Installation
Route the interface cable from the terminal or host. Plug the AC
adapter (if one is used) into a wall outlet and the interface (I/F)
cable, then route and attach the I/F cable to the scanner. Verify
operation by presenting known-good bar codes to the scanner.
The unit should beep1and/or flash its good read LED and send
the bar code data to the host or terminal. If not, refer to the Trou-
bleshooting section of this guide.
Scanner installation is complete.
The Magellan 1500i uses intelligent illumination technology to
optimize light levels for a variety of bar code scanner functions
including automatic reading of bar codes from printed surfaces,
mobile devices and image capture in variable contrast environ-
ments.
Optional Stand/Riser
An optional stand / riser is available for the scanner. The stand
and riser have anti-skid pads on the bottom and can rest on any
desired horizontal surface or countertop. The scanner (along with
the stand/riser) can be easily repositioned on the counter or
lifted for portable use.

Removing the Stand/Bottom Cover
1. Unplug the Power Interface Cable by inserting a paper clip or
similar object into the latch release hole as shown in
Figure 2 on page 2.
2. After removing the Interface Cable, pull the bottom of the
Stand forward (in the direction of the Front Window) to
detach it from the unit. It will snap free easily if oriented cor-
rectly.
Magnetic Base Mounting
The magnetic swivel base can be used to semi-permanently
attach a scanner to a flat surface (vertical or horizontal), using
the provided adhesive or screw. Both the stand and riser options
mount onto the magnetic swivel base and are held magnetically
in place. The scanner can easily be rotated to a desired orienta-
tion. The scanner (along with the riser or stand) can be detached
for portable use by lifting the entire unit as shown in Figure 4 on
page 5.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the Stand without first
unplugging the Cable as described. Doing so may result
in damage to the scanner.

How to Scan
Bar codes can be presented to the scanner while it is resting on
the counter or in the optional stand, or the scanner can be picked
up for targeted scanning.
Figure 4. Scanning Methods
Handheld Scanning Mode
To read a barcode using Handheld Scanning Mode:
1. Pick up the scanner- the aimer LED will illuminate automat-
ically.
2. With the aimer over the barcode to be read, press and
release the button.
Upon a successful read, the button will blink bright green and the
GreenSpot™ will illuminate, highlighting the decoded barcode.

The configurable Center Zone can be set to limit the scan area to
allow Targeted Scanning of pick lists or other special items. Bar
codes will read in any orientation. The scanner will return to full
pattern Presentation Mode when set back down, after a configu-
rable time has elapsed.
Scanner Button
The Scanner Button performs multiple functions, depending on
how long it is pressed:

done, the beeper will sound at
one of three tones. Stop when
the desired tone (high,
medium or low) is sounded.
4 Seconds Scanner Diagnostics

This mode allows system
support personnel to trouble-
shoot problems with the
scanner and is used to deter-
mine if it can read bar codes.
Press the button for 8 sec-
onds or cycle power to exit

and reset the scanner.
10 Seconds Resets ScannerbOnly system support person-
nel should perform a reset.
a. By standard default, this function is normally disabled to prevent accidental
activation by users.
b. Users should not perform scanner resets except under the direction of trained
systems support personnel.
NOTE
Volume changes made using the Scanner Button are lost
when the scanner is powered down and are reset to the
configured setting. If you wish to permanently change
the volume, use the special programming labels in the
Product Reference Guide.

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to
indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables
that follow list these indications. An exception is that the scan-
ner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned
on. For example, some indications (such as the power-up beep)
can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

Programming
On leaving the factory, units are generally programmed with the
most common terminal and communications settings. If you
need to change these settings, custom programming can be
accomplished using one of several methods.
This manual offers programming barcodes for common func-
tions. Additional programming barcodes are available in the PRG,
or use software utilities such as Datalogic Scanalyzer or Data-
logic Aladdin, all available on the Datalogic website.
Service Port Mode
To program the Magellan 1500i using Scanalyzer or Aladdin, the
unit must first be placed into Service Port mode, as follows:
1. Unplug the unit if needed.
2. While Holding down the Scan Button on the top of the unit,
plug the scanner in.
3. The scanner will enter Service Port Mode, enabling it to be
programmed via software utilities.
Using Barcodes
After completing the physical connection between the scanner
and its host, go to the Programming Bar Codes table on the fol-
lowing pages to locate the interface type for your scanner (such
as RS-232, USB, etc.).
Scan a START/END bar code once to enter Programming Mode.
After scanning the programming label for the desired interface,
scan the START/END barcode a second time to accept your
changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to nor-
mal operation.
NOTE
It is not necessary to place the scanner into Service Port
Mode to program with barcode labels.

Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not operating properly, the following checks
should be performed:
If the scanner still does not function properly, consult the Product Refer-
ence Guide (PRG) or contact your local supplier or Datalogic Customer
Support Services
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Scanner does not
power on
Exchange the power supply with a known good
power supply and retest operation.
If an RS-232 cable is used on a scanner config-
ured for USB, powerup will not occur because
the scanner will be waiting for enumeration
from the host.
As a workaround, hold the scanner’s button
down, then apply power. Release the button
when the green light comes on. The scanner
will power up with limited scanning, which will
allow you to scan programming labels to
reconfigure the scanner to the desired inter-
face.
No communication
with the host
Verify the interface cable is securely attached
to the host and the scanner. Consult your
technical support personnel or refer to your
host system manual to verify the proper inter-
face type, cable and connection port(s) for the
scanner.
The scanner will not
read bar codes at all, or
reads poorly
Check that the bar codes are of sufficient qual-
ity to be recognized by the scanner. Wrinkled,
smudged, or torn labels can cause the scanner
to not read at all. Scan known-good labels of
an active symbologyato check the scanner's
read operation.
Make sure the window is clean.
a. Reading of the various bar code symbologies can be independently enabled or
disabled in the scanner.

16 Magellan™ 1500i
Error Codes
If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for
three seconds) and flash its LED, indicating a failure. When this
occurs, press the Scanner button to hear the error code. If it is
configured to do so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps cor-
responding to the error code and/or flash its LED simultaneous
to the beeps. The table below describes what these codes mean
and what action should be taken for each.
