Chelan Red Apple

 

The NCR RealPOS™ High Performance Scanner/Scale works like magic when it comes to consistently capturing bar code information. No wonder the owner of Chelan Red Apple Market, in Chelan, Wash., alludes to wizardry in describing how effortless scanning is with his new NCR front-end system. “All it takes is one easy, fl uid motion to get an item to scan, not grinding something into the glass to get it to read,” says Tony Race. “There’s not a lot of going back and forth over the reader. It’s like waving a wand.”

More generally, that’s how Race characterizes the powers of the four-lane NCR Advanced Checkout Solution (ACS) that SNCR, Sacramento, Calif., competently installed in his supermarket last fall. With the fl ip of a switch, many of his front-end troubles were gone.

Employing NCR’s Optical Effects Technology, the NCR RealPOS High Performance Scanner/Scale has improved scan read rates and speeded checkouts. Most items scan the fi rst time, every time, he says. Cumbersome manual code entries are almost a thing of the past.
