Volume/Tone Control Button

The Volume/Tone Control Button allows users to select settings for audible system indications. Users can control the audible feedback in the following situations:

  • Decoding
  • Completion of a request (for example, successful decode of a bar code and Sensormatic beep)
  • Error conditions
  • Processing a request that takes an extended amount of time (for example, scanning a sequence of parameter bar codes). This audible indication informs users that the scanner is working and not malfunctioning.
Note

If the decode tone is set to Off, the Volume/Tone Control button on the NCR 7895 is not operational. To enable the Volume/Tone Control Button, set a tone option other than the Off tone. For more information, refer to the beeper and tone settings in the NCR 7895 Scanner/Scale Bar Code Programming Guide (BCC5-0000-5516) or to User Preferences and Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters.

Adjusting Volume and Tone

To adjust volume and tone, do the following:

  • To sound the current scanner beep volume level, press and release the Volume/Tone Control button.
  • To change the scanner decode volume, press and release the Volume/Tone Control button twice within two seconds.
  • To change to another tone, press and hold Volume/Tone Control button for three seconds .

Each volume or tone change produces an audible beep when the new setting is complete. Volume and tone wrap from high to low.
