Introduction
The MagellanTM 9800i is a multi-plane imaging bar code scanner with an optional
integrated scale, designed to serve in supermarket peripheral lanes. This manual
describes its basic operation. For more detailed information about setup, instal-
lation and programming, see the Product Reference Guide for this product. These
manuals are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) for viewing and print-
ing from the website 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 certification 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
Slide or push items through the SurroundScanTM 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, top, left, right, front and back side of an
item, as long as it is fully within the scan zone.
Figure 2. Scan Zones
For best scanning results...
• Keep items in their natural orientation. Don’t favor any of the scan win-
dows.
• 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 possi-
bility of lifting thousands of pounds per day

NOTE
If a POS terminal holds the scanner in a dis-
abled state, the scanner enters limited scan-
ning mode which allows reading of
programming labels but ‘chirps’ other labels.

Scan Motion
The SurroundScan™ 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.
It is important to verify that the platter has been installed flush with the counter-
top to enhance slide-through scanning (see Figure 1). If the platter is not flush
with the counter, contact the installer or your technical support team for assis-
tance.

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accu-
mulation 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 4a).
Figure 4. Cleaning the Scanner
Daily, clean the debris chutes between the platter and the outer housing
(Figure 4b). Most items can be cleared from the debris chutes by carefully run-
ning a thin, stiff object like a credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If
necessary, remove the platter (Figure 4c) to clean the debris chutes and drip rail.
(Models vary)

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 damage which will adversely
affect scanning and weighing performance.

6MagellanTM 9800i
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 RailTM allows items to rest above the counter and other non-weigh-
ing surfaces. See Figure 5.
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 5. Weighing Items
Scale SentryTM Option
The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to detect
and indicate if they are overhanging non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s infra-
red (IR) beams sense items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter, the
speaker will sound a unique tone and/or the ScaleSentry LED indicator will illumi-
nate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condition. A scale transaction cannot be com-
pleted 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.

Quick Reference Guide 7
Top Down Reader (TDR) Option
The scanner’s exclusive Top Down Reader (TDR) is an optional feature of the
scanner, and is available in two different heights in order to provide flexibility for
installations. The TDR can perform multiple functions:
• The TDR contributes significantly to the overall bar code read zone by
scanning items from a unique top-down angle.
• The eCommerce option allows customers to use the TDR to conveniently
scan coupons and other bar codes presented ...even those displayed on
their cell phone. Depending upon the way this feature is programmed
into the scanner, coupons are either simply presented to the customer-
facing E-commerce scanner as shown in Figure 6, or the sales associate
must push the E-commerce button to read a coupon as it is presented to
that screen.
• The TDR also has an optional ability to take pictures. The scanner must
be configured for TDR image capture and a microSD card must be
installed in the card slot provided for it. Position the photo subject within
the field of view of the downward-facing TDR imager, then use the Cam-
era button located on the Control Panel to take the picture. The scanner’s
speaker will sound a “shutter click” sound and/or the Camera indicator
LED will light to indicate image capture. Photos are stored on the
microSD card and automatically numbered from image000 to image999.

Electronic Article Survellance (EAS) Deactivation Options
Deactivation of Sensormatic® 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, deactiva-
tion of a given item happens automatically following its bar code being success-
fully read.
Sensormatic Decoupled Mode
When in Decoupled Mode, the sales associate must press the Manual EAS Deac-
tivation button in order to deactivate an item. In this mode, deactivation is inde-
pendent of the scanning function.
Controls and Indicators
The scanner features two prominent LED indicator bars on top of its vertical
“bonnet” (item #2 in Figure 7) as well as (optionally) another highly visible LED
indicator for indicating E-commerce reading activities atop the Top Down Reader
(if a TDR is present) which is item #1 in Figure 7.
As Figure 8 illustrates, two panels on either side of the vertical scan windows
contain control buttons and more LED indicators. Additionally, a configurable
speaker is used to sound scanning, weighing and EAS deactivation indications.
See the LED and Beeper Indications section for more details.

LED and Beeper Indications
The scanner’s beeper sounds and its lamps and indicator LEDs illuminate to indicate various functions or errors. The tables in
this section list some of these indications. Reference the PRG for a more complete listing. One exception to the behaviors
listed in the tables is that some functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indica-
tions such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

Error Codes
Upon startup, if the scanner sounds a long error
tone followed by alternating flashing of the green
and yellow LED indicators, and an error code is
displayed on the Health & Status Indicator, this
means the scanner has not passed its automatic
Selftest and has entered FRU (Field Replaceable
Unit) isolation mode. The scanner remains in
this mode, until any button is pushed.
After a button is pushed, the scanner flashes the
green LED a set number of times to indicate the
error code. After one cycle of flashing has passed, another button push
resets the scanner. The PRG describes the LED flash codes associated with
an error found. If your scanner indicates any of these errors, note the code
number, then contact Helpdesk for assistance.
