Scale Printer System
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
The SP600/SP600P Scale Printer System prints
merchandising labels used to identify price and to code a
variety of supermarket items. EAN or UPC barcode,
description, weight, unit price, total price, packed-on date,
sell by date, and use by date are some of the fields available
on labels. Expanded Text and Special Message fields enable
the SP600 to provide cooking instructions, ingredients
and/or special, promotional information.
The elevated display enables both customer and operator to
view numeric transaction data: Weight, Unit Price and Total
Price for the item.
The SP600P can be used as a label printer (if used without a
weigher) or a prepack scale (if connected with a model SPS
or CSWS scale).
When the system is disconnected, memory is maintained by
batteries for a minimum of 100 hours. The batteries
automatically charge when the system is connected to AC
power, whether the scale is in Reset or Operate mode.
Introduction 1-2
SP600 Scale 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 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 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-kilogram
(lb) 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 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) increment
will normally vary up or down by 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) Greater
variation than 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) indicates a need for
adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever
necessary, contact your authorized Hobart Service
representative.

General Information
The SP600 Scale Printer System is perfect for your over-thecounter weighing applications or for use in backroom meat
applications with the Hobart TWS, HWS or NSW wrapping
machines. This weighing system can handle a broad variety
of products for meat, deli, bakery, produce, fish and cheese
departments.
The scale’s memory is expandable from 0.5 MB to 2.5 MB,
enabling the scale to store information on thousands of
products.
The SP600 Scale System should be installed or moved only
by qualified Hobart-trained service technicians. It can
operate in a temperature range from 32
40
˚C).

General Information 2 - 2
The power cord receptacle is located under the SP600 base,
toward the back. The power cord is connected to 120/220 V.,
60/50 Hz., single phase electrical power. Once the SP600 is
plugged in, the system is powered up.
Look At This
Connecting to a power source with a different voltage or
frequency than the scale is configured for may cause
SEVERE damage to the scale.
In addition to the power cord, there is an RS-232 port at the
front of the scale. This port can be used with the Hobart
Disk Player/Recorder or the Hobart External Disk Drive.

digits.
Unit Price is determined by two configurations: Unit Digits
and Price Decimal. These are used with the following
restrictions:
• Unit Digits is limited to a value between and including 3
and 6.
• Price Decimal is limited to a value between and
including 0 and 3.
The Monetary Separator determines which separator a
decimal point or comma displays and prints.
Total Price is determined by the two configurations: Total
Digits and Price Decimal. These are used with the following
restrictions:
• Price Digits is limited to a value between and including
3 and 7.
• Price Decimal is limited to a value between and
including 0 and 3.
The Monetary Separator determines which separator, a
decimal point of a comma, displays and prints.
These options are configurable by a trained Hobart Service
Representative, only. Contact your local office for details.

SP600 Scale System
Using Operator
Identification
Assigning an Operator ID
Set up an operator’s ID to limit or grant the operator’s access
to various scale Supervisor functions. The operator’s
identification number provides security within each
department, enhancing the integrity of the scale files.
By configuring the scale to prompt the operator before each
transaction, the identification numbers enable you to
accumulate totals and track the operator’s productivity.
This number will often be referred to as a Secret ID. Be
aware that Operator ID and Secret ID are the same.
This section explains how to:
♦ assign an Operator ID
♦ configure the scale to accumulate operator totals
♦ print an operator access report
♦ delete an Operator ID
The Operator ID option enables you to assign a numeric
code that identifies a specific scale operator. When you
assign the Operator ID, you also assign an access code
which specifies the Supervisor functions the operator is
authorized to perform in the scale. A complete explanation
of access levels can be found later in this chapter.

one person with access level 5 in order to maintain the
Operator ID file. This ID should be set up first.
✎ Tip
Be aware that once you have an ID in the system, you will
always be prompted for the ID to access the Supervisor

Setting Up Speedkeys
Adding a Speedkey
Speedkeys are used to quickly access the fastest-moving
items with minimal keystrokes or to quickly access an
operator ID. Different Speedkeys can be assigned for each
scale, even if they are within the same department.
Speedkeys enable operators to enter a PLU number or log
onto a scale by pressing a single key. SP600 scales offer 30
Speedkeys.
☛ Note
Before you can add an Operator ID as a Speedkey, you must
turn on the Op Sign On option (in Function Code 51).
Note
If you assign a PLU number that does not exist in the
system, the message RECORD NOT FOUND flashes
followed by the Key prompt. This is telling you that the PLU
is assigned to the Speedkey, but you must add the PLU
record to the database.
To add a Speedkey:
1. PRESS [SUPERVISOR]. If a Secret ID is set up, enter your
Secret ID. The Function Code prompt displays.
2. TYPE 30 and PRESS [ENTER] or PRESS [SPEED KEYS].
The Key prompt displays.
