Tare Weight
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 an 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 zero or five. Enter the tare
without pressing the decimal key. For example; if the tare is 1.15 lbs, enter 1150; if the tare is
.09 lbs, enter 0095.)
If you choose to use tare #5 for manual tare weight entry, do not enter a weight for tare #5.
(See TARE on page 235.)
