UPDATING PC SOFTWARE AND FILES
INSTALLING RC40 PC SOFTWARE:
The RC40 PC software should already be installed on the PC from completing the “Quick Set-up” section of this
manual. If it is not, then please install the RC40 PC software found on the CD-ROM included in the box with the
scale.
1) Insert the CD into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. It should start automatically; make sure no other programs are
running. If after one minute the CD has not started, then:
a) Select “Run” from the “Start” menu.
b) Click “Browse” and navigate to the CD-ROM drive.
c) Select the file “SetupRC40.exe” on the CD-ROM and click “Open”.
d) Click “OK”.
UPDATE THE PC SOFTWARE & DATA FILES FROM THE INTERNET:
1) Connect to the Internet or dial-up your Internet service provider so that the PC is on-line.
2) From the desktop, double click on the RC40 Scale icon.
3) Click on the “Download latest rates from Internet” button on the RC40 software main screen. The software will
automatically contact the appropriate Internet site and download any updates to the PC software, the zip
code/zone charts and the rate tables. Follow any directions or prompts that may appear on the PC screen.
DETERMINING A SHIPPING RATE ON THE PC
Shipping rates can also be determined using the RC40 PC software without the presence of the scale.
1) To do so, double click on the RC40 Scale icon on the desktop.
2) Click on the “Lookup a rate” button on the main screen of the RC40 PC software.
3) Then, follow the prompts and any instructions shown in the lower left corner of the RC40 Scale software box. For
example:
a) First select a shipping company (carrier).
b) Select a service (shipping method).
c) Then enter an origin zip code for the package, if required. (Please note that any valid United States zip code
can be used as the origin zip code when determining a shipping rate on the PC using the RC40 PC software.
The RC40 PC software is not limited to the 5 origin zip codes programmed and downloaded to the scale.)
d) Next enter a destination zip code for the package, if required.
e) Enter the package’s weight in pounds and ounces.
f) The shipping rate will now appear.
g) Check the box if you wish to include any shipping surcharges in the shipping rates quoted.
h) Click on the “Add service” box to add any optional services such as C.O.D., insurance, etc.
