Preface

Audience

This book is written for hardware installer/service personnel, system integrators, and

field engineers.

Note: This document is NCR proprietary information and is not to be disclosed or

reproduced without consent.

Safety Requirements

The NCR RealPOS 5977 Customer Display conforms to all applicable legal requirements.

To view the compliance statements see the NCR RealPOS Peripherals Safety and

Regulatory Statements (B005–0000–1701).

Caution: The on/off switch is a logic switch only. The AC line voltage primaries are

live at all times when the power cord is connected. Therefore, disconnect the AC

power cord before opening the unit to install features or service this terminal.

IT Power System

This product is suitable for connection to an IT power system with a phase-to-phase

voltage not exceeding 240 Vac.

Peripheral Usage

This kiosk should only be used with peripheral devices that are certified by the

appropriate safety agency for the country of installation (UL, CSA, TUV, VDE) or those

which are recommended by NCR Corporation.

Warning: DO NOT connect or disconnect any serial peripherals while the terminal

is connected to AC power. This can result in system or peripheral damage.

ii

Grounding Instructions

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is

equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not

modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock.

The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without

yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the

equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or

service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you

are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole

receptacles that accept the product’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords

immediately.

iii

Out-of-Box Failures

During installation if there is an Out of Box failure, the defective component will be

replaced. The defective part number must be identified by trained service personnel. If

required, contact your Equipment Provider, NCR Customer Service or your Service

Provider to diagnose the failure to the component level. A replacement component can

be acquired by contacting the NCR Customer Satisfaction Hotline between the hours of

8AM and 5PM EST, Monday - Friday:

• 1-800-528-8658 (USA)

• 1-770-623-7400 (Internationally)

or

Chapter 1: Product Overview

Introduction

The NCR RealPOS 5977 is developed in conjunction with the Next Generation Touch

POS solutions. The NCR 5977 may either be a 2x20 or a Graphical customer display.

The NCR 5977 2x20 Customer Display is composed of 20 characters in each line, and

each character is composed of 7x9 dots. The NCR 5977 2x20 display uses ABN LCD

technology that provides a high contrast ratio (550:1), wide viewing angle, and high

luminance. It is pre–installed with the standard three–character sets and up to

seventeen additional sets, with each set holding 256 characters. These character sets are

stored in the Flash Memory with data retention of at least 10 years.

The NCR 5977 Graphical Customer Display is based on a VFD technology that consists

of 256x64 dot graphics or pixels. The display is designed to cater Far East Markets that

includes China, Japan, South Korea and any location that uses its native language and

cannot use the standard NCR 5977 2x20 display. Each of the NCR 5977 Graphical

display characters is composed of 8x16 dots (single byte) and 16x16 dots (double byte).

The Graphical display is pre–installed with ten standard single byte code pages and four

double byte code pages. Code pages are stored in the Flash Memory with data retention

of at least 10 years.

The NCR 5977 display is built in a slim, thin chassis and zero bezel but still maintains

the NCR’s strong reputation being retail hardened. It is powered through the terminal

using a customized +12 USB plus power or a +12 Powered RS232. All of the electronic

components for supporting both interfaces are populated in a single Printed Circuit

Board (PCB). Both interfaces are bi–directional.

The NCR 5977 display unit is used as a customer facing or operator facing interface for

various POS computer systems.

1-4 Product Overview

Software Requirements for the NCR 5977 Hardware

The NCR5977 uses software applications that enable users to perform software updates

and configurations on the NCR5977 hardware device.

Retail Platform Software

NCR provides the Retail Platform Software (RPS) for Windows and Linux that includes

support for underlying architecture of the platform products like terminal

configurations, gold drives, peripherals, and so forth.

Note: For more information on download and installation procedures, refer to Chapter

6, “Retail Platform Software.”

5977 Line Display 2x20 Utility

Note: This section is not applicable to NCR 5977 Graphical displays.

Unlike the Retail Platform Software (RPS), the NCR5977 Software Utilities are specially

designed for the NCR5977. These utilities provide maintenance support to the software

functionalities of the NCR5977.

• ROM Flasher—enables user to display and update the firmware version of the

NCR5977 device

• Code Page Utility—enables user to load, add, and replace character sets in the

NCR5977 display

Unlike the ROM Flasher, the NCR5977 Code Page Utility is designed solely for the

NCR5977 2x20 LCD Line Display.

Note: For more information on these software utilities, refer to Chapter 7, “Software

Utility.”

Service Support Utility

Note: This section is not applicable to NCR 5977 Graphical displays.

The Service Support Utility configures the settings of the device firmware and code

pages that currently exist in the NCR5977 display. The configuration settings of the

device are automatically activated in the background upon terminal start–up. But you

can control the behavior of this utility by changing the settings through your user

interface.

Note: For more information on this software utility, refer to Chapter 8, “Service

Support Utility.”
