1.1 Warnings
Safe Installation
The mains plug must be inserted into a socket outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket
outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
CAUTION: The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the
socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket outlet. Permanently connected equipment must
have a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the fixed wiring.
USA
If the scale is connected to a 240V supply, the receptacle must be protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
Safe use
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the machine and isolate from the
power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance.
To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a flat and level surface.
Take care when placing large, heavy produce such as water melons on the weigh plate so that they do not roll off the
machine.
Cleaning the machine
CAUTION: Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing soda, should not
be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to wipe the inside of the
machine.
The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth moistened with water containing a small
amount of washing up liquid. The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with
water containing a small amount of a proprietary detergent.
Training
Do not attempt to operate or carry out any procedure on a machine or network unless you have received the appropriate
training or read the Instruction Books.
Ergonomics
To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it is important to ensure that the machine is placed on a surface which is
ergonomically satisfactory to the user. It is recommended that frequent breaks are taken during prolonged usage.
EMC compliance
The following warning may be applicable to your machine.
WARNING: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case

Chapter 2 About Your Machine
2.1 Description
The XS series provides a complete set of system scales and printers to suit the different requirements of fresh food
counters, self-service, pre-pack areas and point of sale areas for supermarkets and speciality stores. They may be used in
stand-alone mode or linked together to form scale networks. Each network can be connected to a back office or head
office computer, to provide store or even business wide central management.
The scales can operate in a number of different modes, printing individual labels for each item or combining the
shoppers’ items together and printing a single receipt.
The XS series build types cover a range of counter service terminals, including:
XS 100 Monobloc scale
This model provides a compact weighing terminal with integrated vendor and customer display. The scale has a 58 pre-
set key keyboard for PLU selection and an additional 23 full-travel tactile keys for regularly used functions.

XS 200 Head up Display (HUD)
Scale with column mounted customer display and a vendor display located on the base unit. The display, keyboard and
weighing characteristics are identical to the mono bloc unit. The scale has a 58 pre-set key keyboard for PLU selection
and an additional 23 full-travel tactile keys for regularly used functions.

XS 300 Self-service scale
This provides 40 user programmable ‘Full travel’ keys placed on a large keyboard mounted on a separate column
assembly. The keyboard unit connects to the scale via USB and the mounting arrangement allows for easy location and
removal of the XS scale unit. The keyboard unit provides facility to insert a product-legended A4 sized sheet over which
there is a transparent protective cover.

XS 400 Two-piece scale
This has the keyboard and both displays mounted on the tower column, this maximises eye-level interaction between
operator and customer. The scale has a 58 pre-set key keyboard for PLU selection and an additional 23 full-travel tactile
keys for regularly used functions.
2.2 Programming
Depending on how it is configured your XS scale can operate as three different machines: a counter scale; pre-pack
machine, or a full cash control Electronic Cash Register (ECR). Before it can be used it must be programmed with Product
Look Up codes which can be assigned to single keys on the Pre Set keyboard.
This programming is done from Manager Mode using a dedicated keyboard template. Programming is covered in a
separate Programmers manual. This document is for operators and covers day to day operation of the XS series scale.

2.3 Vendor Display
All XS series customer and vendor displays are 320 x 128 dot resolution LCD dot-matrix displays with white LED back-
light.
The layout of the display is designed to provide all relevant information according to its mode of operation, whilst
providing an easy-to-use interface for the customer and vendor.
Date and time are permanently displayed, along with a status area showing network status, printer status, label/receipt
mode and activity indicator.
The top left-hand corner of the display is reserved to allow a logo to be permanently displayed. This logo is stored in the
machine using a scale management application (contact Avery Berkel for details).
Different character sets can be supported for the various countries, including Latin, Greek Hebrew and Arabic.

Mains power
The mains plug must be inserted into a socket outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket
outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
2.6 Keyboards
The Xs series features a 58 key user-programmable keyboard having a hard-wearing, touch sensitive, wipe clean surface.
The user programmable area has a hard-wearing, tear-resistant, transparent pocket under which a user-defined insert
may be slotted into place. Tough, flexible plastic inserts are supplied with the scale; it is possible to write on these with a

non-permanent felt marker which can be erased if a change to the user-programmed key is made in the future. The
reverse side of the insert contains all the keys necessary to programme the scale.

Chapter 3 Printing
3.1 About the printer
The XS series printer is a heavy duty label and receipt printer, with a single motor driving both the paper feed and paper
rewind systems. Receipt tally roll, die cut labels or continuous sticky paper can be used.
Approved labels and paper rolls are available from a number of suppliers, whose addresses can be obtained from your
Avery Berkel centre.
The paper roll is loaded onto the spindle and the paper passed through the aperture at the rear of the open print
mechanism.
To ensure the print head can be cleaned easily, the print head is raised well clear of the lower body when in the open
position ensuring good access.
Printer roll dimensions
These dimensions are approximate and for guidance only. Refer to the appropriate Thermal Label/Receipt Material
Specifications for further information.
