Tare Weight
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 an optional scale, you can enter the tare number to
automatically subtract the pre-programmed tare weight.
If your scale is reading pounds, enter the tare in pounds; if your scale is reading ounces, enter
the tare in ounces.
The last digit entered for tare must be a zero or five. The ECR reads the scale weight to 2
decimal places (X.xx) so the Tare Weight can only be entered to 2 decimal places (X.xx). The
third digit is entered for rounding purposes. For example, if the tare is 1.15 lbs, enter 1150; if
the tare is .095 lbs, enter 0095.)
If you choose to use tare #5 for manual tare weight entry, do not enter a weight for tare #5. (See
TARE on page 230.)
From the PGM control lock position menu, press 00 for MORE. The PROGRAM
MODE page 2 screen displays.
From the PROGRAM MODE page 2 screen, press 5 for TARE WEIGHT. The
TARE WEIGHT PROG. screen displays with the cursor arrow pointed at the
weight for tare #1:

programmed, or press CLEAR to exit. (Remember, the last digit must be a zero or
