NCR 7870 manual Program Entry Example, Scan the Programming Mode tag, Enter All Parameters

Chapter 7: Programming 7-9

Program Entry Example

The following example is a typical program entry procedure.

1.Apply power to the NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale.

2.Scan the Programming Mode tag.

3.Scan the two Hex tags corresponding to the worksheet number.

4.Scan appropriate Hex tags to enter parameters. Two methods are available:

a)Enter All Parameters

To enter all parameters in a Specific Programming Mode, scan the two Hex codes that put the NCR 7870 in the specific mode, and then make parameter changes in the order described on the programming worksheet for that mode. In programming all parameters in a specific mode, you proceed linearly through the work sheet. When you make a change in a parameter, the scanner moves to the next parameter to be changed or it goes back to the Base Programming State if your selection ends programming in that particular Specific Programming Mode.

The following figure shows how to proceed through a Specific Programming Mode where you choose to enter all parameters. This figure presents the Specific Programming Mode for the Bar Codes 2 program parameters. The figure shows how you proceed through the specific mode by entering all available parameters. Notice that if you choose to disable Code 39 bar codes, programming immediately return to the Base Programming State. However, if you select to enable Code 39 bar codes, the scanner directs you to continue entering parameter information.
