Manual Tare Weight Entry - Sam4s SPS-300 Series Operator's And Programming Manual

Scale Operations
The SPS-300 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 to the
cash register.
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.
Refer to the "Service Mode Programming" and "Program Mode Programming" chapters to set
your scale options. See:
SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.34

PLU's must be set to "scalable" status to allow scale multiplication. If you
attempt an entry into a PLU that has been programmed "scalable", an error tone
will sound and the message "REQ. SCALE ENTRY" will display.

PLU's 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.

PLU's can be set to "auto tare" status to automatically subtract one of the
preprogrammed tare weights when the PLU is registered.

"Function Key Assignment" to place SCALE and TARE keys on the keyboard.

"RS232C Port Options" to attach a scale to one of the ports.

"Function Key Programming" to set options for the SCALE and TARE keys.

"PLU Programming" to set scalable, auto scale, or auto tare status.
