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.
