TM
8500Xt Scanner
at power-up. Removing the weight or pressing the Scale Zero
Push Button should allow the scale to find zero.
• When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success-
fully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Oper-
ating Mode.
Operating Mode
Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deactivation
and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly
observed by the user/operator.
Normal Operation
This condition is indicated by the scanner green LED and the EAS deacti-
vation LED both being on dim and steady. For scanner/scale models, the
scale yellow LED indicates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the
platter. If you have a scanner without scale model, the yellow lamp will
not be lit when the scanner is ready for scanning.
NOTE
Yellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scanner may
not be programmed to operate in the standard manner described
above.
Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown
sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called
time-out
1
), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to pro-
long the life of the electrical and mechanical components. Once the scan-
ner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.

use of the programming labels included in
