Scale Operations 35
5.7.2 Subtracting Parts From Inventory
1. Key in the item ID Code and press the CODE key.
2. If the tare weight and unit weight have already been associated with the ID Code in memory, you can go
to step 4. Otherwise, key in the known tare weight or scan the tare weight from a barcode or put the
empty bin on the scale and press the
TAR E key.
3. If the unit weight has already been associated with the ID Code in memory, you can go to step 4.
Otherwise, place a sample of 10 pieces in the bin on the scale. For accuracy it is best to put the pieces in
the same bin used to find the tare weight in step 2. Press the PIECES key.
4. Either pour into the bin the remaining pieces to be added to inventory or, if the tare weight and unit
weight of the item were already programmed into the scale, put the full container on the scale. The
DC-100 will display the quantity, unit weight and total weight of the pieces in the container.
5. Press the STATUS key once. The OUT annunciator will be illuminated on the display.
6. Press the * REPRINT key to subtract the count from inventory.
Note: If SPEC 31 - PC/PRN OUTPUT is set to “2: By +/-/PRINT KEY”, a label will print when you hit the * REPRINT key (if you
have an external printer connected), showing the count for this particular container in the default label format or the label format
preprogrammed to be associated with this particular item.
5.7.3 Sample, Count and Print a Label
Note: For this function to be used on the DC-100, an external printer must be connected to the scale.
1. Press the REZERO key to zero the weight display.
2. Place the empty bin on the scale and press the TARE key.
3. Place a 10 piece sample of the item in the bin and press the PIECES key. (For maximum accuracy, count
the 10 piece sample into your hand and then add the entire sample to the bin at one time, instead of
adding them one or two at a time.) If 10 pieces are not enough for the scale to get an accurate sample, the
scale will prompt you to add a specific additional number of pieces. Add these pieces and press the
PIECES key again.
4. Add the remaining pieces to be counted into the bin.
5. Press the * REPRINT key. The scale will print a label in the default label format.
5.7.4 Scan ID Bar Code, Count and Print a Label
Note: For this function to be used on the DC-100, an external printer must be connected to the scale.
1. Enter the ID Code by scanning the ID Bar Code.
2. Press REZERO to zero the weight display.
3. Place the container of the product on the scale platter.
4. Press the * REPRINT key. The scale will print a label in the default label format.
