information, usi.ng a memory stick saves you having to enter the data at each machine.
You can store backup files which can be loaded to a machine should you ever experience
problems.

If you have a scale network that includes a host PC, you can back up and restore scale
data using MX050 Scale Support Tool. Contact Avery Berkel for more information.
Dumping
The USB or data backup software tool receives data from the machine and stores a copy
in its own memory until you wish to use it. The original data is retained by the machine.

machine is replaced or over written but is still retained by the USB or software tool.

to or received from the USB or data backup software:
