Configuring Using 123Scan Utility

To configure the NCR 7895 scanner using 123Scan utility, follow these steps:

1. Using a USB communication cable, connect the NCR 7895 scanner to a computer or POS terminal. The scanner produces three incrementing beeps.
   Note

   If the computer or POS terminal supports audio, it also produces a detection sound indicating that the scanner is detected.

2. Launch the 123Scan utility. For more information, refer to Launching NCR 123Scan.
3. Create a configuration file using the following options:

5. Select add cable, and then select Single RS232C. The application displays the Single RS232C interface settings.

   

6. Enable the Set as reboot default option. This setting enables the scanner to set the cable connection to RS-232 upon reboot.

   NCR Interface	Sets the NCR specific interface to be used for all communications. By default, this parameter is set to Follow System. Follow System—auto-detects the system interface used. Scanner Only—for NCR 7895 scanner‑only units. Scanner/Scale—for NCR 7895 scanner/scale units.
   NCR Prefix	Determines the Prefix Character used for all communications. By default, this parameter is set to 1002 (prefix 02, STX). Note If the NCR Use Prefix parameter is disabled, leave this parameter blank.
