NCR sets a new standard for scan pattern density

     Executives attending the National Retail Federation’s Annual Convention & Expo, Jan. 13-16, in New York, were able to see demonstrations of NCR FastLane with the enhanced bi-optic scanning technology in the NCR booth (No. 1327).
     “NCR led the industry with the introduction of its NCR RealScan 78OFX bi-optic scanner, setting a new standard for scanning performance in assisted-service lanes,” said Mike Webster, NCR vice president for Self-Service Solutions. “Advanced scanning technology is critical to providing a user-friendly self-checkout experience. This enhancement to NCR FastLane will help make self-checkout quicker and even more convenient for consumers.” The NCR RealScan 78OFX provides advanced technology to equip retailers with enhanced investment protection and operational efficiencies.
     The scanner offers NCR’s exclusive Optical Effects Technology, which sets a new standard for scan pattern density----a key factor in scanning performance----by generating more scan lines at greater lengths.
     The NCR RealScan 78OFX provides features designed to help make self-checkout scanning even more accessible for consumers. For example, the eye-catching LED scan adviser on the top of the scanner provides intuitive visual feedback to the user. The scan adviser, which also serves as a diagnostics tool, is particularly helpful for hearing-impaired users.
     NCR RealScan 78OFX is available as an option on new NCR FastLane self-checkouts or as a field upgrade for existing units.
