    Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family Model 8502 Model 8500 Model 8501 0.00 Model 8505 Model 8503 Model 8504 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.

  • Page 33: Checkstand Design

    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’...

  • Page 34: Scanner Installation

    Scanner Installation 1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the coun- tertop 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.

  • Page 35: Site Preparation Overview

    Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a barcode toward either of the scanner windows. 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 neces- sary.
  • Page 36 Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section 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.

Vertical Clearance DO NOT DO NOT Obstruct Obstruct L-Platter Scan Zone Removal (Keyboard Mount) Allow a minimum clearance of 1.5" (3.8cm) (Enclosure) Ventilation and Spacing The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade- quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing apparatus.

  • Page 38: Service Access

    Figure 2-3. Debris Chutes & Ventilation Slots (Models vary) Debris Chutes/Ventilation Slots Service Access The scanner and scanning-scale have been engineered to allow perfor- mance of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and cali- bration) 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.

  • Page 39: Power Installation

    Power Installation Reference the wiring diagram in for the recommended fusing Figure 2-4 arrangement. 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.

  • Page 40: Checkstand Preparation

    Checkstand Preparation Reference . When performing a first time installation into a new Figure 2-5 checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installa- tion of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices.

  • Page 41: Liquid Spills And Moisture

    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.
  • Page 42 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 replace- ment is required.

  • Page 48: Checkstand Mounting

    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 capac- ity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when cal- culating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.

  • Page 49: Unpacking

    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.

  • Page 50: Operational Verification

    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. If the unit is a scanning-scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to ).

Verify that the scanner or scanning-scale passes an operational test by observing the following: Scanner. Pass UPC/EAN barcode labels in front of the scanner’s win- dows.
  • Page 52 needing to scan an item’s barcode. Pass an active EAS tag over the scanner in the same direction you would scan a barcode. The bot- tom-most LED will flash red, then orange, then return to green. The beeper may be configured to sound a high frequency beep to announce successful deactivation.

  • Page 53: Diagnostic Modes

    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 barcodes. Scanner Diagnostic Mode While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of barcodes while troubleshooting problems.

    What Is Programming Mode? Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming barcode labels. When pro- gramming using the barcode 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 the special programming barcodes contained in this programming guide.

  • Page 119: Programming Session

    Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: 1. Scan the SWITCH barcode 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 barcode and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode.
  • Page 120 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 fea- tures are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to deter- mine which features may or may not have been successfully set following NOTE such a session.

    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 by the scanner as EAN-13. The ']' character must be the first character received in the label transmission from the handheld.
