Imaging Assembly Programming Procedures Programming the Imaging Assembly and the 7878 scanners involves the following procedures: 1. Identify the 7878 scanner firmware version. 2. If needed, re–flash the required firmware to the 7878. 3. Program the 7878 for the Imager Module. 4.
Page 17
Imaging Assembly Identify the Firmware Version of 7878 1. Scan the Diagnostic Mode, Hex 4, and Hex A programming tags. The 7878 then speaks the 497–xxxxxxx number of its firmware. Note: The Diagnostic Mode, Hex 4, and Hex A programming tags must be the first tags scanned after applying power to the unit.

Imaging Assembly 4. Port settings must be configured first before flashing firmware to the scanner. Select Port Settings in the main window and select the Modify INI button.
Page 20
Imaging Assembly 5. Select one of the radio buttons under the Communications Protocol Group within the Port Settings tab. For RS-232 communication protocol, you can configure more settings under the RS-232 Settings group. Right-click one of the cells in the table to either change the parameter value or restore it to its default value.

Imaging Assembly 8. After configuring the necessary port settings, choose the scanner where you want to flash the firmware. 9. Select Modify INI after a scanner model has been chosen. Select the Update Firmware checkbox and choose the firmware BIN file you want to flash to the scanner.
Page 22
When initialization is successful, a window that shows the progress of the flashing process is displayed. 12. After firmware flashing is finished, exit the NCR Flash Tool application and disconnect the scanner from the host terminal.

Imaging Assembly Firmware Flashing using a USB Flash Drive In order to minimize the need for a PC at the scanner site, the Flash Drive Prep Tool preps a flash drive so that the scanner could understand its contents and performs the tasks defined inside the device prepared by the host terminal software.
Page 24
Imaging Assembly 4. Select OK. The following window is displayed. 5. On the Target Scanner tab, select 7878. 6. On the FIRMWARE groupbox, select the checkbox under Update scanner with:. 7. Select the Firmware from the dropdown menu. 8. Select the Prep Flash Drive button. The application then preps the flash drive. The following message box is displayed after a successful flash drive prep.
Page 25
Imaging Assembly 9. Right–click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the system tray to safely remove the flash drive. A Safe to Remove Hardware balloon message is displayed near the system tray. 10. Plug the flash drive in the scanner's USB peripheral port. The following lists the different actions the scanner initiates: a.

Imaging Assembly Program the 7878 for the Imager Module The 7878 scanner must be programmed so it can perform the following: • Beep whenever 7878 receives valid bar code data from the Imager module through the USB host port; by default, the scanner does not beep when the Imager receives bar codes.
Page 27
Imaging Assembly 2. Activate the beeps sounds during the HH input by scanning the Hex 4, Hex 0, and Hex 5 tags.
Page 28
Imaging Assembly 3. Enable 2D bar codes pass–through by scanning the Hex 7, Hex F, and Hex 9 tags.
Page 29
Imaging Assembly 4. Enable the Imager kit by scanning the Hex 8, Hex B, and Hex 1 tags.
Page 30
5. Enable 2D pass–through function of all 2D types by scanning the Save and Reset tag. Note: The passed–through PDF data is transmitted in ASCII format when RS232 Serial or NCR USB is used. This data format is required by NCR OPOS for 2D bar codes.

• The Imager flickers when it successfully reads an Enable symbology bar code. • Check if the symbologies are successfully read by scanning the bar codes in Sample 2D Bar Codes on page 30. Note: For advanced configurations, see NCR 7878‐K150/F150 Imaging Module User Guide (B005‐0000‐2166) on https://info.ncr.com/POSGen.
