SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FCC Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference; in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Verify Correctness of
Weight & Price
Verification of information on labels should be made routinely. Check the multiplication of price-per-pound times weight, and check the indicated weight against printed weight. Weigh the same package several times to verify consistency. Bear in mind that some packages which weigh near the middle of the .01 lb. increment will normally vary up or down by .01 lb. Greater variation than .01 lb. indicates a need for adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever necessary, contact your authorized Hobart service representative.

Quantum Scale System
General Information
Electrical Connections
The Quantum Scale System is perfect for your over-the- counter weighing applications. This state-of-the-art weighing system can handle a broad variety of products for deli, bakery, produce, fish and cheese departments. It can also function in a Prepack Scale mode when necessary.
With 512K memory, the system can store information on thousands of products; including NutriFacts which allows you to meet labeling law requirements and Expanded Text for Recipes and Cooking Instructions.
A new feature with the Quantum is Flashkeys which allow easy access to product information. A maximum of 16 Flashkeys can be displayed on a screen at one time. Multiple screens can be programmed to mirror your product case. When an item is called up from memory, the product information can be reviewed or changed before weighing or label printing. This allows quicker and easier service to your customers.
Another new feature is the On Screen Library which provides you with the ability to locate the PLU information using the Class Structure. A detailed description of this feature is found later in this manual.
The Quantum Scale System should be installed or moved only by qualified Hobart-trained service technicians. It can operate in a temperature range from 32oF to 104oF
(0oC to 40o C).
The Power Cord receptacle is located on the bottom side of the Quantum base. The power cord is connected to 120V., 60 Hz., Single (1) Phase electrical power. Once the Quantum is plugged in, the system is ready to begin the Power-up Sequence.

Communication
Connections
Reset Button
In addition to the Power Cord, there are up to four (4) additional ports.
On the left side of the scale, there are several ports for peripherals such as:
♦Disk Player/Recorder and Cassette Recorder (RS232)
♦IBM PC Keyboard (Keyboard)
♦Floppy Disk Drive or Secondary Printer (MODNET)
♦Future Expansion (i.e., parallel port for Report Printer)
Also located on the left side of the scale is the Reset Button. In the unlikely event the scale stops responding to keyboard input, you will use the Reset Button to reset the scale back to the Start a Run Screen.
To reset the scale, you must:
1.Hold in the Reset Button (small black button) for 2 - 3 seconds. (See Photo above for Reset Button location.)
Note
The POWER key on the front of the Control Panel turns the displays (both operator and customer) ON and OFF. It is only functional from the Start a Run Screen. This key should be used at the end of the day to conserve power.

A block cursor ( ) indicates that the |
|
field is a numeric field. |
Changeable Fields |
If a field has a dotted line (.............) |
|
under it, this means that the field is |
|
able to be changed or edited. |
Grayed Fields |
If a field or selection is grayed, it |
|
means that it is not available for that |

Note
In order to print different label stock types (Narrow, Wide or Linerless), the Quantum will use different Label Cassettes. This allows you to rapidly change the label stock by simply ejecting one label cassette and replacing it with another one.
Removing the Label Cassette |
To remove the Label Cassette: |
|
|
1. |
Press down on the black Label Cassette Eject Button. |
|
||
|
|
The Label Cassette will partially eject (@ 1 - 2”). |
|
2. |
Grasp the Label Cassette and slide it out the front. |

2.Slide the Label Cassette out the front.
3.Lift up on the metal “L-shaped” piece (called the TakeUp Key) to remove any remaining labels and the backing paper from the label roll.
4.Remove the label roll and dispose.

Loading Labels |
There are several different ways to load labels into the |
|
Quantum, depending on your mode of operation, label |
|
|
|
stock and printing needs. |
You can:
♦Load narrow or standard Die-Cut Labels for single or multiple transactions
♦Stream Die-Cut Labels for Bakery Printer Applications
♦Load Continuous Label Stock
♦Load Listing Paper
♦Load Linerless Label Stock
The following paragraphs describe how to load the label stock for your desired method of operation.
Note
If you want to change label stock, contact your local Hobart
Service Office to make the necessary adjustments.
Your Hobart Representative can create custom labels to accommodate your unique merchandising needs.

General Information |
Quantum Scale System
Loading Standard or Narrow |
To load die-cut labels into the scale: |
|
Die-Cut Labels |
1. |
Remove the labels from the first ten (10) inches of the |
|
||
|
|
label roll. |
|
2. |
Place the roll of labels on the Hub in the Label Cassette. |
|
3. |
Thread the Leader between the Peel Bar and the Cassette |
|
|
Housing. |
|
4. |
Wrap the Leader around the Take-Up Spool. |
|
5. |
Slide the Take-Up Key onto the Take-Up Spool, making |
|
|
sure that it is on the outside of the leader. |
|
6. |
Turn the Take-Up Spool counterclockwise to remove |
|
|
any slack in the label stock liner. |
|
7. |
Replace the Label Cassette. |
General Information |
2 - 10 |
Quantum Scale System
Streaming Die-Cut Labels |
In most bakery printer applications, the process of printing |
(Bakery Printer Applications) |
multiple labels can be speeded up by arranging the labels to |
|
print in the Streaming Mode. This simply means that you |
|
arrange the Label Roll so that it prints a label and then |
|
“spits” it out the front of the scale with the backing paper |
|
still attached. You might use it for example, when you need |
|
to print 100 labels for bread. All the operator has to do after |
|
the labels print is remove the label from the backing paper |
|
and apply it to the package. |
|
If you don’t set up the scale to print in the streaming mode, |
|
the scale would either print labels one at a time and wait for |
|
the operator to remove it or it would just start printing |
|
labels without waiting for the operator to remove the |
|
previous one before printing the next. As you might have |
|
guessed, this can be quite a mess to correct. |
To set-up the Quantum to print in the Streaming Mode:
1.Place the roll of labels on the Hub in the Label Cassette.
2.Thread the Leader so that the Labels come out the front of the Label Cassette.
3.Replace the Label Cassette.

|
||
|
|
label roll, tear it off and discard. |
|
2. |

|
3. |
Thread the Leader between the Peel Bar and the Cassette |
|
|
Housing. |
|
4. |
Wrap the Leader around the Take-Up Spool. |
|
5. |
Slide the Take-Up Key onto the Take-Up Spool, making |

sure that it is on the outside of the leader. |
|
6. |
Turn the Take-Up Spool counterclockwise to remove |
|
|
any slack in the label stock liner. |
|
7. |
Replace the Label Cassette. |
Loading Listing Paper Stock |
To load Listing Paper: |
|
|
1. |

|
||
|
|
on the base of the scale. |
|
2. |
Slide the Label Cassette into the Printer Area. The |
|
|
motion should be similar to closing a cash register |
|
|
drawer. |
|
3. |
There will be a slight resistance the last 1 - 2” of travel as |
|
|
the mechanism engages. |
|
4. |
Press it firmly until you hear the cassette latch lock into |
|
|
place. |
Note
One or two blank labels will be discharged as the system determines the size of labels in use. Remove and discard these labels.
