1Chapter 1:IntroductionEquipmentSlot ScannersNCR scanners generally fall into two categories; slot scanners andpresentation scanners. Both read data from bar coded labels; however,the intended use is different in the two types of machines. In additionto scanning capability, some models of slot scanners can be equippedwith a scale. The scale can weigh an object and convert the weight intousable data for the terminal.Slot scanning requires an operator to move labels across a laser light.The scanner needs this movement because its scan pattern is fixed andcan only read a bar code when it passes thorough one of the scanner’sscan lines.Slot scanners are mounted into a checkstand near the terminal. Theyare used primarily in retail settings where a high volume of salesoccurs, such as food distribution and mass merchandise. These types ofscanners permit an operator to scan a large number of items quickly.With slot scanners, you have the option to add a scale and to add tagdiagnostics with PACESETTER Plus.
1-2Chapter 1: IntroductionPresentation ScannersPresentation scanners read bar code labels in a new and interestingway. Because the scan pattern rotates, the operator only has to presentthe label to the scanner with no orientation. Presentation scanners canbe mounted in an optional holder. This placement permits hands‐freeoperation, because the operator only has to present the label of eachitem in front of the scanner. At times when an item is too large to placein front of the scanner, the unit can be removed from its holder andmoved to the merchandise. Because the scanner is compact andlightweight, it is highly maneuverable. Its moving scan pattern permitsquick and accurate scanning.The presentation scanner’s adaptability makes it an effective choice forretail applications that encounter a wide variety of product shapes andsizes. Department stores and specialty stores with diverse inventoriesshould find that the presentation scanner enhances their productivitytremendously.Bi-optic ScannersBi‐optic Scanners use a single laser source to generate scan patterns inboth a vertical and horizontal window. This creates a scan zone in boththe vertical and horizontal planes that permit scanning on four sides ofan item as it passes across the scanner. This type of scanning reducesthe amount of bar code orientation needed, permitting higher scanrates.
Chapter 1: Introduction1-3NCR’s latest generation Bi‐Optic Scanner Scale provides customerswith a platform to reduce transaction times, simplify the sales processand drive additional profits through shrink reduction. Its designfocuses on improving ease of use which delivers higher productivityfrom Store Associates and the ability to leverage scan data to improvefront‐end performance. In addition it provides forward investmentprotection for the retailers through improvements in support andmaintainability. When considering current performance and built‐infuture capabilities, Bi‐optic Scanners allows you to address businessissues more effectively than competing scanners available on themarket today.Bi‐optic Scanners provide unmatched performance, usability, andcheckout productivity to businesses. The productivity increases comefrom features, including: Super ASIC (SA) technology enables better scanner performancetoday as well as processing capabilities for future improvements. Superior performance through advanced optical and mechanicaldesign which can process up to 10,000 scan lines per second. Optional Sensormatic Ultra Max Deactivator 5220n integratedElectronic Article Surveillance (EAS) deactivation feature. Simple to use technology for cashiers, including NCR‐patentedfeatures like Clean Window Indicator and Scan Doctor spoken‐language diagnostics. NCR’s PACESETTER software helps read damaged, underprinted,and overprinted bar codes to improve first‐pass read rates andkeep check‐out queues moving.

Chapter 1: Introduction1-5Communication ProtocolsThe communication protocols that this manual covers are RS‐232 andOCIA. The OCIA versions included are long format and single cablelong format. RS‐232 is a standard format and is widely available. Thisprotocol is most likely used by individuals working with non‐NCRterminals. These versions of OCIA are NCR‐developed protocols.RS-232RS‐232 is the standard format that is available in most NCR and non‐NCR terminals. The protocol uses 7 or 8 bit ASCII to send tag and scaledata to a terminal. RS‐232 supports a variety of bar codes and theoptions associated with each bar code. In addition, the RS‐232 protocolsupports even and odd parity, as well as a BCC byte.Note: Using RS‐232, you cannot send either 8 bit data with parity andtwo‐stop bits, or 7‐bit data with no parity and one‐stop bit.OCIANote: NCR RealScan SuperASIC (SA) units do NOT support any formof OCIA.NCR OCIA is an interface developed by NCR. Created as a protocol foruse with NCR scanner/host terminal combinations, it is the standardformat for interfacing between NCR scanners and terminals. OCIA hasa long history with NCR scanners, but has been replaced by RS‐232 inrecent times.OCIA is different from RS‐232 because it is an optically coupledinterface utilizing an optically coupled diode. The communications linkbetween the two devices has no electrical connection, and therefore, theuse of a common ground is not required.
1-6Chapter 1: IntroductionOCIA NCR Long FormatOCIA NCR Long Format is a scanner‐only protocol. This format can beused with both slot and presentation types of scanners. It supports 8 bitdata with no parity and can handle alphanumeric data found in Code39 and Code 128 bar codes.Note: OCIA Long Format is also called Full Format. Also, labelidentifiers and tag check digits are fully programmable using OCIALong Format with a 7890 scanner. Refer to Chapter 3, RS‐232 MessageStructures for information regarding these options.Note: In order to accommodate the alphanumeric data of Code 39 andCode 128 bar codes, system software that supports these codes must bepresent in the host terminal.OCIA NCR Single Cable Long FormatOCIA NCR Single Cable Long is the format for scanner/scale machines.Like standard OCIA Long Format, Single Cable Long Format canhandle alphanumeric bar code data. However, unlike standard longformat, it supports 7 bit data with an odd parity bit.Note: In order to accommodate the alphanumeric data of Code 39 andCode 128 bar codes, system software that supports these codes must bepresent in the host terminal.
Chapter 1: Introduction1-7IBM-485Both Release 1 and SuperASIC scanners support IBM‐485communications protocol. This is a completely proprietary interface,and therefore cannot be detailed in this document. Any questionsabout IBM‐485 interface should be directed to IBM Corporation.IBM documents referenced in developing this interface include: IBM 4696 Point of Sale Scanner‐Scale to IBM 4683 and 4684 POSTerminals Product Attachment Information, August 1992.
