Getting Started
Honeywell’s Stratos™ bioptic scanner/scale incorporates a revolutionary hybrid platform that enables retailers to maximize cus-
tomer throughput for rapid pass-through scanning of linear bar codes, plus area imaging technology for scanning of 2D and
mobile bar codes. The Stratos bioptic enhances the checkout scanning experience for traditional checkout lanes and self-check-
out environments.
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Stratos bioptic. Product specifications, dimen-
sions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need
to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting. See Serial Programming Commands beginning on page 13-1 for a
complete listing of the serial commands for programming bar codes.
Note: The Stratos bioptic is programmed via the vertical window only. The horizontal window intentionally does not read
programming bar codes as a means of preventing accidental scans.
Printing Single Bar Codes
If you wish to print single-page bar codes for any programming selection, hover your cursor over the bar code, and left click. A
document with that bar code on a single page is displayed. Click the Print button to print that page.
The bar code document contains all the programming bar codes from this manual. You can scroll through the pdf to locate any
other codes in which you are interested.
Dimensions
Site Requirements
Vertical Clearance
A minimum clearance height of 7 inches (17.78cm) from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical hood. For
further information, refer to Installation Diagrams beginning on page 2-1.
Ventilation and Spacing
The Stratos bioptic has a die-cast housing that dissipates heat, allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. Hon-
eywell recommends that the temperature surrounding the unit does not exceed 104°F (40°C). There should be adequate
convection and minimal heat producing equipment in close proximity of the unit. A cooling fan with a filter is recommended
if there will be a conveyor motor or other heat producing equipment close to the unit that will create a high temperature envi-
ronment.
Adequate spacing between the unit and the checkout counter opening is required for proper operation of the scale. When
the Stratos bioptic is mounted properly, the scale platter should be able to move up and down freely without hitting the
edges of the checkout counter cutout. Refer to Installation beginning on page 2-1 for detailed cutout dimensions and
mounting instructions.
Lighting
The Stratos bioptic should not be pointed toward any strong light sources that would create glare on the vertical window.
Service Access
When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure to leave access so that these components may be
swapped easily without the need to remove the unit from the checkout counter.
When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to Scale beginning on page
6-1 for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.
