Magellan 9800i
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, installation and programming, see
the Product Reference Guide for this product. These manuals are provided in Portable Docu-
ment Format (PDF) for viewing and printing 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 pow-
ering on the scanner.

Certification Label
At the time the local scale regulatory authority certifies the scanner/scale for use, a certifi-
cation 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.

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 unnec-
essary 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 windows.
• 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 possibility of lifting thou-
sands 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.

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 reori-
ent items.
It is important to verify that the platter has been installed flush with the countertop 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 assistance.

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation
require periodic cleaning to assure best performance during scanning and weighing opera-
tions. 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 4. Cleaning the Scanner
Daily, clean 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 platter to clean the debris chutes
and drip rail.
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.
(Models vary)
CAUTION
DO NOT spray
cleaners directly
on the scanner!

Weighing Items Using the All-Weighs® Platter
(Scale Models)
Items to be weighed can be placed anywhere on the L-shaped All-Weighs® platter (weigh
platter) surface. The unique platter design allows you to place items anywhere on its sur-
face. Oversized items can even be accurately weighed while leaned against the center of its
vertical section.
In addition, the Produce RailTM allows items to rest above the counter and other non-weigh-
ing surfaces. 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 Sentry™ 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 infrared (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 illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condi-
tion. 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.

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 cou-
pons 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 cou-
pon as it is presented to that screen.
• The TDR also has an optional ability to take pictures. The scanner must be config-
ured 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 Camera 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, 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 but-
ton in order to deactivate an item. In this mode, deactivation is independent of the scanning
function.
Controls and Indicators
The scanner features two prominent LED indicator bars on top of its vertical “bonnet” 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 shown.
As Figure 8 on page 9 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 LED and Beeper
Indications on page 10 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 is that some func-
tions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications
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 then alter-
nating flashing of the green and yellow LED indicators, and an
error code is displayed on the Health & Status Indicator, the
scaner 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.
Label Programming Mode Indications
These indications occur only when the scanner is in Programming Mode or when placing the
scanner in that mode.

If the scanner is equipped with the optional Sensormatic EAS option, various deactivation
and validation indications will be enabled.
