Changing Weighing Modes

Your scanning-scale has been programmed for weighing in either pounds or kilograms depending upon the initial operating environment that was specified when you ordered your scanning-scale. If you need to change from pounds to kilograms or vice-versa, call technical support.

You can verify that the scale is set correctly for your country’s requirements by observing that the Remote Scale Display shows the appropriate measurement symbol (lb or kg) when the power-up Selftest is completed.

LEGAL NOTE

Any time the scale weighing mode is changed, the scale must be re-calibrated before commercial use.

Set-Up & Installation

These setup and installation procedures assume that you have already prepared your checkstand to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. If you have not already made the counter cutout and routed power and interface cables, do so now as described in the previous instructions. If your check- stand has been prepared, proceed as follows:

Set-up

1.Place the unit on the checkstand next to the counter cutout.

2.Route the cables up through the cutout and connect the scanner and scale interface cable(s), and Remote Scale Display cable (optional) to the scanner. Some POS terminals require two inter- face cables; one for the scanner interface and one for the scale interface. Refer to Figure 2-16for cable connection locations.

If you have a scanner with no scale, there will be only one interface cable to the POS terminal.

3.Connect the power cord to the scanner and route the other end down through the checkstand to the AC power outlet. DO NOT plug the power cord in at this time.

4.OPTIONAL — Route your EAS antenna cable down through the checkstand cutout. (Reference your EAS controller’s set-up instructions for proper EAS antenna installation.)
