The Tare Key
You can use the
TARE
key to override a PLU’s preset tare, enter a
sampled a tare, enter a manual tare, or clear a tare.
Sampled tares:
Sampled tares are tares that are acquired from the weight on the
platter. For example, if you have a container that you wish to tare but
you do not know what the weight of it is you can:
1. Start from the
Initial State
.
2. Place the empty container on the platter.
3. Press
TARE
.
Manual tares:
Manual tares are tares that you already know the weight of. For
example, if you have a container that you wish to tare and you know it
weighs “0.04 lb” you can:
1. Start from the
Initial State
.
2. Press
4
TARE
.
Clearing tares:
Both manual and sampled tares are cleared exactly the same way.
For example, if you have a tare set on the scale and you want to clear
it you can:
1. Remove all items from the platter.
2. Press
TARE
.
Overriding preset tares:
Sometimes you may want to temporarily change the preset tare of a
PLU. For example, if you have a PLU with a tare and want to use a
different tare you can:
1. Start from the
Initial State
.
2. Follow the instructions for sample or manual tare.
3. Follow the instructions for Calling Up a PLU
The PLU will use the new tare that you entered in step 2 until the PLU
is cleared.
