3. Press <msr>. The weight, length, width, height, and dim-weight
of the package are displayed.
4. Remove the package from the platform. Wait for the
zero indi-
cator to light before placing the next package on the platform.
If the
zero indicator does not light, it means that the scale needs to
be zeroed. To zero the scale, make sure that the platform is free of
all objects, then press
<zero>.
Measuring Odd-Shaped Packages
The CubiScan 110 is designed to measure dimensions on
“cube-like” packages (packages that are square or rectangular) with
a distinct width, length, and height. Packages that have odd shapes
or irregular surfaces may be measured using the CubiScan 110;
however, the dimensions will be determined by the closest straight
edge or corner and may not accurately represent the actual width,
height, and length of the package.
When measuring objects with irregular or porous surfaces that do
not reliably reflect sound, it may be necessary to place a rigid sheet
of plastic or metal against the irregular side or sides so the sensors
can record the dimensions. For example, when measuring books, a
rigid sheet should be placed against the paper edge of the books.
NOTE
If rigid sheets are used when measuring objects, tare values should
be entered to compensate for the thickness and weight of the sheet.
Set tare values using the Options function on the Tools menu of Qbit
(refer to the Qbit User Guide).
