Verify Correctness of
Weight & Price
HT Access System
All data appears on the touch screen.
Routinely verify label information. Check the multiplication of
price per pound times weight, and check the scale weight against
printed label weight. Weigh the same package several times to
verify outcome consistency. Packages that weigh near the middle
of the 0.005 lb increment will normally vary up or down by
0.005 lb. Scale weight resolution is 0.005 lb up to a weight of 12
lb. Above 12 lb the scale resolution is reduced to .01 lb. W eigher
resolution is based on weigher model. The AWS weigher model
can be configured for dual range(0.005) or for 0.01. The configuration is done by your local Hobart Service Representative. All
other weigher models are 0.01 resolution. Contact your local
Hobart Service Representative if the scale repeatedly shows
errors or does not weigh accurately.

By Count Calculation Method
The By count calculation method determines which of three
methods is used to calculate the total price for By count items
when less than the By count quantity is sold. The three methods
are described in the table below.
NOTE: If you have entered an Exception Price, it will take precedence over the By count calculation method selected.
NOTE: This is configured in Normal Scale Operations on the
System tab.
By Count Calculation Methods
Method 1If the discount is greater than $.01, the customer starts receiving the discount ($.01 per item)
sooner than on the last item purchased to complete the deal.
Example = 3/$1.00
Customer is charged $.34 for the first item, $.33 for the second and $.33 for the third.
Method 2The customer receives the discount on the last item purchased to “complete the deal.” The
By count price is divided by the By count quantity and the answer is rounded up to the next
cent; the answer is multiplied by the quantity sold. If the By count quantity is sold, the bargain differential is subtracted so as not to exceed the By count price.
Method 3In this formula, the division is performed last and the answer is carried to three decimal
places; any fraction is then rounded up to the next cent.
By count exampleThe following is an example of the By count modes using these values:
This option allows you to delete all of the files from the database.

Setting Up Label Types
HT Access System Supervisor Manual
The HT Access System gives you the flexibility to decide what
label types you will use and what will print on each label.
The following topics are explained in this section:
Understanding Label Types and Label Terms
Using the Labels Subsection
Using Custom Label Types
Adding a Custom Label Type
Deleting a Custom Label Type
Additional information can be found in the Label Information
section of Appendix A
.
Understanding Label Types and
Label Terms
Hobart can supply you with various custom label types to fit your
organization's needs. The preloaded label types are stored in the
scale database and are referred to as Standard Label Types. You
can also have custom label types designed (see Using Custom
Label Ty pes).
The following is important information to know about labels and
label printing before you get started:
•The thermal printhead requires no ink or ribbon.
•Labels used for your transactions may be preprinted or
blank.
•Preprinted labels may be ordered with a customer logo,
store name, store address and/or other merchandising
information (in black and white or colors).
There are some terms you will need to be familiar with when
working with Hobart Standard Label Types. They are explained
in the next few paragraphs.
Label stock refers to the physical label paper. Labels come in a
variety of sizes, and each has its own function and purpose. The
HT Access System uses Die Cut or Continuous Stock Labels.
Die Cut Labels are cut so that each label is spaced for accuracy.
Tip
Hobart-approved labels can be purchased by contacting ITW
Label at 800-597-0971. ITW Label is the only provider of
Hobart-branded labels. These labels are highly recommended
because:
•Single-source reliability for all scales
•Less than 1/10 of 1% defect rate
•Accurate labels on every roll
•Highly resistant to heat and moisture
•Excellent preprint quality

Understanding Label Types
HT Access System Supervisor Manual
The Label Type is the way the printing is laid out on a specific
size label.
Understanding Label Families
The family of label types only increments the last digit. The family starts with 0 and ends with 9. When the family is searched, it
starts at zero and increments until the correct label size is found.
If the correct size is not found, it will select the closest size that
will fit. Example: If label type 103 is assigned to the PLU and
5
" labels are loaded, the scale will search 100-109 to find a label
that is 5

Setting Up Operator ID’s
Understanding Access Levels
The Operator ID option enables you to assign a numeric code that
identifies a specific operator. It allows you to change information
about that operator. You may also delete an operator from the
system. The following topics are covered in this section:
Within the HT Access System, a certain level of authority can be
assigned as a required minimum in order to use a particular function. This is the Access Level. When setting up operators and
their ID’s, you will need to determine what Access Level they
will be given.
Assigning an Access Level to an Operator ID gives you the ability to govern the amount of access your operators are allowed to
have to the Supervisor functions. For example, you may want to
allow your operators to make certain changes to PLU information
that can only be made in Supervisor mode. You can also prevent
an operator from accessing Supervisor mode completely.
The following chart is grouped by Access Level and identifies the
functions associated with each.
NOTE: Remember, whatever Access Level you select for an
operator, then that operator can access all
For example, if you assign an operator to Access Level 7, then
they have access to levels 6, 5, 4 and so on.
NOTE: You must assign at least one person with Access
Level 9, if Supervisor mode security is desired.

Setting Up Product Default Values
HT Access System Supervisor Manual
The entire set of Product Default Values information in the database is covered on four Product Default Value Screen pages.
Setting the product defaults for each product type can eliminate
repetitive data entry.
NOTE: The fields that can be changed when you are working
with Products vary depending on the Product type (e .g., Random
weight or By Count).
Product Default Values are used to fill in missing information
when a file is sent to the scale from your scale management software or when data is uploaded from a USB drive. If for example a
PLU was sent to the scale without a Label type number in the
record, the default Label Type would be assigned.
The Product Default values Screens are also used to configure the
EAN format information. This information will be used when a
PLU is configured with a Label Type containing an EAN barcode
field.
NOTE: Product Default values do not override existing information in the PLU data.
