INTRODUCTION
The NCR K150 / F150 Imaging Module provides image–based scanning capabilities for
NCR scanners.
The Imaging Module is available as a kit (K150) for the following scanners:
NCR RealPOS Low Profile Bi–Optic Scanner/Scale (7874)
●NCR RealPOS High Performance Bi–Optic Scanner/Scale (7878)
The Imaging Module is also available as a feature (F150) for the NCR RealPOS Single
Window Scanner (7884).
This user guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming instructions for the
NCR K150 / F150 Imaging Module. Specifications and dimensions information are also
included.
Note: The barcode selection with an asterisk (*) preceding its name tag programs the
default settings.

UNPACKING THE DEVICE
Perform the following steps below after the shipping carton that contains the NCR K150
Imaging Module is opened:.
1. Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who
delivered the carton.
2. Ensure that the items in the carton match your order.
3. Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
To connect the NCR K150 Imaging Module to the NCR 7874 Scanner, refer to the NCR
7874–K150 Imaging Assembly Kit Instructions.
To connect the NCR K150 Imaging Module to the NCR 7878 Scanner, refer to the NCR
7878–K150 Imaging Assembly Kit Instructions
READING TECHNIQUES
The NCR K150 / F150 Imaging Module includes a view finder that projects a bright red
aiming beam. Follow the guidelines below to get a good read of the bar code.
Aim the beam over the center of the bar code.
Read bar codes with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner.
Read bar codes with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
Linear Bar Code 2D Matrix Symbol

NCR — CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
Use pursuant to Company Instructions
If the code being scanned is highly reflective, for example laminated items, tilt the
code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection and aim at the center of the bar
code.
SETTING CUSTOM DEFAULTS
The procedures below customize default settings for the scanner.
1. Scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below.
2. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a
Save code, that entire sequence is saved to your custom defaults.
3. Scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code below to save the commands for your
custom defaults settings.
You can update or change a single command setting to your custom default setting.
Example: To change the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to High.
1. Scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code.
2. Scan the Beeper Volume High menu code to overwrite the Beeper
Volume Low setting.
3. Scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code to save the changes.
The beeper volume setting updates to high while the rest of custom default
setting remains the same.

RESETTING THE CUSTOM DEFAULTS
Scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below to restore the custom default
settings of the scanner.
This bar code is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the
imaging module to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it
resets the imaging module to the factory default settings. Any settings not specified
through the custom defaults is defaulted to the factory default settings.
RESETTING THE FACTORY DEFAULTS
To erase all your settings, reset the scanner to the original factory defaults, and disable the
plug–ins, follow the steps below:
1. Scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code below to erase your settings.
2. Scan Activate Defaults bar code below to reset the engine to the factory default
settings.
Note: The Menu Commands list the factory default settings for each of the commands
(indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

MANUAL TRIGGER MODES
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the
trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced.
Normal Mode
Normal mode provides good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field).
Scan the bar code below to activate Normal mode.
*Manual Trigger–Normal
Enhanced Mode
Enhanced mode provides the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than
Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when a very fast scan speed is required but a
long working range is not.
Scan the bar code below to activate Enhanced mode.
