Introduction

1

The NCR RealScan Remote Imager is a highly flexible and convenient alternative to a
handheld scanner.

The Imager module has a long cord which permits the store personnel to mount it in a
convenient place for the customer, without requiring precious space on the sales
counter. The Imager module is designed to be robust, making it more mobile and
enough to be handed to customers in case there is a need for it.

Installing the Imager Module

The RealScan Remote Image is easily connected to the existing USB ports of NCR 78xx
series scanners.

The USB Ports on each respective scanner are encircled in red below:

Programming Instructions

Program the Host Scanner for the Remote Imager

The host scanner (7878, 7874, 7884, or 7812) must be programmed so that it can
perform the following:

• Permit 2D data to pass through the POS

• Enable the K350 mode

The following programming instructions are

ONLY meant to enable the newly installed

RealScan remote i mager module.

They are NOT intended to be a substitute for the

customer’s already-programmed parameters.

IMPORTANT

Do NOT scan the DEFAULT barcode at any

time when installing the Remote Imager Module

or the Customer’s original parameters will be

To program the host scanner, scan the following bar codes:

lost and their scanners will stop working.

Enable 2D Pass–Through Function for all 2D Types

Note: The passed–through PDF data is transmitted in ASCII when RS–232 Serial or

NCR USB is used. This data format is required by NCR OPOS for 2D bar codes.

Note: This function is optional. The imager module produces beep sounds on its

own.

Enable the Imager Module on the 7884, 7874, and 7812

Caution: Do not perform this sequence on the 7878. If a K150 has already been

installed, performing this on a 7878 turns–off the embedded imager.

Program the Imager Module

The RealScan Remote Imager provides a limited number of symbologies enabled at
the factory, including the following:

• UPC–A

• UPC–E

• EAN–8

• EAN–13

• PDF417

• GS1 Databar 14 (RSS–14)

• GS1 Databar Expanded (RSS–14 Expanded)

• GS1 Databar Coupons

To enable other symbologies not listed above, scan the corresponding bar codes in the
following pages. It is also possible to enable all the bar codes the imager reads, or
selectively enable bar code one at a time.

Some linear barcodes are read by the 7878 itself without help

from the imager module. Enabling these symbologies on the

imager, but NOT on the 7878 causes the 7878 to produce an

error tone when it receives the data from the imager.

Such linear symbologies must be enabled on both scanners.

10

Enable Other Individual Bar Code Symbologies

Take note of the following reminders while scanning the bar codes.

• Print and fold these pages in such a way that only one bar code shows per page.

• Carefully scan the bar codes to the window so that the imager can see and read

them.

• Scan only the bar codes needed for the store. The Remote Imager beeps once a bar

code is read.

• No Program Mode or Save and Reset bar codes are needed.

• To know if the symbologies are successfully read, scan the sample bar codes

found in the “Sample 2D Bar Codes” section.

Note: This bar code also enables MicroQR.

Note: Ensure that the following four symbologies are also enabled on the 78xx

scanner.

Reset the Imager to Default

The RealScan Remote Imager should be preset with the default NCR settings. The
following bar code sets the imager to the necessary default configuration in order to
work with an NCR USB. The bar code also resets the imager to the factory default
symbologies, without affecting the basic communication to the NCR scanner.

Scan the bar code only when there is a need to reset to the default symbologies, as
listed on page 9.
