In general, your scale or terminal is part of a scale network.
The installation and application are handled by METTLER
TOLEDO or by an authorized dealer. These agents have been
trained for this matter and have all the necessary
documentation. Your scale or terminal should only be
connected to the mains with the supplied main cable.

The water level is used to level your scale, it is fixed on the
plate bearing under the weighing plate.
The water level should be checked regularly to assure a correct
level reading. When moving the scale, the level should also be
checked and corrected by means of the adjustable scale feet.

1.5 Automatic zero maintenance and zeroizing the scale

1.6 Thermal paper and labels for the printer

This scale is equipped with a automatic zeroizing device, an
automatic zero maintenance, or put otherwise, small weight
changes are automatically compensated (e.g. rests of grease
on the plate). This device is desactivated when a package tare
is compensated. After cleaning the dirt from the plate with the
scale on, the display can read :

• a negative value

• or "_ _ _ _ _" segments can be lit.

Sollution :

• Press the

[ C ][ C ]

[ C ][ C ]

[ C ] key twice.

If the message appears again :

• Put the scale off and on again with the mains switch.

The printer of the MIRA counter scales and terminals operates
by means of thermal transfer. For this printer you should only
use thermal paper or labels. These two types of paper have
been submitted to a long-lasting test by METTLER TOLEDO,
then cleared to use ; they are also approved by the legal
metrology services to be used on MIRA/LPe/LPae retail scales.

If you use thermal paper or labels others than those mentioned
above, the print quality and the lifetime of the print head risk to be
diminished. In such a case, warranty for the thermal printer is
void.
