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.
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.
Introduction 1 - 2
Ultima System
FCC Note
Verify Correctness of
Weight & Price
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.
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).
☛ 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.
