Note:
Turning ON the balance before Windows* is completely
activated may cause incorrect operation.
Note:
This function may not operate on a PC on which a
normal U.S. version of Microsoft Windows* does not operate.
Some types of personal computers may not be able to use this
function or some features may be limited. Avery Weigh-Tronix
does not guarantee that this function can be used on all the
PCs without any problems currently or in the future.
y
Avery Weigh-Tronix is not liable for any direct or indirect
problems caused by this function. It is recommended
that important data or programs on your PC be backed-
up before using this function. For the operation of
Windows* or the PC, refer to commercial tutorials or the
appropriate instruction manual.
y
It is necessary to have the "Accessibility Options"
function of Windows* installed on the PC. To install
"Accessibility Options", select "Start" -> "Setting" ->
"Control panel" -> "Add /Remove Programs" and open
the "Windows Setup" tag. Place a check mark on
"Accessibility Options." For more information, see the
Windows* instruction manual.
y
Once the serial key device is made effective, software
which uses the RS-232C port on that PC does not
operate correctly, unless it is made ineffective again. If
an external modem, plotter or etc. is connected, remove
the check mark placed on "Using the serial key device"
and re-activate the OS after connection to the balance
is terminated.
Troubleshooting
When the Function Does Not Operate At All:
y
For some notebook PCs, it is possible to exclude the
RS-232C port for energy saving purposes. Set the PC
so that the RS-232C port can be used.
y
Change the settings of COM 1 to 4. Re-start Windows*
after the changes are complete.
y
Verify that the correct RS-232C cable is being used.
