%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 6HWWLQJ WKH =(52 3RLQW 8. BASIC OPERATIONS In this section, basic R mode operations such as recalling a commodity, entering a tare weight, weighing and issuing labels, etc. are explained. 8.1 Setting the ZERO point The ZERO key may be used to make corrections for minor deviations in the zero reference point. The scale may drift from zero due to environmental conditions, debris on the platter or leaving objects on the platter for long periods of time.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 6HWWLQJ WKH =(52 3RLQW 32
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ WKH 63((' .H\V 8.2.2 Using the SPEED Keys To recall a PLU using the pre-programmed Speed Keys, simply press the Speed Key with the desired PLU number assigned to it. Please note that when using multiple Speed Key levels the operation is affected by the setting of SPEC 073 (Combination Recall) Ex.) Recall PLU #12 assigned to Speed Key 4 on level 1. (SPEC 073 = 0 or 1) Ex.) Recall PLU #18 assigned to Speed Key 4 on level 2.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ $XWRPDWLF 3/8 5HFDOO 8.2.3 Using Automatic PLU Recall Recalling a PLU automatically requires that the automatic recall function in the SPEC program be enabled. (SPEC #071) When the function is enabled, you recall a PLU by entering the PLU number using the numeric keys. After the last number of the PLU is entered, there will be a slight delay (about 3 seconds) and then the PLU will be recalled automatically. Ex.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ 7DUH :HLJKW 8.3 Using Tare Weight There are three different types of Tare weight, a known Tare weight, an unknown Tare weight and a Preset Tare weight. The procedures to use and clear all three types are explained below. Notes: 1. The NET Tri-mark ( ) will be lit whenever there is any Tare weight used. 2. To clear the Tare weight before weighing a PLU, remove the container from the platter and then touch the Tare key. 3.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ 7DUH :HLJKW key has been depressed, the Tare weight will be displayed in the Tare display window and the Net tri-mark ( ) will be lit.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ D 3UHVHW 7DUH :HLJKW 8.3.3 Using a Preset Tare weight Using a Preset Tare weight is accomplished by pre-programming the Tare weight for the PLU during the PLU programming steps (refer to S Mode - S1 PLU File). When the PLU is recalled, the Preset Tare weight is recalled with the PLU. Ex.) Recall PLU #18 which has a Preset Tare weight of 0.10 lbs. 8.3.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 6DOHV 0RGH 2SHUDWLRQV 8.4 Sales Mode Operations The procedures in the next sections explain the three normal modes of operation in the scale. They are the Weigh Mode, Non Weigh Mode and the By Count Mode. Each mode has a specific procedure that should be followed to ensure proper operation of the scale. 8.4.1 Weigh Mode PLU The Weigh Mode is used to weigh an item for sale. An item that is to be weighed may have a Tare Weight associated with it. (refer to Section 8.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 1RQ :HLJK 0RGH 2SHUDWLRQV 8.4.2 Non Weigh Mode PLU The Non Weigh Mode is used to issue a label for an item that isn’t sold by weight. Usually Non Weigh Mode items are sold by pieces with a certain value placed on each piece. In the example below the Non Weigh item is Apples. Ex.) Recall PLU#15 for Apples which is sold by the piece at a price of $0.29 each.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 %\ &RXQW 0RGH 2SHUDWLRQV 8.4.3 By Count Mode PLU A By Count Mode PLU is an item that is similar to a Non Weigh Mode item because it is also sold by pieces and not weight. The difference between the two modes is that the By Count Item is usually sold or packaged in multiple pieces for a price. The By Count Mode operation allows you to sell the whole packaged item or split the item and sell it based on a per piece value. Ex.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 8VLQJ WKH 2YHUULGH .H\ 8.5 Using the Override Key The Override key is usually used to temporarily make changes to the Unit Price, Tare weight or Quantity information in a recalled PLU. When using the Override key the R1, R2 and R3 tri-marks ( ) will be lit to signify which input area is being changed. Refer to the chart below.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 :HLJK 0RGH 2YHUULGH Ex.) Override the Preset Tare weight and Unit Price for PLU #12 Ground Beef which has a Preset Tare weight of -0.05 lbs and a Unit Price of $2.99 /lb with a new Tare weight of -0.10 lbs and a new Unit Price of $2.59 /lb.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 1RQ :HLJK 0RGH 2YHUULGH 8.5.2 Non Weigh Mode Override In the Non Weigh mode the Override key can be used to change the Quantity Purchased and the Unit Price of the recalled PLU. Ex.) Override the Quantity Purchased and the Unit Price for PLU #15 Apple, which is normally priced at 1 for 29 cents with a new Quantity of 2 and a new Unit Price of 20 cents.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 %\ &RXQW 0RGH 2YHUULGH 8.5.3 By Count Mode Override In the By Count mode the Override key allows you to change the Quantity Purchased, the Priced at Quantity and the Unit Price of the recalled PLU. Ex.) Override only the Priced at Quantity and the Unit Price of PLU #25 Bananas, which are normally priced at 3 for $1.00 with a new Priced at Quantity of 6 and a new Unit Price of $1.50.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 0LVFHOODQHRXV 3/8 2SHUDWLRQV 8.6 Miscellaneous PLU Operations There are three Miscellaneous (MISC) PLU keys available to use when a PLU has not been programmed for a particular item in the scale. By using one of the three individual MISC keys, items may be sold as a Weighed, Non Weighed or By Count type PLU. Note: The MISC keys may be programmed to require a password. 8.6.1 MISC Weigh Mode (without Tare Weight) 8.6.
%DVLF 2SHUDWLRQV (/3 0,6& 1RQ :HLJK 0RGH 2SHUDWLRQV 8.6.3 MISC Non Weigh Mode 8.6.
