Chapter 7: Programming

7-5

Programming Mode

The NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale is programmed in the Programming Mode. You enter this mode by scanning the Programming Mode tag as the first tag scanned immediately after applying power to the NCR 7870. This puts the NCR 7870 in the Base Programming State. As a result, the NCR 7870 produces a long and then a short beep, and the status indicator stays off.

From the Base Programming State you select Specific Programming Modes by scanning the proper combination of two hexadecimal tags. The program parameters that you can enter in a Specific Programming Mode are identified on the associated programming worksheet.

In each Specific Programming Mode you can enter all the information contained on the worksheet by scanning the proper tags in the sequence shown on the worksheet. However, you can also use parameter shortcuts to enter only specific parameters. Program entry then goes directly to a specific parameter when you scan the proper Hex tag.

The NCR 7870 accepts programming tags only in the Programming Mode. If you scan a programming tag during normal operation, nothing happens.
