Product Overview
Introduction
The NCR RealPOS 5977 is developed in conjunction with the Next Generation Touch
POS solutions. The NCR 5977 may either be a 2x20 or a Graphical customer display.
The NCR 5977 2x20 Customer Display is composed of 20 characters in each line, and
each character is composed of 7x9 dots. The NCR 5977 2x20 display uses ABN LCD
technology that provides a high contrast ratio (550:1), wide viewing angle, and high
luminance. It is pre–installed with the standard three–character sets and up to
seventeen additional sets, with each set holding 256 characters. These character sets are
stored in the Flash Memory with data retention of at least 10 years.
The NCR 5977 Graphical Customer Display is based on a VFD technology that consists
of 256x64 dot graphics or pixels. The display is designed to cater Far East Markets that
includes China, Japan, South Korea and any location that uses its native language and
cannot use the standard NCR 5977 2x20 display. Each of the NCR 5977 Graphical
display characters is composed of 8x16 dots (single byte) and 16x16 dots (double byte).
The Graphical display is pre–installed with ten standard single byte code pages and four
double byte code pages. Code pages are stored in the Flash Memory with data retention
of at least 10 years.
The NCR 5977 display is built in a slim, thin chassis and zero bezel but still maintains
the NCR’s strong reputation being retail hardened. It is powered through the terminal
using a cust12 USB plus power or a +12 Powered RS232. All of the electronic
components for supporting both interfaces are populated in a single Printed Circuit
Board (PCB). Both interfaces are bi–directional.
The NCR 5977 display unit is used as a customer facing or operator facing interface for
various POS computer systems.
