Scanner Scales
In addition to many different scale types, Cash Register
Express also supports Scanner Scales. Connect the port on
the scale to an open serial port on your computer. You will
also need to scan the program bar code.
Two options must be configured inside of the Setup Screen
in order to use your scale.
 First select your scale model from the Primary Scale
Type dropdown.
 The second step is to select the serial COM (serial)
port it is connected to from the Weight Scale –
Primary list.
 Select Update to save your changes.
CRE will ask you to enter an optional tare amount, which is
the weight of the container a weighed item is sold in (ex: a
plastic salad container). The tare value can also be set by
the item inside of Inventory Maintenance.
