SMART CARTRIDGE With this option you can program the scale operating mode (label or paper) only placing the selector button of

the smart cartridge in the right place (see figure), in this way you don’t need to enter programming mode to change the operating mode. This way you don’t program the printing format, it loads the last printing format for each operating mode.

By default the smart cartridge is enabled but you can disable by pressing the keys X, 1, 2 during the countdown.

If you want to enable it again just press X, 1, 2 during the countdown and the function will be enabled again. To program any of the operating modes check the transfer that is in the rear side of the cartridge. It shows the

position that should be the selector button for each operating mode.

Suppose that you configure your scale with the following operating configuration (via PC or from your scale):

Continuous label in standard mode with paper format 2

Label with gap in customized format Label without gap in format 4 Paper in detailed receipt mode with paper format 1

If you are working in paper mode with the cartridge you change the operating mode to label with gap then it is loaded automatically the customized printing format and if is changed to continuous label mode the printing is configured to brief detailed mode with paper format 2.

It is possible at any moment to enter to the programming mode and change the printing format, this way it is the

format that is working the scale for the current operating mode. If the smart cartridge is enabled and the mode is changed by programming to one different form the cartridge, then will it automatically be changed to that of the cartdrige. Only the printing format will be changed.

use key. Now you can introduce the new text using alphanumeric keypad, if you want to use capitals for the text,

press key before to type the text. If you want to write the symbol on the upper part of keys press key before

the desired key. If you want to put a space press key, if you want to erase the last character press key,

if you want to go to text’s beginning press key, if you want to move text’s end press key, if you want to

advance or gor back one position in the text use keys. Press key to save the changes. IMPORTANT: The quantity of characters you can enter is conditioned by the font size you have chosen previously, if you need to put more characters, change the font size for a thinner one. # ROWS

Some printing fields such the HEADLINE or the INGREDIENTS, have this sub-field, in the headline case, you can pu it has up to 10 lines. Once you introduce the number of lines, the scale will ask for the font size of each row. In the INGREDIENTS case, all the lines are going to have the same font size, and you can introduce up to 5 rows, but the quantity of characters is limited to 249 including the carriage return between each row.

DIMENSIONS

This option is only for label printings, all the dimensions that you enter, must be in exact millimeters without decimals. When you enter to this option you will see WIDTH IN MM., LENGTH IN MM. and LABEL SEPARATION.

Use keys, select any option press key. Almost all the labels have dimension in order of mm, but the distance between the labels is not always in mm,

in this case you need round up the number at the shortest distance.

VALIDATE

There are some functions of the scale that can be activate or deactivate like keys, and indirectly

key by NON-PLUS validation.

When you press key, the amount weight and total shown on the display will be substracted from the sales

in memory. When you press key, before to print a brief, you are able to apply a discount to this brief you can do a discount by percentage or a specific amount to the sale.

The key allow you to makee a sell for unweighting non-PLU, if you deactivate NON-PLUs option, this key doesnt have function, also you cant sell an unweight product if its not recalled from the memory. DISCOUNTS. ACTIVE W/PASSWORD Needs a password to authorize the discounts. FREE Doesnot need a password to authorize the discounts. DESACTIVE Avoid discounts. RETURNS. ACTIVE W/PASSWORD Needs a password to authorize the returns. FREE Doesnot needs a password to authorize the returns. DESACTIVE Avoid returns.

CHANGING PASSWORD The scale has two passwords; SUPERVISOR (4 digits) and PROGRAMMING. (6 digits), depending on the scale’s configuration some functions made available or not, also some times the scale asks for an authorization before

taking an action. The password required for keys is the supervisor password. To get into programming mode and made a due balance report the scale asks for the programming password. To changes the password you need to type the programming password before to let you change the password. The password by default is zeros.

CONTRAST Its posible, in some case the printing to be dark or bright, you can modify the contrast level for the label or paper. The contrast can be from 1 to 5 by default the contrast is 3. You can define a contrast for paper and another for label.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The Communication with a LSQ series scale can be throught a RS232 serial connection or Ethernet LAN

connection (if there is at the scale). Communication protocol is the same for both cases. This protocol will be explained. FRAME

Communication for writing or reading is formed by frames. Each frame is divided in command, data and several controls characters.

All the bytes transmitted into the frame are printable characters, with the following execeptions.

0x09 – TAB 0x0A – LF 0x0C – FF 0x0D – CR 0x1B – ESC

NOTE: All the numeric data fields must be transmitted in ASCII format. COMMAND The command has alway 12 characters. The first 6 characters are the memory address of the record that we make reference to. All the addresses begin at 0. The character number seven corresponds to the action that you want to take. The character number eight represents the group of data to write or read. The last four characters are used for special functions. Character Seven. G – Write L – Read E – Special functions Character Eight. P – PLUs p – Prices V – Agents T – Taras I – Ingredients F – Formats f – Date and Hour t – texts C – configuration In many cases memory address can be ignored for it’s not matther for the command.

27

DATA When your send or receive frames from the scale, the frame are divided in many data fields separeted only by a TAB( ASCII 0x09). That is to reduce the number of command to communicate with the scale. END As frame length is variable, it’s necessary to finish the frame with a carrier return(ASCII 0x0D). That is to know there is not more data in the frame. SYNCHRONIZATION

WRITTING. When data are sending to the scale, the PC always begins the connection. It sends a command and data with the required action and the scale recieves the frame and processes it.

READING. When data are reading from the scale, the PC always begin the connection. It send a command with the required petition. The scale recieves the frame and processes the command. The scale responds with the same command and required data. REPORTS. When you need to obtain a report from the scale, the PC always begins the connection. It sends a command with the required report. The scale recieve the frame and process the command. The scale responds with the same command and required data. One report can need many frames until to end, the scale sent to the computer all the frames necessary to end the report. The final frame can be identified by the word “END” in the final command.
