Programming Tips
•
Turn the host terminal off or disconnect all interface cables to the
NCR 7870 before entering your program. Some host terminals can
corrupt your program if they are running and are connected to the
NCR 7870 while you are entering the program.
•
To exit a Specific Programming Mode without entering all the
parameters, scan the Abort tag. All parameters entered are
retained and the NCR 7870 returns to the Base Programming State.
To save the changed parameters, you must scan the Save and Reset
tag.
•
To exit the programming mode without saving any parameter
changes, scan the Abort tag while in the Base Programming State.
The NCR 7870 goes through initial startup and operates using the
old program.
•
If you do not know how your NCR 7870 is programmed, set all
parameters to default values, then enter any required changes. Do
this by scanning the Default tag as the first tag after applying
power to the NCR 7870. Next, scan the Programming Mode tag to
enter the Base Programming State and enter your programming
changes.
•
After completing a programming sequence, wait for the tone or
Voice Message to indicate the unit is back in Programming Mode
before beginning the next programming sequence.
Note:
Some parameters do not have default values and are not
changed when you scan the Default tag.
