MERCURY PLUS 5.6 Soft keys 5.6.1 Introduction The Mercury Plus weighing-pricing machine allows you to associate up to 72 keys that directly access the PLU to be processed by means of the on-board keyboard and 128 with the optional external keyboard. A typical use of the soft-keys is for the crate weighing mode with store (see further on) via the keyboard.
Page 87: Programming
MERCURY PLUS 5.6.2 Programming To program the soft-keys, go to the Home of the application and press + S at the same time. The window that appears in the left-hand column contains direct access keys to which the PLUs can be linked, while any already allocated PLUs appear in the right-hand column.
Page 88 MERCURY PLUS PRODUCT WITH CONFIRMATION The plu associated with this soft-key in relation to the current status (normal plu or shift plu) is recalled after which a store is produced and added to the end. PRODUCT WITHOUT CONFIRMATION The plu associated with this soft-key in relation to the current status (normal plu or shift plu) is recalled, but no store is produced.

MERCURY PLUS 5.16 Barcode reading 5.16.1 Introduction The BCREAD archive allows the user to define precise numeric structures, which will then be used to modify the processing data after readings made by a scanner (manual or via the line).

MERCURY PLUS ✔ Enter as store Always enter a PLU ID in the BC READ archive, otherwise a non-valid store indication will be obtained when the piece reaches the scale. Besides generating a store, it is also possible (if envisaged in the BC READ archive) to modify the process fields, which will be considered as global fields.

Page 203: Double Head Mode
MERCURY PLUS 6.5 Double head mode NOTE for the installer The double head mode is enaled in the MACHINE CONFIGURATION window. The double head mode is selected by means of the PRINT HEADS field of the PRINTERS group and it can only be selected if the IO expansion (PC104/1) has been previous enabled by means of the relative menu (IO EXPANSION).

MERCURY PLUS applicator (lack of enabling signal, stop owing to a reject, stopping), the piece is always and in any case stopped under the second (last) head. For example, in the case of static application, the piece will stop under the first head, will be labelled, restarted and will stop under the second head to be labelled.
Page 205 MERCURY PLUS stimulated. If the machine is forced to use the label reserve head again after an automatic commutation, commutation will not take place again and the printer will finish the labels, consequently generating the classic paper end error. During operation with one of the two heads, the other head can be subjected to any operation, such as paper changing, re-positioning, switch-off, switch-on.
Page 206: Labelling Machine Mode
MERCURY PLUS 6.6 Labelling machine mode A labelling function can be activated with the machine in the manual mode, after the processing limit (N° of labels to print) has been established. When the relative device is installed at the printer output, the labels will not be peeled and will be wound on a take-up roller.

MERCURY PLUS 7. MAINTENANCE 7.1 Foreword Certain simple servicing operations, described below, keep the machine in an efficient condition and avoid faults which could impair its performance. It is therefore of fundamental importance to train the personneabout how to carry out this servicing work. Besides the instructions in the manual, it is advisable for the servicing staff to be present when the machine is installed and to take part in the training course held by the manufacturer's authorized technicians.

Page 252 MERCURY PLUS ✔ linear: the link between the signal and the weight is considered to be linear and is therefore described by the equation of a straight-line; ✔ non-linear: the link between the signal and the weight can be described by a second degree equation. Calibration (2): information that describes the link obtained during calibration.

Multiple extensions: automatic method for changing the weighing range in systems with several ranges and different maximum capacities. Once the scale has been loaded, return to zero occurs within the last range switched.
Page 254 MERCURY PLUS Interface: group of circuits and channels that connect the terminal with the external devices to which it is linked. IP xx: protection degree for casings and housings containing electrical or electronic components. Indicates the protection of electronic constructions against the penetration of solid foreign bodies (the first figure) and against the penetration of liquids (the second figure).
