Scale - 013001

The function is used to change the Prepackaging Date for an item. The current date is usually used as the Prepackaging Date. For a number of reasons, however, it may be the case that the Prepackaging Date has to be changed to a date in the past.

After an item was entered in the Prepackaging Mode - 01300100009, the function can be called. The real Prepackaging Date is set. After a verification process to ensure that the item's best before date has not expired, the new Prepackaging Date is used. It is displayed in the Registration Mask of the Prepackaging Mode and is also visible on the label print. It is valid until a different item is entered or until the Prepackaging Date is changed again.

The primary department is defined in the configuration of the scale. It is possible to change it using this service function. The department from the configuration is used until it is changed by the operator.

The scale department defines a search filter for all actions taken to find items. For example, an alpha search will only return items out of the current department. Additionally the printed label and the displayed tableaus can depend on the scale department.

The Prepackaging Mode is used to prepack items. The items can be entered separately, piece by piece. In this case, the operator sets the date and the tare, if required, and selects an item and puts it on the scale. After the weight is detected, the Label Printing Process is triggered by the corresponding button. It is also possible to enter the same item several times. This can be done with the automatic mode (see Start Automatic Mode - 01300100010).

A scale receipt can be reopened if the customer forgot something. After reopening the transaction, it is possible to add/remove line items.

The function is used to search for an item by entering the PLU number or the description. The search term is entered and the search starts directly. The search results are displayed in a list. The item is searched for the current department. The selected item is applied to the receipt. The department can also be changed to perform the search in a different department.

This mode is used to void line items on a service scale.

After pressing the void button, it is checked whether an operator is active on the scale. If no operator is active, then an operator must be selected. Afterwards, the transaction of the current or selected operator is displayed in line item voiding mode. The operator can select one line item for voiding. After voiding a line item, you will be returned to the registration mask and this will display the current transaction including the voided line item.

This process is used to select an operator on a service scale.

The scale panel displays the weight to the operator and customer on non-price-calculating scales.

The Automatic Mode is a mode of the Prepackaging Scale. It is used if the same item has to be weighed several times. Before the Automatic Mode is started, the item is entered. It is possible to set a prepackaging date or tare, if required. The Automatic Mode can then be started. As soon as the weight from the item on the scale is detected, the label is printed automatically. The next weight (of the same item) can be put on the scale. The process can be repeated several times. The Automatic Mode can be exited using the cancel button in the waiting dialog.

This service function offers the possibility of calling the learn mode of the scale printer. This is needed, for example, if a new label is inserted into the printer. In this case, the printer has to detect and learn the new sizes of the labels, e.g. the distance from label to label.

The function can be called directly if a new paper type is inserted into the printer. And it is called automatically, for example, if the Prepackaging Mode of the Service Scale is started or exited.
