Print mode 47 This blueprint will always work assuming that you have a non zero Total Price You may want to use a different tare than that of the PLU that you are calling up use a different price use a different piece count or weigh the Net Weight Statement In any case these are features that are accessed using different keys that can add steps to this basic blueprint All of these features will be covered in the sections to follow You may have realized that this basic blueprint can work for By Count PLUs although By Count PLUs need not be weighed you can place them on the platter when you do a transaction Whenever you call up a PLU you need to know whether the PLU is By Count or By Weight Remember that By Count PLUs do not need to be weighed so you can save yourself the step of having to place the item on the scale This can increase your productivity The easiest way to tell the a PLU is By Count is that the Weight Display is blank Additionally the Pcs Lamp will be on Conversely the lb Lamp will be on for By Weight PLUs Selecting or Calling Up a PLU 1 Start in Sales mode 2 Type the PLU number and press or press a Speed Key Miscellaneous PLUs The basic blueprint of a Misc PLU sales transaction is Q Startat the Initial State O Type a By Weight price using the numeric keys or a By Count price using the numeric and MJ keys Place the item on the scale m a Press PRINT a
