About the NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale
The NCR 7870 is used in high-performance scanning applications in
food distribution, mass merchandise, warehouse clubs, and large drug
store chains. It is a bi-optic scanner/scale that combines the
characteristics of a slot (horizontal) scanner and a side (vertical)
scanner into a single cabinet.
Bi-optical scanning creates a larger, four-sided scan zone which allows
the 7870 to read bar codes faster and with less orientation effort from
the checker. Scan line speeds of 2,400 lines per second permit
continuous item speeds of 2 meters per second. A good checker
operates in the range of 0.8 to 1.0 meters per second.
The PACESETTER Plus technology, available as an upgrade over the
Standard Decode feature, analyses and corrects information from
defective labels. PACESETTER Plus also keeps track of bad labels so
you can identify products and manufacturers with poor label quality.
The scale will weight items less five pounds (2.27 kg) in 0.9 seconds.
The weight plate is offset toward the checker, allowing the checker to
do what is natural when lifting heavy objects – pull the weight closer to
the body. This lessens operator lower back strain.
The overall result of these and many other design qualities is an
ergonomic scanner/scale with a very high first-pass read rate.
