A Barcode Scanner can be used to quickly recall samples or limit sets from the scale’s database. To
connect the barcode scanner to the scale use a PS/2 Keyboard Wedge Y-Cable Connector.

1.
Clear the pan and turn the scale off.
2.
Locate the keyboard connection port at the rear of the scale, marked “Keyboard.”
3.
Insert the scanner’s PS/2 Connector into the scale’s port.
Note
: Do not use an external power input with the scanner. Power will be supplied through the PS/2 Port.

Select the function that will be used with your scanner and press the FUNCTION key.
2.
Use the navigation keys to select a desired slot.

key to continue.
