BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read this section carefully. The following has some important safeguards to prevent damage or failure of your scale.
CLEANING THE SCALE:
1). You may use stainless cleaner or mild soap to wipe down the metal areas of the scale. The keyboards and display should be wiped down with a damp cloth only. While the keyboards and display are reasonably sealed, do not allow liquids to get between the plastic surfaces and the metal.
2). Use only the supplied cleaning kit to clean the print head. Do not use sharp objects around the print head or the pinch roller below it. Damaging these parts will cause your label printouts to be unreadable or you may even cause internal damage to the scale.
3). Do not immerse the power supply in water. This will cause possible electrical shock and failure of the adapter. Unplug adapter from power and wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not spray the adapter with cleaning fluids.
4). Keep the print cartridge area clean of any food or other debris. If contaminants are picked up by the labels and brought across the print head, it can cause labels to print poorly. This can also damage the print head.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE SCALE:
If you are going to program your scale using a personal computer, here are a few things you will need.
1). You will need to purchase a network adapter (hub) and two (2) category 5 cables. These can be purchased from electronics or department stores that sell computer equipment. A network adapter allows you to plug your computer and scale(s) into one hub. NOTE: You cannot plug the scale directly into your computer. Being your scale is actually a computer; all computers that communicate with each other require a network adapter to control data flow between machines.
