5. Select a design which encourages the cashier to slide products across
the scanner rather than gripping and lifting. Make sure the horizon-
tal surface of the scanner is flush with all surrounding surfaces.
6. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to eliminate
extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.
7. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height 13 - 17 inches (33 -
43.2 cm) lower than the top surface of the checkstand to reduce
stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated with lifting
products into bags.
8. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scanner,
due to the increased reach involved.
9. Position the scanner’s horizontal scanning surface 34 - 36 inches
(86.4 - 91.4 cm) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of five
inches (12.7 cm) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.
10. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizontal
reach).
11. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devices the
cashier uses within easy reach (less than 18 inches/45.7 cm).
12. Provide adequate toe space, foot rests or rails, antifatigue mats, and
where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which the cashiers
can lean.
Scanner Installation
1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the counter-
top to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting.
2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 -
25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side).
Scanner Maintenance
1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and
reduce rescans.
2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.
