weight and tare} should be used when communicating with a computer. It contains

information on the current modes and status of the system sufficient to compute the

gross

tare

and

net

and whether the scale is in

gross

net

mode.

F4.6 Time and Date Format

Controls the order in which time and date is printed.

F4.7 Print Format

Controls the order print data items are sent out to the port.

F4.8 Total Format

Controls the order totals items are sent out to the port.

F4.9 Weight Accumulation

Causes a running total based on displayed weight to be maintained. There are a total of

ten (10) registers that can be used to store totals. To view a current total without clearing

it or to select a new accumulation register use the

sub-total

function. To view and clear

totals use the total function. Note: You dont have to use the same total and sub-total

registers, you can total one while accumulating to another.

F5.0 Piece Weight Enable

Enables the front panel [PC WT] button. This function is used for counting. You are

given nine (9) registers in which you store weight values for single items. When a register

is selected the weight on the scale is divided by the value in the register and the number

of items is displayed. To turn this function off and return to the normal weighing mode,

set the register to 0. Note, that this counting function is limited to display resolution

and will not be as accurate as a dedicated counting scale it is provided for convenience

only. This mode must be disabled in Legal for Trade applications.

F5.1 Consecutive Number

Enables the front panel [CN] button. This allows you to view and set a consecutive

number which may be printed. It will automatically be incremented by one each time a

print is performed.

F5.2 ID Number

Enables the front panel [ID] button. This allows you to view and enter

values, used

only for printing.
