F.REESTYLE ADVANCE PL DOUBLE PRINT
This configuration allows the operation of the two printers in the following ways:
-Double label printer configuration
-It allows the printing of two label layouts of different dimensions through the use of a printer with a
label roll, for example 58x40 mm, and on the second printer the possibility of printing a label of
different dimensions, for example 80x80 mm.
-Configuration of a label printer and a continuous roll printer
-It allows you to print on the label roll when operation is in "single ticket" mode, while with the other printer it allows
you to print a multi-weighted transaction receipt. In the case of the continuous roll, you can choose between
traditional support with liner, support material for adhesive paper, or even linerless rolls (self-adhesive)
-Double receipt printer configuration
-Allows direct printing of each operator on continuous roll. Also in this case you can use a traditional
support with liner, support material for adhesive paper, or even linerless rolls (self-adhesive)

C.THERMAL ARTA
The quality of the thermal paper used on Omega equipment is critically important to the life of the
thermal print head.
For this reason, it is recommended that you use a type of paper that conforms to the specification below.
In addition to paper quality, the following types of roll can be installed on all printers:
-roll with labels. The classic rolls of labels with liner support of farie types of material
-continuous non-adhesive roll. The normal non-adhesive paper rolls that are used with all thermal
printers
-traditional adhesive continuous roll. Rolls of adhesive paper placed on liner support made of farie types of
material
-continuous self-adhesive roll (linerless). Self-adhesive rolls that allow printing without having to have a
support, liner.
One of the main paper producers in the world is FASSON, whose technical data sheet is attached

THEINSTALLING THE SCALE
TOLIMENTATION
The installation of the "OMEGA Freestyle" scale must be done with great care and attention, in
order to ensure maximum operating safety of the equipment.
Therefore it is essential to strictly observe the following rules:
-Power the scale only with the power supply supplied, this power supply must be connected to a
preferential line (220 V±10% - 50 HZ) that starts directly from the meter or from the distribution
panel avoiding that the same connects other equipment with high absorption (refrigerator
compressors, slicers, neon lamps, etc.). The power supply line of the instruments must be
connected to a single electrical phase to avoid imbalances in the interconnections of the scales.
-Install a socket with side earth contacts (SCHUCO) for each scale; the connection to the earth
line is essential to allow the OMEGA Freestyle scale to work correctly. It is also advisable that
auxiliary sockets useful for test instruments are available near the scales.
ATTENTION!AN ELECTRIC LINE WITHOUT AN EARTH WIRE COULD CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION
OF THE SCALE OR DAMAGE TO ITS ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS. THEREFORE, WE DISCLAIM ANY
LIABILITY FOR ANY OPERATING DEFECTS OR FOR ACCIDENTS TO THE OPERATORS RESULTING
FROM THE NON-COMPLIANCE OF WHAT WE RECOMMEND.
SWITCHING ON THE SCALE AND AUTOMATIC ZEROING
The switching on of the scale must be carried out only with the plate unloaded, clean and without objects above it and the
scale will be placed with the weight system at “zero”.
By selecting the power key, the scale loads the operating system and starts automatically. Both the operator
display and the customer display will show in sequence some boxes containing the messages relating to the
scale start-up operations. Such messages indicating the completion of the various initialization operations,
including:
During this phase, the operator's side display shows the following display sequence:
-turning on the scale
This image remains present during the first phase of switching on the scale in which the system is loaded. In
the next phase, the scale presents the initialization phases on the operator display.

Once the checks and verifications have been completed, the scale prepares for start-up, consequently all the display sections
will be enabled for the assigned functions.
The scale is functional and ready for use. Graphics like the one in the figures below are shown on the customer
and operator side displays

-Press the "Power on / off”Located on the back of the scale
-A message will be shown informing you of automatic shutdown after 30 seconds, in case this is
not canceled
-Press the "ENTER"To start the shutdown procedure (the OmegaBilance logo and the progress bar

UTILIZZO OF THE SCALE
THESETTING THE PRICE
The price per kg can be set indifferently before or after placing the goods on the weighing pan.
By setting the price with the numeric keypad, the display will show "PRICE € / Kg" for calculating the
amount of the item placed on the scale plate.
It is possible to execute the transaction immediately if, after setting the price of the item, you proceed directly
to the identification of the operator.
The button "C.”Allows you to cancel any setting errors.
All the totals of the weighs whose prices have been entered directly with the alphanumeric keyboard will
be totalized as "ARTICLE 0" and "FAMILY 0".
It is possible to inhibit the use of article 0; in this case the operator will be able to use only the prices stored and associated
with the PLUs (programming using the “Network 7” management software).
RECALL OF PRICES and STORED TARE (PLU)
To recall a stored price (PLU) press the key"PLU ",use the numeric keypad to compose the number
of the product to be treated and press"ENTER "to confirm. In addition to the price and the tare, a
description and possibly an image will appear on the display according to what has been
programmed.
It is possible to execute the transaction immediately if, after setting the article number, you proceed
directly to the identification of the operator.
The scale is equipped with a keyboard designed to quickly recall the stored products (the maximum number
varies according to the type of keyboard present).
Normally the keys of this keyboard recall a number of product codes according to the number of “direct PLU”
keys, but it is possible to program the keyboard to recall the data of the most used products.
The maneuver for entering prices and PLU data to be stored is possible using the "Network 7"
management software.
MULTIPLICATION OF GOODS SOLD BY THE BODY
If the number of products sold in bulk or returns is more than one, after setting the unit price, or
recalling a PLU as explained above, it will be possible to carry out a multiplication operation.
By pressing the key"X ",by typing the number of pieces on the numeric keypad and confirming with the "
ENTER"the result of the operation will be automatically calculated and displayed together with the number of
items counted and the unit price.
The scale, inhibited by the normal weighing function for the entire duration of the operation, returns active
only when the operator is identified to record the transaction or by selecting another PLU or by pressing the
key"C ".
It is possible to execute the transaction immediately if, after setting the number of pieces, you proceed directly
to the identification of the operator.
DEDUCTION OF TARE VALUES
On the OMEGA Freestyle scale the tare values can be deducted in two different ways allowing the
determination of the net weight. Reference has already been made to the tare associated with a PLU. If this
has not been programmed or is not adequate, you can proceed as follows:
AUTOMATIC TARE
After placing the container or sheet of paper whose weight must be deducted on the weighing plate, by
pressing the "T.”The weight value detected will be displayed as TARE and not as WEIGHT.
MANUAL TARE
If you already know the value of the weight you want to tare, you can proceed as follows:
- by pressing the key"PT "the message "MANUAL TARE" will appear
- with the numerical keyboard the value of the tare to be deducted will be set
- by pressing the key"ENTER "the operation is confirmed and the scale returns to the normal weighing
function.
The maneuver listed above must be performed before placing the goods on the weighing pan and the
symbol"PT "on the displays it will indicate that the tare value has been set via the keyboard. If the tare
value entered, with any of the two systems listed above, is not correct, it can be canceled by pressing the
key"T "with unloaded plate.
