3-10 Magellan

8500Xt Scanner

Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately

eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of

beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the

motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the

scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa

tion, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation earlier in this section.

Scale Adjustments

The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first,

and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets

the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of - 0.2

pounds (- 1.25 grams) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration.

While the ‘at rest’ reading remains within the zero range, the scale will

automatically adjust itself to true zero. The scale also automatically zeros

itself on power-up if the weight present on the scale is within these defined

limits.

Zeroing the Scale

The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store per-

sonnel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Push Button should return

the scale to Normal Operation. If the zero point moves out of the zero

range due to debris accumulation or other causes, pressing the Scale Zero

Push Button will not reset the zero point. In this case the weigh platter

must be cleaned, debris chutes cleared of debris or the scale must be recal

ibrated.

With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:

1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the scanner/

scale.

2. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. (See Figure 1-1).

3. The Zero

light will turn on and the display will show 0.00 lb

(0.000 kg). If it does not, see Chapter 4, Problem Isolation.

4. You have completed the scale zeroing function.

1. Zero light operation is configurable.
