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).

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).

3.4.2. By-Count PLU

Examples of items sold by the count are fruits and vegetables, cookies, donuts, rolls, bread, etc. Example: 4 Apples for $0.69. The By-Count PLU allows the operator to use the scale for a labeling operation. Pricing is entered as a certain quantity of items for a set price.

3.4.3. Standard Pack PLU

Figure 3-19: By-Count PLU

Figure 3-20: Standard Pack PLU

Examples of items sold by Standard Pack include whole chickens, sheet cakes, bread, etc. The Standard Pack PLU is similar to By-Count and also allows the operator to use the scale for a labeling operation. The labels indicate the net weight of the item and total price of the item.

3.5. Temporary Overrides

Note: Depending on the configuration of the scale, a Supervisor or Operator password may be

required for the Tare and Unit Price over-rides for By Weight PLUs, or Total Price on By Count or Standard Pack PLUs.

If the value is displayed in a different color background, you can perform a temporary override. In the PLU screen below, the Tare, Unit Price, Shelf Life, Use by Date, Extra Text, Label Format, and Accumulator box background color is different than the field background, indicating they can be changed. Fields for the Pack Date and Total Price in the screen below cannot be changed. The override is only temporary and values will revert to the original the next time the PLU is called.

3.9. Country of Origin Labeling (COOL)

Figure 3-27: COOL Labeling

Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) designates where a product came from and where it was processed. COOL records (Country of Origin Labeling) are very similar to ingredients records. COOL records must be assigned to a PLU in order to print. COOL implementation involves a combination of COOL Text Records, COOL Production Text Records, COOL Countries and COOL Pretext.

COOL is supported through specialized Extra Text Records and lists of extra text records that are associated with the PLU record. The operator can choose a preconfigured COOL statement or, in create custom COOL statements, and if enabled, enter tracking and Lot numbers.

3.9.1. COOL Record Types

3.9.1.1. COOL Text

COOL Text records contain the complete statement of how the product was harvested and where it was harvested. Common examples of a COOL Text record are “Wild Caught” or “Product of USA”.

Multiple COOL Texts can be chained together to give an operator more selections. This is useful for a retailer that purchases an identical product from multiple countries.

3.9.1.2. Production Text

Production text is a phrase in the list such as “Produced in”, “Processed in”. Production text is created the same way as COOL Text.

3.9.1.3. Country Text

Country text is a list of countries and the individual country names (literals). Country text and text lists are created the same as COOL Text as described above.

3.9.1.4. Pre Text

Pre Text is a word or phrase that prints before the COOL Text on a label. Pre Text is programmed into the PLU record and cannot be overridden by the operator. Pre text and text lists are created the same as COOL Text as described above.

3.9.2. Create/Edit COOL Text

COOL records can be created or edited in the UC Editor. Additionally, COOL records can be created and downloaded from a host. Refer to the UC Editor Chapter in the UC Line Software Technical Manual for additional details.

3.9.3. Pre-Configured COOL Statements

Preconfigured COOL statements can be one of four types:

• Default COOL preconfigured text.

• Current Preconfigured COOL text.

• Most recently used preconfigured text.

• List of possible preconfigured text for that PLU.

Each is identified on the Preconfigured COOL Statement screen. The current text is the one that is currently selected and would be used if proceeding with the transaction. The most recently used text is the text statement that was last used to complete a transaction and was printed on a label for that PLU. If COOL is not forced on a PLU, meaning you are able to complete a transaction without selecting a COOL statement to be printed on the label, a No COOL button is available. After selecting the appropriate COOL statement, the user touches the Enter button to proceed. The Cancel button will stop processing of the current transaction and return the user to the main screen.

If the PLU selected has data that will allow the user to construct a custom COOL statement, the Custom button is available.

3.9.7. Forced COOL

A PLU can contain a value in the data record that indicates that COOL is to be forced for that PLU. There is also a scale setting within Service Scale Setup that enables forced COOL for all PLU records called up on that scale. When both of these are set, the scale will not allow a transaction to complete without a COOL statement selected for printing on the label.

3.9.8. COOL Pretext

COOL Pre-Text is a single text record associated with the PLU in the PLU record. It is not changeable and is always printed on the label. The most common use of it is to identify if seafood is farm raised or caught in the wild.

4.2.3. Run Total Label Format

Select the style of the label to use when printing totals labels (in Memory Mode or when using Sales Online).

4.2.4. Stripped Delivery

This function enables or disables the take-up motor and label taken sensor. This box should be checked when labels are taken stripped from the liner. The take-up motor will wind up the used liner on the take-up spool and the label taken sensor will prevent another label from printing when one remains in the printer. When this box is not checked, the take-up motor is disabled and the label taken sensor is ignored. Continuous stock should always be run with this unchecked (disabled).

4.2.5. Inverted Delivery

When enabled (box checked) the label will be delivered with the opposite end first.

Figure 4-6: Normal and Inverted Delivery

4.2.6. Eject Length

This is the position the label will stop at after printing. If the Eject Length is increased, the label is ejected further outward from the printer. If the Eject Length is decreased, the label moves inward towards the printer. (Default value: 10.0 mm) For example, if the labels are falling off the liner, decrease the value; if labels stick too much to the liner, increase the value.

Note: For the UC-GT, set the Eject Length to 6 for a starting position. Adjust from that point as

needed.

4.2.7. Image Offset

The Image offset is used to adjust the vertical position of the image printed on the label (in millimeters). It is measured in mm from the rear gap sensor to the printer's print head. Increasing the image offset value moves the printed image lower on the label and increasing the value moves the image down on the label. (Default value: 0.0mm)

4.2.10.1.4. GS1 Databar Barcodes

GS1 Databar is a stacked barcode that can have up to 3 rows of barcode data. It can contain up to 9 different pieces of information (Application IDs). The data always contains the Application ID 01 or GTIN number (the 14 digit item number of the PLU), and can contain the following optional Application IDs (in order generated in the barcode):

ID Data Item Notes

01 GTIN Always selected, 14 digit Item Number

392x Total Price up to 15 digits, “x” is decimal position

8005 Unit Price 6 digits (no precision indicated)

17 Use By Date 6 digits (YYMMDD)

10 Batch / Lot # Variable, up to 20 digits

* = can contain one of these fields based on loadcell setting and package type (BW/BC/SP).

The desired fields can be configured in the PLU record or in Setup / Barcode Settings if the PLU record is set to “Use Scale Settings”. The Barcode Settings screen has an additional checkbox to put a human readable text line under the barcode. Only one line of text will print and the number of characters depends on the width of the barcode field. Since this symbology is “variable width” based on the number of fields selected, the barcode will be rendered from the starting position (top, left) of the barcode field defined in the label format, and continue to the right edge of the label. It will be rendered for the specified field height. If the data will not fit in one row of bars, two or three rows will be generated, each row being one half or one third of the height.

The pages are selected using the Page Buttons at the bottom of the screen. First configure the page, and then the preset keys for that page can be configured.

Presets can be easily arranged in a hierarchy method so the PLU can be located easily. For example to locate a “Tangerine", you could select the FRUIT category and within “Fruit”, the Tangerine preset can be touched.

There are two ways to display Presets: Graphical and Text. Graphical Presets show images of the item and Text Presets show a text description only. Refer to the more information on using Graphical Presets.
