The document provides instructions for setting up an NCR 7197 USB printer for use with OPOS (Open Point-of-Sale). The steps include: putting the printer in online mode, installing the driver software by pointing the installation wizard to the downloaded folder, identifying the COM port assigned in the EdgePort application, configuring the printer model and COM port in the RPSW (OPOS) application, and verifying printing works by sending a test receipt.

1. Setting up NCR 7197 USB for use with OPOS
First and foremost make sure the printer is in the correct mode by making sure both dip
switches on the back are down. This puts the printer in on-line mode.
Now let’s go to the unzipped file you downloaded. The I/O network usb file.
When you unzip it you will also have a zipped up file called edgeport. Just to be safe lets unzip it
into the I/O networks folder you just extracted. I suggest you unzip all this to your desktop for
ease of finding it.
Go ahead and open up Device Manager.
You will see this.

2. Now let’s connect your USB cable into your terminal/pc. Windows will see this printer and go
into the driver install wizard. You do not need to search the web so bypass that and then point
the wizard to the main I/O Network USB folder and select ok. It will find the driver and install it.
Then you will see this.
Now go to the I/O Networks folder. Then to the edgeport folder.
Go into the edgeport folder and run the edgeport.exe

3. You will now see this. Note mine is on com 4:
Now we know what com port is associated to the 7197.
Start up your RPSW (OPOS)

4. Select POS printer.

5. Make sure the model matches your printer. Then click on OK and then create.
Now make sure the com port matches the port edgeport assigned it.
Now click on save and then you can click on Diagnostics.

6. You should now get this window.
Click on Print.
You should get a test print of a Receipt.
Now you are working.
In your software make sure you reference the printer name so that the Common Control
Objects can utilize the correct printer and port settings.

7. You will notice mine is named NCRPOSPrinter.0
You should now be ready to run with it.
