Scale Adjustments

58
The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The
first, and most frequently performed, is 'zeroing' the scale. This
operation resets the scale's "at rest" reading to zero which must be
within the range of - 0.2 pounds (- 0.09kg) to +0.6 pounds
(0.27kg) since the last calibration. While the 'at rest' reading
remains within the zero range, the scale will automatically adjust
itself to true zero. The scale also automatically zeros itself on
power-up if the weight present on the scale is within these defined
limits.
Zeroing the Scale
The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other
store personnel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Push Button
should return the scale to Normal Operation. If the zero point
moves out of the zero range due to debris accumulation or other
causes, pressing the Scale Zero Push Button will not reset the zero
point. In this case the weigh platter must be cleaned, debris chutes
cleared of debris or the scale must be recalibrated.
With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:
1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the
scanner/scale.
2. Press the Scale Zero Push Button. (See
