Overview
SAFETY WARNINGS
Lethal Voltages
This equipment is supplied by a mains voltage which can cause electric shock
injury. Before removing the unit case or the covers of any remote units (for
example: displays, weighing platforms, customer keyboards etc.), disconnect
completely the mains power supply and ensure that it cannot be connected
inadvertently by other persons.
If the unit case or the covers of any remote units have been removed, do not
apply power to the unit unless specifically instructed to do so in these
instructions. When working on live equipment, exercise great care, use
insulated tools and test equipment, and do not work alone.
The capacitors in the power supply unit will hold a charge for a period of up to
six minutes after the power supply is switched off. During this time, do not
touch the unit. Do not attempt to discharge the capacitors by shorting their
terminals.
The power plug must be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide
over–current protection of 5 amperes. The socket outlet must be within easy
reach for isolation of the machine for cleaning and servicing.
Do not clean the machine or any remote units whilst it is switched on. For
cleaning use only a clean cloth moistened with water containing a small
amount of domestic detergent.
CX20/CX30/CX34 Service Manual xv

Overview
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
General
Before servicing a machine, it is recommended that the machine’s data is backed–up.
Refer to Part 2, Programming Handbook for use on Data Collector Units (DCUs).
Static Sensitive Devices

Almost all electronic integrated circuits, commonly known as ’chips’, are static sensitive
devices (SSDs). They will be destroyed if contaminated with static electricity.
When working with SSDs follow anti–static procedures which include:
the wearing of an anti–static wrist bracelet
making sure that the workbench is covered by a static–discharge mat
avoiding wearing nylon clothes
discharging any anti–static electricity which may be on your person by contacting an

earthed device before handling an SSD.
Keep an SSD in a bag made of an anti–static or conductive material. When shipping an
SSD, cover all the SSD contacts with an anti–static or conductive material (not polythene).
When shipping an assembly which contains SSDs, pack it securely in an anti–static bag.
Handling Procedures
The transducer in the machine or remote weighing platform is not protected against
negative overload. Do not lift the machine or remote weighing platform by the cross
assembly or transducer after the covers have been removed.
When the cross assembly, load stop or transducer are disassembled or otherwise removed,
handle the transducer with care. Do not exert physical force on it and do not attempt to
disassemble its component parts.
The strain pads and wires in the transducer are extremely sensitive. Do not attempt any
maintenance within the transducer and ensure that the strain wires are not damaged by
tools or other objects during maintenance, storage or shipment.
Main PCB
The main PCB has a battery installed on it to maintain memory data. If you are removing
the main PCB from the unit, the battery must be switched off (refer to procedures) to
prevent live parts of the PCB being shorted. Before switching off the battery, if possible, the
data contained in the machine should be backed–up (refer to Part 2, Programming
Handbook for use on the DCU). Although the battery supply is switched off, take great care
not to short the battery terminals during maintenance. After fitting a main PCB the battery
must be switched on.
Print Head
The thermal print head of the printer will be damaged if scratched with sharp objects (such
as a screwdriver or knife blade). When examining or servicing the print head, take care not
to damage it. If the print head requires cleaning, use only the cleaning kit specified in these
procedures.

Any warnings, cautions or notes must be strictly observed.
ORDERING
New Parts
When ordering a new part, make sure that you use the correct part number. Before fitting,
make sure that its part number matches the part number of the part being removed (or is an
approved alternative).
PUBLICATION NOTES
User Handbooks
The engineer is advised to carry a copy of the User Handbooks for reference during
maintenance. The User Handbooks for each machine are divided into seven Parts: Parts 1
and 7 are machine specific and Parts 2 to 6 are common to each machine. The Parts are:

Number
Part 1 Operators’ Handbook Machine specific
Part 2 Programming Handbook Common
Part 3 Networks and Operating Modes Common
Part 4 Management Totals Common
Part 5 Help Information Common
Part 6 Label and Barcode Formats Common
Part 7 Quick Reference Guide Machine specific

See Fitting Instructions for the Column Mounted TK Keyboard Kit, Part Number 76102–188.
Notation
In this publication, where a metric value is quoted, Continental notation is used (comma for
decimal separator, space for 000’s separator). Where an Imperial value is quoted, British
notation is used (full point for decimal separator, comma for 000’s separator). Where a
value is quoted which may be either metric or Imperial (such as a period of time or an
electrical value), Continental notation is used.

1 — Introduction
1.1 General
This manual provides service instructions for weighing scales of the CX20,
CX30 and CX34 series.
The units are electronic weighing, price computing and printing machines for
retail use. They are mains powered and can be operated as stand–alone units
or in a network. The units will interface with facilities such as:
cash drawer
data collector unit (DCU)
remote programming keyboard
remote operator’s keyboard
customer self–service keyboard
external printer
There are four main types of machine: receipt only (R); receipt only with cash
register functions (ECR); label and receipt (LS); and label and receipt with cash
register functions (LS/ECR). There are also customer self–service keyboard
(TK) and wrapping machine (W) versions.
Each machine can be programmed to configure the keyboard to suit the goods
and prices of the vendor. The keyboard face can be written on using an erasible
crayon. An audible tone sounds during keyboard operation and for certain
prompts and error messages.
The units, generally, feature a weighplate, keyboard, vendor and customer
displays, keyswitch and printer.
The keyboard has two modes of operation, serving customers and
programming, each having its own overlay.
The vendor and customer displays are at the front and rear of the machine,
respectively. Each comprises a number of display fields and annunciators which
provide information such as, weight, price, tare operation, commodity description
etc.
A keyswitch allows the selection of four modes of operation. There are three
keys used in the keyswitch:
OP key: provides access to OPerator and SUPERVISOR modes
X key: same as OP key; also provides access to System X and Machine X
programming menus
Z key: same as X key; also provides access to System Z and Machine Z
programming menus.
There are two types of printer, receipt(R) and label and receipt (LS). Both
printers are thermal type printers which print receipts and reports on a thermal
paper roll. The label and receipt printer also prints labels on a thermal label roll
and utilises a cassette for loading the paper. A number of these cassettes can
be retained for use, each loaded with different paper. Both printers can print
alpha characters, numeric characters and barcode graphics, when required.

2.1 Mechanical Description
2.1.1 CX20/CX30
The CX20/CX30 unit is built around a metal chassis to which is attached four
adjustable feet (six on the CX30 TK machine) and a spirit level. A plastic lower
housing fits around the chassis. A plastic case fits over the top of the lower
housing and the interior assemblies. A weighplate is positioned at the top of the
machine.
The keyboard is located at the front of the machine to the left–hand side. On
the CX30 TK the additional customer self–service keyboard is remotely mounted
or fitted to the front of a single head–up display column (there can both on one
machine).

The printer is located in a housing on the right–hand side of the machine,

accessible through a removable drop–down door (lockable on the CX30 TK). It
dispenses printed tickets through a ticket slot at the front.
The CX20 unit has two 20–character, vacuum–fluorescent, numeric displays,
one on the vendor side of the unit and one on the customer side. These
displays present numeric and annunciator information only. A small liquid crystal
display (LCD), capable of presenting alpha and numeric information (16 digits),
is positioned below the ticket slot to provide the operator with prompts and error
messages.
The CX30 unit has a head–up display assembly. This comprises two
alpha–numeric displays mounted on top of a double column at the customer
side of the unit. The head–up display presents information to the customer and
vendor by way of two display screens. Operator prompt information and error
messages are presented only on the vendor side of the display assembly. The
CX30 does not have an LCD.

A transducer is mounted on the chassis. On top of this is positioned a four–arm,

cross assembly. The weighplate has four spigots on its lower surface, each of
which sits in a cross rubber at the end of each arm of the cross assembly. A
load placed on the weighplate is, therefore, transferred evenly through the cross
assembly to the transducer. The transducer physically distorts under the
influence of a load, and this distortion is detected by the strain–wires attached
inside the transducer.
Overload protection of the transducer is provided by an adjustable grub screw
fitted to the transducer mounting bracket directly underneath the transducer,
below the centre of the cross assembly. Additional adjustable bolts are provided
below the extreme end of each arm of the cross assembly to prevent
asymmetrically–placed loads from overloading the transducer. There are no
mechanical stops to prevent the occurrence of an excess negative load.
A printed circuit board (PCB) containing the power supply components is
attached to the chassis: the power supply is a switch mode power supply
(SMPS). This assembly is covered by a metal shroud fabricated from sheet
aluminium. The shroud is ventilated by a series of slots around the upper area
of its sides.
A main PCB containing the majority of the electronic components of the unit is
positioned over the chassis and below the cross assembly. A rectangular hole
near the middle of the main PCB provides clearance for the transducer
mounting block onto which the cross assembly is secured.
The main PCB is positioned above the chassis on four pillars, one at each
corner: two pillars are attached to the chassis and two to the printer spine. Two
clamps, each spanning two pillars and held in position by two special nuts,
clamp the main PCB to the top of the pillars. The top surface of the pillars is
where the adjustable bolts are installed which act as asymmetric overload stops
for the transducer.
A secondary PCB, the analogue–to–digital converter (A/D PCB), is installed on
the component side (underside) of the main PCB. This is located by four plastic
pillar clips spanning between the A/D PCB and the main PCB, and by the
electrical plug interface.
A communications controller (comms) PCB is available as an optional addition
and is fitted on the component side of the main PCB. This is located by four
plastic pillar clips and is connected to the main PCB by a flying ribbon cable
from the comms PCB.
For descriptions of the transducer, keyboard, displays, printers, main PCB and
comms PCB, refer to the appropriate sections in this manual.

2.1.2 CX20 W and CX9/A702

The CX20 W and CX9/A702 machines are used in conjunction with ULMA
Automatic Stretch Wrapping machines. Together they provide indicating,
printing and weighing functions and are an integral part of the wrapping
equipment. They can also be used on other manufacturers stretch wrapping
machines.
Figure 2.4 ULMA Wrapping Machines
The CX20 W is an indicating and printing machine. It provides an RS232 output

for communication with the wrapping machine and generates the wrapper
program number.
The CX20 W is a modified version of a CX20 LS in which the transducer
assembly, cross assembly, weighplate and customer display have been
removed. Added to it are an RS232 interface PCB, a photocell detector and
three output connectors. In place of the customer display is a metal plate.
The RS232 interface PCB is fitted over six pillars screwed in to the base of the
CX20 W, adjacent to the power supply. It is secured to the top of the pillars with
six screws with integral shakeproof washers.
The photocell is fitted to a bracket, attached to the printer spine. The head of
the photocell is positioned just in front and above the print head (where the
paper roll exits the printer).
An output for connection to the remote transducer (CX9/A702) is fitted to the
connector plate assembly towards the rear of the machine. Two outputs for
connection to wrapping machines are fitted to an output plate. This plate is
fitted above a cut-out in the base adjacent to the RS232 PCB, towards the rear
of the of the machine.

2.1.3 CX34
The CX34 unit is built around a mild steel chassis which is suspended from a
customer support via a fixing assembly. Fitted to the front (vendor side) and
rear (customer side) of the chassis are moulded plastic housings which enclose
all the unit’s major components Projecting from the underside of the unit is a
bracket which supports the cradle assembly and scoop that hangs directly
underneath.
The front housing houses a printer, suspension assembly, power supply unit and
vendor display PCB. There is a rectangular aperture at the front of the housing
over which is fitted a vendor display screen; below this is a a keyboard. Another
aperture, underneath the front housing at the right–hand side, allows printer
tickets to exit the unit; a black plastic moulding insert with cut-out is fitted over
the aperture.

The rear housing houses a main PCB, A/D PCB and customer display PCB. A
customer display screen is fitted externally towards the bottom of the rear
housing.
The printer assembly is fitted to both sides of a vertical printer spine which is
fitted to the chassis towards the right–hand side of the unit. A bracket, fitted to
the front of the printer spine, along with the chassis, printer door and printer
spine itself, form a printer compartment at the right–hand side of the unit. In this
compartment are: print head assembly, paper sensor and cassette locating bars
(label machines only), mains ON/OFF switch, operator keyswitch and DCU
connector. On the left–hand side of the spine are fitted the printer drive motors.
The printer door is held shut by magnets.
The suspension assembly, which incorporates the transducer assembly,
supports the cradle assembly and scoop. The top of the suspension assembly
(mounting boss) is secured to the top of the chassis. The bottom of the
assembly protrudes through a hole in the base of the unit; the cradle assembly
hooks over this.
The power supply PCB is fitted to four pillars attached to the left–hand side of
the chassis. It is secured with two screws (adjacent to left–hand side of unit)
and two hexagonal support pillars. An aluminium RFI cover (complete with
warning label) fits over the PCB and is secured to the two hexagonal pillars. It
has slits in its sides for ventilation and slots and cut-outs in its bottom edges for
cables and looms. Cables are protected by rubber rings when passing through
the slits in the aluminium cover and chassis.
The vendor display PCB is fitted over the aperture inside the front housing. It is
fixed to two narrow vertical brackets which, in turn, are fitted to four pillars (two
per bracket) which support it proud of housing.
The keyboard, which has 80 keys, is fitted to the outside of the front housing in
a specially moulded recess just below the display aperture. An operator’s
overlay is adhered to the front of the keyboard; in front of this is a transparent
sheet held in position by two rubber strips above and below the keyboard. The
transparent sheet protects the overlay and also holds in position a programming
overlay (supplied loose) as it is only fixed to the keyboard along its bottom edge.
The main PCB is fitted to the back of the chassis on four pillars, component side
outermost. A rectangular hole in the PCB allows looms to be passed through to
the other side of the unit, via a circular hole in the chassis. The main PCB has
four pillars on the component side for securing the A/D PCB; each pillar has an
internal, flexible barb for locking the A/D PCB in place.
The A/D PCB is fitted towards the top of the main PCB. It clips into a connector
on the main PCB and is held in place by the four pillars.
The customer display PCB is fitted to the inside of the rear housing. Its fixing is
similar to that of the vendor display PCB.
At the top of the unit, moulded into the front and rear housings, is a raised
section which is approximately 50 mm proud of the main unit. Cut–outs in the
top of the section allow the mounting boss to pass through it and give access to
the ISC and Host/Master connectors and mains input socket which are fitted to
the top of the chassis.

2.2 Electrical Description

The unit is powered by a mains electricity supply, which is transformed, rectified
and smoothed by a power supply unit. The power supply unit distributes the
derived power supplies to the main PCB through a cable loom terminated by a
multi–pin plug. Any external power supply requirements (such as when
powering an external data network) are provided by a connection from the
main PCB. When fitted, the comms PCB also provides a local power supply for
the network.
The transducer is a strain–wire type connected through a local PCB on the
transducer to the A/D PCB. The A/D PCB converts analogue data received
from the strain–wires into digital form. The resistance of the strain–wires
changes according to the strain placed upon them (caused by physical distortion
of the transducer shell), and this change of resistance is detected by the A/D
PCB. The A/D PCB generates a digital equivalent of the analogue input for use
by calculation circuitry on the main PCB.
The main PCB derives a calculation of the load weight, by reference to firmware
which determines the units of measure (Imperial, metric, or other according to
customer choice). The load weight data is passed to the display driver and to
the microprocessor. The load weight is displayed on both customer and vendor
displays.
The main PCB scans the keyboard for input. If a Price Look Up (PLU) is
entered, the microprocessor acquires the price per weight data from memory
(which is backed–up by a battery on the main PCB). The PLU data, which
includes price per weight and goods description, is passed to the display driver
and to the microprocessor. The price per weight or item price data and the
goods description is displayed on both customer and vendor displays (LCD on
vendor side – CX20 only).
The microprocessor calculates the load price by reference to the load weight
and PLU data, and passes the load price to the display driver. The
microprocessor also passes operator–prompt information to the display driver.
On the CX20, the display driver displays the load price on both customer and
vendor displays, and also displays operator–prompt information in
alpha–numeric form on the LCD. On the CX30 and CX34, the display driver
transmits both the load price and operator–prompt information to both customer
and vendor displays. It also passes a discrete signal within the display data
which is interpreted by the customer display to suppress operator prompt data
from that display.
The microprocessor waits for the transaction to be accepted, modified, or
cancelled: this is signalled to the microprocessor by further keyboard input or
can be automatic. Assuming that the transaction is accepted, the
microprocessor logs the transaction to a cumulative table of transactions. It
then transmits a selection of data to the printer driver which is situated on the
main PCB.
The printer driver, on receiving transaction data from the microprocessor,
translates the data by reference to firmware stored on the main PCB. The
firmware formats a printable entry, to include character–composition and page
size data, and transmits the formatted data to the printer assembly.
In label mode, when transaction has been accepted (automatic or keyboard
input), the printer prints a label and then advances the label roll ready for the
next label operation: transaction is complete.

In receipt mode, when transaction has been accepted (keyboard input), the
microprocessor sums all the component transactions and transmits the result for
display. This procedure continues for each transaction until the end of sale,
then the microprocessor drives the printer to print the totals and transmits the
results for display. When the operation is complete and the printer has finished,
the microprocessor drives it to advance the ticket roll; this enables the ticket to
be torn off by the operator and issued as an itemized receipt.
The unit includes a variety of connectors enabling connection to various external
or network functions.
Details of unit operation are contained in the User Handbooks applicable to the
unit. See Overview section for more details.
2.3 Networking
Refer to Section 21.
Each unit is capable of being networked as either a MASTER or a SLAVE unit.
2.4 Built–in Test Equipment

The unit includes diagnostic software written in the EPROM firmware. This can
be accessed for maintenance use by the setting of a DIL switch. The diagnostic
software contains a number of diagnostic routines which the engineer can
choose to run (refer to Section 8). Program progress and results are displayed
on the unit displays. The unit also will display error messages generated from
firmware in response to certain conditions of operator error or equipment failure:
the list of error messages is shown in Section 10.

wrapper.
4 Route the load cell cable through the supplied trunking to the indicator
support and up through the centre of the support.
5 Adjust the height of the load cell and its extension to achieve 5 mm
clearance between the bottom of a pack and the top of the in–feed belt.
Ensure that the clearance is equal on all extensions.
6 Level the load cell and re–check and, if necessary, re–adjust the
clearances.
7 Tighten or lock all adjustments.
8 Feed the mains socket and lead up through the indicator support.
9 Feed the wrapper interface cable down through the indicator support.
10 Place the indicator/printer on to the support and secure.
11 Connect the mains, load cell and interface connectors in to the base of
the indicator/printer.
12 Switch on and adjust calibration.
13 Connect wrapper interface connector to wrapper.
14 Set indicator to label mode, Pre–pack and Wrapper ON.
15 Create a stored tare value for tare No. 2. Refer to appropriate
Operators’ Handbook.
16 Create a PLU No. 2, with a stored tare No. 2 text Meat. Refer to
appropriate Operators’ Handbook.
17 Switch on wrapper, select scale mode and Press I. Refer to appropriate
Operators’ Handbook.
18 Set wrapper program to 1. Refer to appropriate Operators’ Handbook.

19 Select PLU No. 2 on scale. Refer to appropriate Operators’ Handbook.
Display will show ’Tare No 2’ – Press ’Enter’
Display will show ’Meat’
Simultaneously the tare number will be transmitted to the wrapper as

the wrapper program number.
The wrapper will respond by accepting the number 2 and then change
its program number from 1 to 2. At this point a prompt may appear
which says ”Width 2”. (This will depend on whether the wrapper is fitted
with auto width selection.)
If this appears adjust the width setting until the display changes to:
Prog 2 T=120
L=1 A=2 T=4

20 Place pack on the load cell extension. When a stable weight is
achieved a label will be printed. Simultaneously the wrapper will start
and transport the pack into the wrapper where it is wrapped and
discharged by the outfeed conveyor.
21 Load the customers PLU information and check the operation of a
selection of the PLUs with different stored tares.
4.2.1 Approvals and stamping

The indicators and load cell platforms have been granted EC approval.
The approval is covered by two certificates:
Certificate No. T2426 for top pan scales i.e. CX20/A410
Certificate No. T2427 for two–piece scales i.e. CX31/B400
These certificates cover Non–automatic combinations of weighing and
wrapping equipment.
The definition of non–automatic is as follows:
”Non–automatic weighing instrument:
Instrument requires the intervention of an operator during the
weighing process, for example, to deposit on or remove from
the receptor the load to be measured and also to obtain the
result.”
This definition applies to both versions of in–feed as long as the removal of the
label initiates the next wrapper cycle.
The certificate also covers the use of the CX20 and CX31/B400 with other types
of automatic stretch wrappers if they conform to the above mentioned definition.

7 — Calibration and Adjustments
7.1 Introduction
Calibration data is held in the EEPROM. Calibration data contains span, zero
and linearity settings.
During calibration the weight display is active and subdivision data displayed in
the alphanumeric display.
NOTE: If the capacity of a machine is changed the machine must be

re–calibrated.
7.2 Adjustment of Overload Stops (CX20/CX30)

There is no adjustment necessary to the central overload stop, which is located
directly underneath the transducer and the centre of the cross, as this is factory
set.
7.2.1 Adjustment of Asymmetric Overload Stops

To adjust the asymmetric overload stops, proceed as follows:
1 Switch off machine and isolate it from the mains power supply.
2 Remove weighplate and case as detailed in Section 3. Then fit
weighplate back on cross.
3 Apply full load (varies according to scale) plus 0,5 kg (1 lb) to one
corner of weigh plate.
4 Adjust asymmetric overload stop below loaded corner so that head of
stop just contacts underside of weighplate. Lock overload stop in
position by tightening lock nut.
5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 at three other corner positions.
6 Remove weighplate and reassemble machine (refer to Section 3).
7.3 Adjustment of Overload Stops (CX9/A702)

There is no adjustment necessary to the central overload stop, which is located
directly underneath the transducer and the centre of the cross, as this is factory
set.
7.4 Adjustment of Overload Stops (CX34)

There is no adjustment necessary to the overload stops above and below the
transducer, as they are factory set.

7.5 Calibration
To calibrate the unit, proceed as follows:
NOTE: See Section 5.2 for service mode entry.
1 On the CX20/CX30/CX9/A702 check

that unit is level and adjust levelling
feet if necessary.
2 Enter service mode by using the DIL

switch (refer to Section 5.2.2).

CALIBRATION
If unit cannot self–calibrate at the weights in use, it will display OUTSIDE

RANGE for approximately two seconds then revert to CALIBRATION.
A calibrated standard weight is required to perform these functions. If, while
adding the full load, there is a fault on the transducer or the operator is applying
incorrect loads, on pressing the ENTER key, the scale will display OUTSIDE
RANGE and then abort the proceedings reverting back to CALIBRATION menu.
The limit for this is ±30% of expected count value at full load.

9 — Label Formats
9.2 Labels
The label is from 40 mm to 160 mm long, up to approximately 50 mm wide and
can be supplied pre–printed or plain.
NOTE: Dark pre–printed labels can cause problems with the printer’s
photodetector resulting in a LABEL FEED ERR error display. See
Section 10.
9.2.1 Label format

Three types of label format are available: 0°, 90° and 180° orientation. The
machine stores 60 formats; 20 of each type, of which 10 are pre–programmed
and 10 flexible (see Table 9.1). Pre–programmed formats are standards that
have already been set up and always reside in the machine (refer to Users’
Handbook Part 6, Label and Barcode Formats). Flexible formats are initially
empty (that is, their settings are either 0 or default) allowing new formats to be
created from scratch.
NOTE: Pre–programmed formats can be edited, however, after a ’cold start’

(refer to Section 5.5) they revert to their original settings.

9.2.2 Label fields

Each label format comprises a number of fields. A field is a rectangular area on
the label in which is printed: unit price, dates, sales messages, text, barcode etc.
A space is reserved for the optional store name at the leading edge of every
label. Figure 9.2 shows a sample of a label and next to it is the same label
showing the outline of the fields (obtained using the PRINT FORMAT option –
see Section 9.7): this is the principle on which a new label format is created.

9.2.3 Label field co–ordinates

To program a new label format each field requires two co–ordinates: X1,Y1 and
X2,Y2. These set the field’s size and position. The X1,Y1 co–ordinate is at the
field’s top left–hand corner and the X2,Y2 at the opposite corner (bottom
right–hand).
Each co–ordinate consists of two three–digit numbers (for example: X1,Y1 =
003,195). The numbers are obtained by measuring, in millimetres, the distance
between the co–ordinate and a reference point in the X and Y planes. These
distances are called x1 and y1 or x2 and y2 respectively. These distances are
then multiplied by a plane–dependent conversion factor (as the printer cannot
interpret a measurement) to give the co–ordinates X1 and Y1 or X2 and Y2.
Refer to Table 9.2.
NOTE: The reference point, or start point, is always at the bottom left–hand
corner of the label, as read.

9.2.4 Label start point

The label start point, or origin, is the point on the label from which all label
co–ordinates are determined. This point corresponds to the 000,000
co–ordinate stored in the machine. The label’s start point is always at (0° label),
or near (90° and 180° labels), its bottom left–hand corner.

9.2.5 The offset (90 and 180 degree formats only)

Unlike the 0° label format, the label start points of the 90° and 180° formats are
referenced, in the machine’s software, to the right–hand side of the print head –
see Figure 9.3. Consequently, an ’offset’ value has to be added to the Y (90°)
and X (180°) coordinates to compensate for the difference between print head
and label width.
The print head used on all label machines is approximately 53.5 mm wide. It
has 160 dots across its width at three dots every 1 mm. Therefore, as maximum
label width is 50 mm, this offset will always be required.
The offset value is usually obtained by measurement but can also be calculated
– see Section 25.2.1.

9.2.6 Determining the Start Point of a 90 Degree Format

To determine the start point for a 90° label format carry out the following (refer to
Figure 9.5):
1 From the top edge of the label, measure 53.5 mm down in the plane of
the Y axis.
2 Draw in the X axis through this point.
3 Draw in the Y axis along the left–hand edge of the label.
The start point is the point of intersection between the X and Y axes.

1 From the right–hand edge of the label, measure 53.5 mm to the left in
the plane of the X axis.
2 Draw in the Y axis through this point.
3 Draw in the X axis along the bottom edge of the label.

The start point is the point of intersection between the X and Y axes.

9.2.8 Text fonts

There are 24 text fonts available. During programming each text font is
represented by a letter. The text fonts are shown below (approximately full
size), each letter representing the actual programmed font.
Fonts in certain fields can be changed by the vendor in the programming mode.
9.2.9 References
In the three LEGEND fields, sales messages may be referenced. These are
fixed references and cannot be altered in the PLU editor, unlike the variable
sales messages.

9.3 Creating a New Label Format
IMPORTANT:
In some markets the new label format must be approved by the
local Weights and Measures Regulations. To check approval,
contact Avery Berkel Customer Support (see Page ix in the
About This Manual section).
The process for creating a new label format can be broken down into three
stages:
design (refer to Section 9.3.1)
determining the label field co–ordinates (refer to Section 9.3.2)
programming (refer to Section 9.3.3).
To create a new label format: draw the required label format to the customer’s
specifications – if necessary have it checked by Avery Berkel Customer Support;
measure the position of the fields and obtain their co–ordinates; program the
machine with the new format.
Section 9.3.4 shows how to create a new 0° label format, giving a step–by–step
guide with illustrations.
9.3.1 Design
To design the new label format, stick the required label on to a piece of paper.
On the label draw the outline of each field, identifying it by writing its code
number inside.
Before drawing in the fields, please note the following:
Make sure each field is big enough for selected text font and the number
of characters to be printed; specially the unit price, weight and pack price
fields.
Allow a gap of 6 mm at the leading edge of every label across its width.
The machine reserves this area for the optional store name (programmed
using the X key).
Allow a gap of at least 1 mm between adjacent fields and along the label’s
edges.
To ensure barcode is correctly printed, minimum widths (X co–ordinate for
all label formats) are:
EAN 13/UPC 12/UPC = 110 co–ordinates

EAN 8 = 80 co–ordinates.
After designing the new format, if necessary, find out if the format is approved by
contacting Avery Berkel Customer Support.

9 — Label Formats
9.3.2 Determining the label field co–ordinates

At the bottom left–hand corner of the label mark the position of the start point –
for a 90° or 180° label its position needs to be offset, see Section 9.2.5. Draw
the X and Y axes through the start point. For each field obtain x1, y1, x2 and y2
by measuring the distances from start point to both co–ordinates in the X and Y
planes (see Section 9.2.3).
Convert x1, y1, x2 and y2 values to co–ordinates, X1,Y1 and X2,Y2, using the
conversion factors in Table 9.2.
9.3.3 Programming
The details of the new label format have to be programmed into the machine,
this is done in the EDIT FORMAT option – see Section 9.4.
After selecting the required format number for editing, the new label format can
be programmed. This involves the entry of two co–ordinates and, depending on
type of field, text font and a reference number. This is done for each field in
sequence until ENTRY ACCEPTED is displayed, indicating that your new label
format has been programmed and accepted by the machine.

9.3.4 Example – creating a new 0 degree label format

The following example shows how to create a new 0° label format.
1 Obtain a label, peel off the backing paper and stick it onto a sheet of
paper. (If a label is not available you can draw its outline on the paper.)
See Diagram A below.
2 On the label draw the outline of all the fields you require, identifying
each field by inserting its code number. See Diagram B below.
NOTE: Don’t forget to allow 6 mm at the bottom of the label for the
STORE NAME, even if it has not has been programmed.
3 Mark the position of the label’s start point and draw in the X and Y
axes. See Diagram C below.
NOTE: For 0° and 180° labels the start point must be offset. See
Section 9.2.5.

10.1 Commodity Display Error Messages

Error messages appear in the commodity display to indicate to the operator or
service engineer:
incorrect operation of the machine
faults with the machine’s hardware or software
faults on the network.
The error messages for the service engineer are a two digit number prefixed
with the letter A or E (for example: A03 or E17). The A messages indicate a
communications controller fault. Messages E07 to E12, E14 to E17 and E20
indicate a fault in the transfer of data between the scale and printer
microprocessors.

ALREADY ENTERED You are trying to enter a system number at a POS machine
when the number has already been entered, possibly by
another operator. The number can only be entered once.
ANALOGUE FAILURE Secure machines only. The software checks the accuracy
of the weighing system by switching in a known load
across the strain gauge bridge. The software then
compares the actual reading with the correct weight
reading stored in memory from calibration.
To rectify the fault:

1. Change the A/D PCB and re–calibrate. See
Sections 17 and 7.
2. If the problem persists change the transducer and
re–calibrate. See Sections 17 and 7.
s
BAD FILE FORMAT You are trying to load a file from the DCU which was set up
at an incompatible type of machine. Select the correct file
number.
BCC ERROR Indicates a problem has occurred in the transfer of data
between the scale and printer microprocessors.

1. Check the software version’s numbers are correct.
Particularly, check that the PROMX (IC10) version is the
correct one for the main core EPROMs (IC19 and IC20).
2. If the problem persists, a possible cause is a software
fault. Contact Avery Berkel head office with a full
description of the fault and a list of all software firmware
numbers.


CALIBRATION LOST The weighing constants stored in the EEPROM memory
have been corrupted. To rectify the problem either
re–calibrate the machine (See Section 7) or change the
main PCB (see Section 11). If you re–calibrate the
machine without changing the main PCB you must switch
the machine on and off a number of times to make sure the
problem does not occur again.
Note:
If the weighing system fails due to a problem with the
transducer or A/D PCB, the machine will power–up and
display either an underrange or overrange condition.
CANNOT USE TARE On a network with different capacity machines, you have
selected a PLU with stored tare which does not belong to
the machine. Select the correct PLU.
CHANGE ROLL ? You have changed from label to receipt mode or vice
versa. Check the correct type of printer roll is loaded.
CLEAR DISABLED The totals clear option is not available at your machine.
CLOSE DRAWER Displayed when the cash drawer alarm is activated. Close
drawer and turn alarm off. Only on machines configured
for Cash Drawer Detection.
COMMAND ERROR Indicates an error in the ISC communications protocol.
This can be due to a mixed network (that is: different
versions of software) or a software fault.
If the problem persists contact Avery Berkel head office

with a full description of the fault and a list of all software
firmware numbers.
COMPUTING FAULT Secure machines only. The software checks the internal
operation of the microprocessor. Indicates detection of an
internal computing fault. Change main PCB (see
Section 11).
CORRUPT PLU The PLU has developed a fault. Delete the PLU and
re–create it. Advise your local Avery Berkel service centre.
DATA LOST CNTRL1 Indicates comms controller 1 or 2 has lost data records;
probably due to a software fault.
DATA LOST CNTRL2 If the problem persists contact Avery Berkel head office
firmware numbers.
DCU DISCONNECTED You are attempting to use the DCU without it being plugged
in. Plug in the DCU and try again.
DEPT NOT ON MAP You are dumping the PLU file for a sub department which
does not have any machines. Re–select a valid
department or assign a slave to the sub department.


DISPLAY FAULT Secure machines only. The display data that is sent to the
head–up display PCB is checked. This indicates that the
data returned from the display PCB does not match the
original data sent to it.

1. Check that link LK4 on main PCB is correct for machine
type.
2. Check the display switch settings are correct.
3. Change the display PCBs and/or display loom. See
Sections NO TAG and 13.
4. If the problem persists change the main PCB. See
Section 11.
ENTER ALL ITEMS When switching a machine to local mode this message is
displayed to remind you to re–enter any uncompleted
transactions and print the receipt.

11 — Main PCB
11.1 Description
The main PCB carries all the circuitry required to scan and operate the keyboard
and displays, to perform calculations and to drive the printer. For a general
description of the function, refer to Section 2.
The main PCB carries a smaller PCB, the analogue–to–digital converter (A/D).
The A/D PCB converts the analogue signals received from the transducer and
converts it into digital form for use by the main PCB.
Electrical connectors on the main PCB are provided to connect with peripheral
devices (such as displays, printers, keyboard, cash drawer, and others). The
peripherals connected to the electrical connectors are application–specific and
some connectors will be unused in certain applications.
The main PCB has many optional features to make it suitable for a wide variety
of configurations and to provide various levels of operating power. Some of
these features are enabled by firmware (EPROM and ASIC) and some by
hardware changes (the setting of links and DIL switches). The following
information should be used for reference:
Configuration data is identified in Section 6.
PCB mounted connectors and their functions are identified in Figure 11.1
and Table 11.1.
DIL switches and their functions are identified in Figure 11.2 and
Table 11.3.
Links and their functions are identified in Figure 11.3 and Table 11.4.
Integrated circuits and their functions are identified in Figure 11.4.

12 — Displays (CX20)
12.1 Description
There are two displays used on the CX20 unit, one on the vendor side (front) of
the unit and one on the customer side (rear). The two display units are identical
but, by software control, operator–prompt data is not displayed on the customer
display.
The CX20 W has only one display, which is on the vendor side.
The display on the vendor side is supplemented by an LCD unit (refer to
Section 2).
Figure 12.1 Display – FIP Type (CX20)
Each display is a fluorescent indicator panel (FIP) manufactured as a strip–line

unit. It has 20 numeric character positions arranged in a single, horizontal line.
The characters are 12,7 mm (0.5 in) high. When a character segment is
energized, it is displayed in a bright green colour; when a character segment is
not energized, it is almost invisible.
Each display is clipped to the main PCB by two plastic display brackets. The
brackets are different for the front and rear positions. The display face is visible
through an aperture in the unit case.
On the tower mounted version the customer display is fitted inside a housing
which is mounted on two columns. The columns are fitted at the rear of the
machine.
Each display has an integral ribbon cable terminated by a flying in–line
connector at the free end. The main PCB has two electrical connectors, one for
each display.
Each display is driven by display driver circuitry on the main PCB. The display is
strobe–scanned by the same scanning source as that which scans the
keyboard.

12.2 Testing
The displays are check–scanned during boot–up. All numeric characters will
display progressively the number sequence from 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0.
This should be observed to ensure that all display segments and display drivers
are working correctly.

12.3 Servicing
WARNING

Caution

13 — Display (CX30/CX34)
13.1 Description
The CX30/CX34 machines have similar displays. Each machine has two
displays: one at the front of the machine (vendor) and one at the rear
(customer). On the CX30 both displays are mounted in a housing on top of a
double column arrangement (single column on the CX30 TK machine) fitted to
the rear of the machine. The displays in the CX34 are integral and are mounted
in the front and rear housings.
A display aspect comprises a display PCB fitted behind a translucent screen.
The screen obscures the display PCB so that only its energized characters are
visible. One display faces the customer, and the other display faces the vendor.
Both displays are identical, but operator prompt and error advice data is
suppressed from display on the customer side.
Each display comprises a PCB on which is mounted:
five fluorescent indicator panels (FIPs)
a number of LEDs (depending on unit variant)
a connector (at the rear)
three banks of DIL switches
a small number of electronic components (resistors, capacitors, and two
integrated circuits).
Figure 13.1 Display (CX30)
The LEDs indicate machine status, and legends printed on the screen adjacent
to each LED will identify these to the operator. The integrated circuits control
the configuration of the displays in accordance with the switch settings, and
translate the raw display data for use by the indicating panels. The display is
strobe–scanned by the same scanning source as that which scans the
keyboard.
The ribbon jumper cable connects between the main PCB of the unit and the
rear of the vendor display. The customer display receives power and data from
a second termination of the jumper cable supplying the vendor display: the
ribbon cable feeding the vendor display is continued through the first termination
to the second termination.

On the metric displays four of the indicator panels (top row and bottom left) have
six numeric–only characters, with each character accompanied by underline
( _ ), comma ( , ) and full point ( . ) punctuation/notation marks. The sixth
character also bears the 1/2 fraction.
Figure 13.2 Display (CX34)
Display (vendor)
On the avoir displays the upper left indicator panel has five numeric–only
characters, each accompanied by a comma/full point. The third character
includes a decimal point. The sixth (rightmost) position has an “8/8” variable
fraction display, capable of showing any x/8 or x/4 fractions. The three other
six–digit indicator panels are the same as for the metric displays.
The fifth indicator panel is a 16–character alpha–numeric display, each
character of which has 16 segments arranged in ‘boxed starburst’ fashion. Each
character is accompanied by a leading apostrophe mark ( ’ ), a comma ( , ) and
a full point ( . ).
The use of Imperial or continental numeric notation (whether a comma or full
point is used to indicate a decimal point or thousand marker) is determined by
switches, which are configured to suit the country where the machine is
purchased.

13.2 Testing
The displays are check–scanned during power–up. Initially, all segments and
the LED are energized. All characters will then display progressively the number
sequence 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0. This should be observed to ensure that
all display segments and display drivers are working correctly. This function can
also be accessed from the Test key on the keyboard (see appropriate Operators’
Handbook). The Avoir display has a 9/8 fraction character in which one
segment is not energised.
13.3 Configuration Data
Caution
Do not adjust the display PCB switch settings with the

machine powered up as this will damage the display
drivers.

14.1 Description
The keyboard is a tactile type having 69 (CX20), 125 (CX30) or 80 (CX34) key
positions. Each key position is at an intersection of the lattice. The keyboard is
mounted on the unit case at the vendor side of the unit.
The keyboard is connected to the main PCB of the unit by a flying connector.
The keyboard end of the flying connector is an acetate ribbon cable terminated
in a 24–pin male flying connector. The main PCB also has a ribbon cable,
encircled by a ferrite core (for spike suppression), terminated by a 24–pin female
flying connector. The keyboard has an earth strip which is connected to the
inside of the cover (CX20/CX30) or front housing (CX34) behind the keyboard;
from there an earth lead is connected to the base of the machine.
Pressing a key position causes two of the metal laminates to contact each other.
Keyboard operation is tactile, given by the ‘oil can’ key operation. The keyboard
is strobe–scanned electronically to detect key depression: the scanning source
is the same scanning source as that which scans the unit display.
The keyboard is self–adhesive and, if removed from the unit case, will be
damaged beyond further use. Do not attempt to operate the keys of a keyboard
which is not fitted to a unit: to do so will distort permanently the laminates of the
keyboard and make it unfit for further use.

14 — Keyboard
An operator overlay is adhered to the keyboard on which is printed function key,

numeric and blank legends. The blank legend positions can be overwritten with
wax crayon by the operator to match data programmed by the operator. A
protective plastic cover is fitted in front of the keyboard. A programming overlay,
printed with programming key data, is supplied loose. When programming is
required the programming overlay is placed in front of the keyboard, behind
protective cover.

15 — CX30 TK Machine
15.1 General
The CX30 TK machine is a customer self–service, label only machine. The
CX30 TK is based on the CX30 LS but has a large keyboard, in place of the
vendor keyboard, for customer self–service. The customer self–service
keyboard can be column or remotely mounted and each machine can have
either, or both together. The keyboard keys are supplied in two sizes, small and
large. On machines fitted with a single keyboard there is the option of 64 large
keys or any combination of small and large keys (128 maximum). On machines
with two keyboards the keyboards must have 64 large keys each.
On the remote version of the CX30 TK machine the customer self–service
keyboard is mounted on a stand and is connected to the machine externally via
a cable which is plugged into the machine’s DCU socket.
On the column mounted version of the CX30 TK the keyboard is fitted to the
front of the column. This version incorporates a taller column than the CX30
range of machines to accommodate the self–service keyboard which is mounted
on the vendor’s side. There are also two additional feet, fitted to a bracket at
the rear of the machine, to support the keyboard. The printer door has a key
operated lock to deny unauthorised access to the printer compartment.
Connection between machine and self–service keyboard is via internal looms
routed from the main PCB and DCU socket, up through the column and into the
back of the keyboard. The column mounted version of the CX30 TK is supplied
in kit form and is fitted retrospectively.
For the fitting instructions for the column mounted TK keyboard kit, see
Page xvii in the Overview section.
15.2 Mechanical Description

The keyboard comprises: rear moulding, keyboard controller PCB,
communications loom, keyboard assembly, earth lead, plastic keys and front
moulding.
The keyboard assembly comprises: a steel plate, switch PCB, 256 switches,
connecting loom (to keyboard controller PCB) and four pillars for securing the
keyboard controller PCB. The switches are soldered to the switch PCB. Each
switch fits through a cut-out in the steel plate and is secured at the other side of
the plate via an integral plastic clip. The connecting loom is fixed to the
left–hand side of switch PCB. The four pillars protrude from the rear of the
switch PCB adjacent to the connecting loom.
An earth lead clips onto the switch PCB and is connected to the rear moulding
securing screw.
The rear moulding, which is secured to the display column or stand by two
screws, houses the keyboard controller PCB and keyboard assembly.
The keyboard controller PCB is secured to the rear of the keyboard assembly by
four plastic pillars. Connections to the keyboard controller PCB are the
communications loom and the switch PCB loom.
On the remote keyboard the communications loom exits the customer
self–service keyboard through a hole in the bottom left–hand corner of the rear
moulding and is terminated in a D–type plug. The communications loom on the
column mounted keyboard exits the keyboard through the centre of the rear
moulding and enters the column; it then goes down through the column and into
the machine where it is connected to the main PCB and DCU socket.

The keyboard assembly is secured to the rear moulding by four plastic,

two–piece rivets.
The front moulding clips onto the rear moulding and is held in place by two lips
(25 mm long) at the front of the rear moulding (top and bottom outside edges).
There are two sizes of key, the full key and half key, which encompass four and
two switches respectively when fitted on the keyboard assembly. Both sizes of
key comprise a plastic base and clear plastic cover. The base and cover are
clipped together: a key legend can be inserted between them. The base is a
push fit onto the switches.
The printer door has a key–operated lock to prevent unauthorised access to the
printer compartment.
NOTE: On the column mounted version of the machine, when the DCU
socket is used the customer self–service keyboard is disabled.
15.3 Electrical Description

The keyboard controller PCB provides remote or external keyboard facilities for
the CX30 TK customer self–service keyboard.
This controller PCB will drive and scan a keyboard of up to 128 keys arranged
on a matrix of 16 drive and 8 scan lines. Communication with the host machine
is performed by a serial interface.
15.4 Keyboard Controller PCB

The keyboard controller PCB provides facility for the CX30 TK self–service
keyboard. It will drive and scan a keyboard of up to 128 keys arranged on a
matrix of 16 drive and eight scan lines. The keyboard controller communicates
with the host machine is performed by a serial interface.
15.4.1 Circuit description

The keyboard controller circuit is operated by a microprocessor, driven by a
3.684MHz crystal. The sequence of operation is controlled by the firmware
resident in the EPROM.
The drive for the target keyboard employs a 4 to 16 demultiplexer driven by the
microprocessor. Keyboard scanning is accomplished by cycling the 16 outputs
of the demultiplexer, the eight keyboard return lines are then read by the
microprocessor.
The keyboard controller communicates with its host via a 5V serial channel
employing a two wire link
The watchdog/power reset circuit provides low power detection and software
watchdog facilities. There are two power RESET circuits selected by link LK1.
15.4.2 Power Supplies

The keyboard and controller require a 5V regulated supply capable of providing
a current of 20mA maximum.

15.4.3 Links
There are four links on the keyboard controller PCB:
LK1: selects/disables power rest circuit.
LK2: connects FRAME GND to 0Vd.
LK3: selects numbers of keys – 64 large or up to 128 in any combination.
LK4: allows use of two 64–key keyboards. Used with LK3.

17 — Transducer
17.1 Description
17.1.1 Transducer Assembly CX20/CX30

On the CX20/CX30 machines the transducer is fitted centrally, in the the base of
the machine to the chassis. The CX20 W does not have an internal transducer,
it is connected to a remote weighing patform, the CX9/A702. For further details
of the CX9/A702 see Section 18.
The transducer assembly comprises a base, a transducer housing, a mounting
block and an overload stop.
The base is made of cast metal and enables the transducer to be attached to a
unit at four fixing positions. The mounting block is also made of cast metal and
has four threaded holes. Two of these holes are to attach the mounting block to
the transducer housing, the other two holes are to attach a cross assembly on
which load will be placed.
The transducer housing is machined to precision tolerances and is attached to
the base at one end by two socket–head screws. The mounting block is
attached at the other end of the transducer housing by two socket–head screws.
Any weight on the mounting block is transmitted through the transducer housing
to the base, causing the transducer housing to distort physically.
The core of the transducer housing is hollow, and several grooves are machined
on the outer surface. The grooves and hollow housing are provided so that
applied weight causes the transducer housing to distort by a large amount in a
predictable manner.
Four self–adhesive, strain pads are attached to the transducer housing around
its inner wall. Each pad is connected by wire to a circuit PCB, which partly
covers the hollow housing at one side. The other side of the hollow housing is
partly covered by a protective aluminium plate.
Figure 17.1 Transducer Assembly (CX20/CX30)

17 — Transducer
Each strain pad contains a series of fine wires which change in electrical
resistance according to the mechanical strain across them. Movement of the
transducer wall, caused by a weight being applied, will strain the pads and
cause them to change resistance. The pads form part of a Wheatstone Bridge
circuit, and any change of resistance in them causes a change in the electrical
balance of that circuit: this change is detected as an electrical measure of the
weight applied.
The strain pads, their attachment to the wall of the transducer housing and their
connecting wires are extremely delicate and must not be handled or disturbed in
any way.
17.1.2 Transducer Assembly CX34

The transducer assembly, which forms the intermediate part of the suspension
assembly, comprises a top mounting bracket, transducer housing, lower
mounting bracket and two overload stops.
Both mounting brackets are made of mild steel and have fixing holes for fitting to
the suspension assembly. Two holes in the top bracket are for securing the
connecting block and one in the lower bracket (centre) takes the connecting rod.
The top mounting bracket is fitted to the top, right–hand side of the transducer
housing with two socket screws. At the other end there is a hole, through which
a bolt passes and is screwed into the transducer housing. Adjacent to this is a
threaded hole through which is screwed a socket grub screw (adjustable).
Together these provide overload protection: an overload clearance gap between
grub screw and transducer housing is factory set. A threaded hole, right of
centre provides an earthing point (bolt and shakeproof washer).
The lower mounting bracket is fixed to the underside of the transducer housing
with two socket screws at the left–hand side. At the other end overload
protection is as for the top of the transducer housing. A threaded hole in the
underside of the bracket, centrally positioned, takes the connecting rod.
The transducer housing is machined to precision tolerances. Any weight on the
scoop, directly below the transducer, is transmitted through the cradle and lower
suspension assemblies to the transducer assembly, causing the transducer
housing to distort physically. The transducer housing is the same as that used
on the CX20/CX30 (refer to Section 17.1.1).
17.1.3 Suspension Assembly CX34

The suspension assembly supports the cradle assembly and scoop. It has three
main sections: the upper assembly, transducer assembly (refer to
Section 17.1.2) and lower assembly. The top of the suspension assembly,
which is connected to a customer fixing, supports the whole unit.
The upper assembly comprises a mounting boss, suspension hook, suspension
yoke (with gimbal) and connecting block. The mounting boss fits through a hole
in the top of the chassis and is secured to it along with a suspension hook
underneath. The mounting boss supports the chassis. The suspension hook
has a gimbal fitted in the base of its hook over which a suspension yoke rests.
The gimbal is made of white plastic and has four pieces, two narrow and two

17 — Transducer
wide. The suspension yoke is fitted to the end of a connecting block, the base
of which is connected to the left–hand end of the transducer assembly.
The lower assembly comprises a connecting rod, insulating spigot, insulating
washer and lower suspension bracket. The top of the connecting, which is
threaded at both ends, is screwed into the underside of the transducer assembly
and is secured with locking nut and washer. The bottom is fixed through a hole
in the top of the lower suspension bracket using the insulating spigot and
insulating washer, which fit over the rod above and below the hole. In the
vertical portion of the lower suspension bracket there is a hole with a small
cut-out in the bottom to take another gimbal. This gimbal takes the cradle
assembly with scoop.

17.2 Testing
The transducer cannot be tested as a separate part and must be tested as part
of the unit.
17.3 A/D PCB

The A/D PCB receives the analogue signal from the transducer when weight is
applied to it. This signal is the change in resistance detected by the
transducer’s strain gauges. The A/D PCB converts this signal to digital form and
sends it to the main PCB.

18.1 Description
The CX9/A702 Remote Weighing Platform is used in conjunction with the
CX20 W on ULMA wrapping machines. The CX9/A702 houses a transducer
and is connected to the CX20 W via a transducer cable.
Figure 18.1 CX9/A702 Remote Weighing Platform
Weighplate
Stamping plate Transducer cable

Spirit level
The basic CX9/A702 machine is built on a moulded ABS base with provision for
a panel to be fitted in each of its four sides. A rigid, one–piece ABS cover fits
over the panels and is secured to the base by four instrument head screws. A
dimpled stainless steel weight plate is provided to support the goods to be
weighed.
The base provides a housing for the transducer assembly, spirit level and
stamping plate. Four levelling feet screwed into the underside of the moulded
base provide a means of adjusting the level of the machine.
The transducer assembly is a T103 transducer with associated circuitry and
fixing brackets, top and bottom. The transducer is protected against overload by
a central stop under the weigh cell. Protection against eccentric loading is
provided by four corner stops which are an integral part of the base. Collars
placed over the corner stops reduce the clearance when a 6kg transducer is
fitted.
A plastic cross assembly, with a fitting support at each corner, fits over the
transducer. The four fitting supports protrude through holes in the moulded
plastic cover. A stainless steel weight plate fits over the cover and into inserts in
the fitting supports.
A circular spirit level fits into the base moulding and the stamping plate is
screwed in position next to it.
The four panels are identical in size, three of them are blank and may be fitted in
any position. The fourth is for the transducer termination panel.

19.1 Description
The printer described in this section is complete with unit spine and top plate.
On the CX20/CX30 the unit spine also carries two of the four corner stops,
which act as asymmetric overload stops for the cross assembly of the unit.
The printer is a self–contained unit, having a thermal print head and a print roller
which, driven by an integral 24Vdc motor, also acts as a paper feed.
The ticket printer prints receipt and report tickets on a thermal paper roll. The
paper roll is carried on a plastic spigot attached to the unit spine. Another
identical spigot is attached to the spine: this spigot guides the paper into the
printer and isolates the printer from any physical surging of the paper roll.
The printer is attached to the unit spine by two brackets. The printer is secured
to one bracket (printer bracket) at four fixing positions; this bracket is then
secured to the other bracket (spine bracket) at two fixing positions. The spine
bracket is formed as a bent tongue of the spine.
A tongue microswitch is attached to the printer case and is positioned to detect
the presence of paper in the printer feed. The microswitch includes a flying lead
terminated with a connector.
The printer has a flying lead and an electrical connector. The flying lead
connects a power supply to the printer motor. The electrical connector accepts
a ribbon cable for the supply of formatted print data from an external printer
driver.

The paper tractor mechanism consists of a rubber friction roller (print roller), and
a reduction gear train of two–stage spur gears. The print head is spring–loaded
to contact the friction roller, which then grips the paper. The firm contact of the
print head against the friction roller, with the paper trapped between them, also
enables thermal printing.
The print head prints by thermal means and does not require any maintenance.
The print head must not be disassembled or cleaned. The print head itself is
made of precision–manufactured materials and must not be scratched or
scored: avoid any contact with metal objects (such as a screwdriver blade).
19.2 Test and Adjustment

The printer is scanned at power–up and will print a test ticket provided the
keyswitch is in supervisor mode position. The printer cannot be tested when not
installed in a unit.
To adjust the current drawn by the stepper motor, which is controlled by a
potentiometer on the main PCB (refer to Section 11), proceed as follows:
1 Using a DVM, measure operating voltage across connections of

two–pin connector SK1 on main PCB when printer is operating.
Voltage should be 2V (Axiom receipt printer). If necessary, adjust
voltage by adjusting RV3 on main PCB.
19.3 Servicing
Caution
The print head is made of precision–manufactured

materials and must not be scratched or scored. Avoid
any contact with metal objects (such as a screwdriver
blade).

20.1 Description
The printer described in this section is complete with unit spine and top plate.
On the CX20/CX30 the unit spine also carries two of the four corner stops,
which act as asymmetric overload stops for the cross assembly of the unit: these
are adjusted as part of the unit calibration (refer to Section 7).
The printer is a versatile unit, being able to print thermal paper tickets and
self–adhesive, thermal labels in a variety of sizes. It uses a thermal print head,
two electric motors, and a photodetector sensor mechanism. A plastic cassette
provides a housing for a ticket roll.
The cassette is interchangeable, so that an operator may carry a number of
cassettes each loaded with different types of ticket roll. For example, one might
carry a roll of self–adhesive labels and another might carry continuous paper.
This enables an operator to change the printing function quickly and easily,
without any need to unload the existing paper roll from the cassette.

The cassette carries the loaded ticket roll on a fixed drum. The drum has
splines at its upper edge and is sized to allow the paper roll to rotate with a
small amount of friction when pulled by the tractor mechanism. The cassette
has an anvil at the dispensing edge to encourage self–adhesive labels to detach
easily from their backing paper.
The cassette also has a loose–fitted take–up roller. The take–up roller
comprises a plastic moulding which is trapped against the side of the cassette
by a metal keep plate, which is held in position by three countersunk, Posidrive
screws. The outer side of the take–up roller is hollow and is splined internally to
accept a drive from a motor unit. The inner side of the take–up roller comprises
three functional elements:
the core (effectively solid)
two outer tongues (effectively flexible)
a rotary wedge, trapped on a spigot of the core by a clamp washer.
The rotary wedge has two flats on its periphery. When these flats are aligned
with the flat, inner faces of the tongues, they are not in contact and the tongues
are relaxed. When the rounded faces of the rotary wedge are aligned with the
tongues, they are in contact and the tongues are forced outwards by a small
amount, so enlarging the effective diameter of the roller. The backing paper is
wound around the roller in its enlarged size. When the paper roll is exhausted,
the rotary wedge is rotated to align its flats with the tongues and the effective
diameter of the roller is made smaller: this enables the backing paper to be
removed easily from the take–up roller.
The motor which drives the take–up roller is a 24V, 3–pole, can type. It drives
through an integral reduction gearbox mounted on a plate supported from the
printer spine by three stand–off pillars and two stand–off spacers. The output
from the gearbox is transmitted through a rotary shaft on which is mounted a
plastic drive cone having external splines. The drive cone interfaces with the
hollow, splined core of the take–up roller. The output shaft of the gearbox has a
flat machined on to its surface and a threaded hole set axially in the end of the
shaft. The drive cone is attached to the threaded hole of the shaft by a screw
and shakeproof washer in the hollow bore of the cone: the cone can therefore
be changed easily when installed in the unit. The electrical supply to the motor
is connected to a loom interconnection and then to the wiring harness of the
printer, which is connected to PL7 on the main PCB.
The paper tractor mechanism consists of a rubber friction roller, a drive belt
arrangement, and a stepper motor. The friction roller is carried between a hole
in the printer spine and a hole in a bracket at its free end. The bracket is also
attached to the printer spine by two stand–off pillars. The spine end of the roller
is carried in a ball bearing, and the bracket end of the roller is carried in a
phosphor bronze bush. The spine–end of the friction roller carries a splined
drive gear, attached to the shaft of the friction roller by a socket–head, recessed,
grub screw. The extended shaft of the friction roller has a flat machined on to a
surface below the grub screw.
The drive is transmitted to the drive gear of the friction roller by a flexible,
toothed drive belt made of textile–reinforced, rubberized plastic. This is driven
by the stepper motor. The overall gear ratio of the arrangement is approximately
5:1 step–down.

The stepper motor is a two–coil unit and is mounted on the printer spine by two
stand–off pillars. The motor is supplied with power by two integral pairs of wires
which connect directly to the wiring harness of the printer. The drive from the
motor is transmitted through a rotary output shaft, on which is mounted a
splined, drive gear. The splined drive gear is secured in position by a
socket–headed, recessed, grub screw.
The print head is trapped between the printer spine and a bracket attached to
the spine by three stand–off pillars. A spring–loaded catch (operated by lever
outside bracket) also is carried between the spine and the bracket and, when
applied (by pushing lever fully down), brings the print head into contact with the
rubber drive roller, where the paper is carried. When in contact with the drive
roller, there is sufficient paper contact to allow printing and, also, the entrapment
of the paper between the roller and the print head enables sufficient friction grip
for the roller to draw the paper off the paper roll.
The print head prints by thermal means and has a life expectancy of 50
kilometres (30 miles) of paper. It is driven by power supplies and data received
from an external source through a ribbon cable. Its assembly makes use of
holes positioned in its carrying equipment (the bracket and printer spine), and it
cannot function nor be installed otherwise. Other than removal for maintenance
or exchange, the print head must not be further disassembled. The print head
itself is made of precision–manufactured materials and must not be scratched or
scored: avoid any contact with metal objects (such as a screwdriver blade).
A photodetector is attached to a bracket on the printer spine by a screw and a
shakeproof and plain washer. The bracket is attached to the printer spine by a
nut and shakeproof washer on its stud and also utilises the photodetector
attachment. The photodetector consists of an optical transmitter and receiver:
the transmitter transmits light directly to the receiver. Paper, from the paper roll,
is passed through a gap between the transmitter and receiver. Under the
control of software on the main PCB, the photodetector is able to detect when
there is translucent paper (backing roll) and ticket in the gap, and when
translucent paper only is in the gap. By this method, the software is able to
interpret the position and length of each label as it passes through the
photodetector, to ensure correct print positioning.
The photodetector is connected by two pairs of wires to a flying lead. Its
position is adjustable: its unsecured end is cradled in a bracket secured to the
spine, and the bracket can be rotated to reposition the photodetector through a
limited range of movement.
20.2 Test and Adjustment

The printer is scanned at power–up and will print a test ticket (or labels)
provided the keyswitch is switched to supervisor mode. The printer cannot be
tested when not installed in a unit.
To adjust the current drawn by the stepper motor, which is controlled by a
potentiometer on the main PCB (refer to Section 11), proceed as follows:
1 Using a DVM, measure operating voltage across connections of

two–pin connector SK1 on main PCB when printer is operating.
Voltage should be 3.7V (Rohm label and receipt printer). If necessary,
adjust voltage by adjusting RV3 on main PCB.

possible.
NOTE: The ISC map, held in a slave, will revert to ’stand alone’ map when
the slave scale is disconnected from a system.
The CX20/CX30/CX34 machines can be included in a network. Each unit is

capable of being networked as either a Master or a Slave unit. The Master
supplies the current source for the system (unless a communications controller
is fitted – see Section 22). All units communicate with the network through
optical isolators.

All units on the network can transmit certain data, such as transaction details,
totals, and operator–identifying codes; this data is acquired and processed by
the Master unit. If there is a large amount of network traffic being controlled by
the Master unit, the operation of the Master unit is slowed because of the
processor work load: the communications controller (comms PCB) option can
help with this (refer to Section NO TAG22). The Master unit is the only unit
enabled to transmit PLU data updates to all machines on the network.

21 — Networking
Nomination of Master or Slave identity is by way of a wire link in the external

plug which connects the unit to the network: pins 1–6 = Master; pins 3–7 =
Slave (see Figure 21.1) . The use of an external link means that changes are
not required to any unit to make it work as a Master. If the Master fails, another
unit can be plugged in to its network connection and this then becomes the
Master.
All network machines must have their chassis connected to the cable screen
(see Figure 21.2).

22 — Communications Controller
22.1 Description
IMPORTANT:
On systems fitted with a communications controller (comms
PCB), if the master machine fails it is essential that the
slaves/satellites are placed in to local mode and NOT powered
down and made stand alone.
NOTE 1: The communications controller is sometimes referred to as the data

processing engine (DPE).
NOTE 2: On systems using communications controllers, when a slave is

disconnected it will reset the service system configuration on power
up to show no communications controller fitted.
The communications controller (comms PCB) is an optional extra. When fitted,

it supplies the current source for the system and controls the ISC and
Host/Master communications interface, storing and totalising all transactions
occurring on the system.
The comms PCB utilises an 8MHz microprocessor with an 8 or 16 bit external
data bus. It can be fitted to one or more scales and communicates via three
bi–directional serial channels:
a) The Avery Berkel interscale communications multidrop network (ISC)
current loop. (The ISC channel is always present on comms PCB.)
b) An RS232 channel. This allows point–to–point Host/Master channel or
interface.
c) A Host master current loop network comprising up to 32 sub–masters.
NOTE: Options b) and c) are mutually exclusive.
The comms PCB is powered by the host machine’s power supply. The power
monitor and ISC signals are on a single connector from the main PCB. The
comms PCB provides its own battery back–up supply for its data RAM.
The following power supplies enter the comms PCB via PL1:
Voltage Current
+12VI 50mA maximum
–12VI 50mA maximum
0VI
+10VI (Unregulated) 750mA maximum
–10VI (Unregulated) 300mA maximum
The comms PCB has a 7805, 5V regulator (VR2) to provide +5VD for the main
logic supply and a 7805 regulator (VR1) which provides +5VI for use in the
RS232 interface.

22.1.1 C918 external comms controller unit

The comms controller PCB can be housed in a C918 external comms controller
unit.
22.2 Network Connections
IMPORTANT (1):
The network’s cable screen MUST be connected to the chassis
of each network machine.
IMPORTANT (2):
The link on the MASTER unit, between pins 1 and 6, is not used
on networks fitted with communications controllers. See
Figure 22.1.
Refer to Section 21 Networking.
The connections for MASTER and SLAVE units on networks using a
communications controller are detailed in Figure 22.1.

22.2.1 Dual comms controller operation
IMPORTANT:
Dual controller operation is only available on networks with
Phase 1.3 software release and above.
Networks with dual comms controller operation have two comms controller
PCBs. One PCB operates as in a normal, single comms controller network.
The other operates as a back up by taking over from it if it fails.
The dual comms controller PCBs are modified versions of the single comms
controller PCBs and can be identified by the following:

link between IC24 pin 5 and D16
CHANGE REFERENCE label with 0 & 1 highlighted – this shows that
modification has been done
The part numbers of the PCBs available for dual controller operation are:
71014–395 Mod.5 and above.
71014–512 Mod.4 and above.
NOTE 1: The following PCBs, when suitably modified, can be used for dual
controller operation prior to the above PCBs becoming available:
71014–395 Mods.2, 3 and 4
71014–512 Mods.2 and 3.
NOTE 2: Comms controller PCBs with Mod.1 copperwork can not be modified
for dual controller operation.

23 — RS232 Interface PCB (CX20 W)
23.1 General
The RS232 interface PCB provides an interface with a wide range of wrapping
machines. It supplies RS232 ASCII serial data for the ULMA 200 Series which
enables selection of an internal wrapper program or initialising the wrapper start
cycle. The RS232 interface PCB also provides a bi–directional interface which
allows communication with an external printer for an Italian ADF type machine.
The RS232 interface PCB has the following features:
filtering for the remote load cell
label taken detection
’Wrapper Start’ output
RS232 serial interface for communication with the ULMA UL200 Series of
machines
all ’outside world’ signals are electrically isolated by relay or optocouplers
analogue input filter
RTS and CTS provide the optional controls of ’Wrapper Ready’ and ’Scale
in Control’.

TB2: to remote transducer serial channel ULMA or

Label taken detection is provided by a reflective photocell, connected to the

RS232 interface PCB, which detects when a label has not been taken.
Operation of the wrapper is then inhibited.
Wrapper start output is provided by a relay contact closure which initiates a
wrapper start. (Only for old style wrapper systems, for example, ULMA Chikit.)

An RS232 serial interface transmits data .at 2400 Baud to the ULMA UL200
Series of machines.
23.2 Circuit Description

The RS232 interface PCB provides an RS232 serial channel by automatically
multiplexing the DCU channel.
23.2.1 RS232 interface

The DCU has a hard–wire link inside the D–type shell. The main PCB drives
one end of the link with a multiplexed scan pulse and reads the other via a
buffer to establish when the DCU is connected.
The ’switched’ DCU channel on the RS232 interface PCB also checks for the
presence of this scan pulse to disable the RS232 channel when the DCU is
connected. When present, the scan pulse is used to trigger a re–triggerable
monostable (IC3). This produces a high signal that then disables tri–state
buffers (IC4 A–B) disconnecting the RS232 Rxd and RTS signals.
The default condition when no external device is connected to the DCU port is
such that all four RS232 signals are enabled. These signals are opto–isolated
using 6N139 opto–couplers and then converted to RS232 levels via a 75154
(IC10) and a 75150 (IC11).
23.2.2 Wrapper control signal interface

The RS232 interface PCB has two versions of hardware handshaking control to
make it more flexible for future alternative applications. Both control interface
versions use the same control lines and are, therefore, mutually exclusive.
Control interface version 1 is implemented as one standard RS232 RTS output
signal and one standard CTS input signal if at some stage in the future they are
required. For this version 0R resistors R40, R42 and R43 are fitted and R39,
R41 and R44 omitted from the RS232 interface PCB.
Control interface version 2 is implemented specifically for the ULMA machine
and consists of one input signal (Wrapper Ready) and one output signal (Scale
In Control). Voltage levels 0V and +24V are supplied from the ULMA wrapping
machine. For this version 0R resistors R39, R41 and R44 are fitted and R40,
R42 and R43 omitted from the RS232 interface PCB.
NOTE: The standard RS232 interface PCB assembly will be built to

version 2, namely ”Wrapper Ready” and ”Scale In Control” signals.
23.2.3 Wrapper ready signal (control interface version 2 only)

This signal is an input to the scale and is used by the scale’s software to
determine when the wrapper is switched on and setup in the correct operating
mode. The scale’s software will detect 0V on DUART CTS channel B input pin
when the wrapper is ready for use.

23.2.4 Scale in control signal (control interface version 2

only)
This signal is an output from the scale to the wrapping machine to show the
scale is in wrapping mode and the wrapping machine needs to take control of
the wrapping system. The scale software writes a 0 to the DUART RTS channel
B pin to assert ”Scale In Control” true.
To drive these isolated signals the interface circuit makes use of the ULMA +24V
to act as the current source.
23.2.5 Analogue interface

As the weighing platform is remote, an LC filter is included on the RS232
interface PCB that filters external noise.
23.2.6 ”Wrapper Start” relay control

For the older style of wrapper the RS232 interface is not used, instead a relay
closure initiates the wrap cycle. The main PCB cash drawer output is used to
close the relay. To do this the microprocessor on the main PCB checks for a
steady weight and also label removed. When this condition is true the scale
signals the printer microprocessor to start the wrapper. The printer
microprocessor then switches on a transistor to close the relay on the RS232
interface PCB.
The relay current is approximately 10mA, the contact closure time is 100ms.
The LED D2 (on the interface PCB) flashes momentarily when the wrapper
signal is fired.
23.2.7 Label taken detection

A reflective photocell is used to determine whether the previous label has been
removed. An LM393 comparator is used to generate a logic output from the
phototransistor collector signal. As the RS232 interface PCB has to work with
no changes to the main PCB the only main PCB input is in a switch matrix. This
means that a ’voltage free’ contact closure is needed, hence relay RL2 is used.
LED D3 gives a visible indication of what state the photocell is in, LED
illuminated means a label is present, in this state RL2 will be closed.

23.2.8 ULMA 200 series wrapper protocol

The ULMA 200 Series machine enables a remote device to select any of 99
preset wrapper programs via a program reference number transmitted serially.
The program number has film dimensions and tension parameters stored in the
wrapper.
As the ULMA RS232 channel is receive only the scale has to transmit a small
range of ASCII control strings:
String ’S’ starts a wrapper cycle.
String ’P, Digit low, Digit high’ selects a wrapper program (for example,
’P, 1, 4’ selects program number 41).

23.2.9 Serial interface devices

There are now a large number of devices that can that be connected to channel
B of the 82530 DUART on the main PCB. In a typical application not all devices
will be required. There are a number of invalid combinations of devices. In
addition to the ULMA wrapper the possible serial peripheral devices are:
DCU
Plugs into front of machine, detect link present within DCU. This device can be
used with the ULMA interface PCB, the RS232 interface PCB is temporarily
disabled.
Remote programming keyboard
This plugs into the front of the machine, detect link present within keyboard.
This device can be used with the ULMA interface PCB, the RS232 interface
PCB is temporarily disabled.
Remote operators keyboard
Plugs into front of machine, no detect link. This device cannot be used with the
ULMA interface PCB.
TK keyboard (internal or external versions)
The internal version plugs into a TK connector within the machine, this
connector is effectively in parallel with the DCU socket. The TK keyboard has
no detect link. This device cannot be used with the ULMA interface PCB.
External printer
This plugs into the new RS232 connector. If an ULMA wrapper is required with
an external printer, the ULMA now plugs into another RS232 channel built into
the remote printer.
23.3 Servicing
23.3.1 Replacing the RS232 interface PCB

To remove the RS232 PCB, proceed as follows:
use of the DCU).
4 Remove main PCB, with display PCB and rear plate still attached (refer
to Section 11).
5 Disconnect all electrical connections from the RS232 interface PCB.
6 Remove the six screws with integral shakeproof washers securing the
RS232 interface PCB to the pillars in the base. If necessary, unscrew
and remove the plastic pillar protruding through the hole in the RS232
interface PCB. Lift out RS232 PCB.
7 Fit the RS232 interface PCB in the reverse order.

25.2 Label Formatting
25.2.1 Calculating the offset

To calculate the offset value a (in co–ordinates) use the following formula:
Equation (1) a = c – (d x b)
Where: a = offset value (co–ordinate)
b = width of label (mm)
c = total number of dots across print head
d = print head dots per millimetre
As there are a total of 160 dots across the print head and there are three dots
per millimetre, we can simplify the equation:
Equation (2) a = 160 – 3b
Example:
You are creating a new label format for a 38 mm wide label. The offset
value is determined as follows:
Using Equation (2), where b equals 38:
a = 160 – 3b
a = 160 – (3 x 38)
a = 160 – 114
a = 46
Therefore, offset value is 046 co–ordinates.

25 — Appendices
25.2.2 Field data tables

It is recommended that, for each new label format, Tables 25.13 and 25.14 be
photocopied, filled in and kept, giving a copy to the customer, for record
purposes.

B–8 Addendum B
B.2.2 Printer attached options added

See Table B.1: Machine Configuration, Digit 12 – Printer Attached.
Options 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been added to cater for the improved ‘polling‘ of the
connected printers. This ‘polling’ informs the scale of the type of printers
attached so that it can use the correct scale/printer communications protocol.
From Phase 1.3 onwards, CX/Advantage scales have been able to
communicate with up to three printers, one internal and two external. During
this time printer types have changed and, therefore, so has their scale/printer
communications protocol. To ensure scale/printer type compatibility scales have
to know the type of each printer attached.
Previously the scale has found out the printer type by interrogating them only
when the power was switched on – if a printer had not been switched on the
scale would display an appropriate error message and would stop functioning.
Now, if a printer has not responded when the scale is switched on, the scale
carries on working and this printer is ‘polled’ until it switched on. A message is
displayed if the operator attempts to use an off–line printer.
The ’polling’, which is approximately once every second, has no apparent
detrimental affect on the functioning of the scale and ceases when all the
printers are on–line.
B.2.3 Multimedia interface

See Table B.1: Machine Configuration, Digit 13 – Multimedia Interface.
This option (UK only) is for a multimedia PC.
B.2.4 ADF wrapper

See Table B.1: Machine Configuration, Digit 17 – Wrapper.
An applied direct to film (ADF) wrapper can be connected to the scale.
Note the differences in digits 17 and 18 in Phase 1.5 and 1.5.3.
Addendum B B–9
B.3 Test report

The test report now shows both comms controllers. The comms controller ‘in
charge’ is printed first.
B.4 Nutritional labels

When printing labels and nutritional labels together, wrapper signals are only
sent with the second of these labels to be printed.
NOTE: When printing only on the external printer the standard label is
printed. To overcome this, change the PLU so that nutritional labels
are printed first.
Nutritional labels can be printed on an ADF printer.

The message “LABEL NOT TAKEN” disappears automatically after a nutritional
label is removed.
B.5 ADF printer

Continuous Paper Mode is no longer permitted and is overridden with Separate
Label Mode.
When selecting a PLU for an ADF printer the scale will always display
“REMOVE WEIGHT” if a weight has already been placed on the weighplate.
B.6 Printers
If Printer Select soft key is disabled, the scale uses as its default printer the first
configured printer from, in order, the integral printer, external printer 1 or external
printer 2.
On selecting a PLU with the Printer Select soft key disabled the scale will use
the printer programmed in the PLU.
The scale’s communications timeout for high resolution printers has been
increased to allow the printer’s microprocessor time to cope with complex labels.
To compensate for this the number of timeouts has been decreased.
B.7 Wrappers
The scale now transmits the LAST PACK signal (X) immediately and without
delay whenever the LAST PACK key is pressed. This is to avoid time delays
when printing a label which have caused the LAST PACK key to timeout
resulting in the X signal not being sent. This has caused problems with ULMA
wrappers.
B–10 Addendum B
B.8 Comms PCB – Link LK7

The jumper fitted to link LK7 must always be set in position 2–3, as shown in
Figure 22.3. If you are installing a new machine with a comms PCB fitted or are
fitting a new comms PCB, the jumper may be set in position 1–2 which is
incorrect. This must be changed to position 2–3 before fitting the comms PCB
in the machine or switching the machine on.

B.9 Main PCB
NOTE: The new main PCB has not been developed as part of Phase 1.5
but for improved EMC performance.
The new 71014–949 main PCB is a six–layer version of the 71014–812. For
servicing purposes all details are the same as for the 71014–812, therefore the
only change to the service manual is the new part number in the Parts List.

B.9.1 Increased memory, Phase 1.5.3

Phase 1.5.3 DOES NOT require a new mainboard/RAM chips. It supports
1.5Mb of RAM which can be fitted as follows:
At machines containing 71014–812 or 71014–949 mainboard
remove the current RAMs
fit 3 new 4Mbit RAMs (part number IED/KM684000ALP)
change LK12 to position 2–3
At machines containing 71014–814 or 71014–816 the board must be replaced
because the RAM chips are soldered to the board.
fit replacement board (part number 71014–994)
change LK20 to position 2–3
B.10 Barcode Scanner

See Table B.1: Machine Configuration, Digit 20 – Barcode Scanner
This option must be enabled if the scale has an attached scanner.
Create barcode formats before creating PLUs.
For more information efer to chapter 3 in Issue 3 of the User Instructions, Part 1.
B.11 Euro currency
B.11.1 Euro label

See Table B.1: Machine Configuration, Digit 19 – Euro Label
This option must be enabled if euro price information is to be printed on labels.
You must also configure label formats with second price fields.
B–12 Addendum B
B.11.2 Setting the rate

Select the function SET RATE in service mode. Enter the appropriate data.
The euro currency symbol is number 35.
The SET RATE function is reserved exclusively for the euro rate and is currency
reference 5. Users can only program rates 1 to 4 in Phase 1.5.3 and should not
program the euro rate in SYSTEM X, CURRENCY.
B.11.3 Programming euro price information

The euro price information can be printed in the following format on a receipt:
each transaction price and the total price printed in euro at the end of the
receipt
total price only printed in euro after the local currency total price
the message DUPLICATE FOR GUIDANCE ONLY can be printed or
suppressed
Euro printing must be enabled for labels.
The printed euro information is programmed in PRINTER SETUP, EURO
PRINTING.
B.11.4 Assigning euro keys

Assign currency 5 to a soft key. This is the euro payment key.
Assign the EURO PRINT key to a soft key. This enables operators to print euro
price information on request when euro printing is disabled on the receipt.
B.11.5 Euro conversion

When the national currency ceases to be legal tender you will need to change
all prices to the euro equivalent.
Enter the official rate in SET RATE. Then select the function EURO
CONVERSION. The message SURE ? Y/N appears. Only press Y if you are
absolutely certain that you have entered the official rate and the euro is now
legal tender as this function converts the entire product file.
***IMPORTANT***
Ensure you are absolutely certain that you wish to convert prices. If you
make a mistake all prices in the entire product file will be wrong.
