Changing Weighing Modes
Your scanning-scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds
or kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was
specified when you ordered your scanning-scale. If you need to change
from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call
You can verify that the scale is set correctly for your country’s requirements
by observing that the Remote Scale Display shows the appropriate mea-
surement symbol (lb or kg) when the power-up Selftest is completed.
Set-Up & Installation
These setup and installation procedures assume that you have already pre-
pared your checkstand to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. If you have
not already made the counter cutout and routed power and interface
cables, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your check-
stand has been prepared, proceed as follows:
Set-up
1. Place the unit on the checkstand next to the counter cutout.
2. Route the cables up through the cutout and connect the scanner
and scale interface cable(s), and Remote Scale Display cable
(optional) to the scanner. Some POS terminals require two inter-
face cables; one for the scanner interface and one for the scale
interface. Refer to
for cable connection locations. The
appearance of the connector panel will vary depending upon the
factory options purchased with your model.
If you have a scanner with no scale, there will be only one interface cable
to the POS terminal.
3. Connect the power cord to the scanner and route the other end
down through the checkstand to the AC power outlet. DO NOT
plug the power cord in at this time.
Any time the scale weighing mode is changed, the scale must be
re-calibrated before commercial use.
