2.1 Box Contents
Pictured above are the contents that come with the LP-2. The scale comes with one roll of LST-8010
labels already installed and ready to use. It also comes with the software which can be used to
program the scale using the RS-232C cable, which is also included. It is important to note that the RS232 cable is a Y cable, with 3 connections. The 25 pin connector is no longer used, but is included for
possible future use. The scale also comes with a tear bar (not pictured) which is used for continuous
strip labels. A CAT-5 or Ethernet crossover cable, which can also be used to connect to a PC can be
purchased from your authorized CAS dealer.

2 Unpacking and Assembly
2 .2 Assembly of Display Column
1) You mu st follow the instructions in this sect ion in order to assemble the Display Assembly properl y. To
begin the installation, make sure that the scale is unplugged from any electrical source. Your scale
body has a display column bracket in the rear that the display column slides into. (See fig.)
2) Hold the display assembly in front of you such that the display assembly forms the figure “7”. Next,
with the scale’s keyboard facing you, insert the display column into the display bracket. When the
display column reaches the bottom of the display bracket, you will “feel” the connectors “snap”
together. (See fig.)
3) Underneath the display bracket you will find 2 screw holes for the display assembly screws. Insert
and fasten the 2 display assembly screws. You are done! (See fig.)

3.1 Environmental Considerations & Safety
1) Please avoid the following hostile conditions:
Temperatures below or exceeding:
-10º C ~ 40º C (14º F ~ 104º F)
Excessive vibration Unstable or flimsy surface
Wi nd or fans functioning in direct
contact with weighing platform.
Direct sunlight Dust or dirt
High humidity Poor ventilation
2) Environmental Protection: The scale should be installed in a dry and liquid free environment. When
the scale is installed in a high humidity or wet-type environment, be sure to avoid spilling or spraying
directly on any surface of the scale.
3) Personal Safety: It is extremely important to be aware of personal safety whenev er maintaining or
operating this equipment. Wherever possible, we have tried to place warning labels and other
indicators at the actual location on the equipment where the danger is most likely to occur.
However, it is not always possible to foresee all dangerous sit uat ions. Warnings and cautions that are
necessary for the safe operation of the scale are contained in this manual. Please, make sure to
carefully read ALL warnings and cautions before operating the scale.
4) Observe the following safety precautions:
Shut the scale OFF and unplug the scale whenever you are changing the label
roll or whenever working in the printer bay.
The outlet that the scale is plugged into, should be properly grounded.
Whenever connecting or disconnecting ANY cables from the scale, be sure to
hold the cables by the end connector. Failure to do so may cause a short
circuit.
Maintain a static free work area.
Never use any other equipment on the same line: it should be a dedicated line.
The outlet used must have the proper voltage ratings.
Ungrounded electrical outlet
Shared electrical outlet

3 Proper Operation
3.2 Leveling and Location
1) Location: This scale must be placed on a flat and stable surface. Please keep the scale away
from the direct path of oscillating fans, vent ilation systems, or strong drafts as these air disturbances
can be picked-up by the scale’s very sensitiv e weighing platform and may cause incorrect weight
readings.
2) Leveling:If the scale is not properly leveled, please adjust the 4 adjustable legs at the bott om of
the scale. Turn the legs clockwise or counterclockwise so as to center the bubble of the leveling
gauge inside the indicated circle. Turning t he adju st abl e legs count er-cl ockwise (viewed from top of
scale) will lower that part of the scale. Turning the adjustable legs cl ockwise (viewed from top of
scale) will raise that part of the scale. (See Fig.)

3 Proper Operation
3.3 Don’ts
DO NOT subject the platter to sudden shocks.
DO NOT drop anything on the platter.
DO NOT store any thermal labels where they may be subject to:
direct sunlight
high humidity
high temperature
dust.
DO NOT press the keys excessively hard. The keys will operate
correctly if they are pressed lightly. If any keys fail to work, contact
your Authorized CAS Dealer.
DO NOT hold or attempt to carry the scale by the Pole Display.
DO NOT pour water or ANY liquid directly on the scale.
DO NOT use any label media that is not recommended by CAS Corp.
DO NOT attempt to effect repairs to this equipment. Doing so is
against the law in most states. If any fault occurs that cannot be
rectified using this manual, unplug the scale and contact you
Authorized CAS Dealer.

3 Proper Operation
3.4 Cleaning and Maintenance
1) The LP-2’s exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Do not spray
any chemicals directly onto the LP-2. Always spray any cleaning liquids onto t he cloth rag you are
using to wipe the scale clean. Remember NEVER to hose-down the scale. Before doing any type
of cleaning, always make sure that the scale is turned OFF using the side COM Port Access Panel
ON/OFF switch. Using the keyboard’s ON/OFF switch is NOT enough.
The keyboards should be cleaned with a damp cloth rag soaked in a mild soap solution.
Never spray water or any liquid directly on to the keyboard as these may cause damage to the
keyboard’s seal and then further damage individual keys. DO NOT use solvents, harsh, or abrasive
chemicals or cleaning devices as these may discolor and even completely remove the trim paint
on the keyboards. If you require more thorough cleaning, contact your local Authorized CAS
Dealer for service.
The displays should be cleaned with a damp cloth rag soaked in a mild soap solution.
Never spray water or any liquid directly on to the displays as these may cause damage to the
display’s seal and possibly short out the scale’s electronic components. Also, these displays use
very high voltages so special care should be taken never to wet them. DO NOT use solvents, harsh,
or abrasive chemicals as these may discolor and even completely remove the wording on the
displays. If you require more thorough cleaning, contact your local Authorized CAS Dealer for
service.
2) To clean the LP-2’s platter, please make sure that the scale is turned OFF using the side COM Port
Access Panel ON/OFF switch. Using the keyboard’s ON/OFF switch is NOT enough. First, remove
the platter from the platform and place it in a large tub or sink. You can wash it down with soap
and high-pressure water and/or hot water. Before replacing the platter on the platform, make sure
that it is completely dry.
3) The printer compartment also needs cleaning; however, this process requires more careful
cleaning. There are many sensitive parts as well as moving parts in the printer bay. Whenever
doing anything in the printer bay, please make sure that the scale is turned OFF using the side
COM Port Access Panel ON/OFF switch. Using the keyboard’s ON/OFF switch is NOT enough.
To begin, turn the scale OFF via the ON/OFF switch located on the left side of the scale in
the COM Port Access Panel. Next, open and remove the Printer Side Access Panel. With a small
brush or toothbrush, remove all of the debris that has accumulated on the base of the printer bay.
DO NOT attempt to remove any dirt or debris from anywhere else in the printer bay area. If you
require more thorough cleaning, contact your local Authorized CAS Dealer for service. If you
attempt to effect cleaning of other printer parts yourself, you risk damage to components or even
electrical shock regardless of the scale’s ON/OFF status.
4) The thermal print head also requires cleaning. It is recommended to clean the thermal print head
every time you replace the label roll. You can clean the thermal print head with a cotton swab
dipped in either a mild soap solution or isopropyl alcohol.

3 Proper Operation
3.5 Power Outlet Requirements
The LP-2 is designed to be used almost anywhere in the world! Like the many appliances of today,
the LP-2 is designed with an automatically switching power supply. This allows operation when
connected to an AC source from 85V to 240V at 50/60Hz with 5% tolerance.
Remember: a switching power supply does not imply that bad, noisy, or improperly wired power
lines will be problem free. With that in mind, please make sure that the power lines used for the LP2 are dedicated lines with no high-noise devices (such as compressors, motors, etc) running on it.
Also, make sure that the wiring to the electrical socket is correct. If you are uncertain as to the
state of your business’ electrical lines, please contact a certified electrician.
1) Once you are sure as to the safety of the electrical line, make sure to ONLY plug the scale into a 3prong outlet. The third prong is a safety ground and an electrician should properly wire t his if it is
not correct or if you are unsure. Failure t o this CAN result in el ectrical shock from use of this or any
electronic scale.
2) Do not use any 3-prong to 2-prong adapters or break-off the third prong from the LP-2 power cord.
The third prong is necessary and must be properly connected.
3) If you have any problems or questions regarding this matter, make sure to consult an Authorized
CAS Dealer or an electrician.

3 Proper Operation
Note: Be sure to check the LP-2’s serial number plate on the back of the scale for power specifications.

5 Quick Set-Up
5.1 Installation of the Label Roll
To install the label roll at ANY time you must follow the directions in this section:
1) Press the ON/OFF key and make sure that the display is completely off. Open the printer’s sideaccess panel. As you can see, there is a detailed diagram affixed onto the inside of the sideaccess panel. Use this diagram (or this manual) for future reference on how to properly install the
label roll. (See fig.)
2) Find and remove t he Pick-Up Spool assembly and the label-roll Pin. Also, find the Print Head Release
Lever and push it in the direction indicat ed. The print head will be in the “UP” position. I f there were
any labels previously installed please remove all the collected backing paper from the Pick-Up Spool
assembly. The Pick-Up Spool assembly automatically collapses when it is removed from the Pick-Up
shaft. This makes the removal of the backing paper very simple. Also remove the cardboard paper
roll core if there was a label roll previously installed. (See fig.)
27
5 Quick Set-Up
3) Take the new roll of labels and find the ending. Peel-off and discard about one foot (12 inches) of
labels from the backing before installing the roll into the scale. Place the label in the scale as shown
and thread the backing through the appropriate places. (See fig.)
4) Please view the checkpoints on the diagram below as you read these directions to thread the labels.
c Feed the backing paper over the width-adjusting Pressure Shaft lifting the Pressure Plate in order to
place the backing between the two making sure that the width adjustment is as exact as possible
without bending the backing paper.
d Feed the backing paper inside the slot between the Gap sensor assembly making sure that the
labels travel under the Secondary width-adjuster.
Make sure that labels are not pushed all the way to the left on the Peel-Off bar. Leave about ¼ inch
space left of the backing paper
f Feed the backing over the Rubber Roller and under the Print Head being careful not to touch the
underside of the Print Head.
g Continue to feed the backing paper over the Peel-off Bar.
h Continue to feed it under the Return Roller.
i Feed the backing under and around the Pick-Up Shaft.
j Now attach the Pick Up Spool assembly onto the Pick-Up Shaft and turn it slowly counterclockwise in
order to tighten the backing paper.
5) Push the Print Head down in order to lock it back in place. You will feel and hear it lock in place.
Close the printer access panel and press the ON/OFF key. You have completed the label roll
installation. (See fig.)
