Introduction
Scales MK-TP (modification MF) provides several important functions that are used in commercial
and accounting operations.
MK-TP scales are the multifunctional device. For changing functions of scales you need to set up
appropriate mode of work (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1. Modes of work for MK-TP scales
* There is no TPS mode in packing scales.
Work in all modes consists of two phases: programming the scales and the work itself directly with
the items (Fig 2).
N o t e - To use the scales modification MF, instead of earlier versions, you must set the

1.3 Preparation for work
1.3.1 Assembly
Remove scales from packing.
Remove the scale pan. Remove transportation wedges from the scale platform (Fig. 3).
Connect the scale platform cable to the indicator (Fig. 4 a).
Pointing the cable inside the frame connect frame mounting apertures and scale platform arm. Se-
cure frame to arm connection with the screws (М5×10) (Fig. 4 b, c).
Screw out the conveying stop screw (Fig. 3), rotating it only counter-clockwise.
Connect the adapter plug to the scales.
Fig. 4. Assembly
1.3.2 Installation and powering on
Place the scales on a firm surface (table) that is not subject to vibrations. Screw the adjustable legs
into the base of the scale platform, so that the stand stop (Fig. 4 c), that serves as a stability purpose of the
scales, touches the table surface. Without breaking contact between the frame stop and the table, adjust
the legs so that the air bubble in level tube stays in the middle.
Place the scale pan on the cross-piece. Before powering ensures that the scales are not loaded and the
platform doesn’t touch any obstacles.
Connect adapter to the mains. Turn on the scales.
When the scales are powered on you should see the indicator test mode which appears as consecu-
tive figures change. After that scales are ready for operation.
1.3.3 Inserting paper
The scales could work with 2 types of rolls:
- label rolls with dimensions 30x58, 40x58, 60x58 or 90x58, when you use scales for label printing;
- ticket rolls with width 57mm, when you use scales for ticket printing.

!Remove the tape from printer only in its printing moving direction, previously cut off a
part of the tape in front of printer inlet.
•Easy-jerk lift the lid printer (Fig. 5a).
•Raise the paper flag clip (Fig. 3).
•Remove the tape leftover.
•Put on a roll at the appropriate holder (* in packaging scales ticket roll holder is not installed
(Fig. 5 b).
•Stretch the tape through the printer in direction pointed by arrows.
•Put on print cover.
•Drop the paper flag clip.
1.3.3.2 Scales with underwinding
Scales are used for automatic underwinding labels from the roll. To install the roll into scales with
winding, before lowering the flag:
•draw a hand on the latch belt in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 6 c), remove the clamp from the
reel, along with the spent tape (if available);
•wrap the end of the tape (stretched across the printer) around the reel. Direct retainer in the guide
spool and insert so that the end of the tape was jammed between the reel and lock;
•crank the reel with the tape at 360° hand counterclockwise. Edge of the label separated from the
substrate is divisible;
•drop the paper flag clip.
*Using scales with underwinding in the mode of ticket roll (modification of TPS) is not effective
because underwinding in this case makes no sense and is automatically disabled.
1.3.3.3 Manual label separate
In the scales provides the possibility of effective separation of labels from the roll in the scales with-
out underwinding. To do this:
•After printing edge labels will stop over separating plate (Fig. 7 а);
•With a touch index finger reject the label down with tape (Fig. 7 b). Edge of the label separates
from the tape;
•Remove the label from the tape, hold the upper edge by the thumb and forefinger (Fig. 7 c).
Notes
1 Released labels of the tape can freely fall down in the prepared container.
2 If the tape begins interfere with work, it could easily break off the edge of a separable with respect
to the plate.
3 If edge labels are not removed when you or a detachable edge is too small, then it is necessary to
correct stopping place labels. The recommended place to stay when the edge labels do not reach the end
of the separating plate 1 ÷ 2 mm (Fig. 7 a).
The order changing the place of the stop labels described in point 2.4.2.3.
4 First label after power weights or after filling the roll is of the control and in print from the printer
is empty.

2.4.2.5 Underwinding
Turn ribbon underwinding drive on or off (only for scales MK_FP-U10, MK_TP-U10).
2.4.3 Configuring ports of scales
2.4.3.1 Configuring of Ethernet
Setting when you want to connect scales via Ethernet. Structure of number of scales: IP- address;
subnet mask; network port.
IP-address is a unique identifier of the scales in TCP/IP network, comprising four groups of num-
bers each not to exceed the value of 225, separated with dots. The address is required to register the scales
from the customer’s software end and to communicate date between them.
As the scales are connected to network, system administrator must assign the respective address to
all scales based on the network settings.
Enter IP address via keypad: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn - is any number from 000 to 255. Press
button.
N o t e - several scales shall not have same IP-addresses.
Subnet mask. In TCP/IP networks context, subnet mask or net mask is a bit mask to determine
which part of the network unit’s IP address shall be referred to network address, and which shall be re-
ferred to unit address within the same network. Subnet mask comprises four groups of numbers each not
to exceed the value of 225, separated with dots, assigned by system administrator and set in the scales’
settings.
By keyboard set subnet mask: mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm, where mmm - any digit from 000 to 255.
Press button.
Network port - Network port is a TCP and UDP protocols’ parameter (used in TCP/IP networks) to
make for designation of data packages in IP format, as are communicated to computer via network. This
is a conventional number from 0 to 65535 enabling independent data obtaining for various programs run
on one computer.

By keyboard set port number from 0 to 65535. Press button.
Recommended port for scales - 5001.
2.4.3.2 Configuring RS-232
RS-232 port in label printing mode set for computer connection only.
2.4.4 On-line mode
In the on-line mode, scales transfer parameters for each transaction (the result of weighing, time of
weighing, PLU, etc.), immediately after its completion. Parameters are passed via interface RS232,
Ethernet, also on the flash memory card (if it’s inserted in the scales). The results of transactions records
can be used for systematic analysis of turnover.
Data format is described on the CD, included in the delivery.
2.4.5 Work with memory card
Memory card is used when you want to transfer:
- user data from PC to scales;
- user data from one to another scales;
- totals from scales to PC.
How to download user data from memory card to scales:
- insert card to scales' socket (Fig. 13) until it slightly clicks, which means fixation of card in the
socket, then;
- in operator’s menu select “Memory card”. By , buttons select “Read from card”, press
button.
- push the memory card slightly into the scales’ socket, and then abruptly let it to take the card out of
the socket.
Procedure for transfer of the database and the totals from scales to memory card is similar to de-
scribed above, only instead of typing “Read from card” should set the “Save to card”:

2.4.6 Language setting
By , buttons select language, press button.
2.4.7 Price Format
Depending on the accepted currency in the country scales have the ability to display the price and
cost in four formats, e.g. 3.20; 0.320; 32.0; 320.
By , buttons select 0.00; 0.000; 0 or 0.0. Press button.
