NCR RealPOS 7197 Printer Migration Guide
Introduction
The following information is provided as a summary of important points to
consider when transitioning to the NCR RealPOS 7197 Receipt Printer from
the NCR 7194 and 7193 Printers.
The NCR RealPOS 7197 Printer is a new thermal receipt printer,
replacing the NCR 7194. New printer functions are introduced on the
7197, including faster thermal print speeds (up to 50 lines per second,
depending on the application software) and two color printing.
Features that we continue to offer on the 7197 auto-sensing
communication interfaces (RS-232 & USB), resident tallies for
diagnostics, and additional memory for multiple logos and application
use. Detailed information can be found in the NCR RealPOS 7197

Migration Issues
For customers with applications developed to support the 7193 printer
or the 7194 printer used in the 7193 Emulation Mode, taking advantage
of the 7193 Emulation Mode option on the 7197 can minimize
migration issues. For
some
of these customers, no incremental
development may be required and the printer may be deployed as a
drop-in replacement for the 7193 or 7197. But for
all
of these
customers, a thorough review of the documentation and testing of the
printer in the customer's application environment should be planned
before any assumptions are made with respect to integration effort.
The following are the major migration issues identified for
transitioning from the 7193 or the 7194 to the 7197.
