Installation Instructions
When installing a RealScan 7883, it is recommended that you first mount the Power Supply and run all the cables. After connecting the unit to the host terminal, make any necessary programming changes and scan some good tags to verify that the scanner is communicating with the host terminal. After verifying that everything is working correctly, mount the unit in the checkstand. If the RealScan 7883 does not work properly, refer to the problem correcting section in this document:
Correcting Scanner Problems.

NCR RealScan 7883 Installation and Owner Guide
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 available 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 firmware file on www.NCR.com is higher than what is already loaded in the RealScan 7883. Refer to the NCR RealScan 7883 User Guide for firmware flashing procedures.
Programming the RealScan 7883
Caution: Some host terminals can corrupt the RealScan 7883 program if they are running and are connected to the RealScan 7883 while you are making program changes. Either turn off the host terminal or disconnect the interface cable before scanning any programming tags.

NCR RealScan 7883 Installation and Owner Guide
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/232USB. 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.
3.Hex 1, Hex 0, Hex 5 – sets the required RS-232 programming parameters.
•RS-232 communications protocol
•9600 baud
•Odd parity
•1 stop bit, 7-bit character
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 scanners must also be jumpered for IBM (See figure above).
7883-1000 and 7883-1200
1.Default - sets all parameters to standard default values.
2.Programming Mode tag - puts scanner in base programming state.

NCR RealScan 7883 Installation and Owner Guide
3.Hex 1, Hex 0, Hex D - sets the communication protocol to IBM USB.
4.Hex 4, Hex 8, Hex 5 – turns off configuration message processing.
5.Change any other parameters as required by the host terminal.
6.Save and Reset – saves the parameters just entered and resets the RealScan 7883 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.

•Hex 1, Hex 8, Hex A, Hex 0.
•Save and Reset - Saves the parameter setting.
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 major steps for 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.

Scan Sample Tags
Now you should scan some sample tags to verify that the RealScan 7883 is communicating with the host terminal. Following are four good tags that you can use. After verifying that the RealScan 7883 is communicating properly with the host terminal, continue with the installation.
Note: For maximum performance, full size labels must be used. The UPC Symbol Specification Manual gives the exact size requirements for UPC labels. If the bar height is less than specified, more precise presentation to the scanner is required, reducing productivity.

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.
