Datalogic Scanning MAGELLAN 8500 - Manual (Page 154)

6-48 Magellan ® 8500 Scanner
Laser Failure Mode
This configuration item selects whether the scanner should continue oper-
ating if only one laser is functional. (The scanner has two lasers: One for
the horizontal window, and one for the vertical window.) Options for this
feature are:
• Single Laser Failure OK — The scanner can still operate even if
one laser is no longer functional. In this mode the scanner will
read only from the window associated with the operational laser.
This provides the user the ability to continue working until the
unit is serviced. The 7-segment display will show the error code
for the failed laser (reference Error Codes in Section 4), but the
scanner will continue to function.
• Single Laser Failure Fatal — If it is desirable to have maximum
performance or nothing at all, Laser Failure Mode should be
selected as fatal. Upon single laser failure, the scanner will sound
an error tone and cease scanning functions until serviced.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover
any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that
the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
LASER FAILURE MODE = SINGLE LASER FAILURE OK
LASER FAILURE MODE = SINGLE LASER FAILURE FATAL
