Introduction
The Ultima Scale Printer System can handle a broad variety
of products for meat, produce, fish, cheese, or bakery
departments. It can function as a prepack system with
Hobart wrapping and labeling equipment.
Ultima 2000
The easy to use control panel allows for a 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 with 72 additional Speed Keys
is available.
The system’s memory, expandable to 6 megabytes, can
support a variety of label formats and product information,
depending on programming and setup.
This Supervisor Manual describes programming and setup.
The companion Operator Manual covers product weighing
and label printing.
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).

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.

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.

User Display
The Ultima System’s User Display has several common
screen highlights that assist you in interacting with the
system. The highlights act the same regardless of your
screen location.
HighlightDescription

indicates that the field is active. If you
begin typing from the keyboard or
control panel, data is entered into this
field.
Bar Cursor

Changeable FieldsIf a field has a dotted line (.............)
Grayed Fields
A bar cursor (❚) indicates that the field is
a text field.
A block cursor (■) indicates that the field
is a numeric field.
under it, the field can be changed or
edited.
If a field or selection is grayed, it is not
available for that particular screen or
transaction.
Prompt LineThe Prompt Line is white text, reversed
out of a black box. It is typically located
at the bottom portion of the screen. It
prompts you on what your next step
should be. (Depending on your
configuration, it may be black text
reversed out of a white box.)
Screen TitleThe Screen Title identifies the screen
name and function that you are
attempting to complete. It is typically
located at the top left corner of the
screen.
Before you can begin adding to your product database you
should set up your scale. This section explains how to set up
required scale system information such as:
♦ Operator IDs
♦ Speedkeys
♦ Scale Operation
♦ Scale ID and Store Name/Address
Assigning Operator
IDs
The Operator ID option enables you to assign a numeric
code that identifies a specific scale operator. When you
assign the Operator ID, you assign an access code which
specifies the Supervisor functions which the operator is
authorized to perform in the scale. You can also set up
whether operator must log-on every time he/she uses the
scale.
☛Note
You must assign at least one person with access level 9, in
order to maintain the Operator ID file. This ID should be set
up first.
An operator with an access level of 1 has no access to
supervisor functions.
✎Tip
Be aware that once you have an Operator ID in the system,
you will always be prompted for an Operator ID to access
Supervisor Mode.
