Introduction
Pull both levers outward at the same time to raise or lower the display.
1.3. Power Cord and Switch
On the UC-CWx/UC-GT Evo CT, the power switch and power cord jack are located on the scale base
near the left front of the unit. Press the (-) on the rocker power switch briefly to turn the scale power
to ON. To turn the scale power off, always exit any editing screens, and then press the (o) on the
switch to turn power OFF.
Always turn the scale power to off before cleaning the scale.
Figure 1-6: Power Switch and Power Cord Connection, UC-CWx/UC-GT Evo CT
The UC requires 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.2A power. Wiring must include a proper ground. The
integrity of the power ground for equipment is important for both safety and dependable operation of

the electronic device. A poor ground can result in an unsafe condition should an electrical short
develop in the equipment.
A good ground connection minimizes extraneous electrical noise pulses. The electronic device
should not share power lines with noise-generating equipment. Examples include electrical motors,
compressors, heating elements, lights, and relays that may generate noise spikes and power
surges. To confirm ground integrity, use a commercial branch circuit analyzer or grounded outlet
tester. If adverse power conditions exist, a dedicated power circuit or power line conditioner might
be required.
1.4. Network Connections
UC Evo CT scales can connect to an Ethernet network using a cable or using a wireless radio. The
wired connection jack locations are shown below. If you are connected using a wireless radio, you
will see a cover protruding from the left side of the counter scale, the right side of the UC-GT Evo CT
(see below).

remove the item from the platter, the scale will return to the home screen automatically without the
need to touch the Clear button.
3.3.2.3. Printing Labels – Prepack Mode
Prepack Mode allows you to weigh multiple items of the same PLU. If you are in Prepack Mode, the
label will automatically print after placing the item on the platter. After the first label prints, remove
the first item from the platter and place the next item to weigh on the platter. After you remove the
label from the printer, the next label will print. Repeat this procedure until you are finished. To exit
this PLU, touch the Clear button to return to the home screen.
Figure 3-15: Print Button
In prepack mode, touching the Print button or placing the item on the platter prints the label.
3.3.2.4. Stripped and Un-Stripped Modes
The printer can be loaded to automatically strip the labels from the liner (stripped mode) or to print
and deliver the label with the liner attached (un-stripped mode). Un-stripped mode is useful when
printing batches of the same type of label. To use the unit in un-stripped mode, do not thread the
liner back to the take-up roller and un-check "Stripped Delivery" in Setup/Label Printer Setup.

3.4. PLU Pricing Modes
PLU is an abbreviation for Price Look Up. The PLU is a reference number assigned to access a
product's record that includes fields such as the description, price, tare, etc. Different PLU's will
have different pricing modes. Meat is normally sold "By Weight" by the pound or kilogram. Many
bakery products are sold "By Count". Other products may be sold in a standard package that all
weighs the same (or assumes all weight is the same or a minimum value). The different pricing
modes are described in the following sections.
3.4.1. By-Weight PLU
Figure 3-18: By-Weight PLU
Examples of products sold by weight are meats, cheese, poultry and produce. By-Weight items can
be priced in three ways:
Priced "Per Pound" - Typically weighed items are priced per the pound. The weight multiplied by
the unit price equals the total price of the product to the customer.
Priced "Per Fraction of a Pound" (fractional) - The item may also be priced by a fraction of a
pound (where legal and desired). Pricing per 1/4 pound and per
1/2 pound is available where it is legal for trade.
"Pounds for" price - The PLU may be sold as a an item containing a certain amount of weight
(pounds-for) for a fixed price (rather than price per pound). (Ex: 2 pounds-for $1.00).
