Removing Existing Scanner Scale and Accessories

Removing Existing Scanner Scale and Accessories

If you are replacing existing equipment, remove the old scanner scale.
  1. Log off the POS and ensure store personnel cleared the drawer. Some installations may require shutting down the POS.
  2. Unplug the current scanner from its power supply.
  3. Prior to removing cables, note the current cable runs.
  4. Remove all cables connected to the scanner. Do not cut cables if you are using or selling the old equipment.
  5. If applicable, unplug the current hand-held device from its power supply, and disconnect it from the current scanner/host.
    1. If reusing the hand-held device, leave the cable runs intact.
    2. If the hand-held device was attached to the scanner with an RS-232 cable, a new cable and a new hand-held device configuration is required.
  6. If a Sensormatic connection is present, note two cables:
    1. The large cable to the coils/antennas - disconnect from the current scanner but leave in place.
    2. The RS-232 cable to the Sensormatic controller communications port - use its run to assist replacing it.
  7. If a Scale Display is present:
    1. Note how the current display was mounted and determine if this placement can accommodate the new Scale Display. Adjustments to the layout and cable run may be required.
    2. Unplug the old Scale Display power.
    3. Remove it from the checkstand.
    4. Remove its cables.
    5. Remove the Scale Display.
  8. Remove the existing scanner.
