Program 1400 - Scale Tare Weight Programming

A tare is the amount of weight representing the container, or package when items are sold by
weight. You can pre-program five tare weights, representing the weight of different
containers. When you place an item and a container on optional scale, you can enter the tare
number to automatically subtract the pre-programmed tare weight.
(Note: If your scale is reading pounds, enter the tare in pounds; if your scale is reading
ounces, enter the tare in ounces. The last tare digit must be a zero or five. For example, if the
tare is 1.15 lbs, enter 1150; if the tare is .095 lbs, enter 0095.)
If you choose to use tare #5 for manual tare weight entry, do not enter a weight for tare #5.
