Programming Tags 

After completing the worksheets, enter the information using the special programming tags 

contained in the NCR Scanner Programming Tags (BST0-2121-74) available at 

www.info.ncr.com

. (The tags are also included in Appendix A of this document.) A large 

number of special programming tags are not needed. There are only five (5) unique tags and 

sixteen (16) hexadecimal (Hex) character tags. The following identifies each programming tag, 

its function, and the associated indicators. 

ABORT 

Function–In Base Program Mode 

If the Abort tag is scanned in the Base Program Mode, programming is terminated and 

previously entered parameters are not saved. 

Indication–In Program Mode 

  LED Status indicator dim green and then flashes bright green showing the tag was read. 

Scanner will reboot and perform power up sequence (the LED Status Indicator turns off 

momentarily, then comes on with a blue LED followed by a gradual change to bright 

green, then back to normal state at dim green). 

  Short beep as soon as tag is read—Good Read tone 

  Motor stop momentarily while scanner reboots, then they come up to full speed
