Deactivating Security Labels
NOTE
Two different types of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems
can be optionally enabled for certain scanner models. Your system
may or may not be equipped with EAS deactivation functionality.

When this system is armed, Checkpoint EAS-tagged items are automati-
cally deactivated as they are slid over the scanner’s platter area during scan-
ning.

II and III EAS tags can be
detected and deactivated by a system that is equipped to do so. This is
accomplished by means of an AMB-5190 deactivation antenna mounted
under the scanner platter. EAS tags should be brought within five inches
of the antenna to be deactivated.
EAS Deactivation Modes
Three modes of initiating deactivation are selectable via scanner program-
ming (reference
Chapter 7, "EAS Mode"
in this manual):
• Coupled Mode — Deactivation occurs only after item barcodes
are read by the scanner.
• Decoupled Mode — Deactivation is independent of the scanning
function
• Hybrid Mode — EAS system is armed whenever the scanner is
enabled and the deactivation beep is sounded when an EAS tag is
deactivated..
NOTE
The EAS system must be functional to implement any of the EAS
Modes. If the EAS system is not active, error code 9 will be displayed in
the 7-segment LED display (see
Figure 4-1
).
