About the NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale

The NCR 7870 is used in high-performance scanning applications in food distribution, mass merchandise, warehouse clubs, and large drug store chains. It is a bi-optic scanner/scale that combines the characteristics of a slot (horizontal) scanner and a side (vertical) scanner into a single cabinet.

Bi-optical scanning creates a larger, four-sided scan zone which allows the 7870 to read bar codes faster and with less orientation effort from the checker. Scan line speeds of 2,400 lines per second permit continuous item speeds of 2 meters per second. A good checker operates in the range of 0.8 to 1.0 meters per second.

The PACESETTER Plus technology, available as an upgrade over the Standard Decode feature, analyses and corrects information from defective labels. PACESETTER Plus also keeps track of bad labels so you can identify products and manufacturers with poor label quality.

The scale will weight items less five pounds (2.27 kg) in 0.9 seconds. The weight plate is offset toward the checker, allowing the checker to do what is natural when lifting heavy objects – pull the weight closer to the body. This lessens operator lower back strain.

The overall result of these and many other design qualities is an ergonomic scanner/scale with a very high first-pass read rate.
