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 1 If 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 2 The 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 3 In 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 example The following is an example of the By count modes using these values:
By count quantity = 12, By count price = $2.09
Qty Method 1 Method 2 Method 3

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.

Understanding Label Stock
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 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

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:
Understanding Access LevelsAssigning Operator ID’sDeleting Operator ID’sSetting Operator PermissionsCreating Operator NotesViewing Operator ChangesShelf Life Expiration Note
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.

Setting Up the Database

Before you begin to use the HT Access System, you should con­sider how you want to set up the database to maximize the effi­ciency of your scale. Contact your local Hobart Service provider for help setting up the scale database.
The following topics explain how to set up your database:
Understanding the DatabaseSetting Up ClassesSetting Up ProductsModifying Product InformationSetting Up Support Files
Understanding the Dat abase
Understanding the Product Changes Subsection
With the HT Access System’ s flexible database, you can organize your operation with Classes, Categories and Products. Classes are groups of Products. Categories are a way to group products together for the purpose of creating flashkeys. Products are any commodities sold.
When you add, modify or delete a Class, Categories or Product, the database is updated immediately. The database is designed so that you can quickly and easily change one specific field or all fields.
Before you begin working with Classes, Categories and Products, you should consider how you want to set up your scale. Refer to
Chapter 3:
Please review the following topics:
Setting Up Your System for information.
Understanding the Product Changes SubsectionUnderstanding the Product Changes Screens
Whether you are setting up or updating the database with Product-related information, you will use the Product changes menu. You may add, change or delete Classes, PLU information or Support Files.
The menus and screens of the Product changes function give you the flexibility to access the PLU information without having to go through every screen.
