      Donna CharlesSep 12, 2025
      If your OHAUS Printer displays 'Over Load', it could mean the balance is in overload range, so check the sample weight. Alternatively, the zeroing might be out of the zero range, so change the zero range of the balance. You can also try changing the setting of the printer from zero to tare.
