3.0 Configuration Settings
This section presents the setup and configuration of the DC-200/300 counting scale to be used specifically by
distributors and service technicians. Configuring these specifications allow you to tailor the DC-200/300 to your
specific applications.
Setting the specifications allows you to modify the functionality of the DC-200/300. Use the tables in this section
to view the options you can modify. For example, if you want the function allowing you to print labels by
pressing the
+/- keys as well as pressing the * REPRINT key to work on the DC-200/300, refer to the DC-200/300
specification table and locate
SPEC 34 - PRINT WHEN PRESS +/- KEY. The default for SPEC 34 is 0, which means
that the
PRINT WHEN PRESS +/- KEY function is turned off or disabled. To turn it on or enable it, change the SPEC
setting to
1.
3.1 Configuring Specification 141 and 142 Settings from the Scale Keyboard
The following tables list the DC-200/300 specifications and their corresponding default values. The default
values are automatically set when the scale’s memory is set by the dealer for the country of operation.
SPEC 00 through SPEC 60 (Table 3-1) are customer specifications and use the 141 access code, while SPEC 600
through SPEC 646 (Table 3-2) are weight and measurement specifications, and use the 142 access code. In
programming specifications, the
* REPRINT and – (minus) keys allow you to move to the next or previous
specification without saving changes to the SPEC code you were just in.
3.1.1 Customer Specification (141 Settings)
1. To configure customer specifications, press and hold the REZERO key and enter 141 using the numeric
keypad. The first SPEC code, SPEC 0 is displayed, with
SP0: AUTO POWER SAVING appearing in the first
line of the weight display and its current setting (ex. 00>0: Disable) appearing in the second line.
If this is the SPEC that you want to modify, press
>> or << keys to scroll through the possible settings.
When the setting you want to store is displayed, press the + (plus) key to enter the change into temporary
memory and move to the next SPEC code.
2. If you want to modify a SPEC other than SPEC 00 and you know the number of that SPEC code, enter
the number of the SPEC code on the numeric keypad and press the
* REPRINT key. Otherwise, you can
use the + (plus) and – (minus) keys to scroll through the specifications until you find the one you want.
Then make your changes per the instructions in Step 1.
3. To change another SPEC code before exiting, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
4. To save all the changed SPEC settings currently in temporary memory and exit to the Operation Mode,
press the
CODE key. You will hear a long beep to confirm that the scale is saving the change. The saving
of the configuration file takes about 10 seconds, after which the scale will return to the Stand-By mode.
To exit to the Operation Mode without saving the changes, press the
TARE key.
If you power off the scale while the saving process in going on, you can clear the entire memory of the
scale! Wait until the scale has returned to the Stand-by screen before performing any other functions.
5. Power down scale using the power switch on the back of the bottom of the scale, not the ON/OFF key on
the keyboard.
6. Power scale on to re-initialize the new specification settings.
