Chapter 1: Introduction

Touchscreen Operation

Touchscreen Operation

Do not press on the Touchscreen. Use only a light touch for key entry.

Do not use a hard or sharp object to make key entries. This can scratch or damage the Touchscreen and lens.

The Model 8361 Touchscreen is both a display and keyboard. The keyboard part of the

Touchscreen does not use conventional keys, but instead senses where the fingertip is placed on the screen for key input. Only a light touch within the key area (Figure 1-5) is required.

For best results, the fingertip must enter at a right angle (Figure 1-3) to touch the key area, and then must be withdrawn beyond the black lens surrounding the Touchscreen

(Figure 1-5) before making the next key entry. When touching the keys, make sure no other finger drags on the screen. This would prevent the Model 8361 from correctly sensing the fingertip.

Your thumb may not produce good results (Figure 1-4), especially if it is larger than the key. Wearing gloves may also not produce the best results if the gloves are larger than the key area. Again, do not press on the keys. Just a light touch is all that is required.

Figure 1-3: For Best Results, Use Fingertip Figure 1-4: Thumb or Gloves may not work

LED Lens

Withdraw fingertip past the black lens after each key entry.

Fingertip must touch within the key area for best results.

Mechanical Controls

Manual Entries

Keys that are "double boxed" in the PLU Edit screen are active function keys. Active keys are configured through the Unit Setup, PLU Options screen. In certain situations, a PLU may require an item (such as unit price or tare) to be manually entered. (The "forced" values are determined when the PLU is programmed through the Master Editor, see

Master Programming Manual.)

If a manual entry is forced, the appropriate editing method (numeric keyboard, etc.) will appear, otherwise the user must touch the desired "double boxed" item to reach the editing screen.

Operations with the

PLU Edit Screen

By-Weight PLUs

If the PLU called is a weighed item, place the item on the platter to issue a label. By-

Weight items can be priced in three ways:

1.

Priced "Per Pound" - Typically weighed items are priced per the pound. The weight multiplied by the unit price equals the total price of the product to the customer.

2.

Priced "Per Fraction of a Pound" (fractional) - The item may also be priced by the fraction of the pound (where legal and desired). Pricing per 1/4 pound and per 1/2 pound are available.

3.

"Pounds for" price - The PLU may be sold with a pounds for price (rather than price per pound). (2 pounds for $1.00).

Standard Pack PLUs

The Standard Pack PLU allows the operator to use the scale for a labeling operation.

Generally, the labels indicate the net weight of the item and total price.

If the item is a Standard Pack item, enter the weight in ounces (if forced or needs to be changed), set the quantity of labels desired by turning demand mode on and touching the run totals box to enter the amount (default is 1). Touch PRINT to initiate printing of labels. Touch the screen to stop printing early.

By-Count PLUs

The By-Count PLU allows the operator to use the scale for a labeling operation. If the total weight for the items is needed, a weight field can be configured on the label to print the weight of the items in addition to the By-Count information.

If the item is sold By-Count, after adjusting the count (if allowed) and the number of labels, touch PRINT to initiate printing. Touch the screen to stop printing.

Manual PLUs


Operations with the PLU Edit Screen

Manual PLUs may contain description and date information as well as label formats, but generally they do not have pricing information. Most of the items on a Manual PLU can be overridden.

If the item is a Manual PLU, a screen will be displayed to select the Pricing Mode.

Touch the appropriate selection, then enter the requested data into the numeric keyboard. Adjust the parameters as necessary, then touch PRINT to receive a label.

Case Labeling

When calling a case label PLU (PLU’s with groups 50-70 assigned, refer to Master

Programming Manual), enter the weight of the case up to a maximum of 99.99. When selecting a case label PLU, no totals can be printed and the tare key is inactive. No totals are sent to the master for this type of label.

Bottom Labels

Note: The APPLY BOTTOM LABEL key must be configured under

PLU SCREEN OPTIONS under

UNIT SETUP.

Security Tags

Note: the Model 703 must be enabled under SECURITY SETUP under UNIT SETUP.

The

APPLY BOTTOM LABEL key is a toggle key used to command the optional Model

710 to apply bottom labels to all of the packages in a run. When the key is black, the

Model 710 will apply labels to all packages until END RUN is touched. When the key is clear, normal label application occurs.

Security Tags can be applied to packages with the Model 703 Security Tagger, either all the time (if the apply security tag key is black) or conditionally based on security setpoints (if the key is clear).

Cutting Test

The Cutting Test allows the operator to enter the primal weight and cost of a product.

Data collected during a Cutting Test can be used produce a report detailing the saleable yield of a primal cut. The Model 8361 Satellite can store up to 25 Cutting Tests.

The Cutting Test Report can be printed from the

SmartTouch

®

Master, or the data can be uploaded to a host PC. Software programs such as METTLER TOLEDO Intelli-Net™ can collect the cutting test data and print the report. Intelli-Net™ and the

SmartTouch

®

Master will ask for the ID number of the 8361 prior to uploading the data.

The operator of the Model 8361 can enter and exit the test at any time and resume at a later date. Up to 25 Cutting Tests can be stored in the Model 8361. Each cutting test can have up to 20 PLUs.

Before Starting the Test

To include bone and fat in the tests, the following two By-Weight PLU records should be created:

 Bone - Enter unit price as zero.

 Fat - Enter unit price as zero.

The master will recognize the zero price non-saleable items and will split them from the saleable items on the report. A third By-Weight PLU for miscellaneous trimmings can also be created and included in the test.

Running a Cutting Test

To start a cutting test, touch the CUTTING TEST: OFF box (1). Then enter the Cutting Test

Number from 1-25 (2).

Cutting Test

After entering in the Cut Test Number, the keypad will change to prompt for different test criteria. Enter the data by touching the keypad.

Figure 3-5: Enter Product Data

PRODUCT - The Product (Primal) number identifies the product from which the items are cut from. This can be a number from a vendor or one you create.

VENDOR - Vendor Number if used.

OPERATOR - Operator Number if used.

COST – Total Cost of the product

WEIGHT – The net Weight of the product

COST/WEIGHT UNIT – The Price per pound of the product

When you are finished, touch the START TEST key to start the cutting test. Or exit cutting test mode by touching START TEST, then CLEAR on the keyboard.

If a previous test has been run, the data from the previous test will be displayed. You can continue with a test that was not completed, or start a new test using this test number. Touch CLEAR to clear all the previous data and start a new test.

After the START TEST key is touched, you are prompted to enter the PLU number of one of the items cut from the primal product.

While in Cutting Test Mode, the prompt will read TEST PLU instead of ENTER PLU.

While in Test Mode, the key will be inverted

Black and shows the cutting test number.

Touch the CUTTING TEST key to end the test.

You can continue to run items cut from the primal product, or end the test and continue later. The data is stored in the satellite until it is cleared using the CLEAR key.

After all of the items have been entered in the cutting test, the PLU numbers for Bone,

Fat, and Trimmings should be weighed and a label printed for each PLU (The date is entered into the test only when the PRINT key is touched). The Bone and Fat items that run at a zero price will appear below the saleable yield line on the report. The test is complete when all items from the test product are run.

Labeling (COOL)

This section describes Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) operation if it is enabled and set up properly on your scale. The COOL Text is normally programmed into the PLU record and this pre-programmed COOL statement will be called up with the PLU record.

If allowed, you can over-ride this setting, as described in the following sections.

When COOL Text is enabled, the PLU Edit screen will show the programmed default

COOL text in the center of the screen, under the product PLU number and description.
