Chapter 1: 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 customized +12 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.

terminology and basic technology of PC hardware and software. This level of
knowledge can typically be found in an individual who has installed several PC
systems, and who routinely uses a PC for personal or business computing.
Cable Requirements
The display supports RS–232 and USB interfaces, however only one type can be
connected at a time. Cable choices are:
• RS–232 Interface (Powered)
• USB Interface (Powered)
• USB Interface (Non–Powered)
Power Supply Choices

• No Power Supply for terminal powered configurations
• Universal Input Power Supply Adapter; 90–264 VAC, 50–60 Hz

Diagnostics
The 5977 Customer Display has internal Power Up Diagnostics that occur soon after
power–up or if a Reset Display command is received from the host software.
When the hardware is powered down, all registers and memory are lost. No recovery is
possible.
The Power Up Diagnostics include the following tests:
• Microcontroller test
• External Memory Character test
• Display test
Microcontroller Test
The 5977 performs an initialization process once power is applied. The MCU first detects
the presence of the USB signal VBUS. If VBUS is detected, the 5977 initializes using the
USB communications. If VBUS is not present, the 5977 initializes the RS232
communications.
After communications interface is established, the boot loader verifies if the MCU
Program Memory contains a valid firmware. This is done by computing the FW
checksum and compare it with a pre-installed checksum value (pre-installed checksum
is written by the ROM FLASHER/Factory Default Utility).
When a valid firmware is present on the Program memory, the boot loader transfers all
the functions to the core firmware.
Once the core firmware is in control of the device, an internal RAM check follows. RAM
test writes a value 55h to each RAM location. All RAM are written. After the write phase
is complete, a read phase begins to ensure the writes held. If an error is discovered,
testing stops and the firmware begins executing an infinite loop.
If RAM check passed, the MCU pulls the default code page from the external Flash
Memory to the RAM.
External Memory Character Test

A separate checksum test is performed on the external Flash. A Character Set has its
own checksum byte stored in a specific block of a SPI flash sector.
If an error is discovered, testingstops and the Flash status is noted and saved for host
retrieval later using the Reset command. Any character set stored in the Flash is
considered invalid and any command received attempting to switch to one of these
character sets is treated as an invalid command and ignored.
Display Test
If the display is not connected to a host through a serial lines or USB, it runs an extra
test that turns on all pixels on the display (character cells) for about four seconds. This
permits a user to examine the display for any pixel failure, but doesn’t require him to
execute this test on every power up. The unit does not have the capability to determine
if the Display Test passed. Once diagnostic testing is completed, line states are returned
to normal and the firmware branches to its idle routine.
The host is able to detect a Retail Display failure by detecting exception conditions on
the RTS or Busy lines for at least three seconds.
Note: When the I/F receives a Reset command, only the Microcontroller Test and
External Memory Test Character are executed. The Display Test is not executed.
Chapter 4: Hardware Service
Safety Requirements
Carefully follow these safety requirements before servicing the Retail Display:
Warning: This device does not contain any user serviceable parts and should only
be serviced by a qualified service technician.
Caution: Before servicing the display, disconnect the AC power cord from the retail

Chapter 5: NCR 5977 2x20 Display Programming
Host/Retail Display Command Interface

The Retail Display accepts two types of data: display data and command data.
• If a byte received from the host is any character except the ESC (0x1B) character, it
is processed as a character and displayed on the Retail Display.
• If an ESC character (0x1B) is received, the subsequent byte(s) is processed as a
command. If the subsequent byte is an invalid command, it is ignored. If an ESC is
received, but no command byte is received immediately, the firmware ignores the
ESC command.
Note: Each command consists of at least two bytes. The first byte (0x1B) is a command
identifier indicating that the next byte is a command byte. The command byte may be
followed by a parameter or by data bytes depending on the command. Also note that
the ESC character can be displayed by using the Display ESC Character command.
Character Scrolling Rate

The recommended scrolling rate is at minimum of approximately 350 ms (milliseconds)
interval for this LCD display. Residual images may appear if scrolled at a faster interval
(lesser than 350 ms).

xx=microcontroller status
00 — OK
If failure occurs, the firmware performs a loop forever.
yy=Flash status
00 — OK, present
01 — Not present
FF — Failure
zz=number (in hexadecimal) of character sets available in the Flash
00=10
Description
This command executes the power–down power–up diagnostic sequence. The
communication lines (RTS for serial, BUSY for parallel) are placed in an exception
condition (see the “Diagnostics” section). The microcontroller test consists of a sum–
check test on the ROM and a write/read test on the RAM. A check–sum test is also
performed on the FLASH that holds any user defined character sets. After executing the
command, the three status bytes (see above) are sent to the host, the display screen is
cleared, the cursor moves to the 0 position, communication line exception conditions
are cleared, and all registers and variables are initialized. Note that the screen is cleared
during this command. If a host needs previous data redisplayed, the host must resend
the previous data after this command has completed. Since true bi–directional
communications are not available for the parallel interface, a unique interface utilizing
the Strobe line as a clock line and the Ack line as a data line is used.
Erase Display
Format 1B 02
Description
This command clears all of the displayed characters by writing a space to each display
position. A space is defined as character 0x20 of the current character set. The cursor
moves to the 0 position.
Invalid Command
Format 1B 03
Description
This is now an invalid command.
Set Diagnostic State

Format 1B 04
Description
This state is exclusive from the On and Low Power states. This command causes the
firmware to display the current NCR firmware part number of the device (for example,
the current firmware part number for the device is 497–0408199) for five seconds and
then step through each installed 256–character set (default and user defined) displaying
one character at a time on all 40 display positions at a rate of about one character per
second. Start with the currently selected character set and then display all of the
characters from the other sets the same way. This continues until one of the other state
commands is performed. Prior display data is saved and can be restored be sending the
Turn On (state 3) command.
Set Display State On

Format 1B 05
Description
This state is used for normal run–time conditions. This operation instructs the firmware
to leave one of the other states and begin performing normal refresh operations. There
may be a slight delay before the display reaches the specified brightness setting when
exiting the Low Power State. This delay should not exceed 1 second from the time the
command is received until the time the display reaches the specified brightness.
Highest priority is given to refresh operations and a lower priority is given to host
communications. Host communications still work, but if a large amount of data is to be
programmed in a very short time frame, it would work faster if the Blank State was
programmed prior to the information transfer.
The Screen Save feature may be in force during the Display On state. This means that
after about five minutes of no new display activity, the Screen Save feature could take
over and cause the display to go blank or begin walking from right to left.
Set Low Power State On

Format 1B 06
Description
This state is used to reduce Retail Display power consumption and extend the life of the
Retail Display. Power is only removed from the display and the display is not refreshed.
The Retail Display controller is still fully operational and continues to accept commands.
This command causes the firmware to blank or turn off the Retail Display. Display data
can be processed while the display is in the Low Power state, but it does not appear
until the Low Power state is changed. The displayed character’s state is preserved so
that upon leaving the Low Power State the display is restored. To leave the Low Power
State, one of the other state commands must be received. This is the default state for the
Retail Display after power–up.
Enable Cursor
Format 1B 07
Description
This command causes a flashing cursor to be used whenever the Display On state is in
force. When the cursor is enabled, the firmware shows a visible flashing cursor at the
current cursor position. The flashing cursor should be visible for one second and then
the character at the cursor position should be visible for one second. The effect is to
alternate between the character and the cursor. The cursor is defined as character 095 of
whatever character set is currently chosen. For the three supported character sets, the
cursor is the bottom row of pixels turned on. For a user–defined character set, the
cursor becomes whatever is defined as character 095 of the character set. When the
cursor is enabled, it overwrites the character at the cursor position. If the cursor is
disabled, the character at the cursor position is left visible.
Disable Cursor
Format 1B 08
Description
This command causes the cursor to be turned off. This is the default state for the cursor
after power–up. A disabled cursor does not overwrite a displayed character.
Set Screen Save Blank

Format 1B 09
Description
This command is intended to preserve the life of the display hardware unit. The
firmware maintains a five–minute timer that triggers this feature. The Screen Save
feature can be disabled through a command from the host soft¬ware. When the feature
is not disabled, two specific options exist. The Set Screen Save Blank operation causes
the display to go blank when the timer expires. When the firmware receives the
command code, the Screen Save mode is canceled and the five–minute timer is
established. Screen Save Blank removes power from the Retail Display and does not
refresh the display in the same manner as the Set Low Power On command. At power
up, the timer is established at five minutes and Screen Save Blank is established as a
default. The five minute timer is not reset by any invalid or incorrect command.
Set Screen Save Walk

Format 1B 0A
Description
This command causes the visible display to walk right to left when the Screen Save
timer expires (five minutes). The characters on the 5976 display appear to walk across
the corresponding display row from right to left. The two lines in the 2x20 Display walk
in parallel completely off the left side of the dis¬play and then the two lines appear to
come back from the right. If the display is space filled, then no effect is perceived even
though the walking is taking place. The Screen Save Blank mode is the default mode
after power up.
Turn on Screen Save feature

Format 1B 0B
Description
This command causes the one of the screen save functions (Set Screen Save Blank or Set
Screen Save Walk) to activate immediately rather than waiting for the screen save timer
to expire. If the Disable Screen Save Option command is in effect when this command is
issued, it is canceled and the screen saver is enabled and activated immediately.
Disable Screen Save option

Format 1B 0C
Description
The firmware ceases to keep time for the screen save activity from the host software and
the display neither goes blank nor begins to walk due to inactivity from the host. This
command can be canceled by the Turn on Screen Save, Set Screen Save Blank, and Set
Screen Save Walk commands.
Enable Character Blink

Format 1B 0D
Description
The blink attribute is the only modifier which is supported for the display character
positions. The attribute itself is not necessarily programmed with each new character
code. Rather, each time a new character is received, the current setting of the character
blink operator is adopted as the working attribute for the new character. If a new
character is received while character blink is enabled, the new character blinks. This
makes it possible to have a display with both blinking and non–blinking characters. The
blink period is one second on and one second off. All characters that are blink enabled,
blink at the same time. The only way to cause an existing character to start or stop
blinking is to set up the character blink operator, locate the cursor to the correct
character, and resend the individual character code.
Disable Character Blink

Format 1B 0E
Description
This command counteracts the Enable Character Blink. The firmware implements all
new character codes with an on and holding character presentation. On power up, the
character blink modifier is defaulted to disabled.
Move Cursor Left

Format 1B 0F
Description
This moves the cursor one position to the left. When the cursor is at the left end of the
upper line, it moves to the right end of the lower line. When the cursor is at the left end
of the lower line, it moves to the right end of the upper line. The cursor location always
indicates the position of the next character to be displayed, whether the cursor is
enabled and blinking or not. After each character is displayed, the firmware performs a
logical Move Cursor Right command.
Move Cursor Right

Format 1B 10
Description
This command moves the cursor one position to the right. When the cursor is at the
right end of the upper line, it moves to the left end of the lower line. When the cursor is
at the right end of the lower line, it moves to the left end of the upper line. The cursor
location always indicates the position of the next character to be displayed, whether the
cursor is enabled and blinking or not. After each character is displayed, the firmware
performs a logical Move Cursor Right command. When the cursor is at the right end of
the lower line, it moves to the left end of the upper line and operates in an Overwrite
Mode (i.e.: The next character sent to the display overwrites the character in the left end
of the upper line).
Move Cursor Up
Format 1B 11
Description
This command moves the cursor up one line. When the cursor is on the upper line, the
cursor is moved to the same column on the lower line. The cursor location always
Move Cursor Down

Format 1B 12
Description
This command moves the cursor down one line. When the cursor is on the lower line,
the cursor is moved to the same column on the upper line. The cursor location always
Move to Specified Position (or Set Cursor Position)

Format 1B 13 nn
Range 00 ≤ nn ≤ 27 (Hex)
Description
This command moves the cursor to the specified position. Position 0 is the upper
leftmost position and position 27 is the lower rightmost position. Any value outside this
range is discarded, the command is ignored, and the cursor is not moved. The cursor
location always indicates the position of the next character to be displayed, whether the
cursor is enabled and blinking or not. After each character is displayed, the firmware
performs a logical Move Cursor Right command. The character positions are shown
below.
Query All Character Set Code Name

Format 1B 14
Returns All character set codename in HEX format padded by 0x2C
Description
This command is a request for the Retail Display to return all the available character set
codes stored in its memory. Maximum of 20 character set codes to be returned which
are separated by comma (0x2C).
Brightness Adjustment (Default = 2)

Format 1B 17 nn
Range 01 ≤ nn ≤ 05 (Hex)
Description
This command adjusts the brightness of the entire display. Individual characters or
display positions are not adjusted. On power up, the default brightness setting is
5 (100%).
Note: To change the brightness level, refer to Chapter 8, “Service Support Utility” for
instructions.
nn Brightness
01 20%
02 40%
03 60%
04 80%
05 100%
Read Display ID Byte

Format 1B 18
Returns 0x8A
Description
This command is a request for the Retail Display to return a identifier. The Retail
Display returns one byte (0x8A) that identifies the Retail Display as a 2x20 with 7x9 dot
matrix. Since true bi–directional communications are not available for the parallel
interface, a unique interface utilizing the Strobe line as a clock line and the Ack line as a
data line is used.
Read Display ID String

Format 1B 19
Returns “NCR 5977, 497-0499797,V1.14.01,<S/N:(11 bytes)>” in Hex format
Note: The quotation marks “” are not part of the string and are not
returned.
Description
This command is a request for the Retail Display to return an ASCII string with detailed
product information. Since true bi–directional communications are not available for the
parallel interface, a unique interface utilizing the Strobe line as a clock line and the Ack
line as a data line is be used.
Display ESC Character

Format 1B 1B
Description
This command is a request for the ESC character to be displayed to the current cursor
position.
Select Character Set n (Default = 1)

Format 1B 20 – 1B 33
Description
This set of commands chooses one of the six supported internal character sets or, if an
external character set is present, one of not less than 20 character sets.
• Character set 1 is defined as PC Code Page 858 (International).
• Character set 2 is defined as Katakana (Japanese).
• Character set 3 is defined as Cyrillic (Eastern European).
Note: The function where n is set to between 4 and 20 requires an External Memory.
Character sets 4 through 20 are only valid if extra character sets are present. Character
set selection is dynamic. Host software can switch between character sets at any time.
Switching between sets does not erase or change the display. This means characters
from multiple character sets may be on a display. The default character set is number 1,
PC Code Page 858 (International).

Chapter 6: NCR 5977 Graphical Display
Programming
Host/Retail Display Command Interface

The Retail Display accepts two types of data: display data and command data.
• If a byte received from the host is any character between 0x20 to 0xFF or a double
byte character code, it is processed as a character and is displayed on the NCR 5977
Graphical Display.
• If the following characters are received, the subsequent bytes are processed as a
command.
• Back Space (0x08)
• Horizontal Tab (0x09)
• Line Feed (0x0A)
• Home Position (0x0B)
• Display Clear (0x0C)
• Carriage Return (0x0D)
• ESC (0x1B)
• Unit Separator (0x1F)
• If the subsequent byte is an invalid command, it is ignored.
Note: Each command consists of at least two bytes. The first byte (0x1B) or (0x1F) is a
command identifier indicating that the next byte is a command byte. The command
byte may be followed by a parameter or by data bytes depending on the command.
