Keyboard

e DC-300 Series counting scales feature a full alphanumeric keyboard with many
functions for managing inventory information.

a function key

(noted at the

bottom of the
key) allows you
to quickly view

values in respec-

tive registers.

Pressing SHIFT UP and a function key

(noted at the top of the key) allows you

to insert and delete data, and manipu-

late character size, case and spacing.

SCALE key

allows you to switch

between scale
A, B, C or D.

<< and >> moves the cursor

or scrolls though options

allows you to
print labels

Setpoints

e DC-300 Series offers versatile setpoint capabilities. Setpoints are beneficial for increasing
operator speed and lowering error due to over or under counting. Efficiency is improved in
kitting applications with the built-in alarm because the operator only has to listen for the alarm
to sound during filling instead of watching the display. e alarm sounds with a rhythmic
beeping at setpoint one and with a rapid beeping at setpoint two. e DC-300 Series offers
four different setpoint options. See examples* below for each setpoint option.
