Getting Started
Before You Begin
To set up the PreScan system, the following items are required:
• A qualified Datalogic handheld scanner (PowerScan M8300D or Gryphon
GM41XXPRE) and accompanying base station. See
"Handheld Scanner Requirements"
on
page 6 for specific models.
• A PreScan-ready Magellan
™
scanner. A PreScan-ready unit includes the necessary firm-
ware, which is either preinstalled in the factory or can be installed manually from the
PreScan CD (see
“Fixed Scanner Requirements”
).
All components must be installed and tested, and successfully connected to a qualified POS
terminal as described in this chapter.
Detailed installation procedures for both the handheld and fixed scanners are included in the
reference manuals for each respective model (see
"Technical Support" on page 4). If you are
unsure if your system meets PreScan requirements please contact Technical Support for
assistance.
Basic Setup
Handheld scanners to be used in the PreScan system must be custom-programmed to function
as a part of that system. To use the PreScan system, these steps must be followed:
1. Enable your handheld for PreScan mode (see "PowerScan Setup" on page 9 or "Gryphon
Setup" on page 12).
2. Continue to "Handheld Configuration" starting on page 13 to customize desired settings for
your device.
Go to "Using PreScan" starting on page 57 to view the procedure for using the PreScan system.
