1.8 Legal for trade
When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application, it must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met. As verification requirements vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser should contact their local weights and measures office if they are not familiar with the requirements.
For products sold in Europe, the verification process has been completed at the place of manufacture. These products have been sealed and the type plate includes supplemental metrology markings. They may be put into service immediately. If required by local W & M authorities, additional stickers will already be applied on the device.
For products sold in other regions, the verification process must be performed at the place of use.
To prevent access to calibration and metrological settings, the scale must be sealed using a paper seal or wire seal.

4.3 Configuration tips
4.3.1 Tips for setting up and configuring PLUs
Step 1: Configuring content of a PLU
In the factory setting, an item (PLU) offers the following data fields. In sub-menu 231, the data fields can be modified.
• Article Number
• Article Name
• Unit Price
• Unit of Measures
• Customized Unit
• Discount
• Price Overwriting
• Group
• Preset Tare
• VAT
Step 2: Organizing your products
The scale offers groups to organize your products. If desired, go to the following sub-menus:
• F113: Groups
Step 3: Editing lists
For many PLU items the scale offers lists to select from instead of entering the data directly when editing the PLU. To create lists, go to the following sub-menus:
• F115: Preset Tare
• F117: VAT

4.3.5 Setting up a floating vendor scale network with data synchronization
You can set up different network types depending on your needs, e.g., with or without data synchro­nization.
This example shows you how to set up a floating vendor scale network with data synchronization. For this option, you will define one scale as "Data Server/ Master" (where the data are managed) and the other scales as "Client" (where the data will be recalled from).
Configuring the "Data Server/Master" scale
1 Enter the menu and navigate to sub-menu F251 Network.
2 Ensure that "IP Mode" is set to "Automatic".
ð The scales are in the same network and can communicate
with each other.
3 Navigate to sub-menu F257 Data Server.
4 Define the scale as "Data Server/ Master" by changing the "Data
Server Type" to "Server".
5 Navigate to sub-menu F211 Item Recall.
6 Ensure that "Source of PLU" is set to "Local".
7 Ensure that "Data Synch at Start up" is set to "Disabled".
8 Navigate to sub-menu F233 Vendor.

4.3.6 Reports
4.3.6.1 Setting up basic reports
• Basic reports are based on 4 counters which are summing up the quantity for different information:
"Sales Report", "PLU Report", "VAT Report", "Vendor Report", "Category Report", "Group Report".
• All reports can be available for 4 time periods: "Today", "Yesterday", "Day Before Yesterday" and
"Since last delete".
• The daily report (e.g., "Today") will be shifted to yesterday when the date changes. It will always
be empty in the morning when starting the scales. In order to ensure correct data for all time periods ("Today", "Yesterday", "Day Before Yesterday"), the corresponding 3 report types cannot be deleted.
• Only the "Since last delete" report will actually be deleted when pressing the [Delete Reports] key.
This allows you to have different reports running at the same time.
Example
1 Enter the menu and navigate to sub-menu
F31 Basic Reports.
2 Select the report you would like to set up/ print out, e.g., F311
Sales Report.
3 Set "Period Filter" to "Today".
4 Print out a report at the end of the day and repeat printout the
entire week.
5 At the end of the week, navigate to the sub-menu F311 Sales
Report.
6 Set "Period Filter" to "Since last delete".
ð The turnover of the entire week will be printed.
7 Delete the report only once a week.

• As long as all scales are in the network and running, the report printed on one scale will include
the data from all other scales in the network.
• If one scale in the network is switched off, the data from this scale will not be taken into account in
the report.
• Deleting the report will not delete the Sales Journal. Deleting the Sales Journal will not delete the
report counters.
