Configuring the Scanner Using a USB Flash Drive

To configure or flash firmware to the NCR 7895 scanner using a USB flash drive, follow these steps:

  1. Generate the staging files and load them to the USB staging flash drive. For more information, refer to Loading Staging Files to a USB Flash Drive.
  2. Connect the USB flash drive to any of the three NCR 7895 USB ports. The EAS Deactivation button on the front panel turns on and the speaker beeps twice.

    Caution

    While the staging flash drive is inserted, do not remove power, do not remove nor connect any cables, and do not press the Volume/Tone Control button nor the Scale button. These actions may interfere with the staging process.

    Important

    The cap cover must be replaced when the USB port is not in use. A missing or incorrect placement of the cap does not allow the Top Plate to sit properly when replaced.

    Note

    If the Sensormatic device is installed and operational, the EAS Deactivation button remains On. If the Sensormatic device is not installed or not operational, the EAS Deactivation button turns on when the NCR 7895 detects the USB flash drive.

  3. Wait for the 7-segment display to show 2 (Option 2: Load a USB flash drive configuration to the NCR 7895), and then press the EAS Deactivation button. The speaker emits two beeps.
    Note

    The flash drive menu displays three number options for approximately five seconds each. When the option you want is displayed in the menu, select the option within five seconds.

  4. Confirm the selection within 15 seconds by pressing the EAS Deactivation button again. The 7‑segment display then shows a scrolling bar (–), indicating that the device is working. When the process is complete, the speaker emits three success beeps (high‑low‑high) and the 7‑segment display stops showing the scrolling bar.
    Note

    Take note of the following:

    • If the selection is not confirmed, the speaker emits four fail beeps and the 7‑segment display re-scrolls the menu.
    • The scrolling bar stops whether the cloning process succeeded or failed. If the process failed, try again or contact the System Administrator.
    Caution

    If the staging flash drive is removed prior to completion, a fail occurs (four beeps). Premature removal of the staging flash drive may result in a partial change in the system.

  5. Remove the flash drive from the scanner. The scanner emits three success beeps.
  6. Verify the firmware version. For more information, refer to Identifying Firmware Version.
