X Mode
Pressing the MODE key once will take you to the X mode. The X mode is used to
perform Sales Reports using information obtained during normal daily operations of the
scale. Several types of reports are available in the X mode. There are both daily and
monthly reports available. Some report categories available are By PLU, By Department
and By Group. Some other special functions available are Exporting Sales Data and
printing a PLU List. For a detailed explanation of these functions please refer to the
appropriate section(s) of this manual.
S Mode
Pressing the MODE key twice will take you to the S mode. The S mode is where most of
the programmed information used during daily operations is directly entered at the
scale. (The same information may also be entered using the XDB Manager Software

calibration record and backing up and restoring programmed information.
P Mode
If the P mode has been enabled in the SPEC program, pressing the MODE key four times
will take you to the P mode. The P mode is used to provide some level of security when
accessing or programming information in the scale. It is not normally visible in the Main
Menu list and must be enabled using the SPEC configuration mode. When enabled and
configured correctly a password will be required to access the X, S and Z modes in the
scale.

8.1 Setting the ZERO Point
21
8. BASIC OPERATIONS
In this section, basic R mode operations such as recalling a commodity, entering a tare weight,
weighing and issuing labels, etc. are explained.
8.1 Setting the ZERO point
The ZERO key may be used to make corrections for minor deviations in the zero reference
point. The scale may drift from zero due to environmental conditions, debris on the platter or
leaving objects on the platter for long periods of time. To correct this, remove all objects and
debris from the platter. When the ST tri-mark ( ) is lit, press the ZERO key.
Ex.)
The scale Weight display should now show zero. If the scale will not return to Zero, contact
your authorized service representative.
8.2 Recalling a Commodity (PLU)
There are three methods of recalling a commodity or PLU. These methods are used to recall
Weigh, Non-Weigh and By Count mode commodities (PLU’s). The procedure is the same for all
of the PLU types.
8.2.1 Using the PLU key
To recall a PLU from memory input the PLU number using the numeric keys and then
press the PLU key.
Ex.) Recall PLU #12
Action: Enter 12 using the numeric keypad, then press the PLU key.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.2.2 Using the SPEED Keys
22
8.2.2 Using the SPEED Keys
To recall a PLU using the pre-programmed Speed Keys, simply press the Speed Key with
the desired PLU number assigned to it. Please note that when using multiple Speed Key
levels the operation is affected by the setting of SPEC 073 (Combination Recall)
Ex.) Recall PLU #12 assigned to Speed Key 4 on level 1. (SPEC 073 = 0 or 1)
Ex.) Recall PLU #18 assigned to Speed Key 4 on level 2. (SPEC 073 = 0)
Action: Press Speed Key #4 twice (within 1 second) to recall the PLU on level 2.
Ex.) Recall PLU #18 assigned to Speed Key 4 on level 2. (SPEC 073 = 1)
Action: Press the level number desired (level 2) using the numeric keypad, then press the
Speed Key desired (#4).
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.2.3 Using Automatic PLU Recall
23
8.2.3 Using Automatic PLU Recall
Recalling a PLU automatically requires that the automatic recall function in the SPEC
program be enabled. (SPEC #071) When the function is enabled, you recall a PLU by
entering the PLU number using the numeric keys. After the last number of the PLU is
entered, there will be a slight delay (about 3 seconds) and then the PLU will be recalled
automatically.
Ex.) Recall PLU #12
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.3.3 Using a Preset Tare Weight
24
8.3 Using Tare Weight
There are three different types of Tare weight, a known Tare weight, an unknown Tare weight
and a Preset Tare weight. The procedures to use and clear all three types are explained below.
Notes:
1. The NET Tri-mark ( ) will be lit whenever there is any Tare weight used.
2. To clear the Tare weight before weighing a PLU, remove the container
from the platter and then touch the Tare key.
3. The Tare weight will automatically be cleared after the transaction is
complete.
4. Touching the Save key while a Tare weight is present will retain the Tare
weight even after the commodity has been removed from the platter.
8.3.1 Registering an Unknown Tare weight
An unknown Tare weight may be entered by placing the container on the platter and
pressing the Tare key. After the Tare key has been pressed the Tare weight will be
displayed in the Tare display window and the NET tri-mark ( ) will be lit.
8.3.2 Registering a Known Tare weight
A known Tare weight may be entered using the numeric keys. Enter the Tare weight
value using the numeric keys and then press the Tare key. After the Tare key has been
depressed, the Tare weight will be displayed in the Tare display window and the Net tri-
mark ( ) will be lit.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.3.3 Using a Preset Tare Weight
25
8.3.3 Using a Preset Tare weight
Using a Preset Tare weight is accomplished by pre-programming the Tare weight for the
PLU during the PLU programming steps (refer to S Mode - S1 PLU File). When the PLU is
recalled, the Preset Tare weight is recalled with the PLU.
Ex.) Recall PLU #18 which has a Preset Tare weight of 0.10 lbs.
8.3.4 Clearing Tare Weights
All types of Tare weight will normally be cleared automatically upon completion of a
transaction. The only time this will not happen is if the Save key has been depressed
before the transaction or the scale is in the Prepack Mode of operation.
Note: The completion of a transaction is defined as the weighing of the commodity, the
issuing of the label and the removal of the commodity from the platter and the label
from the printer.
To manually clear a Tare weight before a transaction, simply remove the container (tare
weight) and press the Tare key.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.4 Sales Mode Operations
26
8.4 Sales Mode Operations
The procedures in the next sections explain the three normal modes of operation in the scale.
They are the Weigh Mode, Non Weigh Mode and the By Count Mode. Each mode has a specific
procedure that should be followed to ensure proper operation of the scale.
8.4.1 Weigh Mode PLU
The Weigh Mode is used to weigh an item for sale. An item that is to be weighed may
have a Tare Weight associated with it. (refer to Section 8.3 Using Tare Weight)
Ex.) Recall the PLU for Ground Beef (PLU #12) which is sold by weight at $2.99 per
pound. The PLU has a Preset Tare Weight of -0.05lbs.
Note: To use the AUTO Print Mode it must be enabled prior to recalling the PLU. To enable
the AUTO Print Mode simply press the AUTO key on the Operations keyboard. When
the AUTO Print Mode is enabled the AUTO tri-mark will be lit.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.4.2 Non Weigh Mode Operations
27
8.4.2 Non Weigh Mode PLU
The Non Weigh Mode is used to issue a label for an item that isn’t sold by weight.
Usually Non Weigh Mode items are sold by pieces with a certain value placed on each
piece. In the example below the Non Weigh item is Apples.
Ex.) Recall PLU#15 for Apples which is sold by the piece at a price of $0.29 each.
Note: There is no difference between the AUTO Print Mode and the Manual Print Mode in
the Non Weigh Mode operation. In the example there are two methods, one shows the
procedure used to sell a single item and the second shows the procedure to sell
multiple items at the same time to a customer.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.4.3 By Count Mode Operations
28
8.4.3 By Count Mode PLU
A By Count Mode PLU is an item that is similar to a Non Weigh Mode item because it is
also sold by pieces and not weight. The difference between the two modes is that the By
Count Item is usually sold or packaged in multiple pieces for a price. The By Count Mode
operation allows you to sell the whole packaged item or split the item and sell it based
on a per piece value.
Ex.) A customer is purchasing bananas that are priced at 3 for $1.00 and they are
purchasing 3 bananas. In the second part of the example the customer is purchasing
the same bananas priced at 3 for $1.00 but they only want to purchase 2 bananas
instead of 3. The By Count Mode allows you to split the item by simply entering the
quantity purchased by the customer.
Note: There is no difference between the AUTO Print Mode and the Manual Print Mode in
the By Count Mode operation.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.5 Using the Override Key
29
8.5 Using the Override Key
The Override key is usually used to temporarily make changes to the Unit Price, Tare weight or
Quantity information in a recalled PLU. When using the Override key the R1, R2 and R3 tri-
marks ( ) will be lit to signify which input area is being changed. Refer to the chart below.
R1 R2 R3
Weigh Mode (without Tare Override) Not Used Not Used Unit Price
Weigh Mode (with Tare Override) Tare Weight Not Used Unit Price
Non Weigh Mode Quantity Not Used Unit Price
By Count Mode Purchase Quantity Priced at Quantity Unit Price
Note: A password may be required to use the Override Key.
8.5.1 Weigh Mode Override
Using the Override key on a normal Weigh mode type PLU allows you to temporarily
change the Unit Price and Preset Tare weight for that PLU.
Ex.) Override just the Unit Price for PLU #12 Ground Beef which has a Preset Tare weight
of -0.05 lbs and a Unit Price of $2.99 /lb with a new Unit Price of $2.59 /lb.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.5.1 Weigh Mode Override
30
Ex.) Override the Preset Tare weight and Unit Price for PLU #12 Ground Beef which has a
Preset Tare weight of -0.05 lbs and a Unit Price of $2.99 /lb with a new Tare weight
of -0.10 lbs and a new Unit Price of $2.59 /lb.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.5.2 Non Weigh Mode Override
31
8.5.2 Non Weigh Mode Override
In the Non Weigh mode the Override key can be used to change the Quantity Purchased
and the Unit Price of the recalled PLU.
Ex.) Override the Quantity Purchased and the Unit Price for PLU #15 Apple, which is
normally priced at 1 for 29 cents with a new Quantity of 2 and a new Unit Price of
20 cents.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.5.3 By Count Mode Override
32
8.5.3 By Count Mode Override
In the By Count mode the Override key allows you to change the Quantity Purchased,
the Priced at Quantity and the Unit Price of the recalled PLU.
Ex.) Override only the Priced at Quantity and the Unit Price of PLU #25 Bananas, which
are normally priced at 3 for $1.00 with a new Priced at Quantity of 6 and a new Unit
Price of $1.50.
8. Basic Operations ELP-301016
8.6 Miscellaneous PLU Operations
33
8.6 Miscellaneous PLU Operations
There are three Miscellaneous (MISC) PLU keys available to use when a PLU has not been
programmed for a particular item in the scale. By using one of the three individual MISC keys,
items may be sold as a Weighed, Non Weighed or By Count type PLU.
Note: The MISC keys may be programmed to require a password.
8.6.1 MISC Weigh Mode (without Tare Weight)

The PLU File mode is used to program commodity or PLU information directly into the scale.
There are 3 different types of PLU’s available, Weigh Mode, Non Weigh Mode and By Count
Mode. Each of the different types contains information that is similar such as name, price,
expiration dates and ingredients. Each PLU type also contains some information that is unique
based on the PLU type selected. The programming of each PLU type is explained separately in
this section.
Note: Before entering any PLU information it is recommended to complete the programming
of the S Mode – S0 PLU Fields Visible. This will ensure that all of the necessary PLU
Fields will be available during the process of programming different types of PLU
information.
9.2.1 Programming a Weigh Mode PLU (S1 Mode)
