2-2 Magellan ® 8500 Scanner Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Famil y Pre-Installation Considerations I t should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. I t does, ho wever , offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity .
Product Reference Guide 2-3 Checkstand Design 1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by sev eral muscle groups (for example designs whic h allow the cashier to use both hands for scanning and bagging). 2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input belt and do not require the unloading of items fr om a cart.
2-4 Magellan ® 8500 Scanner Scanner Installation 1. M ount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the coun- tertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting. 2. P osition the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 - 25.
Product Reference Guide 2-5 Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code to ward either of the scanner windows. Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand move ments.
2-6 Magellan ® 8500 Scanner Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away ,” the counter drawings in this section focus on this counter design. Simply rev erse the layout for a “ right-hand take away ” requir ement.
Product Reference Guide 2-7 Figure 2-2. V ertical Clearance Ventilation and Spacing The scanning-scale ’ s perimeter housing has been designed to pro vide ade- quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted mo vement of the weighing apparatus.
