) the “Produce Bar” also provide a convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the counter or other non-weighing surfaces. (Reference Figure 35.)

Elgin Self Checkout - Proper Weighing Technique - 1
NOTE

It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be accurately recorded.

Figure 35. All-Weighs™ Platter & Item Placement
Produce Bar Option All-Weighs® Platter Produce Rail Option

  1. Once weighed items are in place, 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.
  2. Remove the item from the weigh platter.

Operational Controls

The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details.

Operational Modes

The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are important to both the user and the system support personnel. These modes can be combined into three groups: pre-operational, operational, and additional functions. The following text describes these modes, what they mean, and how and when they are seen.

Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation

Pre-Operation describes those steps that must be successfully completed before the scanner sounds the initial good read tone and illuminates the lamps indicating the scanner and/or scale are ready for operation. These steps include Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and Operational Configuration.

Power-Up/Selftest

Power-Up Selftest begins when power is applied. The scanner's software immediately begins the testing sequence to verify that all systems are functioning properly. This routine, which only takes a few seconds, checks all the functions of the scanner, EAS deactivation system, scale, remote scale display and interface prior to indicating that it is ready for operation.

Elgin Self Checkout - Power-Up/Selftest - 1
NOTE

A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See the topic Power-up Beep Control on page 127 in the Programming chapter of this manual.

Error Reporting

If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7-segment display indicating where the failure occurred. These messages are coded to assist the repair technician in identifying the failed component. If an error is indicated, make note of it and contact your supervisor or technical support representative. A table containing descriptions of these error codes is included in Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.

If a non-fatal ^1 error is detected (such as the loss of one of the two lasers), the unit will sound a long, low tone and display a number on the 7-segment display. The unit will advance to Normal Operating Mode, but performance may be affected until a correction or repair is made.

Operational Configuration

Once Selftest diagnostics have been successfully run, a tone is emitted (if configured to do so, and the unit enters an operational configuration state. The scanner or scanner/scale will automatically load your specific interface settings which are required to communicate with the host system. There are two conditions that must be met before the unit can enter Operating Mode:

  • No bar code label can be in the scan volume while the unit is in this state. Progress is halted until the label has been removed, thereby ensuring that no extraneous bar code data is send to the host.
  • If your scanner has a scale, the scale cannot be in motion (usually caused by excessive vibration in the checkstand) for this test to succeed. A “Scale in Motion” status will be indicated by displaying a period and the applicable weight unit (lb or kg) that is selected. kg
  • The scale must be able to "capture" zero weight. The -0 - display will be seen if there is a weight on the platter at power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero Push Button should allow the scale to find zero.
  • When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest successfully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Operating Mode.

  • Scanner behavior under non-fatal error conditions is configurable.

See Chapter 6, Programming for more details.

Operating Mode

Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deactivation and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator.

Normal Operation

This condition is indicated by the scanner green LED being on dim and steady. For scanner/scale models, the scale yellow LED indicates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the platter. If you have a scanner without scale model, the yellow lamp will not be lit when the scanner is ready for scanning.

Elgin Self Checkout - Normal Operation - 1

Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may not be programmed to operate in the standard manner described above.

Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out ^1 ), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to prolong the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.

Sleep Mode

After the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the laser and/or motor automatically turns off (goes to sleep). This state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of the green light (blinking at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhere on the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only), press the Volume Selection switch or wave your hand over the horizontal window. The unit will recognize any of these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal Operation.

Additional Functions

Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and calibrating the scale.

Programming

When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is configured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the bar code symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configuration information for any reason, Chapter 6, Programming, contains special bar code labels for changing the unit's settings.

Diagnostic Mode

Refer to Chapter 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running scanner and scale diagnostics. Turn to Chapter 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of error codes resulting from diagnostics.

Scanner and Scale Reset

The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on. Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit's internal Selftest routine.

Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more information, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation on page 54, earlier in this chapter.

Scale Adjustments

The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first, and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of -0.2 pounds (-0.09kg) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration. While the ‘at rest’ reading remains within the zero range, the scale will automatically adjust itself to true zero. The scale also automatically zeros itself on power-up if the weight present on the scale is within these defined limits.

Zeroing the Scale

The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store personnel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Push Button should return the scale to Normal Operation. If the zero point moves out of the zero range due to debris accumulation or other causes, pressing the Scale Zero Push Button will not reset the zero point. In this case the weigh platter must be cleaned, debris chutes cleared of debris or the scale must be recalibrated.

With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:

  1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the scanner/scale.
  2. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. (See Figure 1).
  3. The Zero ^1 light will turn on and the display will show 0.00 lb (0.000 kg). If it does not, see Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.
  4. You have completed the scale zeroing function.

Calibrating the Scale

The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale is set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 – 30 pounds, and, if your scale is set for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 – 15 kilograms. The scale must be calibrated upon initial installation, whenever the scale cannot be zeroed, when the scale diagnostics indicate a calibration error, when the weighing measure (pounds or kilograms) is changed, or when the scale module has been replaced.

Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be verified and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas of the United States, the scale calibration switch must be sealed before being placed into service. Consult the agency responsible for regulating weighing devices in your area to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regulatory requirements. Chapter 5, Calibration, describes the calibration sequence and verification process.

Calibration can only be performed if the tamper seal that secures access to the Calibration Switch is broken and the switch cover is removed. Breaking the seal may legally render the scale inoperable until it has been recertified and a new seal attached. Consult your local regulations before removing the calibration seal if you are unsure of the legal requirements. Although the scale will physically continue to weigh products, a broken seal may require recertification by a proper authority as designated by your local laws.

Operational Maintenance

The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many years. The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or scanner/scale operating at peak performance.

Cleaning the Platter and Scan Windows. Clean the exterior surfaces of the horizontal and vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and paper towels or lint-free cleaning tissues. The textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also be cleaned using the same cleaning agents.

Cleaning the Air Gap/Debris Chutes & Drip Rail. Daily, clear 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 top cover to clear the debris chutes and drip rail.

Vertical Scan Window Replacement

The Vertical Scan Window is a replaceable part. Follow the instructions below to remove and replace a standard or L-Platter Vertical Scan Window.

Problem Isolation

In the event of a suspected functional problem, use the trouble-shooting references provided in this chapter. This useful information will help you to identify and resolve the cause of the problem.

The scanner/scale has a number of features that indicate when a scanner or scale problem occurs. The unit may:

  • emit a series of tones
  • light the 7-segment (FRU status) display
  • flash one or more LEDs
  • display error codes on the Remote Display (if installed)

Three error reporting modes are used: Power-Up Selftest, Operational tests and Diagnostic tests. These test sequences are explained on the following pages.

Power-Up Selftest

The Power-up Selftest is a pre-operational series of tests that must be successfully completed before the scanner indicates readiness for operation. This pre-operational period is the time between power-up and normal operation during which the motor comes up-to-speed and software, firmware and hardware are being tested. These tests ensure that all subsystems are fully functional before turning on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD). Refer to Chapter 3, Operational Modes for a more detailed description of this and other scanner and scale modes.

Operational Tests

These are the tests that run continually during Normal Operation and Sleep Mode. Firmware checks all subsystems, accessory connections and the POS interface to verify everything is operating normally. If a problem is detected at any time, a long, low tone is

sounded, an error code is shown on the 7-segment display, and operation may be halted. If you press the Volume/Tone Push Button at that time, a series of tones will be sounded that matches the error code displayed.

Diagnostic Tests

See Chapter 2, Diagnostic Modes, for details about running diagnostic tests for the scanner and/or scale. If a problem is discovered during diagnostics, the scanner will provide feedback about the source of the problem. The remainder of this chapter describes these failure indications and includes troubleshooting flowcharts to help isolate the problem.

Diagnostic Procedures

Your Point-Of-Sale (POS) system may contain many components that operate as a system. Since almost all scanner or scale problems are caused by either the scanner, scale, POS terminal or communication links between them, these troubleshooting flowcharts focus on these components. Additionally, the optional Remote Scale Display, AC/DC Power Supply and their cables are potential problems addressed in this chapter.

The flowcharts provided in this chapter walk you through a diagnostic process that will isolate the failed component and instruct as to the corrective action required. Since internal scanner and scale components cannot be replaced by an operator or installer, most functional errors will require the assistance of a trained technical support person. However, if the problem is caused by faulty cable, power supply or remote display, you can fix the problem by replacing the defective component and complete the installation.

Error Codes

If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for one second) and alternately flash its LEDs, indicating a failure. Following the long low tone, an error code will appear on the 7-segment display (refer to Figure 40). Pressing the Volume/Tone Push button will cause the scanner to sound a series of beeps corresponding to that error code. Table 2 on the following page describes what these codes mean and what action should be taken for each.

When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections first before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.

a. If only one laser is non-functional, the scanner may continue to work (this is a configurable feature); however, the 7-segment display will show the error code indicating the failed laser. If both lasers have failed, the 7-segment display will display either a 4 or a 5, and the scanner will cease to function until serviced. No alternate blinking of lamps will occur if only one laser has failed.

NOTES

Chapter 5 Calibration

A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:

  • at initial installation of the scanner/scale
  • if the scale cannot be re-zeroed
  • if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa
  • if diagnostics indicate a calibration error
  • the weigh module has been replaced

Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.

Certification of the scanner/scale's weighing apparatus is subject to Federal, State and Local Weights and Measures statutes and is restricted to authorized government agencies and/or duly registered agents thereof. Anytime a scale is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a lead and wire or paper seal before being placed into service.

It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate authorities in your area to ensure compliance with pertinent regulations before removing any official seals or placing a newly calibrated scanner/ scale into service.

Description of Calibration Sequence

The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set (31.5–pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5–kilograms) for Metric. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities.

These verification procedures follow the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology 44 Handbook guidelines for bench/counter scale installations.

If any of these tests fail to meet the required weight indications, you must calibrate the scanner/scale. Refer to the calibration procedures in this chapter for the proper procedures.

You may be required by state and/or local regulations to have procedures other than these performed by a certified technician or verification official.

Access to the calibration switch should be restricted with a paper or a wire and lead seal after the calibration has been performed if required by your local regulatory agency.

Elgin Self Checkout - Description of Calibration Sequence - 1
NOTE

The Calibration Sequence must be performed without removing the scanner/scale from its installed position.

The following tools and supplies will be required to perform the calibration process:

- 31.5 pound Field Standard Weight Set ^1 . (English calibration only).

- 18.5 kilogram Field Standard Weight Set ^2 . (Metric calibration only).

- Lead/Wire or Paper Seal (as required by law).

  1. Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set. eg. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two 5.00 lb. weights.

  2. Throughout the calibration procedures, specific weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set. eg. 10 kgs. may be made up of one 5.00 kg. and five 1.00 kg. weights.

Motion Test

This test verifies that the scale will not ‘zero’ when the weighing surface of the scanner/scale is in motion.

  1. Verify that the Yellow LED ^1 is on and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
  2. Press lightly on the weigh platter of the scanner/scale with one hand and at the same time press and release the Zero Push Button on the operator's panel. The Yellow LED should turn Off and the Remote Display should not display 0.00 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
  3. Remove your hand from the weighing platform and verify that the Yellow LED is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.

Automatic Zero Tracking Test

This test verifies that the scanner/scale automatic zero tracking mechanism is operating correctly.

  1. Place 0.006 pounds (3 grams for metric) on the center of the weighing platform. The entire weight must be placed on the weighing platform at once for this test to be valid. The Yellow LED should go Off and the Remote Display should read 0.01 pounds (0.005 kilograms).

Elgin Self Checkout - Automatic Zero Tracking Test - 1
NOTE

The scanner/scale has an adaptive zero capture mechanism that re-zeros the scale over time if there is a slow change in the zero level; thus if all the weight is not placed on the weighing surface at one time, the Yellow LED will remain On and the Remote Display will read 0.00 pounds (0.000 kilograms). When the weight is removed, the Yellow LED will turn off and the display will show a minus sign. Press the Zero Push Button to re-zero the scale.

Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration

  1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable, secure and properly installed. (Refer to Chapter 2, Site Preparation and Installation, for instructions on the proper installation of the scanner/ scale).
  2. Power-up the scanner/scale.
  3. Allow the unit to reach temperature equilibrium for at least one hour. If the scanner/scale is already at room temperature, allow at least 15 minutes for acclimatization.
  4. Remove all weight from the weighing surface and ensure that there are no obstructions in the debris chutes of the scanner/ scale. See Figure 8.

Elgin Self Checkout - Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration - 1
NOTE

Do not pay attention to any message on the POS display.

Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)

  1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been prepared for this process by performing the preceding steps titled, Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration on page 84.
  2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are no obstructions in the debris chutes.
  3. Cut and remove the seal that secures the calibration switch access cover as shown in Figure 48. The seal may not be present if this is the initial installation of the scanner/scale.

Figure 48. Calibration Switch Access
Spider Calibration Switch

  1. Press and release the Calibration Switch to place the scanner/ scale in Calibration Mode. (The scanner/scale will sound a a series of rapid beeps indicating it is in Calibration Mode.) If the motor was spinning when you initiated Calibration Mode, the motor will stop and the Yellow LED will begin flashing indicating the scale is in Calibration Mode. The Remote Display (if one is present) will show the message "ESCL" (empty scale).

  2. Reinstall the weigh platter.

  3. Press the Zero Push Button. The Yellow LED will go out for approximately 10 seconds (or less). If one is present, the

Remote Display will alternately display and --

- - - - until the scale is ready to proceed.

  1. When the scale is ready, the Yellow LED will begin blinking again. The Remote Display (if one is present) will show the message "Ad20 (add twenty pounds)" or "Ad10 (add ten kilograms)." (The scanner/scale will also sound one tone if the scale is weighing in kilograms or two tones for pounds.) Place the correct weight (twenty pounds for calibration in pounds, or ten kilograms for metric calibration) from the Field Standard Weight set on the center of the weighing area and press the Zero Push Button again.

  2. The Yellow LED will extinguish for approximately 10 seconds and, if one is present, the Remote Display will alternately display and until the scale is ready to proceed.

  3. If the calibration was successful, (the speaker sounds a single tone), the Scale Status LED begins blinking again, and 'End-' appears in the Remote Display (if one is present).

  4. If the calibration was not successful, the speaker will sound five tones indicating a scale failure, and the Scale Status LED will blink twice, strobe (fast blinks) and then continually repeat this sequence until reset. Remove all weight from the Weigh Platter, and repeat the procedure starting with step 7.

  5. Press the Zero Push Button again to permanently store the calibration data and exit Calibration Mode. You have completed the calibration of the scanner/scale. The unit's calibration must now be verified as required by state and/or local weights and measures regulations. The verification procedure must be performed to assure that a scale will pass Weights and Measures requirements before it is placed into commercial/retail service.

You have completed the scale calibration procedure. You must now continue with the calibration verification tests to complete the scale's calibration. If you are weighing in pounds, continue with the following procedures to verify that the scale was successfully calibrated and that it weighs properly. If you are weighing in kilograms, turn to the instructions titled, Calibration Verification (Kilograms) on page 91, later in this chapter.

Calibration Verification (U.S. Pounds)

Once you have completed the calibration sequence, you may be required to perform these step-by-step verification procedures. These procedures follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook-44 guidelines for grocery scale installations. You may be required by state or local law to have these procedures performed by a certified technician or verified by a proper official.

These calibration verification procedures cover five different tests:

  • Increasing-Load Test
  • Shift Test
  • Blanking Test
  • Decreasing-Load Test
  • Return to Zero Test

Increasing-Load Test (Phase 1)

This test checks Scale operation with five, ten and fifteen pound weights.

  1. Check that the display reads 0.00 lb. when at rest with nothing on the weighing surface. (The Yellow LED is steadily lit).
  2. Place a five-pound weight on the center of the weighing surface and check that the display reads 5.00 lb.
  3. Place an additional five pounds on the center of the weighing surface and check that the display reads between 9.99 and 10.01 lb.
  4. Place an additional five pounds on the center of the weighing surface and check that the display reads between 14.99 and 15.01. Remove the weights and verify that the display reads 0.00.
  5. You have completed the Increasing-Load Test (Phase 1).

Shift Test

The Shift Test checks to ensure that items placed anywhere on the weighing surface of the scanner/scale are weighed properly. Refer to Figure 49 when performing this test.

  1. Place and remove in succession, a ten-pound load on the center of each of the four quadrants (1, 2, 3, and 4 in Figure 5-2) of the scanner/scale's weigh platter. Verify that a reading of between 9.99 and 10.01 lb registers under load and that the display returns to 0.00 between each load.

  2. After verifying the accuracy of each quadrant of the weighing surface, remove all weight from the scale. You have completed the Shift Test.

Figure 49. Shift Test
Diagram of a microwave oven with numbered components and a close-up view of the internal structure with four labeled parts.

Increasing- Load Test (Phase 2)

After completing the Shift Test, you must complete the Increasing Load Test using 20.0, 25.0 and 30.0 pounds of weight.

Elgin Self Checkout - Increasing- Load Test (Phase 2) - 1
NOTE

The upper limit of the scale is configurable according to POS interface type and may not necessarily be set at 30 pounds, which is the standard setting. For this test, continue to place weights in five pound increments only up to the upper weight limit set for your scale.

  1. With the scale starting at zero, place 20.0 pounds in the center of the weighing surface and check that the display reads between 19.99 and 20.01 lb.
  2. Place an additional five pounds in the center of the weighing surface, increasing the load to 25.0 pounds and check that the display reads between 24.99 and 25.01 lb.
  3. Place an additional five pounds in the center of the weighing surface increasing the load to 30.0 pounds and check that the display reads between 29.99 and 30.01 lb.
  4. Remove the weights and verify that the display reads 0.00.

Blanking Test

This test ensures that the scanner/scale will indicate its weighing capability has been exceeded if a weight greater than 0.05 pounds over its maximum upper weight limit is placed upon the unit.

  1. Place weights that total the upper weight limit plus 0.051 pounds on the scale. For example: If the upper limit is set at 30 pounds, place weights equaling 30.051 pounds.
  2. Verify that the display shows a dash and three hyphens (_ -- - ). This is the overweight indication.

Elgin Self Checkout - Blanking Test - 1
NOTE

The scanner/scale may blank (show an underscore and three hyphens) at any weight greater than its upper limit, but must blank when the upper limit plus 0.051 pounds are set upon the weighing surface.

Decreasing-Load Test

This test ensures that the scanner/scale responds properly when a heavy object is followed by a significantly smaller object.

  1. Place a 30.0-pound load on the scale and verify that the display shows between 29.99 and 30.01 pounds.

Elgin Self Checkout - Decreasing-Load Test - 1

If the upper weight limit for your scale is not set at 30 pounds, begin by placing weight equaling your upper limit setting.

  1. Remove weights to leave 20 pounds on the scale. Check that the display shows between 19.99 and 20.01.

  2. Remove another 15.0 pounds from the scale and check that the scale reads 5.00 lb.

  3. You have completed the Decreasing Load Test.

Return to Zero Test

This test ensures that, after all other tests have been completed successfully, the scanner/scale returns to zero. Remove all weights from the scale and verify that the scale reads 0.00 lb.

After completing this test, close the calibration access cover and seal per local Weights and Measures requirements. This final step must agree with the legal requirements of your state or local government.

You have completed the calibration and verification process for weighing in pounds.

If the scanner/scale passes all these tests,

  1. Remove the weigh platter, install the calibration switch cover and install a seal (if required).
  2. Reinstall the weigh platter.

If the scanner/scale fails any of these tests, it should be serviced by a qualified technician.

Calibration Verification (Kilograms)

Once you have completed the calibration sequence, you may be required to perform these step-by-step verification procedures. These procedures follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook-44 guidelines for grocery scale installations. You may be required by state or local law to have these procedures performed by a certified technician or verified by a proper official.

These calibration verification procedures cover five different tests:

  • Increasing-Load Test
  • Shift Test
  • Blanking Test
  • Decreasing-Load Test
  • Return to Zero Test

Increasing-Load Test (Phase 1)

This test checks Scale operation for increasing loads from 0.100 kg and 7.50 kg.

  1. Check that the display reads 0.000 kg when at rest with nothing on the weighing surface. (The Yellow LED is steadily lit).
  2. Place a 100 gram weight on the center of the weighing surface and check that the display reads 0.100 kg.

Programming

Introduction to Label Programming

The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow you to customize and configure features and settings for your scanner (scanner/scale). To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming bar codes in this manual and other product-specific publications to program scanner features.

This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of all levels to find the information needed to understand and configure features. The following descriptions will help you to determine where to go from here.

Understanding the Basics

If you have little or no prior experience with programming using bar code labels, you should review the first few pages of this chapter to familiarize yourself with the basics of scanner programming before performing any changes to your configuration.

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System

Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Contact your dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner's hardware compatibility.

You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the factory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for specific interface types (see Appendix F, Factory

Defaults, for more information); however, your scanner may have been custom configured with settings that are unique to your company or application.

Once you know the scanner's current settings, you can determine what changes will be required to allow communication with your host system and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installation. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this chapter, then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program the scanner.

When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scanner is ready to be placed into operation.

Customizing Your Scanner's Operation

Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:

  • General Scanner Features on page 106 — are features common to all interface types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as volume and length, read verification settings, etc.
  • EAS Features on page 146 — control the settings for interfacing with the [optional] EAS device.
  • Interface Related Features on page 148 — are the mandatory settings necessary to allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of these settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.

Elgin Self Checkout - Customizing Your Scanner's Operation - 1
CAUTION

It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the interface type (for example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.

Elgin Self Checkout - Customizing Your Scanner's Operation - 2

Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the current interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface group.

- Symbology Programming on page 253 — gives the scanner the capability to autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbologies. For optimal scanner performance enable only those symbologies required. Additionally the scanner may be programmed with the standard options available for the various symbologies, such as check digit, minimum label length, fixed and variable length bar codes, etc. If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales representative.

Programming Overview

The scanner's programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system's unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of three ways:

  1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available. Refer to Appendix D for more details or contact Tech Support.
  2. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scanner's programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner's features and options.

Elgin Self Checkout - Programming Overview - 1
NOTE

When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scanner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.

Programming via Handheld Device

The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes presented in this manual. Datalogic models QuickScan ^® 1000 and QuickScan ^® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix G of this manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Auxiliary Port Mode on page 118, must be set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation.

What Is Programming Mode?

Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming bar code labels.

When programming using the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically placed in Programming Mode by scanning the SWITCH label.

While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes ONLY the special programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See Appendix A for information about scanner indications while in Programming Mode.

Entering and Exiting Programming Mode.

Use the bar code label below to enter and exit ('switch' into and out of) Programming Mode.

SWITCH LABEL

Programming Session

A typical programming session is conducted as follows:

  1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to place the scanner in Programming Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the scanner (top) green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.
  2. Scan the programming bar code(s) that is (are) specially encoded to make the desired changes. With few exceptions ^1 , the scanner will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming bar code.

Elgin Self Checkout - Programming Session - 1
NOTE
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for features invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface will be implemented.

Elgin Self Checkout - Programming Session - 2
NOTE

If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner's interface, all previous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.

Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scanning the SWITCH bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar codes scanned during the session will take effect.

Elgin Self Checkout - Programming Session - 3
NOTE

It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one feature at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session.

  1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to save any new settings and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset upon exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return to its usual state (on steady or off).

The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following conditions:

— the programming sequence has been completed or the SWITCH bar code is scanned
— five minutes have passed without scanning activity. Any data programmed during the current session will be ignored ^1 , and the scanner will reset and revert to its condition previous to initiating the exited session.
— power is disconnected. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the SWITCH bar code, will cause all new settings to be ignored. On power-up, the scanner will return to previous settings.

  1. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know if the original factory settings have been changed.

  2. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scanner will operate on the default settings for the new interface.

Programming Sequence

To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 3). There are three possible programming sequences:

Elgin Self Checkout - Programming Sequence - 1
NOTE

If the scanner's interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to the factory default for that interface type.)

A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demonstrates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the following:

  1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar code).

  2. Scan the Item Tag ^1 that will enable the new feature.

  3. End the programming session and reset the scanner (SWITCH bar code).

B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requiring the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag ^1 is scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming session. In the example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in Appendix C. This type of format, requiring several bar codes, is necessary to allow flexible programming for item values with larger numeric ranges.

C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scanning of a single, extended length bar code. This special programming bar code contains all the data necessary to enter Programming Mode, set the Item Tag ^1 and Item Value, and exit Programming Mode (all in one step).

  1. An 'Item Tag" is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.

LED and Beeper Indicators

The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify/announce the various scanner functions.

If You Make a Mistake...

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's settings or wish to reset the scanner's configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.

Return to Factory Settings

Scan this bar code to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for the currently active interface. This bar code is typically used to return the scanner to a "known" operating state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.

Elgin Self Checkout - Return to Factory Settings - 1

Elgin Self Checkout - Return to Factory Settings - 2

Use this bar code with caution, since it will reset ALL features that may have been programmed since the scanner's installation.

DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning this bar code, as the bar code below automatically enters and exits Programming Mode as a part of its function. If this bar code is scanned following a SWITCH bar code, it will simply cause the scanner to exit Programming Mode without making changes.

RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS

Test Mode

Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal.

To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DISABLE on page 105 bar code below.

To set the good read beep length:

  1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
  2. Scan the bar code, SET GOOD READ BEEP LENGTH on page 131. You'll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

  3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that represent the desired good read beep length setting. The selectable range is 1–255, which is the timeout in 10-millisecond increments. Pad all single and double digit numbers with leading zeroes to yield a three-digit entry (001–255).

Examples:

$$ \begin{array}{l} 0 0 1 = 1 0 \mathrm{ms} \ 0 0 5 = 5 0 \mathrm{ms} \ 0 4 0 = 4 0 0 \mathrm{ms} \ 2 5 0 = 2, 5 0 0 \mathrm{ms} (2. 5 \text { seconds }) \ \end{array} $$

Label ID Control

Elgin Self Checkout - Label ID Control - 1

A Label ID is used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. See Appendix D, Default Settings, for a listing for common symbologies. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode 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 previous feature, AIM ID.

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.

Label IDs cannot be modified when using the OEM-USB interface.

To configure a Label ID:

  1. Scan the START barcode.
  2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate barcode.
  3. 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, the default Label ID for Code 39 for the Single Cable RS-232 interface is 'B' '1'. To change it to 'R' '4', the following should be performed:
  4. Scan the Switch label
  5. Scan the 'Set Code 39 Label ID' label
  6. Scan '5'
  7. Scan '2'
  8. Scan '3'

Global Prefix

This feature specifies the prefix that is added to beginning of label transmission.

To specify the Global Prefix Character(s):

  1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
  2. Scan the bar code, SET GLOBAL PREFIX on page 176 below. You'll need to cover any unused bar codes to ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
  3. Scan the appropriate characters/digits from the keypad in Appendix C that represent the hex designation for the desired character(s). A table containing the ASCII Character Set on page 1 and their corresponding Hex Values is available in the inside back cover of this manual.

Calibration Switch

This switch initiates the scale's calibration routine. A certified weight set is needed to perform the scale calibration steps detailed in Chapter 5, Calibration. This switch is not included in scanners without scale modules.

Calibration Switch Seal

This seal allows you to secure the Calibration Switch access cover and restrict access to the Calibration Switch. If the calibration seal is broken or missing, you may be prohibited from operating the scale without recertification. Check local and state requirements for specific restrictions.

Calibration Switch

A cover restricts access to the Calibration Switch to help guard against unauthorized tampering when sealed. The Calibration Switch is located just beneath the Spider in the location indicated in Figure 54.

There are regulations that must be followed in order to ensure compliance when operating a weighing device such as the scanner/scale. Failure to observe and comply with these regulations could result in legal action.

Appendix G

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 deasserted after label transmission is complete. No other flow control mechanisms are required or supported. The deassertion of the RTS signal must occur no later than 50 milliseconds from the complete transmission of the last character of the transmitted data.
  • The time between character transmission can be no longer than 50 milliseconds.
  • Symbologies requiring fixed lengths (UPC/EAN) will enforce length requirements for validation of the label.
  • Handheld scanner 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.

AIM Formats

AIM specifies a 3-character string that is attached as a prefix to the label data for transmission. Because AIM specifies one identifier for UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 labels, UPC-A, UPC-E and EAN-13 will be received from the handheld and transmitted to the POS by the scanner as EAN-13. Using this form of identification, the ''] character must be the first character in the label received from the handheld. Further identification of the label is specified in the section below. The AIM identifiers on the received label may or may not be transmitted to the POS and are controlled according to the data formatting settings of the scanner.

The following sections describe the prefix strings and identify what specific label characteristics can be supported.

If a label does not have one of the AIM identifiers specified below and the first three characters of the label data fit the following qualifications:

  • the first character is a ']'
  • the second character is a capital letter or a small letter
    • the third character is a digit

...then the label is transmitted to the host with the AIM identifier still appended to the beginning of the label data.

UPC-A

  • AIM does not specify UPC-A as a separate symbology using this transmission format – labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.
    • Example: 'E00060992011187'.

UPC-E

  • AIM does not specify UPC-E as a separate symbology using this transmission format – labels will be transmitted as EAN-13.
    • Example: 'E00000000998875'.

EAN-13

  • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
  • Prefix must be ASCII characters 'E0'– total length including prefix must be 16.
    • Example: 'E01101234567891'.

EAN-8

  • Check digit must be included in label data and is assumed to be correct.
  • Prefix must be ASCII characters 'E4' – total length including prefix must be 11.
    • Example: 'E400210126'.

2-Digit Supplemental

  • Supplemental data is appended to any EAN base label.
  • Prefix must be ASCII characters 'E1'.
  • length of Supplemental data including prefix must be 5. Total required length is 21 for EAN-13 and 16 for EAN-8.
  • Prefix for the main body portion of the label for UPCA/UPCE/EAN13 can be ]E0 or ]E3.
  • If the main body prefix for UPCA/UPCE/EAN13 is ]E0, then the 2-digit addon portion of the label must have a prefix of ]E1.

Examples: addon portion is highlighted data is underlined.
