NCR RealPOS Scanner Flash Drive Support
The 7893 supports a flash drive to provide convenient and economic means of scanner service
upgrades and initial installations. The flash drive support capabilities are similar to the
capabilities currently provided by the scanner remote flash update and configuration tools
NCR RealPOS Scanner Flash Tool. The major difference being that the required scanner
support files will exist on the flash drive rather than on a PC, laptop, or back office controller
which requires a transfer to the scanner over a cable.
Servicing or installing a scanner by flash drive is not a remote operation. A technician will be
needed on-site to attach the flash drive to the scanner. A flash drive firmware upgrade is the
fastest available means for upgrading the firmware of a scanner.
The scanner flash drive support files includes an INI file (created by the NCR RealPOS
Scanner Flash Drive Prep Tool) that informs the scanner what tasks are to be performed, a
firmware flash file for upgrading a scanner to a particular version, and a configuration file to
configure a scanner for a particular end-user.
The scanner flash drive support files will be downloaded to the flash drive using the internet at
the site currently used to download flash update files and tools (excluding the configuration
file which is customer specific).
The following are the brands of flash drives (memory sticks, thumb drives, flash keys, jump
drives) that have been tested by NCR.
