Datalogic Scanning 9504, 9500 manual Counter Cutout, Liquid Spills and Moisture

Liquid Spills and Moisture

Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.

Counter Cutout

The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of items. If you haven’t already read the information at the beginning of this chapter titled, Pre-Installation Considerations, please do so before continu- ing these instructions.

The symmetrical design of the scanner permits the operator to easily pass items from one hand to the other while scanning (either from right-to-left or left-to-right). With the unique 360- scan zone, scanning is accom- plished in one fluid motion. The operator simply slides the item from the conveyor belt or diverter area through the scanning area and passes the item to the other hand, which in turn bags it or places it on a take-away conveyor belt. Movement should flow naturally over the surface of the scanner.

Note that the following guidelines for preparing an existing checkstand to accept a scanner, or incorporating the unit into a new checkstand design will not be accurate for all installations. Although these guidelines will suf- fice for most standard installations, the installer may need to make adjust- ments for varying counter heights and thicknesses, support design, or other checkstand limitations.

Figure 2-6shows a typical “left-hand-take-away” checkstand design.

Follow these basic steps to install the unit:

1.Select a position for the scanner that offers a smooth product flow which best accommodates the reaching distance of the average oper- ator.

2.Cut the opening in the countertop. Reference Figure 2-7for cut- out dimensions.
