Cloning
The cloning procedure reprograms the software in the “destination” scanner’s
memory with software from the “source” scanner. Before using this procedure,
determine which scanner will be the source (the scanner containing the desired
software). The NCR RealScan 7837 High-Performance Scanner supports clon-
ing and can act as the source device. The software in the destination scanner
will be updated from the source scanner. The destination scanner device must
be the same model as the source.
Procedure
1. Use the cloning cable to connect the two scanners for cloning.
2. Connect the destination scanner to one of the 10 pin modular connectors on
the cloning cable.
3. Connect the source scanner (containing the new or updated software) to the
remaining 10 pin modular connector on the cloning cable.
4. Connect the power supply to the 4 pin mini-DIN connector located on the
cloning cable or the scanner cable.
5. Make sure both units are on, and then scan the “Clone Destination” bar
code with the destination scanner.
6. Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The scan-
ner’s “Good Read” LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is in
process.
7. When cloning is complete, the destination scanner will double beep. This
procedure takes approximately two minutes.
8. Disconnect the destination scanner from the cloning cable.
9. To clone another scanner, repeat steps 1 through 8.
