(Refer to 4.5)
Command key /

multiplied by K. K: up to 8 digits including decimal point.

(*4)
TIME
(*1) Function lamp is turned ON and OFF every time FUNC key is pressed. Sub function is assigned to number key, only when
Function lamp is ON.
(*2) Pressing the indicated key of EP-90 is equivalent to sending the command code here from a computer to the balance. For
further information on command codes, refer to the balance’s instruction manual. When the connected balance is not
equipped with the concerned function, the command is not recognized.
(*3) This key on EP-90 only turns it ON/OFF. With balance series for which detailed conditions of auto print function can be
selected (UW/UX, BW-K/BX-K etc.), the current settings on the balance remain valid. Refer to the balance’s instruction
manual for the details. Auto print is activated even with the series for which auto print cannot be set on the balance (BL,
EL/ELB etc.). As soon as stability is resumed after sample is loaded at zero display, the mass value is automatically printed out.
(*4) Only with the balances equipped with built-in clock. Refer to the balance’s instruction manual for details of built-in clock.
(*5) Receives the mass data from the balance, then EP-90 processes it and print out the checkweighing result. This function
works separately from the checkweighing functions of UW/UX series, BW-K/BX-K series, etc. Works with any balance
connected to EP-90.
