SWITCHING ON

For switching-on the scale, put to on position the switch which is placed at the scale left side,
under the bottom plate.

After switching on, the scale carries out an automatic routine test cycle; the digits from 0 to 9, with
comma and LED lights are represented on the display, then the display switches off for a few
seconds.

After the test cycle is over (in 15 seconds approx.) if the scale detects no anomalies, the weight is
reset to “0” and then the scale is ready to be used.

The zeros, corresponding to weight, price and total can be visualised on the display as follows:

0, 0 0 0 0 0

Networked scales

If the scale is to be used on-line with other scales, a test of network connection is carried out as it
is switched-on, after the routine test cycle. The message LOOKING FOR SCALES is represented
on the display. If all the scales pre-programmed to work on-line turn out to be actually linked, the
scale exits the search condition and can work regularly.

Contrarily, the message continues being displayed and the addresses of the scales which, although
programmed in network configuration, result to be disconnected, are visualised by pressing <C>:

S C A L E S M I S S I N G

n n n n n n n n n n n

where:
n = network address of absent scales

By pressing <PRINT> the current network configuration is accepted and the scale is enabled to
normal work. The pressure of any other key reactivates the search of the network-linked scales.

Weight different from zero

If, during the test cycle, the scale detects a floating weight (for example caused by an accidental
bump into the platter) the message CHECK CONVERTER is displayed. When the weight
stabilises, then the scale returns to its original condition. If the weight cannot stabilise call for
technical service.

If during the test cycle a weight lower than “0” is found, the message ZERO SETTING will be
displayed and the scale remains on a standby state until reset to zero is carried out. The occurrence
may be caused by the weighing platter badly positioned, or missing.

When the weight automatic reset procedure is completed, and the scale is ready to start working,
the zeros for weight, price and total are visualised on the display. Now, weight is correctly
indicated as any item is put on the platter.

UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0 PAGE 9

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES

The DSP500 scale has a set of 3 special features which the user should be immediately aware of:

MAPPING OPERATOR KEYS (and other “optional” keys)

Only the standard set of keys have a pre-defined lay-out on the keyboard, although modifiable. The
operator keys are, for instance, not mapped into any default position. So one or more operator keys
(up to 20) must be mapped onto the keyboard to be able to work (unless working with labels or
single-item receipts and only a single pre-set operator id.).
Programming function 07 KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS (see chapter on PROGRAMMING)
accomplishes this task. To any of the available key-functions a function-code is associated (e.g.
<OP. KEY 1> = code 131, <OP. KEY 2> = code 132. etc.) and this code is mappable to any of the
actual keyboard keys. The same mechanism is used to map to the keyboard a set of “optional”
keys, as <RETURNS>, <DISCOUNT>, <RECEIPT CORRECTION>, and payment mode keys ­<CASH>, <CHEQUE>, etc.-.
Operator and “optional” keys are normally mapped to any of 99 generic white keys available. The
same applies for the PLU hot-shot keys. However there is no constraint on key mapping, and also
the pre-set coloured keys can be re-mapped.

PRINTING MODES

There are a number of print modes available (receipt, labels, etc.). Some functions may be
enabled/disabled according to the current mode selected and also the way to accomplish some
tasks may vary accordingly. Here is a list of the print modes available:

1. RECEIPT: a receipt lists all the items sold (possibly returned) to a customer. In this mode a set
of functions are enabled: sub-total, change computation, free rate discount, payment mode
(cash, credit card, cheque, coupon, etc.) and receipt correction after issuing.

2. SINGLE-ITEM RECEIPT: every single-item receipt carries a single item sold. It is very much
like a label in scope, but prints on the same paper-roll used for receipts.

3. LABEL: again single item sales but printed in the typical sticky label paper. In addition the
graphical lay-out is completely programmable: text, bars and boxes positionable and
dimensionable at will.

4. AUTOMATIC LABEL: just like a normal label but printing is obtained simply by putting items
on the print plate, non need to press any key.

5. PRE-PACK LABEL: pre-pack labels are automatic labels to which pre-set tares can be applied
(for pre-packing purposes).

The DSP500 scale can switch between the print modes automatically, recognising up to 3 pre-set
printing modes/paper formats according to a set of identifier marks on the paper cartridges.

“PREFERRED” PRICE SOURCE

The DSP500 scale may operate in “PLU-prone” mode, i.e. optimised for PLU entering (and only
spare use of random-price entries), or in “Random Price prone” mode, i.e. optimised for hand
entering of unit prices (and only spare use of PLU entries).
In “PLU-prone” mode any digit entered on the numeric keypad is by default interpreted as part of a
PLU code. To type in a “random price” the <RP> key must be hit before.
In “Random Price prone” mode any digit entered on the numeric keypad is by default interpreted
as part of a unit price. To type in a PLU code the <PLU> key must be hit before.
The choice between the 2 modes can be set in programming mode to fit the user needs. Hot-shot PLU
keys, if programmed, can be used in both modes.

TARE

T

Tare

Put the container or paper sheet on the scale platter and then press <T> to
subtract tare weight.

The subtracted value is transferred to tare and is no longer displayed. The LED
light NET on signals that the tare is activated.

With automatic weighed tare activated, when the scale platter is unloaded, the
tare weight, preceded by a minus (-) is visualised by the weight display.

FIX

Fixed tare

To store or ‘fix’ the same tare for a number of weighings, press the key <FIX>
that fixes the entered tare. By pressing <FIX> once again, the stored tare is
cleared.

The LED light FIX on signals that the fixed tare is activated.

Clearing tare:

An entered tare value can be cleared by one of the following ways:

• By unloading the goods from platter after the transaction has been printed.

• By loading the platter and then unloading it after that the weight stabilises.

• By pressing the key <T> with gross weight set to zero.

PRE-SET TARE (on Pre-pack only)

A pre-set tare can be assigned to the PLU ,either by entering the tare value through the keyboard
numerical keys (see progr. function 04 MANUAL TARE) or automatically, by weighing the
container (see progr. function 05 WEIGHED TARE).

When the scale is on pre-pack mode, if a PLU with its assigned tare is entered, PT followed by the
tare value expressed in kg. (i.e.: 0.938 kg) is visualised on the display. After a few seconds the
PLU description and the net weight will also be displayed, and the label is printed.

RESET TO ZERO

ZERO

By pressing <ZERO> with the empty platter, the weight is set to zero - provided
that the difference in positive as compared with the weight resulting at switching­on is less that 2 % of the scale max. load capacity (it will be 120 g for the scale
supplied for 6 kg., and 300 g for the scale supplied for 15 kg.). If higher
differences result, switch-off the scale and then switch-on again.

HALF-AUTOMATIC RESET

If the scale detects a weight lower than zero ( initially set, or set later on) , on the display the
weight signalling lights off and just one zero for price remains alighted. If the negative weight is
stable, after some seconds the scale proceeds to automatic weight reset. Even in this case, the
difference compared with the weight resulting at switching-on must be less that 2 % of the scale
max. load capacity (that is:

120 g for the scale supplied for 6 kg., and 300 g for the scale supplied

for

15 kg.). If higher differences result, recalibrate the scale by switching it off and then switching

it on again.

PAGE 12 UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0

PLU RECALL

The daily use of the DSP 500 Scale is based on the PLU, that is on pre-programmed prices.
Each PLU is marked by a numeric code, 1 up to 7 digits long (see function 23 PLU CODE LENGTH).
Up to 3045 PLU can be stored without text (see progr. function 10 PLU EDIT ). If some text for
product description and, where needed, for ingredients is to be added, then the maximum number
of programmable PLU decreases. For example: using 350 characters for item description and
ingredients, the max. number of PLU lower to approximately 450.

Some of these PLU can be associated to the 99 direct recall keys available on the keyboard (see
progr. function 00 DIRECT PLU ).

Attention:

the code number and the dedicated key number are NOT the same (Code
no. 59238 may correspond to key no. 27).

Note that codes 1 and 2 are used by the Random Price functions, and
therefore they cannot be used for PLU.

PLU can be recalled by the two ways reported hereunder:

• directly, by pressing one of the 99 hot-shot keys (fast PLU recall) on the keyboard, if

programmed (see prog. funct. 00 HOT-SHOT KEYS).

• by using the numerical keys + the key <PLU> to confirm the entry. In PLU RECALL

priority the confirmation may also be given without <PLU> key on time-out basis (see
progr. function 22 PLU TIME LIMIT). Remember that codes 1 and 2 cannot be used.

With non-weighed item PLUs just enter the quantity by the numerical keys (if quantity is greater than

1).
When trying a recall for a non-programmed PLU, the message NON AVAILABLE is displayed.
Abort the request and press <C> to continue.

VARIATION OF PLU PRICE

Although making use of all the pre-set codes, the DSP 500 scale offers the possibility to enter a
temporary price variation and keep the PLU description and information at the same time.

SP

SPECIAL PRICE

To change a price associated to a PLU press <SP> (Special Price). The new
price must be higher or equal to the minimum price programmed for that PLU.

Attention! The above function can be selected provided that the
following conditions are present:

• It has been enabled by progr. function 25 OPERATION SETTINGS

• The function “price revision” was enabled when programming the

recalled PLU (see progr. funct. 10 PLU EDIT).

DISCOUNTS

pre-set by quantity

pre-set on single PLUs

free on total amounts

In addition to Special Prices, a PLU unit price can be set to 3 different
amounts, with each amount being automatically used if weight of
quantity is above one of the two thresholds, thus providing
“weight/quantity-based” discount capabilities. The thresholds for
automatic discounts can be specified for each PLU (see funct. 10 PLU

EDIT

).

Discounts can also be provided on a fixed base for each PLU (see funct.

10 PLU EDIT) or freely on the total amount of a receipt (see SUB­TOTAL AND DISCOUNTS

).

UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0 PAGE 13

PRICE VIA KEYBOARD

By this function, the DSP 500 scale offer the possibility to enter non-programmed prices.

The procedures to be followed are slightly different according to the priority that was pre-set
during programming: PLU RECALL or SELECT PRICE (see progr. function 27 OPERATION

MODE

).

SCALE PRE-SET WITH

PLU RECALL PRIORITY SELECT PRICE PRIORITY

RP

(Random Price)

The message

WEIGHED RANDOM
PRICE

is displayed as

key <RP> is pressed.

ENTER PRICE

If the scale was pre-set to work
on SELECT PRICE priority,
enter directly the price you need
by the numerical keys. The
message WEIGHED RANDOM

PRICE

.

Attention: For using this function with
the scale set with PLU RECALL priority, the
possibility to select random prices must have
been expressly programmed (see progr.
function 25 OPERATION SETTINGS). If
after having pressed the key <RP> the
message NOT AVAILABLE is displayed, that
means that the option above was not enabled.
Press <C> to cancel the request.

TIME LIMIT !

A time limit can be programmed between one
entered digit and the successive one (see progr.
function 21 NUMERICAL KEY TIME LIMIT).

Once elapsed that time limit, the entered digit shall
be considered as the beginning of a new price.

HOW TO SELECT PRICE

WEIGHED

RANDOM PRICE

If the item being considered is priced by weight, now enter it.

You can choose the price basis, before entering it, by pressing <PB> to
select between price per kg. or per 100 g., as signalled by the LED lights on
the display (L/kg or L/100g).

Note:

PB

The <PB> is activated only when selecting a random price
(RP), and it must be pressed before entering the price. If you
try setting a price per 100g. after the price has already been
entered, the error signalling SEQUENCE ERROR is
displayed. Press <C> to cancel and then repeat again the
procedure in the correct sequential order, as follows:
<RP> key + <PB> key + price.

NON-WEIGHED

RANDOM PRICE

X

If the item is non-weighed, press<X> after entering the price. The message

NONWEIGH. RAN. PRICE is represented on the display. At the weight

position on the display, the symbol @ lights up, followed by the number 1.
If the quantity of items is more than 1, type in the requested quantity.

PAGE 14 UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0

PRINT LABEL

Three different printing modes are available for labels: “Label” mode, “Automatic Label” mode
and “Pre-pack Label” mode.
The selection of the label printing mode is made during the scale programming phase (see progr:
function 20 RECEIPT / LABEL).

Each PLU includes information on the graphic format of its label (see at the next page). The pre­set format no. 5 is reported in the example shown herebelow:

For label printing, follow the instructions given in the following lines:

LABEL

PRINT

If the scale is set on “Label” printing mode: press the key <PRINT> after having
recalled the PLU you need or having selected Random Price.
The total price is also summed (in the general totals) to the sales attributed to the
operator which has been associated to the paper-cassette in use (see function 20

RECEIPT/LABEL

).

By hitting instead <OP 1> key (up to <OP 20> key, if all 20 operators have been
mapped to some keys in the keyboard) the sale is attributed to the specified operator.

AUTOMATIC

LABEL

In the “Automatic Label” printing mode: labels are printed automatically (without
pressing any key) at each weight variation. No pre-set tare can be used in this
case.

PRE-PACK

LABEL

Also in the “

Pre-pack label” mode labels are printed automatically at each weight

variation.

If a tare value is associated to a recalled PLU, it will replace the existing one and
is visualised for approx. 4 seconds on the display top screen.

The recalled PLU for label issue is deleted each time the scale platter is unloaded ( at each weight
re-zeroing), or by pressing <C>.

Attention:

The label prints only provided that all the following conditions are met:

1. the scale is neither below zero weight nor beyond full scale

2. the computed amount is different from zero and not exceeding the max.
pre-set limit (999.999)

3. the weight is stable and net weight is higher than 0 (for weighed prices)

4. if after the previous printed label there has been a weight variation, or
the scale platter has been unloaded (for weighed prices)

LABEL LAYOUT

The choice of label format is effected by each PLU when programming it (see funct. 10 PLU

EDIT

).
20 Label layouts are available: 10 pre-set layouts, shown on this page, and other 10 user­programmable layouts. The even layouts shown are for non-weighted items, whilst the odd ones are for
weighted items.

RECEIPT TRANSACTIONS

In “Receipt” mode each amount computed by the scale (transaction) must be

stored and assigned to a specific operator.
In case of scales working in network, an amount computed on one scale can be
assigned to any of the link-connected operators.

With the amount displayed on the scale display, press the <OP 1> key, or any
other appropriate operator key (up to <OP 20> key, if all 20 possible operators
have been mapped into the keyboard - see Attention note on operator keys).

The scale confirms by two “beeps” (in addition to the key ‘beep’ signal given out if the function 26

KEYBOARD BUZZER

is enabled) and by briefly showing the message * STORING * on the display.

Attention:

The DSP500 Scale, for printing receipts, requires at least one operator has
been enabled. To enable one or more operators (up to 20 max. ) just assign
the operator identifier to one of the 99 direct keys during programming
(see progr. function 07 KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS).

SUB TOTALS

By pressing the direct key assigned to an operator with no transaction on course, the sub-total of
the current receipt can be visualised on the display. If no receipt is being issued, zero is displayed.

VOID

If the function VOID was enabled during programming (see progr. function 25 OPERATION

SETTINGS

), a sub-total can be subtracted from a receipt on course, or the amount of the last label been

issued can be subtracted.

VOID FOR RECEIPT ON ISSUE

VOID

...

PRINT

VOID

As the key <VOID> is pressed the message ENTER OPERATOR is displayed.
Press the operator key, and the latest transaction is displayed, or the message

NO

TRANSACTION

if no receipt results on issue.

For scrolling through all the transactions of the receipt, press the key <↑↑↑↑> and,
once reached the sale to be subtracted, enter the void by pressing <PRINT>. The
message

ENTERED VOID will be visualised on the display. Press <↑

↑↑

↑> to scroll

throughout the remaining transaction if additional voids must be entered.

Press <VOID> again to confirm the entry and return to normal working condition.

VOID FOR LAST LABEL

VOID

PRINT

VOID

By pressing <VOID>,the total of the last issued label can be subtracted from total
counters. The weight, price and amount of the last label will be represented on the
display (or: price, no. of items and total for non-weighed sales).

The void can be entered by pressing <PRINT>, and a minus (“-”) sign will be
visualised on the display before the weigh and total values. The void is annulled
by pressing <PRINT> once again (figures return positive, on the display).

Confirm the void by pressing <VOID> again to return to normal working
condition.

UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0 PAGE 17

RETURNS

RP

-

To enter negative amounts on receipts, for instance to take into account returns,
the RETURNS function key can be used.
The return key is not mapped in the pre-set keyboard layout, so check that this
operation has been performed in order to use it (see progr. function 07

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS

).

Press the <RP> key, followed by unit price for the item returned and by the <->
key (the RETURNS function key).

To specify quantities of equal-priced items returned just type in the quantity after
the <-> key.

End the sequence by the appropriate operator key <OP n> (n being the operator
involved), thus specifying to which operator receipt the returns must be applied
to.

SUBTOTAL AND DISCOUNTS

SUB TOTALS

By pressing the direct key assigned to an operator with no transaction on course,
the sub-total of the current receipt can be visualised on the display.

A message OPERATOR TOTAL n (n being the operator involved) is issued on
display and the line below shows the no. of item recorded in the operator receipt,
followed by the corresponding total amount.

If no receipt is being issued, zero is displayed.

DISCOUNTS

DISCOUNT

DISCOUNT %

PRINT

Free percentage discounts can be applied by pressing the DISCOUNT function key
just after a sub-total is invoked.

The discount key is not mapped in the pre-set keyboard layout, so check that this
operation has been performed in order to use it (see progr. function

07

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS

).

Press the desired operator key <OP n> with no transaction on course to obtain a
sub-total, then press the <DISCOUNT> key followed by the % discount wanted.

The display shows the message DISCOUNT % followed by the percentage
entered.

Then close the sale (by pressing <PRINT> or other possibly enabled receipt­closing keys - e.g. <CHEQUE>, <CASH>, ...-, see PRINT RECEIPT on next page

for details).
Discounts can also be provided either on a fixed % base for each PLU (see funct. 10 PLU EDIT), or
using Special Prices (see

PLU RECALL) or even on a 3-range weight/quantity base for each PLU

(see funct.

10 PLU EDIT).

PRINT RECEIPT

PRINT

After transactions are completed, the receipt can be outprinted. Press <PRINT> and
the message ENTER OPERATOR is visualised on the display. After pressing the
operator key, the display visualises the message OPERATOR TOTAL followed by
the corresponding sale total, and the receipt is immediately printed. (If no receipt
is on issue, the display visualises the message NO TRANSACTION).

The total is displayed until a subsequent operation is started, either
loading/unloading the plate or touching the keyboard. Alternatively the scale can
be programmed so to exit the total-display status on subsequent keyboard
operation only (see progr. 34 EXIT FROM TOTAL).

CASH

CHEQUE

CREDIT CARD

COUPON

To better qualify the payment mode, for accounting purposes, a set of
function keys can be used instead of the generic <PRINT> key.

These keys are <CASH>, <CHEQUE> , <CREDIT CARD>, <COUPON>, and
by using them the amounts are totalised separately and thus can be
separately reported in total reports.
None of these keys is mapped in the pre-set keyboard layout, so check
that this operation has been performed in order to use them (see progr.
function 07 KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS).

Use these keys just as the <PRINT> key. A specific payment mode
message will be issued on the display and will be printed on the receipt.

CHANGE CALCULATION

At the end of the printed receipt, before entering any other operation, the change calculation can be added.

F

As the key <F> is pressed, the query CASH is visualised on the display. Now, type
in the amount by the numerical keys and then, when pressing <PRINT> the
computed change is displayed and then printed at the very end of the receipt (if
the “change print” function was enabled during programming as explained in the
progr. function 31 RECEIPT OPTIONS).

RECEIPT REPRINT

PRINT

Pressing <PRINT> once again prints another copy of the receipt.

A second short summarised receipt for accounting can be automatically printed , only with date,
time, amount ,operator and scale id., receipt number (see progr. 33 ACCOUNT RECEIPT).

CORRECTING RECEIPTS

RE-OPEN

Each of the operator can, if needed, re-open its last issued receipt to correct it.
Press the <RE-OPEN> key followed by the appropriate operator key <OP n>,
as queried by the message ENTER OPERATOR displayed.
The total amount of the re-opened receipt is shown on display, together with
the items sold. Now any operation on a open receipt can be performed
(adding new transactions, voiding previous transactions, etc.).

The <RE-OPEN> key is not mapped in the pre-set keyboard layout. This operation
must be performed to use it (see progr. function 07 KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS).

PAPER REPLACEMENT

The paper cassette has to be replaced when one of the following messages is represented by the
display:

PAPER OUT ERROR

It is displayed when the paper is completely out. Before this occurs,
the LED signal PAPER lights up on the display.

REPLACE CASSETTE

This message is displayed when the paper cassette is not compliant
with the operational mode on use.(For example: the scale is on
“Receipt” mode, and the paper cassette is that for labels).

To replace the paper cassette, push the button placed on the right side of the scale (as shown by the
following figure). The cassette is pulled out for some mm. and the message

NO PAPER CASSETTE can be visualised on the display. Now the cassette can be completely

taken out.

Check that the paper is placed between the two
positioning pins, at the new paper cassette.

If it is a cassette for labels, just check that paper
is positioned correctly.

If it is a cassette for receipts then open the paper
slot on the scale front and check that 1 cm. paper
end comes out from the label separating plate.
When mounting the cassette, keep the paper end
attached to the separating plate, so that it can
slide below the printer head.

Slip in the cassette (until it clinks), re-close the paper slot so the paper can come out freely.

PAPER POSITIONING AND FEED

Position the labels correctly before restarting to use the scale. During the paper replacement or
during the scale regular use, it may be useful to have the receipt paper fed out.

F

label positioning

For positioning correctly labels, press the key <F> and then the
key <↑↑↑↑>. The printer advances the paper roll and the first label is

ejected, ready for print.

paper / label feed

If only key <↑↑↑↑> is pressed, the paper (or label) advances as long
as it is being pressed.

UV119UE - DSP 500 : USER MANUAL- v. 4.0 PAGE 21

PAPER-CASSETTES

The DSP 500 scale is designed to identify no. 3 different paper cassette versions for continuous
paper (receipts and single-items) and for labels. Only two label formats (with different label
lengths) can be used for the scale to automatically detects the selected type of paper and label
format. Each cassette can be associated with a specific print mode and with a default operator id.
(that can be in any case overridden by specifying any other operator when assigning each amount
in a receipt of label). See (see progr. function 20 PAPER CASSETTES).
To obtain a correct handling of the label formats A and B, enter the suitable calibrations for the
two label formats to be used on programming mode (see progr. function 50 CALIBRATION).

Attention:

When passing to a new label format (paper label of new size, spacing, etc.)
remember to re-calibrate the scale. In fact the scale does not detect the paper
directly but the cassette version to be used (see progr. function 50

CALIBRATION).

The scale detects the paper cassette thanks to an optical reader, which read the white stamps placed
inside the cassette according to the diagram reported
herebelow:

 

= no cassette

 

= cassette 1

 

= cassette 2

 

= cassette 3

After the cassette is taken out, by pressing the cassette
compartment button, lift up the cassette cover hook (on top
side) to access the cassette inside.

Inside the cassette there are two side pins and one centre pin (in the continuous paper cassette
only). This centre pin is the only difference existing between the two types of cassette. Therefore,
just remove this centre pin if you want to use the continuous paper cassette as cassette labels (and
change the white stamps positioning).

LOADING LABEL PAPER ROLLER

The roller for labels has to be inserted on the
cassette right-side pin. The strip, with labels
top side upwards must be fixed to the left-side
pin. The figure hereunder clearly shows how to
slip in the label strip, with a roller clockwise or
anti-clockwise oriented.

LOADING CONTINUOUS PAPER ROLLER

The continuous paper roller has to be inserted on
the cassette centre pin. If the centre pin is not
already mounted, screw it in.

The paper is passed over the centre metal strip
and then advances freely on the label separating
plate.
