Installation Procedure

Caution: Before performing the procedures indicated below, remove power from the NCR 7879.

Remove the Top Plate

1.Hold the front edge of the Top Plate between your fingers.

2.Lift the Top Plate to remove it from the NCR 7879.

Remove the NCR 7879 from Checkstand

Note: This procedure is for NCR 7879 scanners that are installed in a Checkstand. If a Checkstand is not used, skip to "Remove the Old Tower Cabinet" section.

1.Holding the handles on the back of the Tower Cabinet and the front of the Debris Guard, slowly lift the NCR 7879 out of the Checkstand.

2.Place the NCR 7879 on a flat surface.

Note: If cables prevent the unit from sitting on a flat surface, disconnect the cables.

3.Proceed to the "Remove the Old Tower Cabinet" section..

Remove the Old Tower Cabinet

The Tower Cabinet is secured with two Latches, one on each side.

1.The Latches may be secured with a Screw; however, Screws are not installed during manufacturing. If Screws are being used, remove them so that the Latches are permitted to move out and release from the Horizontal Base Assembly.

2.Move the two Latches toward the outside of the scanner to release them.

3.While holding the Latches out, lift the old Tower Cabinet up and off the NCR 7879.

Note: The old Tower Cabinet may be discarded.

Install the Integrated Customer Scanner

Caution: Do not remove the ESD Protection Pads (gaskets) from the K151 Tower Cabinet.

The Tower Cabinet that comes with the ICS kit has two holes on the back, and the ICS can be mounted on either side of the Tower Cabinet. The side without the ICS is fitted with a Blank Cosmetic Cover.

1.Attach the Rear Camera Assembly to a Customer Camera Shroud and secure using two Mounting Screws.

Note: To avoid damage to the ICS parts, be careful not to overtighten the screws.

2.Mount the Customer Camera Shroud with Rear Camera Assembly through the corresponding hole and secure with three latches.

3.Mount a Blank Cosmetic Cover through the other hole of the K151 Tower Cabinet and secure with three latches.

4.Connect one end of the Customer Camera Cable to the Rear Camera Assembly (A) and the other end to the NCR 7879 Digital Board (B) found at the back of the unit. Follow the proper cable routing for Right–hand (C1) and Left–hand (C2) setup.

Note: Ensure that the Customer Camera Cable is not creased.

Install the K151 Tower Cabinet

1.Carefully position the K151 Tower Cabinet down over the Tower Assembly. Make sure it is properly positioned on the NCR 7879 so that the Side Latches can engage.

2.Slide the K151 Tower Cabinet down to engage the latches.

3.Slightly push the Latches toward the center of the scanner to make sure they are engaged.

4.If Screws were used in the Latches, install and tighten the Screws.

Install the NCR 7879 in Checkstand

Note: This procedure is for NCR 7879 scanners that are installed in a checkstand. If a checkstand is not used, skip to "Install the Top Plate" section.

1.If cables were removed, reconnect them to the NCR 7879.

2.Holding the handles on the back of the Tower Cabinet and the front of the Debris Guard, slowly lower the NCR 7879 into the checkstand cutout. It should sit on the designated supports.

3.Proceed to the "Install the Top Plate" section.

Install the Top Plate

1.Position the Top Plate over the front of the NCR 7879.

2.Lower the Top Plate until it is supported by the Supporting Studs. The Top Plate should be properly aligned with the NCR 7879 and should not move in a horizontal direction.

Note: After installing the Top Plate, restore power to the NCR 7879.

Programming Instructions

Note: The customer–side and cashier–side images are programmed independently; however, the Integrated Customer Scanner (ICS) will NOT independently enumerate with OPOS.

The ICS comes with three LEDs, which have no independent behavior from each other (they work together). This camera is defaulted to Autodetect mode but can be turned off (deactivated) with programming.

When the camera is detected by the 7879, the ICS LEDs turn blue, indicating that the camera is active but, by default, no ICS symbologies are enabled. When one or more ICS symbologies are enabled, the ICS LEDs turn from blue to green.

Also, when the camera is detected, the default beep frequency of the ICS is three positions higher in the frequency list from the default 7879 beep frequency.

Note: For proper functionality, the ICS requires the latest firmware 497–0506421 or higher.

Programming the NCR 7879 for ICS

To program the NCR 7879 for the ICS, perform these steps:

1.Power up the NCR 7879. The ICS is automatically detected by the NCR 7879, and the ICS LEDs turn blue.

2.Allow the pass–through of 1D and 2D data to the POS.

a.Enable any of the 1D or 2D tags. For the programming sequences, refer to the "Programming Worksheets" section.

b.Enable 1D and 2D pass–through function of the enabled barcode types by scanning the Save and Reset tag. For the programming tags, refer to the "Programming Tags" section.

c.Test the ICS to validate its functionality. Refer to the "Testing the Integrated Customer Scanner" section.

Testing the Integrated Customer Scanner

To confirm if the ICS is properly set up, apply a program sequence to enable one of the ICS symbologies (for example, PDF417) and scan a corresponding barcode at the ICS rear–facing window. If the barcode is successfully read, a beep should then be heard.

Sample PDF417 Barcode

Programming Worksheets

Detection

By default, the Autodetect mode in turned on. To disable, scan the Hex 1 tag.

Unique Tone

By default, the Unique Tone is enabled and thus, a unique beep is heard when items are scanned with the ICS. To disable, scan the Hex 9 tag.

Integrated Customer Scanner (ICS) Symbology Enable 1

UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13

The UPC/EAN parameter controls reading of UPC/EAN bar codes by the ICS. Disable reading UPC/EAN bar codes by scanning the Hex 0 tag and enable reading by scanning the Hex 1 tag.

UPC-A and UPC-E are the most common bar code types in the US, while EAN-8 and EAN-13 are the most common types in Europe.

GSI Databar-14 (RSS-14)

GS1 DataBar-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).

This symbology is commonly seen on produce items.

GSI Databar Expanded (RSS-E)

GS1 DataBar-Expanded is a variable length linear symbology. It can encode 74 numeric or 41 alpha characters. GS1 DataBar-Expanded can be scanned and decoded in up to 22 segments and then reconstructed.

This symbology is commonly seen on coupons and some deli items.
