Basic Functions
Tare
PLU Stored Tare
A tare may be stored with a PLU. In this case, when the PLU is called and no weight is
on the platter, the weight display will show a negative number (the tare weight) and a
cursor will appear over Net.
Proportional Tare
Proportional tares may be used when supported by the master scale and the PLU is
programmed for a proportional tare. This calculation is done automatically by the
scale.
Forced Tare
Some items will require the operator to enter a tare to complete a transaction. This is
called a “forced tare.”
Select the PLU.
The bottom display will show TARE. You can either key in the tare and press ENTER, or
place the tare on the platter and press ENTER. If no tare is desired, press TARE, then
ENTER, then place the item on the platter.
