9.- Product type.
The WLS scale can manage 3 kinds of products: Weighable, Non-weighable and miscellaneous:
9.1.- Weighable products.
These are the products that their unitary price its in function of 1kg of their weight, for example:
Beans, flour, sugar, meat cuts, etc.
9.2.- Non-weighable products.
These are the products that their unitary price its in function of 1 piece of product, for example:
pineapple, watermelon, melon, corn, etc.
9.3.- Miscellaneous.
These products are not in the database of the scale but they can be manually added for their
selling. Also this kind of products can be divided into miscellaneous weighable products and
miscellaneous Non-weighable products.
10.- Scale operation.
10.1.- Zero adjustment.
To take a new reference as it was zero, make sure that the scale does not have any load on the
plate and press the button. .
10.2.- TARE function.
The TARE function is used when you need to weight products inside a container without
counting the weight from it. For using this function, put the container on the empty plate and
press the button
The weight indicator will return to zero and the Zero and Net indicators will be turned on, from
that moment you can put the product inside the container. If the container is retired from the
plate the scale will show the weight of the container but with a negative sign.
.
To deactivate the TARE function, remove the container from the plate and press the
button again, the weight indication will return to zero, the Zero indicator will be turned on and

Or from the numerical keyboard, by pressing
By pressing any of the previous buttons, will show the Search PLU window in which we
introduce the number of the PLU or the PLU name.
Search PLU by name.
In the next example we search the PLU “PORK”
By pressing the button the scale deploys the PLU directly.
The previous search happens because it already exist a PLU called “Pork” in the scale database.
On the other hand, if we don’t remember the name of the PLU, we can search it with their initial
letters:

- 14 -
In this example we search a PLU that begins with the letters “LOB”.
The scale will show us the results of the search in a new window:
To select and deploy the selected PLU just press it.
Search PLU by number.
The search using the PLUs number can be done by the exact or approximate number. In the next
example we search for, with the exact number, the PLU 1010:

- 15 -
By pressing , the scale deploys the PLU associated with the entered number
Also the search can be done using an approximate of the PLUs number, in the following
example the PLUs are searched with the starting number “101”.
Navigate between the results using the arrows, once founded the desired PLU push the icon to
deploy it.
For both search modes, if the search doesn’t give any result the following message will appear
“No results were found”.

- 16 -

10.5.1.- Pre-pack mode – Weighable products sale.
For selling a weighable product we must follow the next steps:
1.- Select the PLU.
2.- Put the product on the scale.
3.- Wait until the weight stabilizes, once stabilized, the scale will print the label automatically.
To avoid the scale print labels automatically it should disable this function, to do this see section

2.- Press on the numerical keyboard.
3.- The quantity screen will start flashing:
4.- Press to put the quantity in 0.
5.- Enter the quantity of pieces that are going to be sold and press the PRINT button.
For both cases, once printed the label, the current view of the screen will return to where the
product was selected. If desired to avoid the previous step, to work with only one product
without selecting it multiple times, select the product and press fixed price.
This button will keep fixed the product and the unitary price allowing printing only labels of the
selected item.
