System Power-Up Recap
The System Power-Up procedure may vary depending upon the require-
ments 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.
