Operational Controls
The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details.
Operational Modes
The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are impor- tant to both the user and the system support personnel. These modes can be combined into three groups: pre-operational, operational, and addi- tional functions. The following text describes these modes, what they mean, and how and when they are seen.
Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation
Pre-Operation describes those steps that must be successfully completed before the scanner sounds the initial good read tone and illuminates the lamps indicating the scanner and/or scale are ready for operation. These steps include Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and Operational Con- figuration.
Power-Up/Selftest
Power-Up Selftest begins when power is applied. The scanner’s software immediately begins the testing sequence to verify that all systems are func- tioning properly. This routine, which only takes a few seconds, checks all the functions of the scanner, EAS deactivation system, scale, remote scale display and interface prior to indicating that it is ready for operation.
A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See the topic
Power-up Beep Control in the Programming chapter of this manual.
