42 DC-200/300 Operation Manual
5.9 Changing the Factory Name (DC-300 only)
The DC-300 can store up to 32 factory names in memory so that they can be printed on labels that include the
Factory Name field. (For more information on how to program the Factory Name files, see Section 7.2.1 on
page 74). The Factory Name that will be printed can be changed from the Weighing mode without going into the
programming mode by doing the following:
1. Press the
SHIFT DOWN key, followed by the LOT NO key. The display will read:
2. From the numeric keypad, enter the number of the Factory Name you want to be active for label printing,
then press the
* REPRINT key.
If the number you have entered corresponds to a Factory Name previously programmed in memory, the
display will return to the Weighing mode. This Factory Name will now be printed on any label with the
Factory Name field on it, until you change it by repeating the procedure above.
If the number you have entered does not correspond to a Factory Name previously programmed in
memory, you will see the following error message:
Then the display will return to the Enter Factory # screen. At this point you can either enter the number
of a valid Factory Name or press the
CLEAR key to exit the Factory Name Change function and return to
the Weighing mode.
For more information on how to print a report of already programmed factory names, see Section 7.2.1.
5.10 Operations Without Recalling an ID Code
The following sections describe ways to run operations without having to recall the ID codes.
5.10.1 Using Item Codes and Part Names Without Storing Them to Memory
At times you may want to have an Item Code and Part Name print out on a label without storing them to the
scale’s item database memory. This can be done from the keyboard without leaving the weighing mode.
Note: To enable the set new item without saving function, SPEC 04 SET NEW ITEM DURING REGISTRATION MODE must be
set to “1:ALLOW (NOT SAVE)”.
1. Enter the item code and press the CODE key. The display will briefly show the message “SET NEW ITEM
(NOT SAVE)” before returning to the standby screen.
2. Place a 10 piece sample on the scale and press the
PIECES key or enter the unit weight from the numeric
keypad and press the
UNIT WEIGHT key. The display will flash briefly, then return to normal.
3. To set a tare value, enter the tare from the numeric keypad and press the
TARE key or place the container
to be tared on the platter and press the
TARE key.
4. To add the Part Name, press the
SHIFT DOWN key, followed by the B key. Enter the Part Name from the
keyboard, then press the SHIFT DOWN key followed by the B key again to accept it.
5. Place the product to be weighed and counted on the platter and press the
* REPRINT key to print a label
with an Item Code and Part Name on it. The label will print in the default label format since no label
format is associated with an Item Code not in memory. For more information on how to set the default
label format, see Section 5.6.
6. You can clear the Item Code and Part Name that were temporarily stored by removing the product from
the scale platter and pressing the
CLEAR key.
