NCR RealScan Flash Drive Prep Tool



NCR RealScan Flash Drive Prep

Release Notes

The application's primary purpose is to eliminate the use of laptops or PC connections to push/pull Firmware and EEPROM to/from the scanner. All of the processes involved in setting communication parameters and running applications will be replaced by a single thumb drive properly prepared by this application software. It will provide also a user interface that will display the options the user can select for their scanners and then prepare the thumb drive accordingly. The software may be installed on a Windows based back-office system.

The flash drive prep application will only be available for 7878, 7884, 7874, 7893, 7812, 7879 and 7879 Lite PXA/Zynq scanner products.
