Voice Volume 

To change the volume of the voice (speech) on the 7893, scan the following tags. 

  Program Mode, Hex 5, Hex 7, Hex 0, Save and Reset—Maximum voice volume 

  Program Mode, Hex 5, Hex 7, Hex 1, Save and Reset—High voice volume 

  Program Mode, Hex 5, Hex 7, Hex 2, Save and Reset—Medium voice volume 

  Program Mode, Hex 5, Hex 7, Hex 3, Save and Reset—Minimum voice volume 

Volume Levels 

There are eight standard volume settings in the 7893. However, there is a programming 

sequence which activates eleven. This gives the operator greater flexibility in selecting the 

appropriate volume of the Good read Tone. This parameter does not have a default value, 

however, the 7893 is shipped from the factory with this parameter disabled. The default setting 

of the 7893 is eight volume levels. 

  Enable—Program Mode, Hex 4, Hex 2, Hex 5, and Save and Reset 

  Disable—Program Mode, Hex 4, Hex 2, Hex 4, and Save and Reset 

Single Volume Adjust Bar Code 

There is a single Volume Adjustment bar code in the Programming Tag booklet, NCR Scanner 

Programming Tags (BST0–2121–74) available at 

www.info.ncr.com

. (The tags are also 

included in Appendix B of this document.). The volume obtained by using this bar code is 

temporary. That is, if used outside a Program Mode/Save & Reset sequence, the original 

programmed volume level will return when the scanner is power cycled. But if the Volume 

Adjustment bar code is scanned within a Program Mode/Save&Reset sequence, or the Reset 

bar code from the booklet is scanned, the volume is saved as if it had been changed by using 

Worksheet 11. 

Firmware Flashing  

Firmware flashing permits updates to be installed to the scanner firmware without replacing 

the actual chip on the Digital Board. The 7893 must be connected to a PC through an RS-232 

or USB cable. The PC must also contain the Flash Tool software utility and the new scanner 

firmware file.  The cables which can be used for flashing the 7893 are: 

  USB  

  RS-232 

Obtaining the Tools and New Firmware 

If you will be reflashing a number of scanners of varying ages, you should install the NCR 

RealPOS Scanner Flash tool for Windows. All tools and firmware for the 7893 are available on 

the NCR web site (www.ncr.com).
