Program 1400 - Scale Tare Weight Programming
A tare is the amount of weight representing the container, or package when items are sold by
weight. You can pre-program five tare weights, representing the weight of different
containers. When you place an item and a container on optional scale, you can enter the tare
number to automatically subtract the pre-programmed tare weight.
(Note: If your scale is reading pounds, enter the tare in pounds; if your scale is reading
ounces, enter the tare in ounces. The last tare digit must be zero. Enter the tare without
pressing the decimal key. For example if the tare is 1.15 lbs, enter 1150; if the tare is .09 lbs,
enter 0090.)
If you choose to use tare #5 for manual tare weight entry, do not enter a weight for tare #5.
(See Scale Operations on page 82.)
