SET UP
PC AND POWER CONNECTIONS
1. Choose one method of connecting the scale to your
PC: USB or RS232. (See Figure 1)
• Preferred method is USB if supported in carrier or
shipping software.
• USB connection must be used if scale is to
communicate with multiple carrier or shipping
software programs.
CAUTION! DO NOT connect both USB and RS232
cables at the same time.
2. Turn the scale over and make the PC connections as
follows:
USB
• Plug small end of USB cable into the scale
connector port marked "USB". (See Figure 2)
• Plug large end of the USB cable into the PC. A direct
connection to the computer is required. Do not use
a USB hub.
NOTE: The scale is adequately powered by the
USB port so the Power Supply is not needed with
the USB connection.
RS232
• Plug the Power Supply (required with RS232) into the
scale connector port marked "Power Supply". Plug
the small end of the RS232 cable into the scale
connector port marked "RS232". (See Figure 3)
• Connect the large end of the RS232 cable into the
PC port (generally labeled COM 1, COM A or IOIOI)
Plug Power Supply into AC outlet.
NOTE: If you plugged the RS232 cable into the
incorrect PC port, turn off the computer, then
change ports and restart your computer.
GEOCAL LOCATION
The very first time the scale is powered up, if the display
shows "0•0", skip to Software Configuration. If the display
shows "GEo in" (See Figure 4), then enter the GeoCal™
Location Codes as follows:
• Choose the code from the GeoCal™ Location
Codes chart that best matches your location.
• Press the
ZERO
key to scroll to that number.
Numbers will repeat.
• Press the
UNITS
key to select code, display will
show "donE". Press the
UNITS
key again and
scale will reboot. Display will show "0•0".
