WARNING:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Verification of information on labels should be made routinely. Check the multiplication of price-per-pound times weight
and check the indicated weight against printed weight. Weigh the same package several times to verify consistency.
Bear in mind that some packages which weigh near the middle of the .01 lb. increment will normally vary up or down
by .01 lb. Greater variations than .01 lb. indicate a need for adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever
necessary, call you authorized Hobart service representative.

GENERAL
The SP80/SP1500 Scale Printer System prints merchandising labels used to identify, price, and Bar
Code a variety of supermarket items. PLU Code, UPC Number, description, class, tare weight, shelf
life, product life, and price per unit — are field names used to code labels. Expanded text, nutrifacts,
and nutridata fields allow the SP1500 to provide cooking instructions, ingredients, and/or nutritional
information.
The elevated display panel enables both customer and operator to view numeric transaction data:
Weight, Price ($ / lb. or By Count quantity) and Total Price for the item. The optional Marquee Display
allows a special advertising message or the product description to be viewed by the customer in
addition to the transaction data.
Programming instructions are provided in a separate Supervisor Manual.

Recall of Information
The 26 Speed keys, along with the Shift key, allow you to recall any of 52 PLU's or Operator ID's using
only one or two keystrokes. The system prints a Speed Key Overlay which fits under the keyboard
bezel to identify each key at a glance (see Supervisor Manual).
Also, any item may be recalled by entering its PLU Code at the PLU ? prompt. If AutoLookup is not
enabled, press Enter after entering the PLU Code number.

Printer
The SP80/SP1500 System includes a thermal printhead requiring no ink or ribbon. Thermal print labels
(preprinted or plain) are used for transactions. Large diameter rolls are used only on model SP21500
due to its large cartridge capacity. SP80 uses only Label Type 1 (formerly J size).
Loading Label Stock
On models SP80 and SP1500, follow instructions underneath the platter to install label rolls. On model
SP21500, follow instructions located inside the printer door for installing label rolls. Hobart labels are
recommended in the interest of minimizing service problems and extending printhead life.
