Chapter 1: Introduction
Your new RealScan 7892 Bi-Modal Presentation Scanner represents the
latest technology in laser scanning. It is a small, compact unit that
weighs about 9.6 ounces. Being a presentation scanner, it permits you
to present the bar code label to the scanner. This eliminates the need to
move the label past the scan window, reducing the amount of operator
activity. The RealScan 7892 also has good pass-by-scanning capability,
for those to whom pass-by motion seems more natural.
The RealScan 7892 is available in two models: 7892-0100 and 7892-0200.
The 7892-0100 offers IBM, RS-232, and OCIA communication, and
permits you to change among these three programming types. It can be
connected to the host terminal through a standard interface connection
or through a USB connection.
Power for the RealScan 7892 is provided through a wall adapter Power
Module or directly from the host terminal. In either case, the input
voltage to the NCR 7892 must be +12Vdc.
The RealScan 7892-0200 offers PC Keyboard Wedge communication
only. This model is designed to address the needs of retailers whose
point-of-sale application does not accept scan data through a
communication port.
1-2 Chapter 1: Introduction
Using Your Scanner
Because your RealScan 7892 is a hands-free presentation type scanner,
it is much easier to use in the retail environment. The scanner sits on
the counter and you present the bar code label to the scanner.
Although the RealScan 7892 is a presentation scanner, there may be
times when the merchandise is too large to be presented to the scanner.
In these cases, you can pick up the scanner and move it to the
merchandise. Because the scanner is very light, you can maneuver it
easily in these circumstances.
Single Line Scanning is an optional feature of the RealScan 7892-
0100/0200. This feature permits you to scan a specific bar code in a
group of bar codes.
The design of your scanner permits it to sit on a counter top. Your
RealScan 7892 does not have an On/Off switch. To minimize the
amount of time the laser is on, the laser is pulsed during idle. If you
present a label to the scanner when it is idle, it detects the label and
turns on. This occurs with minimal delay in reading the label. After
several minutes of not detecting a valid bar code, the laser
(programmable 5-30 minutes) shuts off.
