Good Read Tone

The Good Read Tone programming mode selects the parameters for sounding a tone each time the NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale successfully reads a bar code. It also controls the volume of the Not-On-File tone. This mode contains five shortcuts: A, B, C, D, and E. After entering this programming mode, you normally go directly to a specific parameter by scanning the appropriate shortcut Hex tag. This eliminates the need to enter all parameters when only one needs changing.

Specific Program Parameters

Not On File Tone Volume

The Hex E tag permits you to select the volume of the Not On File Tone by listening to it as you repeatedly scan the Hex E tag. The new tone sounds for two seconds. End this mode by scanning the End tag or another valid Hex tag.

Tone Frequency (Hertz)

The Hex B tag permits you to set the frequency of the Good Read Tone by listening to it. Each time the Hex B tag is scanned, the tone increments one unit. After reaching the highest frequency (1250 Hertz), the sequence starts over with the lowest frequency (524 Hertz). End this mode by scanning the End tag or another valid Hex tag.
