Quick-Start Guide - Supervisor

Welcome! This Quick-Start Guide is designed to get you up and running and to

use as a handy reference. Refer to the companion Operator and

Supervisor Manuals on CD for complete details.

The Quantum Scale Printer System is perfect for your over-the-counter

weighing applications. This state-of-the-art weighing system can

handle a broad variety of products for deli, bakery, produce, fish and

cheese departments. It can also function in a Prepack Scale mode

when necessary.

The easy-to-use control panel allows for productive operation. All

necessary operator data appears on the screen, and Function Keys (F1–

F8) provide easy access to PLU information.

FCC Note This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference; in which case, the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Verify Correctness

of Weight & Price

Verification of information on labels should be made routinely. Check

the multiplication of price-per-pound times weight, and check the

indicated weight against printed weight. Weigh the same package

several times to verify consistency. Keep in mind that some packages

which weigh near the middle of the 0.01-lb increment will normally

vary up or down by 0.01-lb. Greater variation than 0.01-lb indicates a

need for adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever

necessary, contact your authorized Hobart service representative.
