Introduction

Ultima System

Introduction

The Ultima Scale Printer System can handle a broad variety of products for meat, produce, fish, cheese, or bakery departments. It functions as a prepack system with Hobart wrapping and labeling equipment. It gives you merchandising capabilities with multiple fonts, graphics, and label types and allows for flexibility in label design.

FUNCTION KEYS

SPEED KEYS

PL-41341-1

Ultima 2000

The easy to use control panel allows for productive operation. All necessary operator data appears on the screen and Function Keys (F1-F8) provide easy access to PLU information. Speed Keys can be used for the most frequently used PLUs. An optional panel is available with 72 additional Speed Keys.

This Operator Manual describes product weighing and label printing. The companion Supervisor Manual covers programming and setup.

FCC Note

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in 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 harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference; in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Verify Correctness of

Weight & Price

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. Keep 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 variation than .01 lb. indicates a need for adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever necessary, contact your authorized Hobart service representative.

Understanding the

System

Electrical Connections

Utilizing memory from 1 MB expandable to 6 MB, the system can store information on thousands of products. This information includes NutriFacts and Safe Handling instructions (which enable you to meet labeling law requirements), Expanded Text (which is used for Ingredients), Health Tips, Meal Planners, Recipes and Cooking Instructions, as well as, Merchandising Graphics.

The Ultima System should be installed or moved only by qualified Hobart Service Technicians. It can operate in a temperature range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).

A Power Cord and Main Power Switch are located at the back of the printer. An electric power of 120 volts, 60Hz, Phase 1 (3-wire plus ground) is required. The Main Power Switch turns the system ON (I) and OFF (O).

POWER SWITCH

POWER CORD

PL-41340-1

Note

The POWER key on the console is used to turn the User Display on or off only. This does not impact the system power. The Power key should be used at the end of the day, not the Main Power Switch.

Loading Labels

In order to accommodate different label stock widths the system uses different label cassettes.

The Ultima 2000 uses a cassette for standard label stock and another cassette for narrow label stock.

Note

If you want to change label stock, contact your local Hobart Service Office to make the necessary adjustments.

Your Hobart Representative can create custom labels to accommodate your unique merchandising needs.

The Ultima 2000 uses:

•A Standard Label Cassette for standard (2.25”) wide label stock.

PL-41338

•A Narrow Label Cassette for narrow (1.5”) wide label stock.

PL-41339
