STATEMENT

Please refer to PC software management manual in attached CD about the PLU editing, hotkey downloading, label editing and parameter setting etc.

1 SUMMARIZATION

 Simple and easy to operate

1. You can use single key to sell PLU quickly. Clerk can operate this scale without training.

2. This scale has 112 direct keys (224 hotkeys can be set) and can set hotkeys for most of the common goods.

 Advanced function and endurance

1. Firmware program can be updated through PC in order to keep advanced and up to date.

2. FlashRom protection function assures the security of program and source.

3. Keyboard can be cleaned. It resists dirty with great validity.

4. Printer is designed elaborately and not easily subject to paper jam.

5. Barcode rotation can prolong the life of printer head. Printer core can be adjusted according to label paper.

6. Printer can load 1000 pieces of label paper while other printer can only load 800 pieces of label paper.

7. There are several package methods (fixed weight, and fixed price). Barcode printer is specially designed.

8. Piece together function, which can gather several kinds of commodity as required, such as fruit basket.

9. 12000 pieces of PLU can meet all kinds of demand.

10. Every piece of PLU can be set to use multiple labels.

11. Every piece of PLU can use single barcode format, which resolves the coding problems during selling.

12. Every piece of PLU can use single metric unit.

13. Numeric unit can be defined by user such as block, package and entries.

14. Sufficient PLU message includes barcode format, live commodity Code and package type and so on.

15. Label can be printed in rotated position.

16. Support 8 code, Ean-13 code, and 18 code and resolve the coding problem of live commodity.

17. Special barcode type for the convenience of live commodity lot management.

 Convenient, flexible and powerful software support

1. What you see in label designing is what you get. Label size can be selected. Volume of smallest area can be created

according to user. Thus we can decrease cost greatly.

2. International design and supporting worldwide language make it unnecessary to add any accessory.

3. We can adjust the popular commodity at any time and improve the foregrounding working efficiency greatly.

4. Downloading data can be executed in scheduled time.

5. Background discounts fixedly.

6. Discount in different period of time. Ten discount modes can be defined and each mode has five periods of time using

different discount rate.

7. It supports broadcast downloading.

8. With the function of FTP and TCP/IP. The software supports Unix system and Internet.

9. We can set POS program parameters on PC.

10. Its management is separated into machine, commodity, and hotkey, which make usage of the scale optimum.

11. We can edit and print keyboard sheet quickly with this software.

12. Locking the POS function key can control its operation such as locking discount key and PLU edit key. Also it offers

function to unlock password.

13. It is managed by multi-user and records login information automatically in order to supervision.

14. It offers dynamic link library for the convenience of user‟s second development.

6.2 Calculate by Weight

There are three kinds of operation. If PLU data is downloaded by background server PC or pre-edited in the

scale, operation follows method 1 or method 2. Otherwise the operation follows method 3.

Notes:

1. AUTO state: On the condition that the weight and the unit are nonzero and after the weight is steady, a

label will be printed. When power on, “AUTO” signal is lighted, which means the scale is in “AUTO” state.

Press “AUTO” key to switch off the state. Suggest making “AUTO” state as default state.

2. ZERO state: There is nothing on the pan. Press “ZERO” key to let the weight zero and the “ZERO” signal

will be on.

3. Usage of Print key: All of the following operations including Calculate by Weight, Tare Operation, and

Calculate by Piece, Discount, and Change Price are in the “Auto” state. If the default state is not “Auto” state, the Auto arrow on the LCD won‟t be lightening, you must press Print key in order to print the label.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING

The scale breaks down:

1. There is no sound and no display but backlight when power is on.

Reason: Electric sparkle caused by power plugging in and pulling out destroys the ROM program in the main

board.

Treatment: Change main board, reset sequence number and download all records.

2. There is no sound and displaying „UPDATE‟ when power is on.

Reason: The same as the above. Treatment: Download POS program to the scale again.

Treatment: a. Adjust the scale according to the following sequence.

Enter system Enter label type Select label type function set selection as D0 by arrow

b. Also we can adjust the software with PC. Open Link 32, input serial number of the scale, run

command function set and download this function set to the scale.

2. Printer spits out half paper or one and a half papers and paper locates abnormally.

Reason: a. Paper type sensor set error b. Printer back photoelectric group is in wrong direction or covered by dust. c. Photoelectric board is bad.

d. Photoelectric group of back photoelectric is bad.

Treatment: a. According to the following sequence, adjust the scale.

Enter system Enter paper Select paper type as Set function sensor selection „Label‟ with arrow

We can also make software adjustment on computer. Open „Link32‟, set paper type as „Label‟ in function

set; download the set to the scale.

b. Check whether the back photoelectric group is gradient or covered by dust. c. If it can‟t be resolved yet it is necessary to exchange back photoelectric group, which had better be

handled by the professional of our company.

3. Label out of printer is obscure and not dark enough.

Reason: a. Printer header is not put well.

b. Hot sensor head is dirty.

c. It is necessary to carry on voltage learning. Treatment: a. Place printer header in suitable position b. Clean the thermal printer with the cleaning pen attached.

4. Label printed out is half clear and half blur even blank.

Reason: a. Printer header is not put well.

b. Hot sensor header is dirty.

c. Printer header is distorted. Treatment: a. Place printer header in suitable position. b. Clean the thermal printer with the cleaning pen attached. The cleaning pen is an alcohol pen; please

cover it immediately after you wipe the dirty off.（Please refer to the demonstration below.）

c. If this problem can‟t be resolved yet it is necessary to change the printer. The bad printer had better

to be handled by professional of our company.

Reason: a. Rubber pad, which sustains the scale pan, touched the shell (upper cover).

① Open the thermal printer head

② Clean the thermal printer head.

Clean the thermal printer head.

36

b. Humidity or component aging or area difference makes the scale weigh incorrectly.

c. Sensor is damaged by over loading. Treatment: a. Check whether the upper covers are buckled well. If they still knock each other, install sensor

sustainer again.

b. Study zero weight and full weight again. If it is still no use, change main board, OP board or even

the sensor.

c. Change sensor and sustainer.

Note: OP board and sensor should be returned to our company in principal if they can‟t be used.

2. Zero state is not stable.

Reason: a. It is affected by environment such as vibration, or magnetic field interference, or wind. b. Weighing circuit is affected with damp. Treatment: a. Remove interference. b. Change main board. c. If the problem can‟t be resolved. Return the whole scale to our company to repair.

are two types of communication port RS-232 which uses 9-pin or 25-pin connecting port attached with the scale and RS-422 which uses RST-11A connecting head.

d. If the above are right, detect whether main board or power board is wrong and change the wrong

main board or power board.

2. Downloading is stopped at 1/N (n represents some number) and computer shows message

“communicate error!”

Reason: Main board is error, which may be caused by chip damage. Treatment: Change main board or chip (ROM).

Question about display:
