1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the CAS LP-2 price computing electronic printing scale. We have
designed this equipment with many advanced features, high quality construction, and user-friendly
menu driven programming. We are confident that you will find the CAS LP-2 scale will meet all of your
most demanding needs.
Sales data is easily acquired through many of the available reports which are quickly accessible
through the on-screen menus. Also available: 4 inch per second printing speed, 53 preset keys (106
using the SHIFT key), and several operation modes that enable you to control & limit access to the scale.
For larger operations, there is an in-store network that can have up to 32 scales. Another
powerful feature is RS-232 port, which can tie a scale to a personal computer (P.C.) for exporting or
importing program data. Because PLU and all other data files are kept locally in each scale’s RAM
memory, the scale’s speed is the same in a Network setting or as a stand-alone unit.
The LP-2 can be easily used with a wide variety of industry standard thermal labels. By simply
entering a label’s length and width dimensions, you can use practically any of them on the LP-2! You
can also use continuous strip labels or even thermal paper. You also can print logos, templates, Nutri-
Facts panels, ingredient messages, advertisement lines, and more.
Remember, for proper installation and maintenance please refer to the LP-2 Service Manual. A
wide variety of supplies, accessories, and expansion options are available through CAS (USA)
Corporation for whatever your new and increasing demands may require. Before attempting any
repairs or servicing please look over this manual careful or contact CAS (USA) Corp.
The LP-2 also comes with a trial version the SP-2 software package. This software runs on any PC
using the Windows95/98/2000 operating system. You can use the SP-2 program for as long as you
would like. You can design your own label formats on your computer screen and save them to your
hard drive. With this WYSIWYG interface, the labels you see on-screen appear exactly “as they will
print.” You can also manage all of the LP-2’s programs and options like pricing, PLU programming, etc.
You can upload data from an LP-2 or download data, perfect as an emergency backup system. All this
and many more features are packed into the SP-2 software package. The full version of the SP-2 system
will allow you to transmit and receive data from the scales. This makes the SP-2 software packagean
indispensable commodity for your business as.
