1. Using Your Machine

About your Machine The scale is intended to be custom programmed to suit the circumstances that you will be using it in and that means that the display may appear different to that shown in these instructions. If you have questions about custom features not covered here ask your manager or supervisor for further help. Safety Warnings Safe Installation The mains plug must be inserted into a socket outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating. CAUTION: The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating. Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket outlet. Permanently connected equipment must have a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the fixed wiring. USA If the scale is connected to a 240V supply, the receptacle must be protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker. Safe use CAUTION: To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the machine and isolate from the power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance. To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a flat and level surface. Take care when placing large, heavy produce such as water melons on the weigh plate so that they do not roll off the machine. Cleaning the machine CAUTION: Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing soda, should not be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to wipe the inside of the machine. The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth moistened with water containing a small amount of washing up liquid. The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with water containing a small amount of a proprietary detergent. Touch Screen Cleaning When cleaning the touch screen use the Clean Screen function to avoid problems such as transactions accidentally being performed during the clean or having to turn off the scale: 1. Press the Sidebar button to the right of the screen. the sidebar menu should open. 2. Press User Functions. 3. Press Clean Screen. The screen will go white and the touch function will be disabled.

Clean the screen.

5. Shortly after you stop cleaning a countdown will be displayed. To interrupt the countdown resume cleaning. Once the countdown reaches 0 the screen will return to normal. Training Do not attempt to operate or carry out any procedure on a machine or network unless you have received the appropriate training or read the Instruction Books. Ergonomics To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it is important to ensure that the machine is placed on a surface which is ergonomically satisfactory to the user. It is recommended that frequent breaks are taken during prolonged usage. EMC compliance The following warning may be applicable to your machine. WARNING: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Levelling the Scale The scale automatically compensates when it is not level. If the scale is out of level by more than 5° the ValuMax indicator shows a red cross in the display screen status bar. The on‐screen display shows the amount of adjustment needed in the X and Y directions to level it exactly. The scale has four levelling feet to enable manual levelling up to 10mm in any direction. Any angle up to 5° is considered to be level. Any angle above 5° out of level automatically displays the Level Scale screen and you will not be able to trade until it is correct. Using the Keyboard & Display Home Screen The scale starts in the Home Screen which contain most of the keys you will need for daily use.

A tare is the weight of a container, which is not to be added to the weight of the product, and

therefore only apply to weighed goods. To Add a Tare: 1. Place the container on the scale. 2. Press . The weight of the tare is shown above the weight of the product. 3. Fill the container either on or off the scale. 4. Select the PLU (weighed products only) or scan the barcode. 5. Print the receipt or label. 1.

Network Identification ‐ Scale ID and IP address. 3. Wifi Network connection (if present). 4. Wifi Level indicator

Using the Printer

Changing the Label Roll Label rolls have a return spindle to hold the backing paper. 1. Remove the print cassette by pulling the red handle until it clicks and then slide the cassette out from the scale. 2. Remove the old label roll core and backing paper. Check that the new label roll is of the right type and size and insert the roll into the cassette. 3. Peel off several labels so that you have a long section of backing paper. Feed the paper into the slots of the spindle, then back around the spindle so that the paper is firmly trapped. Note: The backing paper can be very slippery, so wind the paper around the spindle several times before slotting the cassette back into place

The following diagram shows the full path of the label:

4. Replace the cassette into the scale and push the red handle to lock the cassette into place. Changing a Receipt Roll Label rolls have a return spindle to hold the backing paper. 1. Remove the print cassette by pulling the red handle until it clicks and then slide the cassette out from the scale. 2. Remove the old receipt roll core. Check that the receipt roll is of the right type and size and insert the roll into the cassette.

Thread the receipt through the cassette:

4. Replace the cassette into the scale and push the red handle to lock the cassette into place. Receipt Only Printers Receipt‐only printers use continuous paper rolls, including linerless adhesive paper, with a cassette system for ’r;drop in’ printer loading. 1. Turn the handle of the cassette anti‐clockwise and pull it out. 2. Remove the empty core and replace it with a full roll. The yellow label on the cassette shows the route for the paper. 3. Replace the cassette and turn the handle clockwise to lock.

2. Serving Customers

Searching for a PLU All products have a unique PLU (Product Look Up) number associated with them. PLUs provide a fast way to recall product data for regular product lines. There are four ways to select the PLU you want: 1. Select the product from the touchscreen. 2. Use the fixed numeric keys to enter the PLU number. 3. Use the PLU search function. 4. Scan the product barcode. If the product you require is not displayed on the screen and you know the PLU number, you can enter the PLU number from the fixed keypad. If departments are set up for the system, you can enter the PLU number from the fixed keypad provided it is in the department currently set on the scale. Searching by PLU Number 1. Press 2. Enter the PLU Number. The product is now ready for use. Searching by Description 1. Press 2. Type the description. The list of products is progressively filtered by your text. For example, typing 'Gold' finds all products that start with: Gold and Golden. Searching by Department When you use the PLU search function to find a PLU, the products are listed by department. By default, the currently selected department for trading is displayed. Use the left and right green arrows at the top of the page change department. Using a Barcode Scanner If the scale has a barcode scanner, you can scan the product barcode to automatically select the PLU. Barcode Scanning In order to do barcode scanning, you must have a barcode scanner installed, and receipts and labels configured to have barcodes printed on them. Use the barcode scanner at the scale to read barcodes: • On products • On labels • On counter receipts: Barcodes are a convenient way to ensure that labels or counter receipts printed in one section of the store are correctly added to the customer's receipt at the checkout. Important: Check that the scale selects the correct PLU. When the scanner successfully reads the barcode, it bleeps. Scanning barcodes means:

You do not have to enter product numbers or select a PLU.

• At a Point of Sale (PoS) scale or checkout, you can scan customer numbers from subtotal counter receipts to add them to the sales total receipt. • With the subtotal displayed, you can scan the barcode on promotional vouchers to automatically deduct the voucher value. About Operating Modes The scale can be set to operate in either Label or Receipt mode depending on the role that the machine is to perform with the store. Both modes have a number of sub settings which determine how the scale will operate. These settings can be adjusted by using the Print Mode Setup key which appears on the Home Screen. Label Mode There are three parts to label mode: Checkout Mode Checkout mode sets whether the scale is used by: Checkout No Float: A single operator who logs‐on at the start of their shift, and transactions are automatically assigned to them. The operator cannot 'float' from one machine to another. Checkout Disable: Multiple operators. Operator Keys This is usually used in conjunction with Checkout Mode ‐ Disabled, and sets whether no operator log‐ on is required, or whether each operator must log‐on, and transactions are assigned to them. Print Mode There are three options for this: Print on Request: The label is printed when the print button is touched by the operator.

Print Immediate: The label is printed as soon as a steady weight is achieved without any intervention

from the operator. Prepack: A label is printed automatically for the selected product each time the weight changes.

Circular New transactions overwrite the oldest transactions and trading can continue. Linear Trading cannot continue when the buffer is full. A warning message is generated when the buffer is almost full.

The following table has only some of the settings necessary for configuring a keyboard. For static

keyboards, there are additional configuration settings. 5 Transaction Storage Sets whether transactions are stored after totalising. Store transactions only if they are being collected by a back office system. Transactions storage can occupy valuable memory space and potentially slow down the scale. 6 Cashing Up Declaration This only applies to Machine Totals clearing reports for period 1. If this is enabled, the operator must enter the cash drawer contents when cashing up before the totals are printed. The totals reports lists the amount entered for each payment type and any discrepancies between that value and the amount in the drawer. 7 Hold Receipt Function Held receipts are stored irrespective of the transaction storage setting. If Hold Receipt is enabled, a Place on Hold button is displayed in the subtotal screen, which allows the operator to place the receipt on hold at a scale that is also used for printing final receipts. 8 Customer Number Control Determines how the customer numbers are generated. The number can be configured to be auto generated by the system or for manual entry by the operator. 9 Self Service Non Weighed Qty Entry Sets whether numeric keyboard opens when a non weighed item is selected. 1 Best Seller Day The day that the best seller period is re‐generated. 2 Best Seller Hour The hour (0‐23) that the best seller period is re‐generated. 3 Best Seller Period Best seller key update period. The period at which the best seller menu/ keyboard is re‐generated from the best seller counts. 4 Number of Best Seller Keys Defines the number of bestseller keys on each keyboard. 5 Best Seller Weighing To give recently traded products the highest significance by ageing older bestsellers, bestseller quantities are reduced every time the bestseller menu is generated. This value is the percentage by which the bestseller quantities are reduced. 100% causes the quantities to be cleared. 0% disables the process. 6 Keyboard System Selects the type of keyboard, either Static or Best Seller. 7 Keyboard Hierarchy Sets the grouping of buttons, either by Department or Group. Note: The scale deletes the best sellers automatically on changing hierarchy. 8 Dynamic Key Sort Order This determines how the keys on dynamic keyboards are sorted. Numeric Alpha (Group first then products) Best Seller Alpha (Groups and products mixed) For keyboards that are generated dynamically, the dynamic keyboard settings take precedence over the static keyboards the settings.. Note: You must restart the scale for these changes to take effect 9 Dynamic Key Rows 10 Dynamic Key Columns

Touch Menus (Keyboards)

Touch menus define how the static keyboards are configured. The Home keyboard configuration determines which top level keyboard each machine displays. Home Keyboard Selection There are two types of Home keyboard: Bestseller Keyboards. Bestseller keyboards consist of one single keyboard of bestselling items. Products are automatically added to and deleted from the bestseller keyboard according to the number of transactions for each product. Factors such as the time period for recalculating bestseller keys, and a weighting for achieving bestseller status controls which products are placed on the bestseller keyboard and how long the product remains there. When a bestseller keyboard is recalculated, products remaining on the keyboard retain their key position. Static Keyboards. Static Keyboards and keyboard systems are wholly or partially defined manually. The term Static Keyboard can be misleading as you can have a Static Keyboard that is populated with one of more dynamic keys, which provides highly dynamic functionality, see Dynamic Keyboards. There are two types of static keyboard: • Operator Keyboard. Operator keyboards only contain either operator buttons, or links to other keyboards. • PLU Keyboard. PLU keyboards can contain any type of button, such as a product, bestseller key, function key or operator key. PLU Keyboards can have both dynamic keys, which makes them into Dynamic Keyboards, and Bestseller keys. In addition to the Home Keyboard, you can edit the functionality of: • Morebar • User Functions • Dedicated Keys To set the type of keyboard: 1. Press > > 2. Select 2: Keyboard, then 6: Keyboard System. 3. Select the required keyboard type. The scale automatically saves the changes. and the menu changes to Network Setup. 4. Press twice. To set the main keyboards: 1. Press > > 11 Max Dynamic Keyboards 12 Return to Home Menu For multiple level keyboards, this determines whether the scale returns to the Home screen or back to the last keyboard shown after making a transaction. 13 Button Style Sets whether the button shows Text, Graphic or both. If the style is set to Graphic Only but there is no graphic assigned, then the button shows the text.

Select 1: Keyboards.

Touch Screen Calibration We recommend that you occasionally calibrate the screen to avoid making mistakes when selecting items. 1. Press > > 2. Press and hold the flashing circle for a few seconds until it moves to the next position, repeat until all nine points are set. Note: While the machine starts up, you also have the option to calibrate the touch screen. Print Formats This sets the SubTotal Receipt Format. Subtotal receipts are customer receipts which can be printed for later recall using the customer number which is printed on the receipt. The data printed on the subtotal receipt is determined by the Subtotal Receipt Format. There are two settings available: Subtotal Summary ‐ Prints a short summary containing just the data essential to re‐open the receipt. Subtotal Itemised ‐ Prints an itemised receipt detailing all the transactions. Date Configuration There is one option for Print Formats: Late Pack Hour: Setting the Date and Time The scale has an internal clock that stores the date and time, which is printed on labels and reports. The scale also calculates sell‐by dates, see Date 1 & 2 Offsets in Create/Edit Products. When you set the date and time on the server scale, any client scales synchronises to it. > > 1 Late Pack Hour If an item is packed late at night, this setting allows an extra day to be added to the use‐by date. For example, if a bakery item is packed at 23:00, the use‐ by date can be set an extra day ahead in order not to waste a day when the item is packed very late.

Barcodes ‐ Configuring Labels and Receipts

Adding Barcodes to Labels There are two configuration settings that determine whether labels are printed with a barcode: If both the Machine Setting is set to None and the Product > Barcode Format is set to None, then the label does not have a barcode. If the Machine Setting is set to a barcode format and the PLU Barcode format is set to None, the label has the machine setting barcode. If the Machine Setting is set to a barcode format and the PLU Barcode format is set to a different barcode format, the label has the PLU setting barcode. That is, the PLU setting overrides the machine setting. Adding Barcodes to Total Receipts The PLU Barcode format is ignored when printing receipts. Barcodes are only printed on receipts if a Receipt barcode format has been selected and Receipt Barcode On is set to yes. Barcode Formats The following table lists all the available barcode formats: 1 Add Label (Single Item) Barcode Format Select the barcode format from the list. 2 Receipt Barcode Format 3 Receipt Barcode On Sets whether a barcode is printed on the receipt. 4 SubTotal Receipt Barcode These two fields configure the print format for the receipt. The default settings is for a fully itemised receipt with no barcode. You can choose to have either a fully itemised or a summary receipt, with or without barcode printing. 5 SubTotal Receipt Barcode Format 6 Talon Barcode A talon is a receipt slip showing the price to pay and an optional barcode. It is typically used when an order is placed and the customer has to return at a later time or date to collect it. A talon matches the customer order to the goods to be collected. In sales mode, when talon printing is enabled, the talon is printed after the receipt, after a two‐second delay, to allow the operator time to tear off the receipt.

Bestseller keyboards consist of one single keyboard of bestselling items. There is only one bestseller

product keyboard on the scale. Products are automatically added to and deleted from the bestseller keyboard according to the number of transactions for each product. Factors such as the time period for recalculating bestseller keys, and a weighting for achieving bestseller status controls which products are placed on the bestseller keyboard and how long the product remains there. When a bestseller keyboard is recalculated, products remaining on the keyboard retain their key position. If you need to change the design of the bestseller keyboards, you must change the scale setting so that it is set to a static keyboards, change the design or layout, then change the scale back to bestseller keyboards. You can add Bestseller keys to the home screen and Dynamic Menus to link to products representing in a particular group or department. The advantage with this approach is that all your keyboards are automatically populated with the bestselling products. You are more likely to find the right product in a shorter amount of time, and no manual maintenance of the keyboard is required. The options for a bestseller keyboard are: how many products to display, the day and time to update the keyboard and how often to update it. 1. Press > > 2.

Note: To set barcodes format for receipts, select > > > 6: Barcodes Machine Settings ‐ Network Configuration These settings adjust the configuration of the network. To access them: 1. Press > > 2. Press 6: Network Configuration Wireless Networks The scale can be connected through a network wireless adapter to either a computer or one or more other scales. The scale supports the following wireless adaptors: • 3COM 3CRUSBN275 • Edimax EW‐7711UAn • Edimax EW‐7612UAn V2 Each machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets. 13 Code Key 14 Machine Usage 1 Machine ID Locked 2 Network ID 3 Peer Group ID 4 IP Address This shows the wired IP address. Note: If a wireless adaptor is present, the wireless IP address is shown in preference on the taskbar. 5 ISC Machine Type 6 Short Machine ID

Before setting up an in‐store network or connecting to, obtain the appropriate IP addresses from the

store IT administrator. Enter the addresses at the machines before connecting to the network. To access the wireless network setup: 1. Press > > > Basic setup Note: Changes to any wireless settings can take several minutes to take effect on the network. When connecting to a computer, it may be useful to refresh the computer network connections. Advanced (Security Settings) The fields in the advanced settings are for the wireless network security settings Default settings Default settings for wireless are shown in the wireless setup menu when nothing has been programmed. The values must be entered before they become active: • Security Mode: WPA2 • ESSID: admin • Password: administrator 1 IP Address The static IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the scale consists of two parts, the network address and the machine address. The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the same network. The machine address must be different from the other machines on the same network. Note: If a wireless adaptor is present, the wireless IP address is shown in preference on the taskbar. 2 Sub‐net Mask The subnet mask identifies which part of the IP Address is the network Address, and which part is the machine address. For example: The subnet mask 255.255.0.0 sets the network address part as the first two sets of numbers of the IP address, which makes the last two sets of numbers the machine address. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then the first three sets of numbers are the network address, and the last set is the machine address. 3 Gateway A gateway enables networks using different protocols to communicate. 4 MAC Address Media Access Control address. Cannot be changed. 5 DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If the network infrastructure has a server that dynamically allocates IP addresses (DHCP server), then set this to enabled, otherwise, set to disabled for a static IP address. If this is set to enabled, you must give the scale a computer name. The computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: If DCHP is enabled, then the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway are set to 0. 1 ESSID The Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID) name of the wireless network. 2 PSK The password to connect to the wireless network (Pre‐shared Key).

Load Configuration File

This loads the wpa_supplicant.conf from the root of a memory stick and stored on the machine. The basic setup security mode is set to 'Loaded Config File' so there is no need for the user to do this separately. The wpa_supplicant.conf file contains the wireless settings in the format recognised by the standard wpa supplicant program. This allows connection to wireless networks using a RADIUS authentication server. Wireless Diagnostics These provide diagnostic information which may be helpful when troubleshooting the wireless network: > > > > Run Diagnostics: This lists the signal quality and other wireless settings. Wireless Network: Scan If a wireless adaptor is present, this Save Diagnostics: File Saves the diagnostics file to a USB memory stick (if present). Wired Networks This is where the scale is connected through a network ethernet cable to either a computer or one or more other scales. Each machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets. Before connecting to, or setting up an in‐store network, obtain the appropriate IP addresses from the store IT administrator. Enter the addresses at the machines before connecting to the network. > > > 1 IP Address The static IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the scale consists of two parts, the network address and the machine address. The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the same network. The machine address must be different from the other machines on the same network. Note: If a wireless adaptor is present, the wireless IP address is shown in preference on the taskbar. 2 Sub‐net Mask The subnet mask identifies which part of the IP Address is the network Address, and which part is the machine address. For example: The subnet mask 255.255.0.0 sets the network address part as the first two sets of numbers of the IP address, which makes the last two sets of numbers the machine address. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then the first three sets of numbers are the network address, and the last set is the machine address. 3 Gateway A gateway enables networks using different protocols to communicate. 4 MAC Address Media Access Control address. Default is locked.

IP Address Example

The network address depends on which sub‐net mask is used, for example for an IP address of 88.1.1.7: Networks ‐ Setup > > Scale Networking > > > Note: These settings are duplicates of the ones found in: > > > 6: Network Configuration. 5 DCHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If the network infrastructure has a server that dynamically allocates IP addresses (DHCP server), then set this to enabled, otherwise, set to disabled for a static IP address. If this is set to enabled, you must give the scale a computer name The computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: If DCHP is enabled, then the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway are set to 0. Sub‐net mask 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 Network address 88.0.0.0 88.1.0.0 88.1.1.0 Machine address 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7 1 Computer Name This applies to scales on networks with DHCP enabled. The computer name identifies the scale even if the IP address changes. If DCHP is enabled, then the computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: Even if DCHP is not enabled, the computer name is used as the identifier for the scale that is connected to a network. For example, when connected to a computer. 2 Port This port number is used by the scales in the network to communicate across the network. 3 Host Port This is the TCP/IP port number used to communicate with a PC running MX software applications. 4 Search Domain Name Displays the human‐readable domain name for the scale that is needed in order to access the web browser. 5‐7 DNS Server 1‐3 This translates the human‐readable domain name into the IP address. It is automatically set up when DHCP is enabled. 8 Proxy Server This is a network server used for web security purposes.

To make the machine a server scale

1. Press > 2. Select 2: ISC Machine Type. 3. Set the Machine to Server. Networking ‐ ISC Machine Type The machine network system in a store can consist of a mixture of label and receipt machines. The system supports any combination of machines in the XM and XT ranges (If they have the same software version). Scale networks can be connected in a wired or wireless ethernet setup. Scales can be set up as: Stand‐Alone: Each scale is independent. Communication is only possible to a back office system. Server/Client: One or more client scales receives its data from a server scale. The number of clients that can be supported on a network depends on server performance. A back office host can communicate with the server which will then communicate with the clients. Scales set up in such a way can share resources and information (operators, PLUs, and so on). Local price and product updates can be made at any of the scales. Floating vendor is possible, whereby an operator moves from one scale to another, picking up live transactions from a particular customer at the scale they have moved to. Multi‐Server: Each scale is configured as a server. If there is a back office software application this communicates with all the scales. Each scale holds its own product file and floating vendor is not possible. 1 Network ID Network ID is the equivalent of the Peer ID, but for Server Client networks. It identifies which machines are in the same logical network. For example, a large department with smaller counters. All machines are physically connected on the Ethernet network but only the machines with a matching network ID connect to each other as a server client network. 2 ISC Machine Type Sets the type of machine: Standalone Scale: There is no ISC (Inter Scale Communications). Host communications (For example, from a computer) is direct to the scale. Server Scale: This is the host scale, and most data is replicated to the client scales. Client Scale Peer Group Scale: Only local price changes are distributed to other machines with the same Peer ID. This is typically for a label system where local price changes need to be distributed to other machines on the same counter. For example, on a deli counter. The machine type is shown on the taskbar. 3 Peer Group ID Identifies which peer group the scale belongs to. For example, you can have a store‐wide network that is divided into groups by giving each group its own peer ID. 4 Short Machine ID A two‐digit machine ID that is shown on the taskbar.

Peer Group: Each scale is configured as a server in the same way as a multi‐server network but local

price and product updates can be made at any scale and communicated across the scales configured within the same peer group. To access the setting that determines the scale usage: 1. Press > > > 2. Select 2: ISC Machine Type Machine Settings ‐ Identification > 7: Identification Configuring Printers This sets some basic functionality for the printer: 1. Press > > 1 Machine ID Locked 2 Description (Computer Name) This applies to scales on networks with DHCP enabled. The computer name identifies the scale even if the IP address changes. If DCHP is enabled, then the computer name is shown on the taskbar. Note: Even if DCHP is not enabled, the computer name is used as the identifier for the scale that is connected to a network. For example, when connected to a computer. 3 Description You can give the scale a short description. 4 Department Sets the default department. 1 Label Taken Sensor Sets whether the scale senses when a label has been taken. 2 Label Type Sets the label type to either separate or continuous. 3 Roll Width The width of the label roll in mm. Note: If the label design is greater than the roll width, the design takes precedence, and the label is truncated.

7. Programming Products

Products (PLUs) Products include all weighed and non‐weighed items. Products are grouped by department. Each product has its own PLU (Product Look Up).

Groups have two purposes: 1. To report on totals for all products per group. For example, sales value for all products in the Beef Group. 2. You can design a keyboard with the top level keyboard with just the Group keys, see Touch Menus (Keyboards). For example, Fruit & Veg, Meats and so on. Each Group key is a link to another keyboard with either a subgroup or all products in that group. For example. Meat > Beef > Sirloin Steak. Prerequisites The following must be done before assigning a product to a group: 11 Promotion Type If Promotion is enabled, this sets the type of promotion. 12 Promo Time Period 1 You can set up to 2 promo periods and only over these periods the PLU is on promotion.

Normally used for ’r;sell by’ and ’r;use by’ dates. 19 Date 2 Offset 20 Tax Rate 1 You can set two different tax rates. The operator selects the tax rate at the point of sale. For example, depending on whether the transaction is for cold/ hot or takeaway/eat in. 21 Tax Rate 2 22 NetWeight Value Weight value of a non‐weighed product sold on an average weight basis. For example, 400g for all loaves of a certain size. 23 Message ID (1) Messages are defined in the label > Sales message group. 24 Message ID (2) 25 Group Assigns the PLU to a product category. 26 Information Label Selects whether an information label is printed or not.

New/Select Item in Time Period Link Fields Mix and Match Offers Mix and Match offers are a special type of promotion that applies when the customer purchases a specified number of a combination of items. This type of offer is only applicable to non weighed products that are sold with the machine in receipt mode. The scale processes all items in the receipt and then allocates them to any active offers that will result in a saving to the customer. The items are allocated to the offers in such a way as to give the customer the best possible savings. Products can have quantity break promotions and be part of a mix and match offer at the same time. Provided the conditions for each promotion are met then both may be applicable. 1 Time Period ID You can have up to 99 time periods. 2 Description The title of the time period. 3 Start and end date The start and end date of the promotion. 4 Start and end time The start and end time of the promotion. 5 Monday to Sunday Days that the promotion applies, Either On or OFF 6 Items in Time Period Link Product promotions to be associated with the promotion period. 1 PLU Number Select from the list of products. 2 Department Select the department. 3 Time Period ID Locked to the selected promotion period.

An offer can be one of four types:‐

1. Fixed Price – where all of the qualifying items are sold for a fixed price. The saving amount is the total of all of the qualifying items less the fixed price. 2. Money off – where the normal total sales value of all of the qualifying items is reduced by an amount. The saving is the money off value. 3. Discount – where the total of all of the qualifying items is discounted by a percentage value. The saving amount is the total price – the discounted price. 4. Free Gift – where the cheapest item in the gift list which is in the receipt and not already given in another offer is given free. The saving value is the value of the free gift. An offer becomes satisfied when the number of items sold in each of the qualifying lists matches the purchase quantity. In the case of a free gift the offer only results in a saving if one of the items in the gift list is included in the basket. If it is, it will be given free. Notes: • An Item cannot be included in more than one qualifying group for the same offer. • Calculating offers is processor intensive and can effect the scales performance if a large number of offers with a large number of qualifying items are active. To avoid performance problems keep the number of live offers to a minimum. Offers that are currently not live can be disabled by linking to a time period which in the past. In addition, limit the total number of qualifying items to less than 30 for the XT scale and less than 10 for the XM scale. • In multi operator mode the auto subtotal display can be disabled ensuring the offers are only calculated once at payment time. Product Lines and Offer Groups Before setting up a mix and match offer you will need to create one or more Offer Groups. These are lists of the products that are to be included in the offer. At least one and a maximum of 5 qualifying product lines must be programmed for every Offer Group. • If an Offer Group has just one product the scale will operate in the same way as it does with existing PLU based promotions. (non‐weighed offers only) • If multiple products have been added then the purchase quantity applies to each of the lines and offer only applies when all of the qualifying lines are purchased. This type of offer is typically used in meal deals. • Where an offer requires different number of items to be purchased for each list then the same qualifying line can be used more than once. For instance, “buy 2 starters and a main course” can be setup by setting the purchase quantity as 1 and assigning 2 starter product lines and 1 main product line as the qualifying products. To set up Product Lines: 1. Press > > 2. Press followed by .

From this screen you can add, remove or edit the Offer Groups that can be applied to the offer.

4. Select an Offer Group and press Select to view its details. 5. Select Offer items and press Edit to add and remove products from the Offer Group.

You may wish to set up one or more time periods for the offer. If the offer is not linked to a time

period it will be active until it is deleted. To set up a time period for an offer: 1. Press > > 2. Press followed by . 3. The Time Period edit settings allow you to set a range of dates and specify times and days of the week when the offer will be active.

Mix and Match Offer Rules

When multiple offers are in operation, calculating which combination provides the best value can be complex. The scale operates the following frules for Mix and Match Offers: • Products can be programmed against multiple offers but once specific item has been used to satisfy an offer then the same item will not be used to satisfy another offer. Items that can potentially be used to satisfy more than one offer shall be used against the offer resulting in the maximum customer saving. For Example: Melons are £1.20 each Offer 1: 3 for 2 melon offer Offer 2: Buy 2 melons for £2.00 Customer has 4 melons. Allocating 3 melons to offer 1 would result in one free melon and a saving of £1.20 Allocating 2 melons to offer 2 would result in a saving of £0.40 Therefore 3 of the 4 melons will be allocated to offer 1 and 1 melon will be charged at £1.20 • A free gift offer will always result in the cheapest item being given free. • PLU based offers using the existing promotions can apply at the same time as offer based promotions. E.g. a product may be on 2 for 1 offer and also part of a meal deal. • Offer calculations shall be independent of the order in which the items are transacted. • Offers are only relevant to receipt mode operation. Mix and Match in Operation When a transaction results in an offer becoming applicable a message showing the details will be displayed on the customer’s and operator’s screens. The savings from each offer will be listed on the receipt after the transactions.

The total savings can be printed as message on the receipt using a substitution code.

A management report is available to help you determine the effectiveness of the promotions. The report provides the following data for each offer. • Offer ID • Offer Description • Offer Period • Number of times the offer was given • Sales value of items (standard sales value of the items) • Cost of the offer (Sum of all the savings made) Note: Any tax calculations used to print the tax summary on the receipt and the tax report take into account the savings given and reduce the tax declaration accordingly.
