Configuring the POS Scale

Configuring the Scale

Before using the scale with the POS Application, we need to configure the scale.

This option is only available if the application type is changed to Decimal on the web portal.

To get into the "Function Mode" press and hold the "SAMPLE" button for about 5 seconds.  Once the screen displays "func" proceed with the following:

    - Press the "PRINT" button to initiate the menu options, then press "SAMPLE" to navigate through the menu options.  Press the "RE-ZERO" button to change the values of the options.

    prt  =  2
    bps  =  0
    btpr =  0

    - Press the "PRINT" button again to display "End" and press the "SAMPLE" button to save changes.  Press "MODE" to reset the scale with the new changes

Configuring Windows

Click "Start" and hit "Run" type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and hit enter.  The device manager should have poped up - open up the "Ports" Tree and right click on the "USB to Serial Comm Port" (note which COM Port # is assigned) and select "Propterties."

    - Make the following changes:

    Bits per second = 2400
    Data bis        = 7
    Pairty          = Even
    Stop bits       = 1
    Flow control    = None

    - Click "OK" to save changes, and close out of all the windows.

Configuring the POS Application

Login to the POS Application and navigate to Configuration > Hardware Settings.  Under scale settings select the associated with the Com Port we just configured.

Save the changes and go into Transactions, place an item on the scale and wait for a small pop up box to start the process.
