Assembling the Display

Once you have unboxed your NETS you must carefully

follow the

instructions below on how to assemble the Pole Display.

Installation Pole Display:

1. Connect the display connectors together.

2. Place the Pole Display properly into the bracket making sure that the connectors are slipped inside of the pole (upwards.)

3. Attach the two display pole screws (Pan Screw M4x8) to securely fasten the pole to the bracket.

4. Finally, attach the bracket-plate to the bracket and fasten it with the 4 smaller screws (Pan Screw M3x6).

Note

: Make certain that none of the wires are being crimped when you

are installing the pole display.

Scale Overview

The NETS is a simple price com

puting label printing scale. There are

certain parts of the scale that you may need to become familiar with in

order to properly maintain and operate the scale.

Take a look at the diagrams provided and the table following

them.

These will point out the

most vital components of the scale that are

involved in day-to-day operations and maintenance.

Page 10

Front View:

The Weight Display is where all weight data is displayed.

The Unit Price Display is where the scale displays price-per-kilo data as well as the Piece count for By Count items.

The Total Price Display is where the scale shows the Total Price.

The Alpha Display

is where the scale displays the PLU Name. During

programming, this display is also used to display menu information and

text.

The Alpha Keypad is where all of the Speed Keys are located.

During

programming, this keypad is also used to

navigate menus, enter

special functions, and typing text data.

The Numeric Keypad is where all numeric data is entered.

The Printer area is where the label comes out of.

Right Side View:

The Display Pole is what

the

display head is mounted on.

The Leveling Gauge is

used to

make sure that the scale is level.

The Adjustable Foot

can be

adjusted to affect the level of the

scale. It is used with the leveling

gauge during installation.

The Unadjustable Foot cannot be adjusted; instead, use

the other 3 to

adjust the level of the scale.

Page 11

The Printer Cassette

is a drawer mechanism that is pulled out of the

scale in order to load new label rolls or service the printer.

The Thermal Print Head

is the printing element that prints the thermal

labels. Never touch this part as it can get extremely hot

during the

print cycle. From time to time you may need to clean the print head;

see Proper Operation, Maintenance section.

The Peel Sensor

is used by the printer to determine if you have

removed a printed label that is sitting on the peel-off bar. If t

his sensor

becomes blocked, the scale will not print.

The Platter

is used to place commodity items to be weighed and/or

labeled. The platter may need cleaning from time to time; however,

you must remove the platter from the scale platform whenever you

clean it.

Left Side View:

The Display Bracket is where the display pole is attached to during installation.

The Power Switch is used to turn the scale on or off; however, even though the switch is in the off position it is best to unplug the scale whenever working on any wiring or during installation. TCP/IP and Cash drawer must be illustrated as network option

The AC Cord Receptacle is where the power cord is plugged into.

The Adjustable Feet

can be adjusted to affect the level of the scale.

There are

3 adjustable feet and 1 unadjustable foot which is located

under the printer towards the front of the scale.

The Specification Plate

contains scale data like capacity, serial

number, version, approval numbers, power requirements, and other

manufacturer data.

Page 12

Page 13

The Auto Lamp

works with the Auto key. When on, it means that the

scale is in auto-

print mode; when off, it means that the scale is in

manual-print mode. Auto-

print will only print automatically whenever

the weight returns to gross zero.

The Save Lamp

works with the Save key. When on, it means that the

scale is in save mode; when off, it means that the scale is in auto-

clear

mode. Auto-

clear will clear out the tare and price whenever the weight

returns to gross zero.

Printer & Label Installation

The NETS

has a high speed thermal printer that prints at 100 mm per

second (4” per second.) It has a heavy-

duty removable cassette

drawer that is used to load the thermal labels into the scale.

Make sure that the Power Switch is off. Pull on the cassette handle to remove the cassette drawer.

Once you have removed the cassette drawer you may follow the instructions shown on the large sticker labeled “Installation” on the cassette mechanism.

Removal Labels:

When the printer runs out of labels:

1) Pull and remove the Pick-up Clamp (f). When you do so, some of the backing paper may rip; this is normal. Remove the excess collected backing paper from the Pick-up Clamp (f) and discard the paper making sure NOT to throw out the clamp.

Page 14

2) Remove and discard the cardboard label core which should be located on the Label Roll Spool (b) making sure NOT to throw out the Label Roll Spool (b). Make sure to also discard any excess labels and/or backing paper along the label path. The label path is shown in red on the Installation sticker in the cassette drawer.

Installation Labels:

Once you have followed the instructions for removing labels you can install a new label roll by taking the new label roll and remove about 30 cm (approx. 12”) of labels from the backing paper of the new label roll and then do the following:

1) Place the new label roll onto the Label Roll Spool (b).

2) Thread the backing paper through the Pressure Plate (c).

3) Next, thread the backing paper between the La

bel Guide bobbin (g)

and (h).

Then, thread the backing paper over the Platen (d) and over the

Label Guide bobbin (i) so that the backing paper is

NOT between

Platen (d) and the Label Guide bobbin (i).

Page 15

Next, thread the backing paper under the Label Guide bobbin (j) so

that the backing paper is

NOT between Platen (d) and the Label Guide

bobbin (j).

6) Then, wind the backing paper over the Pick-

up Motor Shaft (e)

about 1 turn.

7) Next, fit the Pick-up Clamp (f) over the Pick-

up Motor Shaft (e) so

that the backing paper slides through the slit located on the Pick-

Clamp (f). Also, make sure that the Pick-

up Clamp (f) slides all the

way into the Pick-up Motor Shaft (e)

8) Then, wind the Pick-

up Clamp (f) until the edge of the first label is

aligned with the Platen (d). When done, make sure that the lever

located on top of the Pick-up Clamp (f) is folded down against the Pickup Clamp (f).

9) Finally, slide the casse

tte drawer back into the scale making sure to

align the Metal Rails (k) of the cassette with the Plastic Rails (l) of the

scale.

After you turn the scale on you must feed out 2 or 3 labels

using the FEED key.

When you remove the cassette drawer from the

scale the printer bay is

exposed. You should only remove the cassette drawer when replacing

labels or servicing the printer; you should never leave the printer bay

exposed for long periods of time.

Whenever you remove the

cassette drawer, you must feed o

ut 2 or 3 labels using the FEED

key when finished.

Do’s & Don’ts

Please observe the following:



Unplug and shut the scale OFF whenever you are changing the

label roll or working in the printer bay.



The outlet that the scale is plugged into should be properly

grounded and have the correct voltage supply.

 Maintain a static free work area.



Never use any other equipment on the same electrical line; the

scale should have a dedicated line.

 Place the scale far from strong RF (radio frequency) interference.

 Level the scale using its adjustable feet; however, be

careful not

to try and adjust the foot that is under the printer towards the front

of the scale.

 Do not subject the platter to sudden impacts

or drop anything onto

the platter.

 Do not spill the water or any other liquid on the scale.

 Do not use any solvents to clean the scale.

 Do not remove the safety ground on the power cord.



Do not store thermal labels where they may be subject to: direct

sunlight, high humidity, high temperature, or dust. Doing so may

damage and/or hinder the quality of the print on t

he labels. Be

sure to also follow any other label-manufacturer guidelines.

 Do not press the keys using

excessive force; the keys will operate

correctly if they are pressed lightly. If any keys should fail to work

please contact your ACOM Dealer.

 Do not use any label media other than that recommended

ACOM. Please contact your ACOM Dealer for details.

 Do not attempt to affect repairs to this equipment;

unlicensed

individuals affecting repairs on legal for trade devices can be

subject to fines in all 50 states as well as voiding your warrantee

Contact your local ACOM Dealer for service or repairs.

Page 20

Location & Environment

This scale must be placed on a flat and stable surface. Please keep

the

scale away from the direct path of ventilation equipment, strong

drafts, or direct sunlight. These air disturbances can be picked up by

the scale’

s sensitive weighing sensors and may cause incorrect weight

readings.

If the scale is not properly leveled,

please adjust the 3 adjustable legs

at the bottom of the scale. DO NOT adjust the leg that is under the

printer and closest to the front of the scale. Adjust the height of each

of the 3 adjusting feet so that the leveling gauge indicates that the

scale

is level. The leveling gauge is located to the right of the display

pole bracket on the rear of the scale. You will know that the gauge

indicates “level” when the bubble is in the center of the marked circle.

Please avoid the following hostile environments:

 Temperatures exceeding -10° C to 40° C (14° F to 104° F).

 Excessive vibration or instability.

 Unstable or flimsy surfaces to use the scale on.

 Dusty, dirty, or excessively wet environments of any kind.

The scale should be installed in a dry and liqui

d free environment.

When the scale is installed in a high humidity or wet-

type environment,

be sure to avoid spilling or spraying anything onto the scale. If you

must operate in this type of environment you MUST use the Spill-

Proof

overlay with the NETS.

You can get this optional item from your

ACOM Dealer. Failure to use this item may void your warrantee.

Maintenance

This scale’

s exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth or rag and a

mild soap solution. Do not spray any liquids directly onto the

NETS.

Always spray any cleaning fluids onto the cloth rag you are using to

wipe the scale. Remember, NEVER to hose-

down the scale. Before

doing any type of cleaning, always make sure to turn the Power Switch

off and unplug the scale from any AC outlet.

Page 21

The keyboard should be cleaned with a damp cloth rag and a mild

soap solution. Do NOT spray any liquids or chemicals directly onto the

keyboard as these may cause damage to the seals and then cause the

keyboard to fail. Do

NOT use any harsh solvent or chemicals to clean

the keyboard as these may discolor or completely remove the graphics on the keyboard.

The displays should be cleaned with a damp cloth rag and a mild soap

solution. Do NOT spray any liquids or chemicals d

irectly onto the

displays as these may cause damage to the seals and then cause the

displays to fail. Do NOT use any harsh solvent or chemicals to clean

the displays as these may discolor or completely remove the graphics on the display windows.

To clean

the platter, please carefully remove the platter from the scale

platform and wash the platter in a mild soap solution. You can wet or

submerge the platter if desired. Do not use any chemicals that may

cause damage to stainless steel. Make sure that the

platter is

COMPLETELY dry before attaching to the scale platform. Also, do not

use excessive force when reattaching the platter to the scale.

The printer bay also requires cleaning

; however, this process requires

more scrutiny as there are many sensitiv

e components inside the

printer bay. Remember, make sure to turn the Power Switch off and

unplug

the scale from any AC outlet. Remove the cassette drawer

mechanism from the scale. Then, with a soft bristled brush or tooth

brush, swipe away any debris th

at may have accumulated in the printer

bay’

s base. Do NOT touch any other surface ESPECIALLY the

thermal print head. If you scratch the print head, it will need to be

replaced; scratches are not covered under warrantee.

Finally, the TPH (thermal print head) may need cleaning

from time to

time. You must be very careful when cleaning the TPH because

this is

the most expensive and delicate printer element. It is recommended

clean the TPH every time you change the label roll or whenever a label

becomes

stuck on the TPH. If you cannot remove a stuck label or

clean the TPH, DO NOT attempt to fix the problem yourself; instea

contact your local ACOM Dealer.

Page 22

To clean the TPH, begin by removing the cassette drawer from the

scale. Next, using

a cotton swab dipped in Denatured Alcohol, gently

slide the cotton swab over the TPH Printing Surface. You can do this

until the alcohol evaporates, but never use excessive force on the

TPH. You can also swab down the Peel Sensor as this device may

also accumulate dust or debris.

You can also use a TPH Cleaner Pen instead of the cotton swab and

Denatured Alcohol. The pen is available through your ACOM

Dealer.

When you are done cleaning the TPH, you can replace the cassette

drawer mechanism and test the print quality

using the FEED key.

Make sure that the TPH and the Peel Sensor are COMPLETELY dry of

the alcohol before plugging the scale into an AC outlet.

You may also

need to clean the Gap Sensor from time to time. To do so, please

follow the instructions located on the cassette drawer. If you require more thorough or robust cleaning

, please contact your

ACOM Dealer.

Power Requirements

The NETS is designed to be used virtually anywhere in the world. Like

many appliances of today, the NETS is designed with an auto

matically

switch power supply (SMPS.) T

his allows operation when connected to

an AC source supplying 85V to 240V AC at 50/60Hz.

Remember, an SMPS does not guarantee

that a bad, noisy, or

improperly wired power outlet will allow the scale to operate trouble

Page 23

free. With that in mind, please make sure that the power outlet used

with the NETS is a dedicated line with no high-

noise devices (such as

compressors, motors, etc.) plugged into t

he same line. Also, make

sure that the wiring for the outlet is correct. If you are uncertain,

please contact a certified electrician or your local Dealer.

Be sure to check the NETS

Specification Plate located on the left side

of the scale. The power supply specifications are listed there.

Quick Start

To get started immediately, follow the instructions in the “ACOM NETS Quick Reference Guide” that is included with your scale.

We still

recommend that you read this manual at least once.

The Quick

Reference Guide states the following:

A. Basic setup:

Take the scale, pole display, platter, and accessories bag

out of the box.

2. Install the pole display: Note

: Make certain that none of

the wires are being crimped when you are installing the

pole display.

a. Connect the display connectors together. b.

Place the Pole Display properly into the bracket

making sure that the connectors are slipped

inside of the pole (upwards.)

Attach the two display pole screws (2 larger

screws) to securely fasten the pole to the bracket.

d. Finally, attach the bracket-

plate to the bracket

and fasten it with the 4 smaller screws.

Place the scale in the area where it will be used which

should be a rigid and level surface. Using the leveling

feet and leveling gage,

make sure that scale is level. The

leveling gage is located on the right-

side rear of the scale

by the pole bracket; the leveling feet are located at the

bottom of the scale chassis. Note:

The leveling foot

located on the front-right side of the bottom

of the scale

(closest to the numeric keypad) is not

adjustable. Please

do not

try to adjust this leveling foot; instead, use the

other three feet to adjust the level.

Page 24

Place the platter on the scale platform and then connect

the AC cord to the NETS

. The AC cord (power cord) goes

connected to the left-

side of the scale; there is a label on

the scale by the connector ports which indicates

what

each connector is for.

Make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position

which is located above the AC cord connector.

6. Plug the scale into an AC source. Note:

The AC source

must be 85V ~ 240V DC 50/60 Hz +2%.

7. Turn

the power switch to the ON position. The scale will

do the display test and then go to zero.

8. Press the

FEED

key 2 or 3 times collecting the labels as

they are fed out each time you press the key.

9. The scale should be in the Initial State; all the displa

should read:

This is the Initial State

. Most directions and instructions in this manual

will begin with setting the scale up to the Initial State. Pl

ease

familiarize yourself with how to get the scale to the Initial State

: this

state is achieved by simply turning the scale on.

You are now ready to

use the scale.

Page 25

Password

When you purchase the

NETS, it comes with password protection by

default. The initial password is “77559”; 5 digits

. You can disable all

passwords or change the password. If your scale has password

protection enabled, then you can change the password by following the

instructions in the General Programming section under

Password

Change. If y

our scale has password protection disabled or you wish to

disable password protection, you must contact your ACOM

Dealer to

change this feature.

Changing this feature is only permitted by

licensed individuals.

There are only two places where the NETS wil

l show the password

entry screen: 1 to enter the Main Menu and 2

to void PLU sales. If

you press

SET

Func.

from Sales Mode (Initial State

) you will see

the following screen:

This is your cue to enter the password; of course, if passwords are

disabled th

en this screen will always be skipped. For a new scale, you

would simply press 77559

Enter

and then the scale will

proceed to the next screen.(The scale manager must use [1111]. However, this number possibly to be changed.)

Passwords are composed of the numbers 0 to 9.

As you type your

password, the Total Price display will display a dash for every number

that you press. When you are done entering your password, press

. If you entered the correct password you will go on to the next

screen; if not, you will remain at the password entry screen.

If you wish to exit the password entry screen, press

ESC

and you

will go back to Sales mode. Do not forget your password; write it down

somewhere safe. If you forget your password, you will NOT be able to

access

the scale; the only way to correct this problem is to call your

ACOM

Dealer who may have to clear out ALL of the scale’s memory

and completely reprogram the scale, which may or may not incur

additional charges. Note: if you wish not to use passwords, hav

e your

ACOM Dealer set your scale up accordingly.

1. PLU Create & Edit

Price Look Ups (PLUs) are the basic stock units of the NETS scale and are also referred to Stock Keeping Units (SKUs)

; however, these

are r

eally the same thing. PLUs have several properties which can be

programmed by the user. The NETS can have up to 1000 PLUs.

Please carefully read the following guidelines for PLU Creation.

PLU Creation Guidelines:

The most important PLU property is its

number; this is how the user

can reference or “call-

up” a PLU for use in Sales mode. For more

commonly used PLUs, the NETS has 60 Speed Keys which can be

programmed to automatically call-

up a PLU. This saves time and

increases throughput because less keystrokes are needed to call-

up a

PLU by Speed Key than by direct call-

up. Because PLU numbers are

usually 4 to 6 digits long, using direct call-

up can take up to 7 key

strokes! Using the Speed keys allows you to lower the keystroke count

to 1 no matter ho

w long the PLU number is. Careful consideration

should be taken when deciding on PLU numbers. This can be

especially true when you require the use of barcodes; if done

incorrectly, you may have to reprogram ALL your PLUs on the NETS

or your electronic ca

sh register (ECR) or point of sale (POS) system!

Because there are so many makes and models of cash registers and a

myriad of POS software packages, it is not possible to denote a

“works-for-

all” instruction set for numbering PLUs. Instead, there are

some simple principles you can follow:



Try to keep the scale’s PLU number the same as the ECR/POS

PLU number.

This ONLY applies to scale items that the

ECR/POS must scan.



Try to keep each PLU’s UPC Code the same as the PLU number.

Consequently, the PLU # = UPC Code = ECR/POS PLU #

. The

NETS makes the UPC Code the same as the PLU number for all

new PLUs.

The second most important PLU property is PLU Type. Food can only

be sold 1 of 2 ways: by count or by weight. This is why there are also

2 PLU Types.

Page 29

When food is sold by weight, it must be accurately weighed and

labeled with certain specific data whose requirements may change

according to jurisdiction.

The minimum requirements for a By

Weight PLU label are: product name, price-per-

pound, net weight,

total price, and a packed on date. The net weight must be verifiable by

an accurate scale.

When food is sold by count (or volume), it must be accurately labeled

with certain specific data whose requirements may change according

to jurisdiction. The minimum requirements for a By Count

PLU

label are: product name, price-per-

piece, net weight statement, total

price, and a packed on date. The price-per-

piece is usually expressed

in the format “Q for P”: Q is a piece count and must

be greater than

zero; P is a price and must be greater than or equal to zero. An

example of a price-per-piece is “1 for $3.49”

A common misconception is that you can simply price something, let’s

say “fixed price”, and then sell it like that. The reali

ty is that this is true

for non-

food items; however, food must be sold either by weight or by

count. Even non-

scaled food items that seem to be “fixed price” and

can be purchased in a supermarket are in fact sold by count. For

example, a can of soup has

a net weight statement on the package

and when you buy it, the ECR/POS receipt will have a quantity (pieces)

and a price. Another example is canned or bottled soda. These items

are sold by volume, have a “net volume statement”

and when you buy

it the ECR

/POS receipt will have a quantity (pieces) and a price.

Additionally, if you were to measure the volume (or net weight) of the

contents you would find that you are getting a slightly larger amount

than stated on the package.

Now you are ready to program PLUs on the NETS!

The NETS can print 4 different barcode styles: UPC-A, UPC-B, EAN-8 and EAN-13. UPC-A is a 12 digit barcode and has been the predominant standard in the US. UPC-B is a 13 digit barcode that is usually employed whenever total prices exceed 4 digits. EAN-8 is an 8 digit European barcode that is equivalent to 8 digit UPC barcodes used in the US. EAN-8 is usually used to label very small packages. Finally, EAN-13 is a 13 digit barcode and NETS default to EAN-13 barcode. The NETS defaults to EAN-13 barcodes. Only if you are very knowledgeable in barcoding, should you attempt to change any of these settings. Many “scanning trouble” errors can be attributed to improper barcode settings. Please read the next section carefully.

Common Barcode “blues”:

The barcode is a complex and continuously evolving creature; there are volumes upon volumes of books relating to barcodes. However, with respect to price computing printing scales, there are a few simple rules to follow to minimize barcode errors.

First, read the PLU Creation Guidelines in PLU Programming, PLU Create & Edit section. Keeping PLU numbers equal to UPC Codes equal to ECR/POS PLU numbers will eliminate a great number of problems. Secondly, try to coordinate the scale programming and the ECR/POS programming. Many times there may be more than one party involved and their failure to communicate properly may result in errors later on. Finally, make sure that the ECR/POS system is set up to be able to understand UPC-A barcodes. UPC-A is also known as UPC-12, price embedded barcode, or random weight barcode.

If you have followed all of our directions but you are still having trouble, then the trouble is most likely on the ECR/POS side. You need to make sure that all of the ECR/POS scanner settings are correct as well as ECR/POS PLU data and settings. If the barcode scanner beeps, this is a sign that the scanner is functioning properly; most if not all scanners should be able to read any barcode printed by the NETS.

Because of this, the scanner should never be the source of barcode troubles unless the output data of the scanner is being rejected by the

Page 71

ECR/POS system; in which case, you must coordinate your scanner with your ECR/POS system.

One last tip regarding POS systems: POS systems are usually personal computers that “look like” ECRs; whereas, ECRs are

hardware devices that are dedicated to ECR use and are not as flexible and upgradeable as PCs. Because POS systems are PCs in disguise, they need an operating system (like Windows® XP) and an application (like Microsoft® Word) that allow it to function as an ECR. There are a very large number of applications or “software packages” that are available for POS systems and these are not always written by big companies that have vast experience in the POS field. Because of this fact, you may need to check with your software supplier/publisher for support regarding further scanning errors. In closing, we would like to mention that most if not all scanning troubles are due to improper scale programming and improper ECR/POS programming; the later being the more common.

To modify barcode settings:

1. Enter ‘Main menu’, and follow 3 steps below.

2. Press

3. Enter of the barcode type and press Print key. If you set

, the

barcode type is “UPC-A”. If you set

the barcode type is “EAN-13”. :

4. Press

Enter

: The next screen shows you the barcode format string. This string defines what the numbers in the barcode represent. The default strings are: “2IIIIIVPPPP”, “02IIIIIVPPPP”, “008IIII” and “DDIIIIPPPPPP“ for UPC-A, UPC-B, EAN-8 and EAN-13 respectively. We suggest that you only use these format strings because they are the most prevalent formats in use.

. The strings must fill the entire field: UPC-A must be 11 characters long, UPC-B must be 12 characters long, EAN-8 must be 7 characters long and EAN-13 must be 12 characters long. The checksum character is mandatory and will automatically be appended at the end of the format string. The table defines the script characters for the format string; if you use other characters than those mentioned below, your barcodes may not function properly. See next page for format characters.

8-1. Self Test

The NETS has a several self test features that can help you determine if things are working correctly. However, these features should only be used by an ACOM Dealer. Details regarding these features are located in the NETS Service Manual (Calibration mode: C1-2) available ONLY to ACOM Dealers.

8-2. Print PLU

The NETS can display or print a list of all the scale’s PLUs. This can be very helpful when you do not have the NETS Software Package or do not have access to a computer. Whenever you are generating a printout of the PLU list, you want to make sure that your scale is loaded with enough labels to complete the job. The scale will print a verification label for every PLU in the range that you specify, so it is recommended that you use a small label format when you do this. When you display the PLU, you cannot specify a range; therefore, you must toggle through ALL of the PLUs or press

Enter

to finish

prematurely. We recommend that you purchase the NETS Software Package if you are going to be dealing with over 100 PLUs.

To print the PLU List:

1. Enter ‘Main menu’, and follow 2 steps below.

2. Press

3. Make sure that the printer is loaded with enough labels. Using the numeric keys, type the PLU number that you want the list to start from.

Page 78

4. As you type, the number will appear in the Total Price Display. Press

Enter

. Now select the last (ending) PLU number for your list. The Unit Price Display will show the starting PLU number and the Total Price Display will show the ending PLU number. When the scale prints the labels, it will NOT wait for you to take them before it prints out the next one; therefore, we recommend that you do not thread the backing paper to the pick-up spool for this operation. Instead, have the backing paper feed out with the labels as they are printed so that they do not “peel-off.” When you are ready to start printing, press

Enter

5. The scale will sequentially go through every PLU in the range that you specified and print out a verification label for those PLUs that it finds.

6.Once the scale is finished printing, press

ESC

SET

to exit and return

to the Initial State.

8-3. Delete PLU

The NETS can store up to 1000 PLU. Although this is enough for most applications, there may come a time that you might want to delete some PLUs to remove unused or erroneous PLUs. When you display the PLU, you cannot specify a range; therefore, you Must toggle through ALL of the PLUs or press

Enter

to finish rematurely. We recommend that you purchase the NETS Software Package if you

are going to be dealing with over 100 PLUs.

Other Additional useful functions:

PLU Key & Calling Up PLUs

Sales mode is the Initial State. This is where you do all of your sales transactions. The basic “blueprint” of a scales transaction is :

In By Weight & Label

 Start at the Initial State  Select a PLU (Calling Up a PLU)  Place the item on the scale  Press

Enter

 Remove the item from the scale and apply the label

In By Count & Label

 Start at the Initial State  Select a PLU (Calling Up a PLU)  The platter is empty and you can type numeric key and

FOR

key.

 Press

Enter

 Remove the item from the scale and apply the label

In By Weight & Receipt & Single User

 Start at the Initial State  Select a PLU (Calling Up a PLU)  Place the item on the scale  Press the  Then the Weight Display is displayed Operator Number. And

the Unit Price Display is displayed the number of the item and the number of the void. The Total Price Display is displayed Total Price. The Alpha Display shows “SUB TOTAL”

 If you want to add sold item, Press C and go to first step.  When you finished, Press

Enter

in SUB TOTAL

view

 Remove the item from the scale and apply the receipt

ADD

Page 83

In By Weight & Receipt & Multi User

 Start at the Initial State  Select a PLU (Calling Up a PLU)  Place the item on the scale  Press the assigned operator key.  Then the Weight Display is displayed Operator Number. And

the Unit Price Display is displayed the number of the item and the number of the void. The Total Price Display is displayed Total Price. The Alpha Display shows “SUB TOTAL”

 If you want to add sold item, Press C and go to first step  Press

Enter

in SUB TOTAL view

 Remove the item from the scale and apply the receipt

This blueprint will always work assuming that you have a non-zero Total Price. You may want to use a different tare than that of the PLU that you are calling up, use a different price, use a different piece count. In any case, these are features that are accessed using different keys that can add steps to this basic blueprint. All of these features will be covered in the sections to follow. You may have realized that this basic blueprint can work for By Count PLUs; although By Count PLUs need not be weighed, you can place them on the platter when you do a transaction.

Whenever you call up a PLU, you need to know whether the PLU is By Count or By Weight. Remember that By Count PLUs do not need to be weighed so you can save yourself the step of having to place the item on the scale. This can increase your productivity. The easiest way to tell the a PLU is By Count is that the Weight Display is C character.

There are also many other functions and options that can add or some more steps to the basic blueprint mentioned above, but it is more or less the same. One important note to mention is that the first 2 steps are interchangeable; that is, you can either type a price and then place the item on the scale or place the item on the scale and then type a price. Additionally, you may not need to press

Enter

if you

are in Auto-Print mode.

Page 84

Selecting or “Calling Up” a PLU:

2. Type the PLU number and press

PLU

or press a Speed Key.

The Zero Key

You can use the

ZERO

key to correct a deviation from zero so long as

there is no PLU called up and the “Net” Lamp is off.

You should never leave items on the platter for any long length of time; items should only be on the platter for a few minutes. Sometimes, leaving items on the platter for an extended period of time will cause a shift in the zero point that you will notice when you remove the item from the scale. The

ZERO

key can correct this problem. Sometimes

small crumbs or debris may accumulate on the platter. The scale’s AZTM (Automatic Zero Tracking Mechanism) will automatically “press” the

ZERO

key for you so that you can continue to use the scale even

though the crumbs or debris may be on the platter. After a while, you ma y c le an th e p la tt er and then no ti ce a c ha ng e i n zero. You can use the

ZERO

key to correct this.………………………..

Using the ZERO key:

1. Start in Sales mode making sure that there are no tares set or PLUs called up and that the platter is completely empty.

1. Start from the Initial State.

2. Place the empty container on the platter.

3. Press

TARE

Clearing tares:

Both manual and sampled tares are cleared exactly the same way. For example, if you have a tare set on the scale and you want to clear it you can:

1. Remove all items from the platter.

2. Press

TARE

The Save Key (Label)

You can use the

SAVE

key to prevent the Auto Clear Function (ACF)

The Feed Key

The

FEED

key is used to feed out labels from the printer. You can

use the

FEED

key at any time in Sales mode. To use the

FEED

key

just press it at and a label will be issued immediately.

Whenever you move or remove the cassette drawer mechanism from the printer bay, you should always use the

FEED

key to align the

labels after you securely replace the cassette drawer mechanism. You should always press the

FEED

key 2 or 3 times to align the labels.

The labels issued from the

FEED

key have a special “checkered”

pattern printed on them. This pattern is there to let you know the status of the thermal print head (TPH.)

A good checkered pattern:

This is a good pattern; you can see that the pattern is uniform and has no missing or faded black squares. Also, the top and bottom edges of the pattern are parallel to the label edges.

Page 92

Needs cleaning:

This pattern indicates that the TPH may need cleaning. The white “spot” inside the pattern may sometimes also have parts of the pattern inside the spot and the spot may not always appear on every label. Also may appear faded.

May need service: There are two problems depicted here: the leftmost trouble spot is a very thin line of “missing” pattern; the right-most trouble spot is a more pronounced missing line. Both will appear completely from top to bottom.

You can try cleaning the TPH, but this is most likely a scratched TPH.

If you clean the TPH (see Maintenance section) and any of these problems persist, then it is possible that the platen may be damaged or that the TPH has been scratched or damaged. Call your ACOM Dealer for service. Do not attempt to service the TPH yourself! The TPH has high voltage and can get extremely hot during normal use and even hotter in some “damaged” conditions. If you attempt to repair the unit yourself, you risk injury and voiding your warrantee.

The Print Key

The

key is used to print labels in Sales mode, and as an Enter

key in Programming mode. In Programming mode, the

key and

the

Enter

key are equivalent. The

key can only issue labels in

Sales mode when there’s a PLU called up & Total Price > 0.00. It has a same function with

PC to Scale Data Transfer

You can use your PC to store data files for the NETS scale, all you need to do is to purchase the NETS Software Package. Contact your local ACOM Dealer for purchasing options. This is NOT a network

function nor can it become one. PC to scale data transfer uses serial (RS-232) communication to transfer data, which can only be wired from 1 PC to 1 scale. For Ethernet TCP/IP networking

availability, please contact dealer:

To transfer data from PC-to-Scale:

1. Place the PC and the scale together.

2. Make sure that the Power Switch is off on both the PC and the

NETS .

3. Connect the PC-to-Scale cable: the female side goes to the PC and

the male side goes to the NETS .

4. Turn the PC on, then turn the scale on, and wait for the scale to go

to the Initial State.

5. Follow the instructions that accompanied your NETS Software

Package.

Note

: You can have multiple scales. The master scale manages the slave sale. If the master scale is connected with pc, the master scale automatically sends and saves the received data from pc. But between The slave scale and slave scale can not transmit.
