System Power-Up Recap

The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the requirements of your POS system. It is generally a good practice to power-down (switch off) all equipment prior to connecting cables. Check with your System Supervisor and/or refer to your POS terminal manual for proper power-down and power-up procedures and interface requirements when connecting any peripheral device.

If you have not identified any specific requirements for your POS system, follow these steps.

1.Power-down the POS terminal.

2.Ensure that power is disconnected from the scanner.

3.Connect the scanner and scale interface cables to your POS ter- minal. This connection may use one or two cables depending upon your POS terminal interface.

4.Connect the Remote Display cable if your model is a scanning- scale and make any connections to optional equipment, such as EAS or a handheld scanner.

5.Power-up the scanner or scanning-scale by connecting the power cord to an AC power outlet. Wait for the unit to complete the Selftest routine (10 seconds maximum).

6.Power-up the POS terminal.

7.Verify that both scanning and weighing data are properly com- municated between the scanner and your POS system. (Weigh and scan a few items.) If problems are encountered, refer to Section 4, Problem Isolation.

8.You have now completed installation and system integration of the scanner or scanning-scale. At this point, the scale must be cal- ibrated and certified in accordance with the requirements of your state and/or local requirements. Refer to Section 5, Calibration, for calibration procedures.
