Weight and Deli Scales
Cash Register Express supports specific scales that are directly connected to the computer (where
items are weighed at the register) and can also work with deli scales, where the items are weighed at
the deli or other food preparation station, and a bar code label is printed and affixed to the item.
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
port it is connected to from the Weight
Scale – Primary list. Be sure to 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.
NOTE: Checking the Auto-Weigh property of an item (found in Inventory Maintenance) will
automatically query the scale for a weight whenever you sell it.
Cash Register Express can scan and properly interpret
the standard UPC random weight bar codes printed by
many deli scales. This scale does not interface with the
computer. For assistance in setting up your random
weight bar code printing scale, consult the manual that
comes with the scale or contact the manufacturer.
