Hardware Connections
1. Connect the serial data connection to the
Data Connection port (labeled: POS
Terminal).
2. If the optional pole display is present,
connect it into the Pole Display port
(labeled: Remote Display).
3. Connect the power cord into the power
connection (labeled: Power).
4. Plug the other end of that cable into a
power source.
5. Plug the other end of the serial data cable
into an available serial port on your
computer.

Magellan Programming
Scan the following barcodes in order to program the device.
Note: This programming method will make the Magellan emulate a Metrologic 2020
scanner/scale.
After making any of the following changes to the scale you will need to contact Weights and
Measures to make sure the scale is certified and weighing items properly.
When this barcode is scanned the green light on the top
of the scanner/scale will start flashing – This will make
the scale enter the programming mode.
MGL 22/23/81/82/85/9500
When this barcode is scanned there will be an audible
Double Beep from the scanner/scale, confirming that it
scanned correctly.
MGL 83/8400
When this barcode is scanned there will be an audible
Double Beep from the scanner/scale, confirming that it
scanned correctly.
When this barcode is scanned the scanner will reboot and
the green lights on the top of the scanner/scale will stop
flashing – This will make the scale exit the programming
mode.

CRE/RPE Configuration
1. Select Setup and then Setup Screen.
2. Select the Hardware tab then select Page
1, under Weight Scale Primary:
3. Select the COM port that the
scanner/scale is connected to. Many
systems have labels on the ports that
contain this information. If yours does
not, select COM 1. You may need to
select other COM ports later if CRE does
not find the scale.
Enter the optional tare amount.
4. Select Metrologic MS2020 for “Primary
Scale Type”.

6. Select the radio button next to 30x.01 lb
under “Scale Weight Formatting”.
7. Select Scale.
8. Activate the scale feature and select
Done.
9. Select Update.
You should now be able to scan barcodes and weigh items into CRE. Note that other programs
will not be able to accept input from the scanner/scale without having been designed to do so.
