Scale Operations 45
5.11 Using Item Codes in Normal or Operation Mode
The following paragraphs describe the procedure to recall item codes, recompute item code unit weights, quick
add new item codes, override an existing tare associated with an item code, inventory operations related to the
item code quantity, and delete an item code. All storage operations are done while the scale is in the operation
mode.
5.11.1 Recalling Item Codes using Item Code Number
The following procedure allows you to view item codes stored in memory but will not change any of the
information (Unit Weight, Tare Weight, Label Format, Part Name, Part Number, Lot Number, Location,
Inventory Quantity, Threshold, Setpoints, and Address Number) stored with these codes.
Note: This section assumes that SPEC 04 - SET NEW ITEM DURING REGISTRATION MODE is set to “1: NO”. If SPEC 04 is set
to “0: YES”, you will be in the Quick Add mode.
Note: SPEC 67 - IMS determines whether or not the scale automatically tries to query the PC-based DIGI Inventory
Management Software (IMS) via the DC-200/300’s RS232 port. The default setting for this SPEC is 0: DISABLE. When SPEC 67
is set to 0: ENABLE, when an Item Code is entered and the CODE key is pressed, the scale will send that Item Code to the IMS
software with a query, asking it to return the Unit Weight, Tare Weight, Label Format, Part Name, Part Number, Lot Number,
Location, Inventory Quantity, Threshold, Setpoints and Address Number associated with that Item Code. For more information
on the DIGI IMS software, contact your DIGI dealer.
1. Enter item code number using numeric or alphabetic keypad.
2. Press the
CODE key.
If an item code not stored in memory is entered, the scale will beep and briefly display the error message
ITEM
CODE DOES NOT EXIST
before returning to the stand-by screen. At this point you can either enter a different item
code or do a quick add to add an item to memory.
If an item code existing in memory is entered, the stored settings will be displayed after the
CODE key is pressed.
If the fields on the second line are too long to be viewed on the display, the line can be scrolled to the right and
left using the
>> and << keys.
Press the
CLEAR key to clear the item information and return to stand-by status.
5.11.2 View Item Information
The following procedure shows how to call up on the display a specific characteristic stored with an item code
(unit weight, tare weight, label format, part name, part number, lot number, location, inventory quantity,
threshold, setpoints, and address number). The data associated with the item in memory cannot be changed in
this mode.
1. Recall the item from memory by entering the item code and pressing the
CODE key.
2. You can now use the
SHIFT DOWN key in combination with other keys to pull up various fields
associated with the item code, without scrolling through them.
