Before You Start
It is important to read the text at the top of each page of bar codes. The text will
provide important additional information about the restrictions and uses of the bar
codes shown. Not all configuration codes are designed to be used for both a
single and dual cable scanner/scale system. Many of the configuration bar
codes require additional steps before the unit can be configured and placed into
service. Most of the bar codes in this addendum were designed to be used with
a Stratos model that includes a scale.
All of the bar codes in this manual require:
The scanner/scale to have a firmware number of 14996 or higher
All configuration bar codes must be scanned with the vertical window
The bar codes (starting with 996) located on pages 7 - 21 also require the
scanner/scale to:
Be in scale program mode (see page 3)
Be calibrated, sealed and certified by local Weights and Measures
authorities after the scale configuration process has been completed.
The scanner/scale cannot be placed in service until it is sealed and
certified by the proper authorities.
Important Notes
For further details on calibration procedures for Weights and Measures
certification, refer to the Scale Operation: Calibration section of the
Stratos Installation and User’s Guide.
The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this
scanner is subject to federal, state and local Weights and Measures
statutes and regulations and can only be performed by authorized
government agencies and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the
scale or weighing mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly sealed
with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being placed into service in
commerce.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm compliance
with the relevant Weights and Measures statutes and regulations
applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate government
agency before placing a newly calibrated unit into service or removing
any official seals.
