Scanner and Scale Reset

Scale Adjustments

Product Reference Guide
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/
scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary
to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset
command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit's internal Selftest rou-
tine.
Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately
eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of
beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the
motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the
scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa-

chapter.
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 per-
sonnel. 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 recal-
ibrated.
