Notes on A5 Auto Power Off Period:
1. Should be set to “OFF” if there is no internal battery.
2. The scale “chirps” three times with 30 seconds left, then “chirps” three times again with 3
seconds left before it shuts itself off.
Multi-Item Print
The EL-3000 comes standard with a feature called “Multi-item Print”. This allows the user to have a
printout of each weighment transaction plus the total. To enable this feature, select “1” for A4 in the
User Menu and plug a serial printer into the DB-9 connector on the back of the scale. You may also
need to alter the serial parameters A1 and A2 in order to match the printer’s requirements.
Shown at right is an example of the multi-item
print function. Each weighment is printed when the
M+
key is pressed. The total accumulated weight
is pressed when the
MR
key is pressed.
