IMPORTANT NOTES -BEFORE YOU START
It is important to read carefully the notes marked with a symbol on the pages
contained in this manual. Not all configuration codes are designed to be used for
both a single and dual cable scanner/scale system. Many of the configuration
bar codes require additional steps before the unit can be configured and placed
into service. Most of the bar codes in this addendum were designed to be used
with a Stratos model that includes a scale. The text marked with a symbol will
provide important additional information about the restrictions and uses of the bar
codes shown.
All of the bar codes in this manual require:
•The scanner/scale to have a firmware number of 15367 or higher
•All configuration bar codes must be scanned with the vertical window
The Unit Configuration bar codes (located on pages 3 and 4 of this
addendum guide) require the scale security seal to be broken.
If the scale security seal is broken, it must be sealed and certified by local
Weights and Measures authorities after the scale calibration process has been
completed. The scanner/scale cannot be placed in service until it is sealed and
certified by the proper authorities.
For further details on calibration procedures for Weights and Measures
certification, refer to the Scale Operation: Calibration section of the Stratos
Installation and User’s Guide.
The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of
this scanner is subject to federal, state and local Weights and
Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by
authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered
agents. Each time the scale or weighing mechanism is calibrated,
it should be properly sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to
being placed into service in commerce.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm
compliance with the relevant Weights and Measures statutes and
regulations applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate
government agency before placing a newly calibrated unit into
service or removing any official seals.

IMPORTANT NOTES -BEFORE YOU START
Important Bar Codes
Scale Save Data Bar Code.
The Scale Save Data bar code must be scanned last to “save” the changes in the
scale’s memory. The scale will then reset and begin normal operation. This is
required only for scale configuration items – not for calibration.
Scale Save Data
³996045
Scale Type Bar Code.
The Stratos scanner should have been already programmed to recognize the
type K Diva scale. If, for any reason, the scanner’s non-volatile memory is lost,
the following bar code must be scanned to reprogram the scanner for the
type K Diva scale.
Type K Diva Scale
³446510

changed configuration (see page 2).
Scale Display
Single-Line Weight Only
³996003
Set the scale to use a single-line weight only
display to show all scale activity.
The single-line display must be plugged into
the Scale to Display connector on the
MS2xx0 (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Location of Scale to Display Connector
Scale Display
4-line Price Computing
³996009

SCALE CONFIGURATION BAR CODES
Single or Dual Cable Scale Configuration Bar Codes
Scale Settling Filter Configuration
The following bar codes can be used to configure a Single or
Dual Cable MS2xx0.
If the MS2xx0 is currently in a Dual Cable configuration, temporarily
disconnect the Scale to Host cable prior to configuring the scale.

The Scale Save Data bar code must be scanned last to save the
changed configuration (see page 2).
The scale’s filter setting allows the unit to withstand a certain amount of vibration
from the checkout counter. A stronger filter allows for more vibration to be
absorbed but the weight may take a little longer to settle. Scales are normally
shipped with a loose filter.
