5.8 Operations Without Recalling an Item Code
The following sections describe ways to carry out operations without having to recall the Item codes.
5.8.1 A Single Counting Operation - Without Recalling an Item Code
At times you may want to perform a weighing and counting operation without recalling an Item Code from
memory. This can be done from the keyboard in the Weighing Mode.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Place the product to be weighed and counted on the platter. The total weight and pieces count will be
displayed. If a printer is connected to the DC-788, you can print a label with the data by pressing the *
PRINT key.
4. To perform another weighing and counting operation, remove the product from the scale platter and
press the CLEAR key.
5.8.2 Part Accumulation or Subtraction and Negative Counting - Without Recalling an Item Code
The DC-788 has the capability to acquire the total number of parts using the accumulation or reduction function
of the scale (similar to the add/subtract functions of a calculator).
5.8.2.2 Part Accumulation or Subtraction
To find the total accumulated quantity of similar containers filled with parts, use the accumulation procedure
detailed below. This does not affect the inventory quantity for this item in the scale’s memory. To add or subtract
from inventory, see
Section 5.9.3.
1. Enter the unit weight of the pieces (if known) or conduct a sampling process (Section 5.5.1) to determine
the unit weight of the pieces. Press the PCS key.
2. Enter the known tare weight, or place an empty container on the scale to perform tare function
(
Section 5.4). Press the TARE key.
NOTE: If SPC 3, Bit 1 - Negative Counting is set to 0: Allow, a quantity of pieces may be displayed if a tare is entered with no
weight on the scale. (For more information on how to set customer specifications, see
Section 3.1.1.)
3. Place container 1 (full of parts) on the scale.
4. Press the + (Plus) key to store the total in container 1. The Memory annunicator ∑ is now illuminated.
The weight display briefly shows totAL 1 and the quantity display shows the total pieces in the first
container.
Note: If the DC-788 is connected to a printer or PC, the data will be printed or outputted each time the + (plus), - (minus) or *
PRINT keys are pressed. If SPC 32, Bit 3 - Exit From Accumulation Mode After 15 Sec Time Out is set to 0: Allow, the display will
return to the weighing mode automatically after 15 seconds. If it is set to 1: Inhibit, you must press the CLEAR key to return to the
weight display. (For more information on how to set the Weight and Measurement specifications, see
Section 3.1.2.)
