NOTES

Quick Reference Guide 1
Introduction
This manual provides user reference information for the following Magellan™ multi-
plane imaging scanners and scanner-scales: Model 939401, Model 939403, Model
939404, Model 939405, and Model 939406.
With digital imagers in all planes, the 9300i/9400i scanner is capable of reading both 1D
and 2D bar codes seamlessly without requiring item orientation by the cashier. This
manual describes basic operation. For more detailed information about setup, installa-
tion and programming, see the Product Reference Guide for this product. These manuals
are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) for viewing and printing from the web-
site listed on the back cover of this manual. Additionally, printed manuals can be
ordered from your dealer/distributor.
Operation
CAUTION
If applicable, apply power to the EAS Controller box before powering on
the scanner.

Certification Label
At the time the local scale regulatory authority certifies the scanner/scale for use, a cer-
tification label is affixed to the unit. Depending upon the size and shape of the label,
placement can be made in one of the locations shown in Figure 1.

Scanning Items
Quick Reference Guide 3
Scanning Items
Slide or push items through the scan zone in a right-to-left or left-to-right movement.
The scanner is equally efficient at scanning items in either direction. It is unnecessary to
shift the position of the bar code, as the scanner can ”read” it from the bottom, left,
right, front and back side of an item, as long as it is fully within the scan zone.

For best scanning results...
•Keep items in their natural orientation. Don’t favor any of the scan win-
dows.
•Use the arrow guides to (#6 in Figure 2) to center items over the horizontal
window.
• Push or slide items instead of lifting them. Avoid unnecessary hand and
wrist movements such as rotation, gripping or twisting, as this can cause
repetitive motion injuries. This helpful technique can also allay the possibil-
ity of lifting thousands of pounds per day
NOTE
If a POS terminal holds the scanner in a disabled state, the scanner
enters limited scanning mode which allows reading of programming
labels but ‘chirps’ other labels.
The all-inclusive scan pattern and advanced FirstStrike™ decoding software ensures the
scanner will read most hard-to-read codes quickly and without a need to particularly
reorient items.

Weighing Items (Scale Models)
The unique platter design allows you to place items anywhere on its surface, including
leaning atop its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. In addition, the Produce Rail
TM
allows items to rest above the counter and other non-weighing surfaces. See Figure 3.
Once weighed items have been positioned, 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.
Figure 3. Weighing Items
Scale SentryTM Option
The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to detect and indi-
cate if they are overhanging non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s infrared (IR) beams
sense items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter at counter level or on the
surface of the weigh platter, the speaker will sound a unique tone and/or the ScaleSentry
LED indicator will illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condition. A scale transaction
cannot be completed until the item(s) are repositioned to rest fully on the platter (move
them towards the center), clearing the condition. Reference the PRG for more ScaleSentry
options and details.
Electronic Article Survellance (EAS) Deactivation Options
Deactivation of Sensormatic®, Nedap® or Checkpoint® EAS tags is an optional function.
The scanner must be expressly enabled to perform in either capacity.
Sensormatic Coupled Mode
When the scanner is configured to use Coupled EAS Deactivation Mode, deactivation of a
given item happens automatically following its bar code being successfully read.
Sensormatic Decoupled Mode
When in Decoupled Mode, the sales associate must press the Manual EAS Deactivation
button in order to deactivate an item. In this mode, deactivation is independent of the
scanning function.
Sensormatic Hybrid Mode
When in Hybrid Mode, deactivation of a given item happens automatically following its
bar code being successfully read, however, deactivation is independent of the scanning
function.

Controls and Indicators
Quick Reference Guide 5
Controls and Indicators
The scanner features a conspicuous green LED indicator bar atop the control panel side
of its vertical “bonnet” (item #2 in Figure 4). Additionally, a configurable speaker is used
to sound scanning, weighing and EAS deactivation indications, ScaleSentry event, etc.

ScaleSentry Override Button
-If the scanner is “asleep”, press this button to wake it up.
-Press this button momentarily to enter beeper volume
change state. Select one of five volume settings.
-Press this button between 1 and 4 seconds to enter beeper
tone change state.
-Press this button for 10 seconds to initiate a soft reset.
When configured to do so, a push of this
button will override a detected scale over-
hang condition.
This red LED indicates the current
ScaleSentry condition. See the
LED and
Beeper Indications
section for more
information.

This button is used to capture images using the vertical
window. See the PRG for more information.
.

options for pitch, volume, etc.
b. Button functions may be disabled for some applications based on user requirements. See the pro-
gramming section of the PRG for details.

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation
require periodic cleaning to assure best performance during scanning and weighing
operations. Use a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel dampened with a nonabrasive,
mild, water-based window cleaner to wipe away stains, smudges, fingerprints, spills,
etc. from the scan window and exterior surfaces (Figure 5a).
Figure 5. Cleaning the Scanner
(Models vary)

b
CAUTION
DO NOT spray
cleaners directly
on the scanner!
CAUTION
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive pads to clean this
product. Harsh chemicals, disinfectants, and cleansers can cause dam-
age which will adversely affect scanning and weighing performance.
Daily, clean the debris chutes between the platter and the outer housing (Figure 5c).
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 platter
(Figure 5b) to clean the debris chutes and drip rail.
CSS Option
Figure 6. Customer Service Scanner (CSS)
Coupon
A Customer Service Scanner (CSS) can
be teamed with the system which
enables mobile commerce (see Figure
6). This unit can be positioned sepa-
rately for optimal customer access.
This eliminates the need for an addi-
tional scanner, power supply, outlet,
interface cable, POS port and mounting
hardware. The customer can scan bar
codes from their mobile phone screen
or paper coupons while the cashier
continues to scan regular items in par-
allel.
