indicators will no longer be illuminated. (Note: If you try to press the CLEAR key while there is data in
the accumulation register, you will get an error message which says MEM EXIST. You must press the *
PRINT key to clear the accumulation register before the CLEAR key can be used to clear any unit
weight data on the display.)
5.9.4 Tare Override
This function allows you to temporarily override the tare weight called up with an Item Code. The change does
not affect the tare weight programmed in memory with the Item Code.
1. Remove any bin or container from the scale.
2. Recall the Item Code information from memory by entering a numeric Item Code from the numeric
keypad or enter an alphanumeric item code by pressing the [.] (Decimal) key to enter the ASCII mode
and using the ASCII codes listed in
Table 8-2. Then press the CODE/IN-OUT key.
3. The scale will display the information programmed in memory for that Item Code, including the Tare
Weight (if one was programmed).
4. If the new tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press TARE.
The weight display will now show the new tare as a negative number and the Net indicator will
illuminate.
If the new tare weight value is not known, put the container to be tared out on the platter and press the
TARE key. The new tare will be entered, the weight display will show 0.000 lb and the Net indicator
will illuminate.
5. You may now either place the product on the platter for weighing and counting or press the CLEAR key
to return to the stand-by screen. If an external printer is connected to the DC-788, you can print a receipt
or a label for the product by pressing the * PRINT key while the product is still on the platter. To clear
the tare weight just entered when you return to the weighing screen, press the TARE key again.

Deletion of an Item Code with all of its associated information (Part Name, Part Number, Lot Number, Tare
Weight, Unit Weight, Inventory Quantity, and Setpoints) can only be done from the item programming mode.
See
Section 6.8 for procedures on deleting item codes or specific items associated with item codes.
