5.7 Setting a Lot Number
When storing item codes in the scale’s memory, you have the option to attach a lot number to that item. (See
Section 6.1.2) That lot number will appear on an item label unless overridden by setting a new lot number during
weighing operations. Lot numbers set during weighing operations can be temporary (not stored with the item
code) or update and override the lot number stored in the item database.
• to print a label with the lot number that was previously entered with the item code,
SPEC 12 - KEEP LOT
NO IN REGISTRATION MODE
can be set to either 0: ALLOW or 1: INHIBIT while SPEC 70 - UPLOAD LOT AND
PART NO
must be set to 0:DISABLE.
• to set a lot number during counting, weighing or packing operations without having to store a new lot
number with each individual item code and without changing lot numbers store with the item codes,
SPEC 12 - KEEP LOT NO IN REGISTRATION MODE must be set to 0: ALLOW. SPEC 70 - UPLOAD LOT AND PART
NO.
must be set to 0: DISABLE. SPEC 69 4 - LOT NUMBER can be enabled to allow you to set and choose
between four different lot numbers during the weighing mode.
• to set a lot number during counting, weighing or packing operations that will be stored with the item
code in the item database, either overwriting the one previously programmed with the item code or
adding one if one does not exist,
SPEC 70 - UPLOAD LOT AND PART NO must be set to 1: ENABLE.
Note: Lot Numbers will only be printed if you have chosen a label format that includes that field (Pre-programmed Formats U2-4
through U6-8, U8-10 and T5-11 through T10-16 include the Lot Number and the Lot Number can be included on any of the Free
Label Formats).
1. At the stand-by screen, call up an item code by entering the code from the numeric and/or alphanumeric
keyboards and pressing the
CODE key. You have two options at this point:
• If you want to print a label with a lot number has previously been entered, place the product on the
platter and press the
* REPRINT key.
• To set a new lot number, press the
LOT NO key and enter a lot number of up to 32 digits from the
numeric keypad. If SPEC 69 - 4 Lot No is enabled, pressing the
LOT NO key will let you select
between as many as four lot numbers. Each time you press the LOT NO key you advance to the next lot
number. Once you see the lot number you want to associate with the item you are weighing, put the
product on the platter and press the
* REPRINT key.
2. The process can be repeated for more item codes, keeping the lot number the same or entering a new lot
number with each item code change.
3. When done, press the
CLEAR key and remove the product from the scale platter.
5.8 Setting a Sequence Number (DC-300 only)
The scale can maintain and print a sequence number for transactions to aid in transaction tracking and auditing.
While the sequence number field does not appear on any of the pre-programmed label formats, both a sequence
number and a sequence number title can be programmed onto any of the free label formats (See Section 7.4.1 on
page 90).
If the sequence number is set to “0”, no sequence number will be incremented or tracked. Otherwise the sequence
number will automatically increment by 1 each time a label is printed.
1. At the stand-by screen, press the
SHIFT DOWN key followed by the K key. The display will show the
current sequence number.
2. To set a new sequence number, enter up to 8 digits from the numeric keypad.
3. To save the new sequence number and exit, press the
* REPRINT key. To exit without saving the new
sequence number, press the
CLEAR key twice.
