Tare Weight

If your scale item is placed in a box or container, you must deduct the container weight
from the overall item weight. This weight deduction is referred to as "tare weight".
To simplify operations, tare weights can be built into the Scale PLU. "Automatic Tare" is
possible when an item consistently uses the same packaging. If, for example, bulk salad is
always placed in a container that weighs 1 ounce, the 1 ounce tare weight can
automatically be deducted from the total salad weight. Or, if bulk pasta is always placed
in a 2-ounce container, the 2 ounces can automatically be deducted from the pasta weight.
If the tare weight is built into the item, use the normal procedures to register your scale
item. The tare is automatically subtracted from the item weight, and the customer pays
only for the net weight of the item.
If, however, the bulk item is placed in a variety of containers, you must manually enter a
tare weight. This is true, for example, if you do not have a "Salad Bowl" key and a "Salad
Plate" key, but rather have a single "Salad" key. The system cannot automatically deduct
a tare weight, because the customer may place salad on a plate that weighs 1 oz. or in a
bowl that weighs 1.5 oz. Use the following procedure to manually enter a tare weight.
Note:
If you normally use automatic tares, and the customer uses an atypical container
with his selection, you can also use the following procedure to manually enter the
alternate tare weight.
