Creating a Configuration File

A 123Scan configuration file contains all parameters and data formatting rules required to program the NCR 7895 scanner. It can be in any of the following formats:

• 123Scan Scanner Configuration (.scncfg) file — programmed into the scanner using a USB communication cable.
• Configuration bar code — scanned to apply the parameter settings to the scanner.

To create a configuration file, follow these steps:

1. Launch the 123Scan utility. For more information, refer to Launching NCR 123Scan.
2. From the Start tab of the 123Scan main window, select Create new configuration file. The application opens a new untitled tab and displays scanner connection options in creating a configuration file.

   

3. Select one of the following scanner connection options:
   • Scanner is Connected Through a USB cable
   • Scanner is Not Connected
   Note

   After selecting the scanner connection option, scanner model, and firmware plug‑in, the application starts the Configuration Wizard.

   

4. Enter the configuration name.
   Note

   The configuration name must start with "NCR7895" and end with "CFG". For example, set the configuration name to "NCR7895_DEF_CFG".

5. Add notes to briefly describe the configuration file (optional).
6. Select Next to proceed and configure other settings. The application displays the next window and displays the new configuration name as the tab title.

7. After adjusting all settings for the configuration file, select Load and print from the left pane and do any of the following options:
