Step 2 - Setting Program Parameters and Verifying Host
Connection
Now you need to turn on the NCR RealScan 7883. First load new firmware if needed then make any necessary program
changes. Next scan a few tags to verify that the RealScan 7883 is communicating with the host terminal.
Note: The NCR 7883-1000 firmware cannot be flash. Only the NCR 7883-1200 firmware can be flash.
Turning on the RealScan 7883
The RealScan 7883 does not have an On/Off switch. Use the circuit breaker switch in the checkstand that supplies power
to the unit as the On/Off switch. Put this switch in the On position.
Flash Latest Firmware – 7883-1200
Note: Firmware Flashing – Firmware flashing is only available on NCR RealScan scanners that have a Super ASIC
Digital Board. The Super ASIC Digital Board models all have a 2 in the second digit of the model number. For example:
7872-x2xx, 7875-x2xx, 7876-x2xx, 7883-x2xx. Older NCR Scanners have firmware chips that cannot be updated by
flashing. These chips must be replaced to change the firmware.
Although the latest firmware is loaded when the RealScan 7883-1200 is manufactured, newer firmware can be released
after the unit is manufactured but before it is installed. NCR recommends that you check the number of the firmware in the
RealScan 7883-1200 and compare it with the latest firmware availab le on www.NCR.com
To identify the firmware already in the scanner, scan the Diagnostic Mode, Hex 4, & Hex A programming tags. These
must be the first tags scanned after applying power to the unit. The RealScan 7883 gives a voice message containing the
497-xxxxxxx number of its firmware. Compare this number with the number of the firmware file on www.NCR.com
Perform the firmware flashing procedure if the 497-xxxxxxx number of the f irmware file on www.NCR.com
than what is already loaded in the RealScan 7883. Refer to the NCR RealScan 7883 User Guide for firmware flashing
procedures.

Programming for USB Connection
The RealScan 7883 Scanner must be properly programmed for USB. Programming and cabling depends on whether the
unit is a 7883-1000 or 7883-1200. The 7883-1000 uses the USB Dongle connection to the host terminal while the 78831200 uses a straight through cable. The programming also depends on the type of host terminal being used.
RS-232 Communications
The 7883-1000 communicates with the USB dongle using RS-232. Therefore, the 7883-1000 uses standard RS-232
communications (1 0 5). The RealScan 7883-1200 Scanner outputs USB and uses a cable which connects directly to the
terminal. It must be programmed for NCR/232- USB. Other parameters may be set as required by the host terminal. Set
the required program parameters by scanning the following sequence of programming tags. These must be the first tags
scanned after supplying power to the unit.
7883-1000
1. Default – sets all parameters to standard default values.
2. Programming Mode – puts scanner in base programming state.
4. Change any other parameters as required by the host terminal.
5. Save and Reset – saves the program just entered and resets the scanner.
7883-1200
1. Default – sets all parameters to standard default values.
2. Programming Mode – puts scanner in base programming state.
3. Hex 1, Hex 0, Hex E, Hex 0 – sets the required NCR/232 USB programming
parameters.
4. Change any other parameters as required by the host terminal.
5. Save and Reset – saves the program just entered and resets the scanner.
The host terminal software may now be configured to use the communication port assigned by the IO Networks driver in
the terminal when the connection is made to USB. Note that it is required to obtain the IO Networks software which is
available from the NCR website.
IBM Communications
The host terminal should assign the port and associate the scanner with the application when the USB connection is made.
When programming a RealScan 7883 for IBM USB communications, all parameters are set to the standard default values,
and the communications protocol is set to IBM USB. This is accomplished by scanning the following sequence of
programming tags. These must be the first tags scanned after supplying power to the unit. Note that both the 7883-1000
and 7883-1200 use the same programming sequences. However, the 7883-1000 must use a USB dongle, while the 78831200 uses a USB cable. The jumper in the USB Dongle for 7883-1000 scann ers must also be jumpered for IBM (See
figure above).

Scanner
Reduced Space Symbology
Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) permits more data to be recorded in a smaller physical space. This is accomplished by
encoding the data in large symbol characters rather than encoding each data character separately. Also, no quiet zone is
required around the symbols. The RealScan 7883 can read four types of RSS bar codes.
RSS14
RSS-14 is a linear symbology that encodes 14 UCC/EAN digits. This structure provides four segments that can be scanned
and decoded separately, then reconstructed. The total symbol contains 96 modules combined into 46 elements (bars and
spaces).
0100012345678905
19254
RSS-14 Stacked
RSS-14 Stacked is a 2-row format. The bottom row is higher than the top row and the two are separated with a separator
pattern. The stacked format is used when not enough linear space is available. A typical use is marking produce in a
grocery store.
0100991234567899
19255
RSS Expanded
RSS Expanded is a variable length linear symbology. It can encode 74 numeric or 41 alpha characters. RSS Expanded can
be scanned and decoded in up to 22 segments and then reconstructed.

Making Other Program Changes
If you still need to make program changes after setting the communication parameters, you can enter information directly
from the Programming Worksheets. The Programming Worksheets, located at the back of this book, identify all the
available program parameters. Each worksheet relates to a specific programming mode. Most programming options have
defaults, identified by a heavy box, that are determined at the factory. Scanning the Default tag as the first tag after
applying power to the RealScan 7883 sets the parameters to these values.
Changing the RealScan 7883 program is accomplished by scanning the proper sequence of programming tags, which are
included with the unit. Following are three ma jo r ste ps fo r making program changes.
1. Enter the Base Programming State by scanning the Programming Mode tag as the
first tag after applying power to the RealScan 7883.
2. Select a Programming Worksheet and enter its parameter data by scanning the
appropriate Hex tags.
3. Save the program by scanning the Save and Reset tag.
Note: In most instances the factory determined defaults are the correct parameter setting. However, if you do need to
make changes, it is recommended that you first set all parameters to default values, then make any necessary changes to
the appropriate parameters.

Determining Label Quality
Many labels in a typical retail environment are unreadable. The following illustration shows some of the common
problems. Vendors and printers regularly supply products to the market with bar codes that are overprinted, underprinted,
or truncated. Some labels have missing margins. Others may be printed around the corners of packages, or on media not
likely to remain flat when picked up.

The readability of a label depends on variables such as size, placement, color, paper type, ink viscosity, and package
coatings. The middle of a printing run can yield erroneous labels due to the many variants involved. In particular, poor
color contrast and marginal print quality can make a label hard to read.

Step 4 - Mounting the RealScan 7883
The RealScan 7883 can sit vertically on the checkstand, be mounted vertically in a Vertical Mounting Bracket, or be
mounted horizontally in the checkstand. If it is mounted horizontally in the checkstand, it must be fastened to a Plastic Top
Plate, or possibly be positioned underneath a glass surface. The plastic scan window in the RealScan 7883 cabinet is not
designed to have items slid over it.
Note: Improper installation can void the warranty.
Rubber Feet
The NCR RealScan 7883 Scanner is supplied with rubber feet that can be attached to the sides of the cabinet. This permits
the scanner to sit on the checkstand in a vertical position without being mounted to the Vertical Mounting Bracket. There
are round recesses in each side of the cabinet that accept the rubber feet. Remove the paper backing from the rubber feet
and stick them to the cabinet in the round recesses.
Plastic Top Plate
Your installation may use a Plastic Top Plate. Make sure no rubber feet are attached to the cabinet.
1. Properly align the scanner with the Plastic Top Plate.
2. Fasten the scanner to the Top Plate making sure that all four latches are securely
latched around the scanner.

Operating the Scanner
The NCR RealScan 7883 is a fixed position device that is not handled or moved by the operator during operation. It is
maintained and serviced by trained service personnel only. The operator has no access to any laser module components.
The RealScan 7883 does not have a power switch. However, you turn it on and off by using the circuit breaker switch,
located in the checkstand, that supplies power to the unit. Be sure this switch is in the On position.
The Red Indicator is on when the RealScan 7883 is ready. When the scanner reads a bar code, the Red Indicator turns off
and the Green Indicator turns on. Nothing happens if the bar code is not read. The correct way to do pass-by scanning is to
just slide the item past the scan window without lifting the item. With presentation scanning, you lift the item, move it
straight toward the scan window, then bring the item back away from the scanner.

Cleaning the Scanner
Keeping the scan windows clean helps keep the read rate exceptionally high. During normal operation the scan windows
get dirty, and if you permit the dirt to accumulate, performance degrades to the point where the scanner cannot read bar
codes. Use a soft cloth to clean the scan windows, using a common, non-abrasive, liquid window cleaner. Be sure to spray
the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the scanner.

Correcting Scanner Problems
When the RealScan 7883 is first turned on, several diagnostic tests are run to check the status of various components. If a
failure occurs, a series of beeps and flashes of the Green Status Indicator identify it. The number of beeps (flashes)
identifies the problem. The problem indication is repeated continuously with a 3-second pause between each indication
series. Following the first problem indication, the beeps are turned off and only the Green Status Indicator flashes to
identify the problem.
If the diagnostics identify a problem, you must have the scanner repaired. Refer to Obtaining Technical Assistance on
page 3. Although several conditions can be identified, following are the most common.

Ventilation Requirements
The NCR RealScan 7883 is designed to operate without an exhaust fan in the checkstand; however, there must be
adequate convection air flow. The ambient temperature inside the checkstand cannot be higher than 104° F (40° C). Also,
the ambient temperature inside the checkstand cannot be higher than 12.6° F (7° C) above the ambient temperature outside
the checkstand. For example, if the ambient temperature outside the checkstand is 76° F (24.4° C), the ambient
temperature inside the checkstand cannot be greater than 88.6° F (31.4° C). If the checkstand contains other heat
producing equipment, you may need to use forced air to keep the temperature within the specified range. However, air
coming into or leaving the checkstand MUST NOT enter or exit past the RealScan 7883.

Troubleshooting
For the most part, the function of each of the three units; scanner, scale, and deactivation unit; work independently from
each other. However, there are some interactions. Following are some basic things to check if the system is not working
properly. You may need to refer to the manufacturer's documentation for each unit.
Scanner Problems
If the scanner does not operate, check the following.
• Power Cable connections.
• Interface Cable connections.
• Red laser light is being generated.
• Spinner mirrors are rotating.
• Diagnostic failures (see Installation Guide).
Scale Problems
If scale is not weighing items properly, check the following.
• Scanner Power Cable connections.
• Scanner Interface Cable connections.
• Scale Cable connection to the RealScan 7883.
• Program RealScan 7883 to enable scale by scanning the following sequence of tags
Programming Mode, Hex 3, Hex 0, Hex 3, Save and Reset.
If the scale is still not weighing items properly, perform the following.
1. Remove all items from the Top Plate.
2. Scan the Reset Scale tag – Scale should read 0.00.
3. Put some weight on the Top Plate – Scale should read some weight (not 0.00).
4. Remove all items from the Top Plate – Scale should read 0.00.
5. Remove the Top Plate.
6. Remove any debris from the scale mechanism or Top Plate posts.
The 7883-1200 will speak providing additional information about the condition of the
scale. Insure the following: all cables are connected, power is applied only to the
scanner as the scanner provides power to the scale, scale reads 0.00 lb or 0.000 kg upon
powerup.
If it suspected that the switch settings for the scale are not correct, below are the settings
for the Mettler Toledo 8217 Scale when connected to an NCR RealScan 7883.
With RS-232 cover (bottom of unit) removed the switches are exposed. Looking at the
switches with the connector to the RS-232 9-pin DIN connector on your right the two
banks of switches should be set as follows (Consult Mettler Toledo 8217 Scale Technical
Manual and Parts Catalog) :
