Scale Operations; Direct Scale Entry - Samsung ER-550 Operator's And Programming Manual

Scale Operations

The Samsung ER-550 can be interfaced to an optional load-cell scale. The scale interface allows
direct entry of an item's weight using the SCALE function. You can also choose "manual entry"
scale operation if you are working with a standalone scale that is not interfaced the scale to the cash
register. See "Function Key Programming" on page112.
Departments and PLUs must be set to "scaleable" status to allow scale multiplication. In most cases,
if you attempt an entry into a Department or PLU that has been programmed "scaleable", an error
tone will sound and the operator will be prompted to make a scale entry. See "Department
Programming" on page 85 or "PLU Programming" on page 89 to set "scaleable" status.
Departments and PLUs can be set to "auto scale" status to speed up scale entries by automatically
retrieving the weight on the scale and multiplying it times the amount entered. . See "Department
Programming" on page 85 or "PLU Programming" on page 89 to set "auto scale" status.
A tare is the amount of weight accounted for by the container or packaging. By entering a tare
weight (as required by law in some areas) the weight of the container is subtracted and only the true
weight of the product is measured on the scale. By entering the tare number (1-5) the operator can
automatically subtract the predetermined container weight when a product is on the scale. See "Tare
Weight Programming" on page 121.
