the scale is connected to an IBM terminal.

Specific Program Parameters
Model Number
The Model Number parameter specifies if your unit is an NCR 7870-
1000/3000 Scanner or an NCR 7870-2000, 4000, or 4500 Scanner/Scale.
This parameter is set at the factory and should not need changing
under normal circumstances. Scan the Hex 3 tag to specify that the
unit is an NCR 7875-2000, 4000, or 4500 (scanner and scale), or scan the
Hex 4 tag to specify the unit as being an NCR 7875-1000 or 3000
(scanner only). If you disable the scale on an NCR Scanner/Scale unit
by scanning the Hex 4 tag, the BCC option also changes to the
appropriate state.
