After the buffers are set up as explained in Section 8, the print format parameter must be
set to option 13 (see Section 6, parameter 15).
When the buffers are set up and print format 13 selected, the buffers can be used to print
as required. If multiple buffers are set up, the PROD button can be used to switch between
them. Press and hold the PROD button until "LbL" is displayed on the left part of the
display. The number of the current buffer will be shown on the right part of the display. Use
the UP or DOWN arrows to scroll through the list of available buffers. When the desired
buffer number is displayed, press PROD again, and that buffer will become active. All
prints then will use that buffer format.
TIME AND DATE
The time and date function is available as an option 42 OPT 27. If this option is ordered,
the time and date can be used in the print formats to provide this information on printouts,
labels, etc. In order to be Y2K compatible, the date entry accepts a 4 digit input for the
year.
To set the time and date, enter the calibration mode as described in Section 6. The
display will show "AVG**". Press the GROSS/NET button once to put the scale into the
calibration mode, as signified when the display shows active weight and an upper case 'C'
flashes in the far left-hand column. Press the UNITS button again to enter the time setting
routine. The current time will be displayed and updated in a 24 hour format only. The
UP/DOWN arrow will increment/decrement the column values, and the OVER/UNDER
buttons will move the selected column to change right/left respectively. Once the time has
been set, press the UNITS button once to enter the new time. The display will show the
new updated time.
Press the GROSS/NET button again to put the scale into the date setting mode. The
buttons used for setting the time will also function the same way to set the month,day,year.
Once the month/day is set, press the UNITS button to enter the new date. Press the
GROSS/NET button to put the scale into the year setting mode. Set the 4 digit year the
same way as the month/day and time. Press the GROSS/NET button again, to return to the
setup menu. The cycle can be repeated as necessary. Exit the "CAL" mode as explained
in section 6 to return to normal weighing.
