Scale Calibration (For Models With a Scale) 4 - 7
b. Place 11 kg weights on the scanner as shown in 
Figure 4-4; two 5 kg weights centered on the center of the 
scale, and one 1 kg weight on top between the two 5 kg weights.

2. Press the Scale Zero button with the weights on the platter.
3. Calibration continues with 
Step 6 - Calibration Success or Failure on page 4-7. Calibration was either 
successful or failed at this step.
Step 6 - Calibration Success or Failure
Calibration Success
The calibration process is successful if the Scale Display blinks between CAL P and CAL S, and the 7-segment 
display scrolls between CAL P and CAL S.
There are two ways to finalize the calibration process:
1. After the Scale Display starts blinking between CAL P and CAL S, remove the weights from the scale.
2. Touch the Scale Zero button for the scale to reset. The MP70XX scanner/scale emits three short beeps to 
indicate that the calibration was successful and all parameters are saved.
or
Scan the Scale Reset barcode (or issue an equivalent RSM command to the MP70XX scanner/scale). All 
programming barcodes are available in the MP7000 Scanner Scale Barcode Programmers Guide, p/n 
MN-002912-xx.
3. The scale is ready to measure weight.
NOTE P = pass; S = Save and Reset the Scale.
NOTE Scale Reset can be scanned at anytime in the procedure to exit the calibration process with no impact (as long as 
a Legal Parameter was not changed during calibration).
IMPORTANT If the manual calibration entry method was used, and a successful calibration and verification was 
performed, a new security seal must be installed. Reinsert the calibration cover screw aligning the hole 
in the screw with the hole in the scale U-bar; then insert, or use approved sealing method.
Examples of sealing methods are wire seal/crimp, approved plastic seal, or a tamper evident paper seal 
(where approved) may be used over the screw.
