Report Date: [Current Date] Subject: Driver Availability and Download Sources for NCR 7197 (64-bit Systems) Prepared for: IT Support / Point of Sale (POS) Integration Team 1. Executive Summary The NCR 7197 is a legacy direct thermal receipt printer commonly used in retail and hospitality environments. Due to NCR’s corporate shift toward enterprise support contracts and the discontinuation of public-facing driver repositories for legacy hardware, no official, generic 64-bit driver is hosted on NCR’s public website. Instead, 64-bit compatibility is achieved using OPOS (OLE for Point of Sale) drivers, Microsoft OS-embedded drivers , or legacy EPSON emulation packages. | | EPSON OPOS ADK (for TM series)
