Scale Printer System

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction The SP600/SP600P Scale Printer System prints

merchandising labels used to identify price and to code a

variety of supermarket items. EAN or UPC barcode,

description, weight, unit price, total price, packed-on date,

sell by date, and use by date are some of the fields available

on labels. Expanded Text and Special Message fields enable

the SP600 to provide cooking instructions, ingredients

and/or special, promotional information.

The elevated display enables both customer and operator to

view numeric transaction data: Weight, Unit Price and Total

Price for the item.

The SP600P can be used as a label printer (if used without a

weigher) or a prepack scale (if connected with a model SPS

or CSWS scale).

When the system is disconnected, memory is maintained by

batteries for a minimum of 100 hours. The batteries

automatically charge when the system is connected to AC

power, whether the scale is in Reset or Operate mode.

SP600 Scale System

1-3 Introduction

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-kilogram

(lb) 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 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) increment

will normally vary up or down by 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) Greater

variation than 0.005 kg (0.01 lb.) indicates a need for

adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever

necessary, contact your authorized Hobart Service

representative.

SP600 Scale System

General Information 2 - 2

General Information The SP600 Scale Printer System is perfect for your over-the-

counter weighing applications or for use in backroom meat

applications with the Hobart TWS, HWS or NSW wrapping

machines. This weighing system can handle a broad variety

of products for meat, deli, bakery, produce, fish and cheese

departments.

The scale’s memory is expandable from 0.5 MB to 2.5 MB,

enabling the scale to store information on thousands of

products.

The SP600 Scale System should be installed or moved only

by qualified Hobart-trained service technicians. It can

operate in a temperature range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to

40˚C).

RS-232 PORT VIEW ANGLE CONTROL

RESET/OPERATE

SWITCH

Electrical Connections The power cord receptacle is located under the SP600 base,

toward the back. The power cord is connected to 120/220 V.,

60/50 Hz., single phase electrical power. Once the SP600 is

plugged in, the system is powered up.

Look At This

Connecting to a power source with a different voltage or

frequency than the scale is configured for may cause

SEVERE damage to the scale.

Communication

Connections

In addition to the power cord, there is an RS-232 port at the

front of the scale. This port can be used with the Hobart

Disk Player/Recorder or the Hobart External Disk Drive.
