1. Using Your Machine
About your Machine
The scale is intended to be custom programmed to suit the circumstances that you will be using it in and that means that the display may appear different to that shown in these instructions. If you have questions about custom features not covered here ask your manager or supervisor for further help.
Safety Warnings
Safe Installation
The mains plug must be inserted into a socket outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
CAUTION: The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket outlet. Permanently connected equipment must have a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the fixed wiring.
USA
If the scale is connected to a 240V supply, the receptacle must be protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
Safe use
CAUTION: To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the machine and
isolate from the power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance.
To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a flat and level surface.
Take care when placing large, heavy produce such as water melons on the weigh plate so that they do not roll off the machine.
Cleaning the machine
CAUTION: Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing soda, should
not be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to wipe the inside of the machine.
The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth moistened with water containing a small amount of washing up liquid. The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with water containing a small amount of a proprietary detergent.
Touch Screen Cleaning
When cleaning the touch screen use the Clean Screen function to avoid problems such as transactions accidentally being performed during the clean or having to turn off the scale:
1. Press the Sidebar button to the right of the screen. the sidebar menu should open.
2. Press User Functions.
3. Press Clean Screen. The screen will go white and the touch function will be disabled.
4. Clean the screen.
5. Shortly after you stop cleaning a countdown will be displayed. To interrupt the countdown
resume cleaning. Once the countdown reaches 0 the screen will return to normal.
Training
Do not attempt to operate or carry out any procedure on a machine or network unless you have received the appropriate training or read the Instruction Books.
Ergonomics
To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it is important to ensure that the machine is placed on a surface which is ergonomically satisfactory to the user. It is recommended that frequent breaks are taken during prolonged usage.
EMC compliance
The following warning may be applicable to your machine.
WARNING: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Levelling the Scale
The scale automatically compensates when it is not level.
If the scale is out of level by more than 5° the ValuMax indicator shows a red cross in the display screen status bar. The onscreen display shows the amount of adjustment needed in the X and Y directions to level it exactly.
The scale has four levelling feet to enable manual levelling up to 10mm in any direction.
Any angle up to 5° is considered to be level. Any angle above 5° out of level automatically displays the Level Scale screen and you will not be able to trade until it is correct.
Using the Keyboard & Display

Using the Printer
Changing the Label Roll
Label rolls have a return spindle to hold the backing paper.
1. Remove the print cassette by pulling the red handle until it clicks and then slide the cassette out
from the scale.
2. Remove the old label roll core and backing paper. Check that the new label roll is of the right
type and size and insert the roll into the cassette.
3. Peel off several labels so that you have a long section of backing paper. Feed the paper into the
slots of the spindle, then back around the spindle so that the paper is firmly trapped.
Note: The backing paper can be very slippery, so wind the paper around the spindle several times before slotting the cassette back into place
The following diagram shows the full path of the label:
4. Replace the cassette into the scale and push the red handle to lock the cassette into place.
Changing a Receipt Roll
Label rolls have a return spindle to hold the backing paper.
1. Remove the print cassette by pulling the red handle until it clicks and then slide the cassette out
from the scale.
2. Remove the old receipt roll core. Check that the receipt roll is of the right type and size and
insert the roll into the cassette.
3. Thread the receipt through the cassette:
4. Replace the cassette into the scale and push the red handle to lock the cassette into place.
Receipt Only Printers
Receiptonly printers use continuous paper rolls, including linerless adhesive paper, with a cassette system for ’r;drop in’ printer loading.
1. Turn the handle of the cassette anti‐clockwise and pull it out.
2. Remove the empty core and replace it with a full roll. The yellow label on the cassette shows the
route for the paper.
3. Replace the cassette and turn the handle clockwise to lock.
2. Serving Customers
Searching for a PLU
All products have a unique PLU (Product Look Up) number associated with them. PLUs provide a fast way to recall product data for regular product lines.
There are four ways to select the PLU you want:
1. Select the product from the touchscreen.
2. Use the fixed numeric keys to enter the PLU number.
3. Use the PLU search function.
4. Scan the product barcode.
If the product you require is not displayed on the screen and you know the PLU number, you can enter the PLU number from the fixed keypad.
If departments are set up for the system, you can enter the PLU number from the fixed keypad provided it is in the department currently set on the scale.
Searching by PLU Number
1. Press
2. Enter the PLU Number. The product is now ready for use.
Searching by Description
1. Press
2. Type the description. The list of products is progressively filtered by your text. For example,
typing 'Gold' finds all products that start with: Gold and Golden.
Searching by Department
When you use the PLU search function to find a PLU, the products are listed by department. By default, the currently selected department for trading is displayed. Use the left and right green arrows at the top of the page change department.
Using a Barcode Scanner
If the scale has a barcode scanner, you can scan the product barcode to automatically select the PLU.
Barcode Scanning
In order to do barcode scanning, you must have a barcode scanner installed, and receipts and labels configured to have barcodes printed on them.
Use the barcode scanner at the scale to read barcodes:
On products
On labels
On counter receipts: Barcodes are a convenient way to ensure that labels or counter receipts
printed in one section of the store are correctly added to the customer's receipt at the checkout.
Important: Check that the scale selects the correct PLU.
When the scanner successfully reads the barcode, it bleeps.
Scanning barcodes means:
You do not have to enter product numbers or select a PLU.
At a Point of Sale (PoS) scale or checkout, you can scan customer numbers from subtotal counter
receipts to add them to the sales total receipt.
With the subtotal displayed, you can scan the barcode on promotional vouchers to automatically
deduct the voucher value.
About Operating Modes
The scale can be set to operate in either Label or Receipt mode depending on the role that the machine is to perform with the store. Both modes have a number of sub settings which determine how the scale will operate. These settings can be adjusted by using the Print Mode Setup key which appears on the Home Screen.
Label Mode
There are three parts to label mode:
Checkout Mode
Checkout mode sets whether the scale is used by:
Checkout No Float: A single operator who logson at the start of their shift, and transactions are automatically assigned to them. The operator cannot 'float' from one machine to another.
Checkout Disable: Multiple operators.
Operator Keys
This is usually used in conjunction with Checkout Mode Disabled, and sets whether no operator log on is required, or whether each operator must logon, and transactions are assigned to them.
Print Mode
There are three options for this:
Print on Request: The label is printed when the print button is touched by the operator.
Print Immediate: The label is printed as soon as a steady weight is achieved without any intervention from the operator.
Prepack: A label is printed automatically for the selected product each time the weight changes.

Dynamic Key Columns
Touch Menus (Keyboards)
Touch menus define how the static keyboards are configured.
The Home keyboard configuration determines which top level keyboard each machine displays.
Home Keyboard Selection
There are two types of Home keyboard:
Bestseller Keyboards. Bestseller keyboards consist of one single keyboard of bestselling items.
Products are automatically added to and deleted from the bestseller keyboard according to the number of transactions for each product. Factors such as the time period for recalculating bestseller keys, and a weighting for achieving bestseller status controls which products are placed on the bestseller keyboard and how long the product remains there. When a bestseller keyboard is recalculated, products remaining on the keyboard retain their key position.
Static Keyboards. Static Keyboards and keyboard systems are wholly or partially defined manually. The term Static Keyboard can be misleading as you can have a Static Keyboard that is populated with one of more dynamic keys, which provides highly dynamic functionality, see Dynamic Keyboards. There are two types of static keyboard:
Operator Keyboard. Operator keyboards only contain either operator buttons, or links to other
keyboards.
PLU Keyboard. PLU keyboards can contain any type of button, such as a product, bestseller key,
function key or operator key. PLU Keyboards can have both dynamic keys, which makes them into Dynamic Keyboards, and Bestseller keys.
In addition to the Home Keyboard, you can edit the functionality of:

Print Formats
This sets the SubTotal Receipt Format.
Subtotal receipts are customer receipts which can be printed for later recall using the customer number which is printed on the receipt. The data printed on the subtotal receipt is determined by the Subtotal Receipt Format.
There are two settings available:
Subtotal Summary Prints a short summary containing just the data essential to reopen the receipt.
Subtotal Itemised Prints an itemised receipt detailing all the transactions.
Date Configuration
There is one option for Print Formats: Late Pack Hour:
Setting the Date and Time
The scale has an internal clock that stores the date and time, which is printed on labels and reports. The scale also calculates sellby dates, see Date 1 & 2 Offsets in Create/Edit Products.
When you set the date and time on the server scale, any client scales synchronises to it.
> >
1
Late Pack Hour
If an item is packed late at night, this setting allows an extra day to be added to the useby date. For example, if a bakery item is packed at 23:00, the use by date can be set an extra day ahead in order not to waste a day when the item is packed very late.
Barcode Configuration
Barcodes Configuring Labels and Receipts
Adding Barcodes to Labels
There are two configuration settings that determine whether labels are printed with a barcode:
If both the Machine Setting is set to None and the Product > Barcode Format is set to None, then the label does not have a barcode.
If the Machine Setting is set to a barcode format and the PLU Barcode format is set to None, the label has the machine setting barcode.
If the Machine Setting is set to a barcode format and the PLU Barcode format is set to a different barcode format, the label has the PLU setting barcode. That is, the PLU setting overrides the machine setting.

Talon Barcod e
A talon is a receipt slip showing the price to pay and an optional barcode. It is typically used when an order is placed and the customer has to return at a later time or date to collect it. A talon matches the customer order to the goods to be collected. In sales mode, when talon printing is enabled, the talon is printed after the receipt, after a twosecond delay, to allow the operator time to tear off the receipt. If the receipt has not been torn off after the two second delay, the operator is prompted to do so.

Bestseller Keyboards
Bestseller keyboards consist of one single keyboard of bestselling items. There is only one bestseller product keyboard on the scale.
Products are automatically added to and deleted from the bestseller keyboard according to the number of transactions for each product. Factors such as the time period for recalculating bestseller keys, and a weighting for achieving bestseller status controls which products are placed on the bestseller keyboard and how long the product remains there. When a bestseller keyboard is recalculated, products remaining on the keyboard retain their key position.
If you need to change the design of the bestseller keyboards, you must change the scale setting so that it is set to a static keyboards, change the design or layout, then change the scale back to bestseller keyboards.
You can add Bestseller keys to the home screen and Dynamic Menus to link to products representing in a particular group or department. The advantage with this approach is that all your keyboards are automatically populated with the bestselling products. You are more likely to find the right product in a shorter amount of time, and no manual maintenance of the keyboard is required.
The options for a bestseller keyboard are: how many products to display, the day and time to update the keyboard and how often to update it.

3COM 3CRUSBN275
•Edimax EW‐7711UAn
•Edimax EW‐7612UAn V2
Each machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets.

5ISC Machine Type
6Short Machine ID
Before setting up an instore network or connecting to, obtain the appropriate IP addresses from the store IT administrator. Enter the addresses at the machines before connecting to the network.
To access the wireless network setup:
1. Press
>>>
Basic setup
Note: Changes to any wireless settings can take several minutes to take effect on the network. When
connecting to a computer, it may be useful to refresh the computer network connections.
Advanced (Security Settings)
The fields in the advanced settings are for the wireless network security settings
Default settings
Default settings for wireless are shown in the wireless setup menu when nothing has been programmed. The values must be entered before they become active:
Security Mode: WPA2
ESSID: admin
Password: administrator
1IP Address
The static IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the scale consists of two parts, the network address and the machine address. The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the same network. The machine address must be different from the other machines on the same network. Note: If a wireless adaptor is present, the wireless IP address is shown in preference on the taskbar.
2Sub‐net Mask
The subnet mask identifies which part of the IP Address is the network Address, and which part is the machine address. For example: The subnet mask 255.255.0.0 sets the network address part as the first two sets of numbers of the IP address, which makes the last two sets of numbers the machine address. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then the first three sets of numbers are the network address, and the last set is the machine address.
3Gateway
A gateway enables networks using different protocols to communicate.
4MAC Address
Media Access Control address. Cannot be changed.
5DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If the network infrastructure has a server that dynamically allocates IP addresses (DHCP server), then set this to enabled, otherwise, set to disabled for a static IP address. If this is set to enabled, you must give the scale a computer name. The computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: If DCHP is enabled, then the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway are set to 0.
1 ESSID
The Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID) name of the wireless network.
2PSK
The password to connect to the wireless network (Preshared Key).
Load Configuration File
This loads the wpa_supplicant.conf from the root of a memory stick and stored on the machine. The basic setup security mode is set to 'Loaded Config File' so there is no need for the user to do this separately.
The wpa_supplicant.conf file contains the wireless settings in the format recognised by the standard wpa supplicant program. This allows connection to wireless networks using a RADIUS authentication server.
Wireless Diagnostics
These provide diagnostic information which may be helpful when troubleshooting the wireless network:
>>>>
Run Diagnostics: This lists the signal quality and other wireless settings.
Wireless Network: Scan If a wireless adaptor is present, this
Save Diagnostics: File Saves the diagnostics file to a USB memory stick (if present).
Wired Networks
This is where the scale is connected through a network ethernet cable to either a computer or one or more other scales.
Each machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets.
Before connecting to, or setting up an instore network, obtain the appropriate IP addresses from the store IT administrator. Enter the addresses at the machines before connecting to the network.

5 DCHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If the network infrastructure has a server that dynamically allocates IP addresses (DHCP server), then set this to enabled, otherwise, set to disabled for a static IP address. If this is set to enabled, you must give the scale a computer name The computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: If DCHP is enabled, then the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway are set to 0.
Sub‐net mask 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 Network address 88.0.0.0 88.1.0.0 88.1.1.0 Machine address 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7
1 Computer Name
This applies to scales on networks with DHCP enabled. The computer name identifies the scale even if the IP address changes. If DCHP is enabled, then the computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: Even if DCHP is not enabled, the computer name is used as the identifier for the scale that is connected to a network. For example, when connected to a computer.

This is the TCP/IP port number used to communicate with a PC running MX software applications.
4
Search Domain Name
Displays the humanreadable domain name for the scale that is needed in order to access the web browser.
57DNS Server 1‐3
This translates the humanreadable domain name into the IP address. It is automatically set up when DHCP is enabled.
8Proxy Server
This is a network server used for web security purposes.
Server Scale
To make the machine a server scale
1. Press >
2. Select 2: ISC Machine Type.
3. Set the Machine to Server.
Networking ISC Machine Type
The machine network system in a store can consist of a mixture of label and receipt machines. The system supports any combination of machines in the XM and XT ranges (If they have the same software version).
Scale networks can be connected in a wired or wireless ethernet setup. Scales can be set up as:
StandAlone: Each scale is independent. Communication is only possible to a back office system.
Server/Client: One or more client scales receives its data from a server scale. The number of clients
that can be supported on a network depends on server performance.
A back office host can communicate with the server which will then communicate with the clients.
Scales set up in such a way can share resources and information (operators, PLUs, and so on). Local price and product updates can be made at any of the scales. Floating vendor is possible, whereby an operator moves from one scale to another, picking up live transactions from a particular customer at the scale they have moved to.
MultiServer: Each scale is configured as a server. If there is a back office software application this communicates with all the scales.
Each scale holds its own product file and floating vendor is not possible.
1Network ID
Network ID is the equivalent of the Peer ID, but for Server Client networks. It identifies which machines are in the same logical network. For example, a large department with smaller counters. All machines are physically connected on the Ethernet network but only the machines with a matching network ID connect to each other as a server client network.
2
ISC Machine Type
Sets the type of machine: Standalone Scale: There is no ISC (Inter Scale Communications). Host communications (For example, from a computer) is direct to the scale. Server Scale: This is the host scale, and most data is replicated to the client scales. Client Scale Peer Group Scale: Only local price changes are distributed to other machines with the same Peer ID. This is typically for a label system where local price changes need to be distributed to other machines on the same counter. For example, on a deli counter. The machine type is shown on the taskbar.
3 Peer Group ID
Identifies which peer group the scale belongs to. For example, you can have a storewide network that is divided into groups by giving each group its own peer ID.
4
Short Machine ID
A twodigit machine ID that is shown on the taskbar.
Peer Group: Each scale is configured as a server in the same way as a multiserver network but local price and product updates can be made at any scale and communicated across the scales configured within the same peer group.

Description (Computer Name)
This applies to scales on networks with DHCP enabled. The computer name identifies the scale even if the IP address changes. If DCHP is enabled, then the computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: Even if DCHP is not enabled, the computer name is used as the identifier for the scale that is connected to a network. For example, when connected to a computer.

Assigning a PLU to a Group
Groups are a way to categorise products, for example, red meat, fish or bread.
Groups have two purposes:
1. To report on totals for all products per group. For example, sales value for all products in the Beef
Group.
2. You can design a keyboard with the top level keyboard with just the Group keys, see Touch
Menus (Keyboards). For example, Fruit & Veg, Meats and so on. Each Group key is a link to another keyboard with either a subgroup or all products in that group.
For example. Meat > Beef > Sirloin Steak.
Prerequisites
The following must be done before assigning a product to a group:
11 Promotion Type
If Promotion is enabled, this sets the type of promotion.

Mix and Match Offers
Mix and Match offers are a special type of promotion that applies when the customer purchases a specified number of a combination of items. This type of offer is only applicable to non weighed products that are sold with the machine in receipt mode.
The scale processes all items in the receipt and then allocates them to any active offers that will result in a saving to the customer. The items are allocated to the offers in such a way as to give the customer the best possible savings.
Products can have quantity break promotions and be part of a mix and match offer at the same time. Provided the conditions for each promotion are met then both may be applicable.

An offer can be one of four types:
1. Fixed Price – where all of the qualifying items are sold for a fixed price. The saving amount is the
total of all of the qualifying items less the fixed price.
2. Money off – where the normal total sales value of all of the qualifying items is reduced by an
amount. The saving is the money off value.
3. Discount – where the total of all of the qualifying items is discounted by a percentage value. The
saving amount is the total price – the discounted price.
4. Free Gift – where the cheapest item in the gift list which is in the receipt and not already given
in another offer is given free. The saving value is the value of the free gift.
An offer becomes satisfied when the number of items sold in each of the qualifying lists matches the purchase quantity. In the case of a free gift the offer only results in a saving if one of the items in the gift list is included in the basket. If it is, it will be given free.
Notes:
An Item cannot be included in more than one qualifying group for the same offer.
Calculating offers is processor intensive and can effect the scales performance if a large number of offers with a large number of qualifying items are active. To avoid performance problems keep the number of live offers to a minimum. Offers that are currently not live can be disabled by linking to a time period which in the past. In addition, limit the total number of qualifying items to less than 30 for the XT scale and less than 10 for the XM scale.
In multi operator mode the auto subtotal display can be disabled ensuring the offers are only calculated once at payment time.
Product Lines and Offer Groups
Before setting up a mix and match offer you will need to create one or more Offer Groups. These are lists of the products that are to be included in the offer. At least one and a maximum of 5 qualifying product lines must be programmed for every Offer Group.
If an Offer Group has just one product the scale will operate in the same way as it does with existing PLU based promotions. (nonweighed offers only)
If multiple products have been added then the purchase quantity applies to each of the lines and offer only applies when all of the qualifying lines are purchased. This type of offer is typically used in meal deals.
Where an offer requires different number of items to be purchased for each list then the same qualifying line can be used more than once. For instance, “buy 2 starters and a main course” can be setup by setting the purchase quantity as 1 and assigning 2 starter product lines and 1 main product line as the qualifying products.
To set up Product Lines:
1. Press > >
2. Press followed by .
3. From this screen you can add, remove or edit the Offer Groups that can be applied to the offer.

Mix and Match Offer Rules
When multiple offers are in operation, calculating which combination provides the best value can be complex. The scale operates the following frules for Mix and Match Offers:
Products can be programmed against multiple offers but once specific item has been used to satisfy an offer then the same item will not be used to satisfy another offer. Items that can potentially be used to satisfy more than one offer shall be used against the offer resulting in the maximum customer saving.
For Example:
Melons are £1.20 each
Offer 1: 3 for 2 melon offer
Offer 2: Buy 2 melons for £2.00
Customer has 4 melons.
Allocating 3 melons to offer 1 would result in one free melon and a saving of £1.20
Allocating 2 melons to offer 2 would result in a saving of £0.40
Therefore 3 of the 4 melons will be allocated to offer 1 and 1 melon will be charged at £1.20
A free gift offer will always result in the cheapest item being given free.
PLU based offers using the existing promotions can apply at the same time as offer based promotions. E.g. a product may be on 2 for 1 offer and also part of a meal deal.
Offer calculations shall be independent of the order in which the items are transacted.
Offers are only relevant to receipt mode operation.
Mix and Match in Operation
When a transaction results in an offer becoming applicable a message showing the details will be displayed on the customer’s and operator’s screens.
The savings from each offer will be listed on the receipt after the transactions.
The total savings can be printed as message on the receipt using a substitution code.
A management report is available to help you determine the effectiveness of the promotions. The report provides the following data for each offer.
•Offer ID
•Offer Description
Offer Period
Number of times the offer was given
Sales value of items (standard sales value of the items)
Cost of the offer (Sum of all the savings made)
Note: Any tax calculations used to print the tax summary on the receipt and the tax report take into account the savings given and reduce the tax declaration accordingly.
