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.
NOTE
A tone indicating Selftest is complete is a configurable feature. See
the
Chapter 6, "Power-up Beep Control"
in this manual.
