1SUMMARIZATION
Simple and easy to operate
1. You can use single key to sell PLU quickly. Clerk can operate this scale without training.
2. This scale has 112 direct keys (224 hotkeys can be set) and can set hotkeys for most of the common goods.
Advanced function and endurance
1. Firmware program can be updated through PC in order to keep advanced and up to date.
2. FlashRom protection function assures the security of program and source.
3. Keyboard can be cleaned. It resists dirty with great validity.
4. Printer is designed elaborately and not easily subject to paper jam.
5. Barcode rotation can prolong the life of printer head. Printer core can be adjusted according to label paper.
6. Printer can load 1000 pieces of label paper while other printer can only load 800 pieces of label paper.
7. There are several package methods (fixed weight, and fixed price). Barcode printer is specially designed.
8. Piece together function, which can gather several kinds of commodity as required, such as fruit basket.
9. 12000 pieces of PLU can meet all kinds of demand.
10. Every piece of PLU can be set to use multiple labels.
11. Every piece of PLU can use single barcode format, which resolves the coding problems during selling.
12. Every piece of PLU can use single metric unit.
13. Numeric unit can be defined by user such as block, package and entries.
14. Sufficient PLU message includes barcode format, live commodity Code and package type and so on.
15. Label can be printed in rotated position.
16. Support Ean-13 code and 18 code, and resolve the coding problem of live commodity.
17. Special barcode type for the convenience of live commodity lot management.
Convenient, flexible and powerful software support
1. What you see in label designing is what you get. Label size can be selected. Volume of smallest area can be created
according to user. Thus we can decrease cost greatly.
2. International design and supporting worldwide language make it unnecessary to add any accessory.
3. We can adjust the popular commodity at any time and improve the foregrounding working efficiency greatly.
4. Downloading data can be executed in scheduled time.
5. Background discounts fixedly.
6. Discount in different period of time. Ten discount modes can be defined and each mode has five periods of time using
different discount rate.
7. It supports broadcast downloading.
8. With the function of FTP and TCP/IP. The software supports Unix system and Internet.
9. We can set POS program parameters on PC.
10. Its management is separated into machine, commodity, and hotkey, which make usage of the scale optimum.
11. We can edit and print keyboard sheet quickly with this software.
12. Locking the POS function key can control its operation such as locking discount key and PLU edit key. Also it offers
function to unlock password.
13. It is managed by multi-user and records login information automatically in order to supervision.
14. It offers dynamic link library for the convenience of user‟s second development.

4.3 Power on/off
At the first ten seconds after you turn on the scale, the LCD displays from “9” to “0” to enter self-testing.
Please wait and do not press any key, system initialization is going on.
“On/Off” key is used to turn on or turn off the scale softly. Press this key and hold it for 2 seconds to turn off
the scale, and so as how to turn down it. (Note: this key takes effect by the condition that the plug has
connected and the power switch under the scale is turned on.)
We suggest that you should use On/Off key to turn On/Off the scale, and do not pull out the power plug
directly if it hasn‟t been softly turned down, especially if the scale is under the conditions of connecting with
network or downloading data.

6SALES OPERATION
6.1 Calculate by Weight
There are three kinds of operation. If PLU data is downloaded by background server PC or pre-edited in the
scale, operation follows method 1 or method 2. Otherwise the operation follows method 3.
Picture 1 can help you understand the operation.
(Picture 1)
Notes:
1. AUTO state: On the condition that the weight and the unit are nonzero and after the weight is steady, a
label will be printed. When power on, “AUTO” signal is lighted, which means the scale is in “AUTO” state.
Press “AUTO” key to switch off the state. Suggest making “AUTO” state as default state.
2. ZERO state: There is nothing on the pan. Press “ZERO” key to let the weight zero and the “ZERO” signal
will be on.
3. Usage of Print key: All of the following operations including weighing and price-calculating, tare
package, granular price-calculating, and discount and changing price are in the “Auto” state. If the default
state is not “Auto” state, the Auto arrow on the LCD won‟t be lightening, you must press Print key in order
to print the label.
METHOD 1: HOTKEY OPERATION
Trade example: Some onions weighing 2.000kg are sold . Its hotkey is 01, and price is 0.500$/kg.

NOTES:
1) There are 224 hotkey. These hotkeys can be changed randomly and be printed in a sheet quickly by
the background PC.
2) The above opreation is for the hotkeys from 1 to112. As to hotkeys from 113 to 224, the above
operation step 3 should be changed as follows: Press “PLU” key and press the hotkey no. of the
commodity. Other steps are the same.

6.2 Tare Operation
It is only applicable to the commodity packed in package or container such as eggs, beans or fruit and so on.
There are two kinds of operation including commodity separated or not separated from package or container.
Please refer to picture 2.
