IM Series

IM Series Counter Service Scales Overview General Description The IM series provides a range of counter scales to cover the different requirements of fresh food counters, self-service, pre-pack areas and point of sale areas for supermarkets and speciality stores. These terminals may be used in stand-alone mode or linked together to form networks. In addition, the different departments can be linked together and connected to a back office computer, to form store-wide, centrally managed networks. The scales can operate in a number of different modes, printing individual labels for each item or combining the shoppers’ items together and printing a single receipt.

Hardware Processor/Memory All IM series scales use an ARM, 32-bit processor. All user-programmable data is stored in reprogrammable ‘Flash’ memory. The number of PLU’s supported is dependant on the average text size, number of totals used etc. Typically, there will be sufficient memory for at least 6000 PLUs The following table clearly lists the average text size in relation to the number of PLU’s available. The table shows PLU capacity with two totals types per PLU and eight totals types per PLU, according to different average text size. Up to 12 totals types could be stored per PLU (sales, counter, pre-pack, override, return and promotions). Each total type can be stored across two reporting periods. Other factors which affect PLU memory size include: Receipt memory Transaction per receipt memory Diagnostic log size Traceability record memory Traceability totals memory There is an additional, separate flash memory which is used for the application software and factory default data. This ensures PLU memory capacity remains unaffected by software updates.

Displays All IM series customer and vendor displays are blue LED backlit, LCD dot-matrix 192 x 64dot resolution displays. The top left-hand corner of the display is reserved to display the model number. Metrological data is displayed in the box next to this. Different character sets can be supported for various countries, including Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Arabic. Displays can be adjusted for different lighting and viewing angles, via a contrast adjustment in management mode. Display annunciators emphasise the current mode of operation, including: fix/pre-pack, net/tare, price base and zero. These modes are dependant on the market. The unit price field allows up to four digits before a thousand separator is displayed.

Printers The IM series printer is a heavy duty label and receipt printer, with a single motor driving both the paper feed and paper rewind systems. Receipt tally roll, die cut labels or continuous sticky paper can be used. The paper roll is loaded onto the spindle and the paper passed through the large aperture at the rear of the open print mechanism. The single large aperture through which the paper is fed at the rear of the print mechanism means paper changes are quick and simple and makes it virtually impossible to feed the paper through the printer incorrectly. To ensure the print head can be easily cleaned, the print head is raised well clear of the lower body when in the open position ensuring good access. This easy maintenance feature encourages cleaning to be carried out and the life of the print head optimised. The printer also auto-rewinds before printin commences, ensuring a minimum of dead space on the label or receipt.

Keyboards The IM series keyboards fitted to the scale are hard-wearing, touch sensitive, wipe clean keyboards with raised preprogrammed and digit keys. The raised keys give a near tactile feel when used and give the operator feedback that their finger is located correctly on the key. The IM series keyboard is available in two options, a 66 key variant for all versions where the display and keyboard are mounted together, and an 84 key variant for the IM 202 head up display version. The raised section of the keyboard has a number of preprogrammed functions assigned to it (eg: 0-9, Clear, Test, Enter, Total / Print, Add, Tare, etc). Each variant also has a user-programmable area of 42 (IM100, 300, 400, 500) and 60 (IM202) keys. The user programmable areas comprise of hard-wearing, tearresistant transparent pockets under which a user-defined insert may be slotted into place. Four tough, flexible plastic inserts are supplied with the scale. They can be written on with a non-permanent felt marker which can be erased if a change to the user-programmed key is made in the future. The reverse side of the insert contains all keys required when programming the scale.

Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Arabic character sets are delivered, one on each insert. The insert is retained at the lower edge by two ridges in the plastic moulding. Self-service keyboards for IM 300

The IM 300 is delivered with an 80 key self-service keyboard. This is mounted on a metal baseplate that sits beneath the scale. An optional second keyboard can also be ordered providing a total of 160 keys. This mounts to the same baseplate. The keyboard itself consists of full travel keys, with a transparent keyboard pocket that accepts a keyboard insert. Keys may be grouped in any combination of fours, twos or singles, providing full flexibility for larger keys where required.

Weighing Capacities The IM series scales are available in the following standard capacities : For IM 100, 202, 300, 400: 30 lb x 0.01 lb 50 lb x 0.01 lb 6 kg AVR 12 kg x 2 g 15 kg AVR 30 kg x 5 g For IM 500 hanging scale: 15 kg x 5 g 30 lb x 0.01lb

Power Supply The IM scale has an external plug-mounted power supply rated at 100V/60Hz to 240V/50Hz. This connects to the underside of the scale. The cable can be held in a clip at the rear of the underside to provide strain relief on the DC connector. The use of the external power supply makes the scale a low voltage device, and reduces power consumption. All variants are supplied with interchangeable plug heads to suit the vast majority of socket types worldwide. Additionally, the plug head can be removed and a flying lead attached to the IEC C7 power connection of the power supply. This is useful if the power cable is of insufficient length or there is insufficient space at the power socket for the power supply.

Scale Interfaces USB Ports All models feature two USB ports, with USB V.1.1 being supported. On IM 100, 202, 300 and 400 models, one port is located beneath the scale, one is located in the printer compartment. Typically, the port located beneath the scale may be used for scanner input. The port located in the printer compartment is typically used for data transfer with a USB memory stick.


On the IM500 one USB port is located beneath the connector/WiFi cowl on the top of the machine and one is located beneath the connector/WiFi cowl on the operator side of the machine. Cash Drawer Interface All models feature an RJ12 connector for use with a 12 or 24V cash drawer.

Inter-scale Network and Host Computer Interfaces A maximum of 10 scales may be linked together in a single network. All communications are based on standard 10/100-BaseT Ethernet networking. Ethernet cabling standard IEEE802.3 defines cable type, length and equipment. TCP/IP is the ‘language’ or protocol, by which all devices communicate. Within a single network, scales are configured in a Client/Server configuration, with all scales sharing the same Ethernet ‘port address’. Any scale can be configured as the Server and all scales contain the full PLU and data file. As all scales are connected directly into an Ethernet hub, no wiring short-circuit can bring down the scale network, adding significantly to network resilience.

Each scale may even be connected to a local ‘Department HUB’. Where connection to the office computer is required, each HUB may then be connected to the store’s Ethernet’ HUB in the wiring closet. This HUB provides the connection to the back-store management PC via Ethernet cabling. Alternatively, full Category 5 structured cabling may be employed, with every scale being directly connected to a single hub system within the store. A back-up server, providing automatic server switching and subsequent automated recovery of the network, off line-sales and synchronisation of PLU files, should the main server go down, can be assigned. Full ethernet connection via gateways and subnet is supported. Within a single store-wide Ethernet system, multiple scale networks can be configured, with each having a unique port address. In this scenario more than a hundred IM series scales can linked into the store’s Ethernet hub, with each Server talking independently to its own network of client scales.

IM Series

RF Communications IM series scales are compatible with most common Spread Spectrum Radio Frequency systems. This enables the use of RF for communication between the PC located in the management office and the counter scales in the store. Multiple network configurations are possible using either only RF or combinations of RF and direct cabling communications. For further information, see the IM series RF Communications Data specification sheet.

System Resilience and Networking In both LAN and RF networks, the back-up server mirrors the main server and automatically takes control if the main server fails. When the communication with the server is restored, transactions are automatically recollected from local mode and the totals are regenerated. Configurable Network Error Alarm An audible alarm warning of network errors can be disabled in sales mode. A flashing message appears on the vendor display when the scale is experiencing communication problems.

The IM series range also allows host names to be specified for a particular scale for use in conjunction with DHCP and DNS. The host name to be programmed can be up to 100 characters. The TCP/IP protocol enables simple remote diagnostic tools from head office, such as the ‘Ping’ feature.

IM Series

Software This section defines version 7 software operation of the IM series system scales.

Operating Modes Label Mode IM series scales operating in label mode are generally used for single item, weighed or non-weighed transactions.

In label mode, the system can be set to Print on Request (press the Print or Operator keys) or Immediate (as soon as the weight is steady). Self-Service Mode IM series scales can be set into self-service mode where they are intended for the general public to weigh and label their own produce. When in selfservice mode, IM series scales prompt the customer to ‘select item’ from the keyboard, before placing the produce on the scale and pressing the print key to print the label.

By setting the scale to ‘print immediate’, the label can automatically be issued after the produce is on the scale, without having to press the print key. Pre-pack Pre-pack mode enables a number of consecutive labels to be printed for each selected item. For this reason, the selected item - along with any tare details, are retained until cleared.

In general, an item is selected in the standard way and the details are automatically ‘fixed’ - with a label being printed each time the weight changes and then returns to a steady weight again.

6


To cancel that item, press the clear key until the Enter PLU message is displayed. Direct entry to Pre-pack mode, by pressing the Fix key, can be enabled in system configuration. Label Formats Label formats can be pre-set for a scale or may be set for each individual item.

Up to 12 label formats can be set up, with standard default formats being pre-set into each IM series on delivery. Every label format can be modified in Service mode, or using label format editors in MX050 (the M series support tool) or MX4X0 (retailer management package). Up to 50 fields of information can be printed on each label format. Legends such as those for the current date, expiry date, price per kg and total price values may be configured to print automatically. Sales messages may be set against a PLU and printed on labels, within sales message fields. Label lengths can be from 160 mm to as short as 40 mm and may be printed in 0, 90 or 180° orientation. Printing can be set for individual thermal labels or to print on continuous, sticky paper (enabling short and long labels to be printed for different products). Receipt Mode Receipt mode enables the operator to ‘float’ up and down a counter from one scale to another, producing one receipt for the complete set of transactions.

Up to 20 operators may be ‘live’ on the network at any one time, with name and number printing on the receipts. Each item in the scale is assigned to that operator and finally printed by pressing the Total key. Transaction details printed on the receipt include; store header details and optional logo, operator details, date / time / terminal / receipt number, number of items, total value and any tax elements. A barcode may be printed at the bottom of each receipt. This barcode can contain receipt-specific information such as total value, receipt number or customer number. It can be scanned at the point of sale in a system network to instantly recall transactions, thereby saving time and increasing customer throughput. Individual line details, including description, weight or quantity, unit price and price to pay are also printed. ‘Single Item’ mode may be set up which automatically prints a full receipt after each item transaction is completed. The void function enables the complete sale or any individual line to be cancelled and the voided transactions are identified on receipt print outs. By including the Department or Group in the receipt barcode, sales may be limited to items from the same set only (department interlock feature). Sales/management functions are protected via operator PIN codes to ensure that only authorised operators have access to those functions.


Receipts can be printed from the printer using thermal receipt (non-sticky) paper or on sticky receipt paper with backing paper retained. All transactions may be stored, collected and individual receipts may be reprinted. See audit section for details. Alternatively, each scale may be set up to always print a duplicate receipt immediately after every original receipt. ECR or EPOS Mode IM series scales may be configured into ECR or EPOS mode.

This is similar to the ‘Receipt’ mode of operation, but in addition to those functions, the sale must be finalised through one of the payment keys being placed on the keyboard. In this mode, products may be key entered, selected via a preset key or simply scanned in via a barcode reader. The type of payment is always printed on the receipt. The scanner may be used for scanning dry goods (such as tinned items), previously packed items from the scales (prepacked items) or receipt barcodes produced at separate counters. Barcodes that do not scan may be keyed in by first pressing the # key. Operators may be ‘floating’ in a network in ECR or EPOS mode, or set into Checkout mode, whereby an individual operator is logged on to a specific terminal, and may be prevented from ‘floating’ to other scales on the network.

ECR / EPOS / checkout modes are configured under Machine mode menus. Up to 5 flexible payment keys may be created and assigned to the keyboard. Payment types include cash, cheque, credit card, local account or coupon. The first five entries include defaults for common payment types. Parameters include payment description, payment type, min/max values, security level, change allowed, open drawer etc. Foreign currencies and common cash denominations (eg: £20 note) may be included in this payment table. In checkout mode, the operator PIN codes do not have to be entered to use security functions, as it is assumed that the logged on operator is using the scale. A scale used in this mode will typically also be connected to a cash drawer. Float

A float transaction allows money to be put into the drawer for the purpose of giving change. Pick Up A pick up transaction allows the declaration of cash taken out of the drawer for security reasons during trading, prior to final cashing up. Paid Out A paid out transaction allows miscellaneous cash payments to be made using the cash from the drawer.

IM Series

PLU Search Mode By assigning the PLU search key to the keyboard, it is possible to search for PLUs from the scale’s memory. Searches may be performed numerically or alpha-numerically.

System Data ‘System data’ is that which is managed and held for the complete IM series network. This data can be created or edited at any scale (or within MX050, MX400, etc)), with the data then copied to all scales on that network. Product The following item maintenance functions are available: change price, create/edit PLU, delete PLU and customise the PLU data options.

For each product, the operator can manage the following data elements in create/edit PLU : Department number, PLU number, Label format, display text of up to 30 characters, PLU text 1 and 2, each of 1500 characters, tax ref. 1 and 2, group number, unit price,price base, promotion price, weight quantity at which this takes affect, tare ref. or proportional tare %, date 1 type and value, date 2 type and value, sales message 1 ref., sales message 2 ref., logo, barcode enable/disable and barcode format ref., barcode/article number, traceability on or off, traceability scheme, nutri-panel, and location on pre-set keyboard. The hand-held scanner may be used to create or edit PLU’s in manager mode.

IM Series

To maximise efficiency of PLU maintenance, the operator may configure the actual fields displayed to the user during PLU maintenance, disabling those which are not required (e.g: remove label fields if the scale is only to be used in receipt operation). Label and receipt text can be programmed in font sizes ranging from 1 to 8 and from A to L. See IM series Label Printing Formats Specification for font designs. Promotions A PLU may be programmed with one of the following types of promotion:

Price Promotion: Applicable to both weighed and non-weighed products and allows a 2nd price to be automatically applied when either a certain weight or number of items of a product are sold. Weight Free Promotion: Applies to weighed products only and allows a configurable amount of weight to be sold free of charge, when the total weight of the product is above configurable amount of weight. Items Free Promotion: Applies to non-weighed products only and allows a configurable number of items to be sold free of charge, when the total number of items is above a configurable number of items. Discount Promotion: Applicable to both weighed and non-weighed products and allows a discount value to be automatically applied to the transaction value when a certain weight or number of items are sold.

8


Frequent Shopper Promotion: Applicable to both weighed and non-weighed products and allows a product to be programmed with a second fixed price which is then printed on the label in addition to the original price. Customers who are part of a store’s frequent shopper program, are charged at the frequent shopper price at the point of sale. The barcode printed on the label containing a frequent shopper promotional price will contain the original standard price. When a PLU with a promotion is selected, the product description on the display will flash to indicate this to the vendor. A promotional message advising of the actual promotion can also be set against each PLU for display and printing purposes. All of the above promotions except the frequent shopper promotion can be used in label and receipt modes. Frequent shopper can only be used in label mode. Nutritional Information

Departments

You can create up to 10 departments each having a 20 character description. All products are allocated to a specific department. Messages Up to 99 scrolling or flashing messages may be programmed, of up to 200 characters each. You can assign each scale to display one of these messages.

Up to 20 sales messages may be programmed, and these can be called-in to print on labels, where a field has been set up for this purpose. Tables The following data tables can be programmed. Tax

3 tax rates can be programmed, with up to two tax rates being assigned to PLUs. Tares

Up to 10 tare weights can be programmed which can be assigned to PLUs for use as preset tare values or assigned to keys for recall in normal operating mode.

Each PLU can be provided with nutritional information if required. A list of nutrients needs to be programmed first, A tare interlock can be used to against which, values are then ensure a label is only printed if a programmed in the PLU tare has been selected. records.

Payment tables includes ‘local cash’, ‘foreign cash’, ‘credit card’, ‘account’, ‘coupon’ or ‘general’. A selection of payment types are available by scrolling with the arrow keys, entry is accepted by pressing the enter key.

The M series range is able to support the following barcode types:

Discount Tables

A maximum of 9 discount rates are programmable. A maximum of 16 displayed characters may be entered for describing the discount rate. The discount value may be disabled or entered as a percentage or value. The security level is applied for discount protection when operating the scale in sales mode. Add Label

You can assign one of the standard label formats to be printed as the add label format, or this can be set to print in a receipt style. Logos

Up to 5 different logos may be stored and used. Logos are loaded into M series scales using MX050. A logo report can be printed showing all logos stored in the scale. The scale contains the statutory safe handling and nutritional data logos required by law in the United States of America by default. Logos can be used for a variety of applications including printing on labels or receipts as store logos, and for promotional purposes.

EAN 13 EAN 13 Scandinavian. EAN 8 - mainly used in Europe UPC 13 UPC12 EAN 128 RSS expanded RSS stacked RSS 14 RSS limited The following data may be encoded in the barcode: article number, price, weight, trace code, operator number or department number, group and transaction number. SSCC data is also supported. Weighing and traceability type application identifiers are supported by EAN 128 and RSS barcode formats. Barcodes may be programmed to print on receipts, labels, talons or combinations thereof.

Header Message (for Receipts Only) The message printed at the top of receipts can be programmed at any scale and is transmitted to all scales in a system, ensuring all machines print identical headers.

The header message has up to 200 characters of text and may be printed multi-line, across the full width of the receipt. A logo can also be used in addition to, or instead of, the header message and is printed at the top of the receipt. Trailer Message (for Receipts Only) The trailer message printed at the bottom of receipts is programmed at any scale and is transmitted to all scales in a system, ensuring all machines print identical footers.

The trailer message has up to 200 characters of text and may be printed multi-line, across the full width of the receipt.

The Add label barcode format is that which is programmed for that machine’s receipt.

A logo can also be used in addition to, or instead of, the trailer message and is printed at the bottom of the receipt.

Each PLU may be programmed to use one of 10 configurable barcode formats.

Re-Pricing

Operators

The multi operator system enables a max of 20 live operators in a network. ‘Floating operator’ system enables each operator to work on any scale in a system at any time.

The re-pricing mode is a non-PLU associated method of printing labels, with pricing and barcode information which are adhered over a product’s original price and barcode information. The re-price function requires setting up with default label information, barcode format, whether packs will be weighed and if totals are required to be stored or not.

IM Series

Traceability

IM series scales feature comprehensive options for all types of traceability requirements. Up to three different traceability schemes may be individually programmed, allowing associated products to be tracked through their supply chains. Scheme options include the ability to print user-defined trace information, manual or scannable methods of data input and the ability to reproduce ‘traceability passports’. All schemes can be used in either label or receipt modes, allowing counter or pre-pack service operation. Security Levels Programming Security Levels for Management Functions The system has 3 security levels: 0 - no security up to 2 - highest level.

Functions assigned to security level of 0 will have no security ie: they can be accessed by any user. Each operator can be given security level 0 - 3. Every exceptional sales function (e.g. Void, Refund) can be set to require PIN authentication: level 0 - 3. If set > 0 for a selected function, system prompts for the Operator number then the PIN code. If the Operator security level is greater or equal to the function level, the transaction will proceed, but, if the operator security level is less than the function level, the scale prompts for a supervisor. All management functions operate on similar security levels.

10


Security Levels for Operator Functions Operators are programmed with security levels between 0 - 3. Operators are allocated personal PIN codes that they can change on a regular basis, via a PIN key which may be assigned to the keyboard. Programming Security Levels for Sales Functions Security levels of sales functions are set up by scrolling through the sales functions in management mode and allocating them with security levels 0 - 3. These functions are initially set up with default levels. Security Log The security log is a report which shows functions that have been carried out above a user-entered security level. For example, a report printed for security level eight would print each level eight and nine function was carried out, with the date, time and the name of the operator who performed the function.

System Functions Audit Mode Audit mode is either enabled or disabled in manager mode.

Audit mode contains functions like filtering, server buffer, client buffer, Audit Report and erase Audit list. The filtering option allows the operator to select which printing modes transactions should be stored, i.e. Label only, Receipt only or Label and Receipt transactions.

The server buffer is configurable to store receipt or label transactions in a linear or circular format. Linear can only hold a determined number of transactions and advises the operator when full. A circular buffer will continuously write over transactions on a first in, first out basis when the memory becomes full. A transaction buffer size can be changed in Service mode, on installation. Receipt Weight Mode

If required, the total weight of each receipts’ weighed transactions can be printed at the bottom of the receipt. Last Subtotal

When enabled, last subtotal allows operators to recall the value and number of transactions from the last receipt they transacted, to the display. Reprinting of the receipt is possible by pressing the ‘Total’ key. Note that this receipt is marked as a duplicate copy. Pre-Pack PLU Lock Dependent upon the setting of the pre-pack PLU lock, in pre-pack mode, PLUs may need to be cleared before a different PLU can be called via the pre-set keyboard. If they are required to be cleared, set as enabled. If they are not to cleared, set as disabled. Security Log Level Any functions with a security level equal to or higher than the value entered here, will be printed in the security log.

IM Series


Summary Receipts For networked receipt printing machines to work in ‘customer’,‘system’ or ‘receipt scan’ mode, summary receipts is required to be set to ‘subtotal’. This results in subtotal receipts being produced, which can be recalled using the customer number printed on the receipt, at the PoS. Customer Number This can be set to be manually entered or system generated. The customer number is only printed on summary receipts.

Carcass (lists an audit trail of the last 100 carcasses used, showing the total weight packed, the value and the last date on which that carcass was used) Single (X/Z) report periods, enable daily plus weekly reporting. Totals Batching All of the above totals reports from any period may be batched together to allow up to nine different reports to be printed at the press of a button. Up to five batches may be programmed, which are then assigned to a key on the keyboard.

Audit Reports Audit reports print out transactions which have been totalised and printed on the label or receipt during sales transactions. On networks operating in customer or system mode this is the PoS receipt. Transactions are printed either from the last clearing date or from the date/time specified by the operator. The operator may clear the audit transactions at the end of the printout. The operator may choose between a full or summary report. Audit reports may be configured to be printed out as a summary or in detail, selected by time, receipt number or filter for transaction type. The summary report shows the total value and number of transactions for each receipt and the grand totals.

PC Based Systems Software Management Packages Brief overview of the PC applications available for support or retailer use.

MX100 MX100 has been specifically designed to provide a transparent interface between the retailers’ primary Store Management module (generally the EPoS system), and the mixture of scales in the various departments within the store. MX100 is designed to run on the same computer as the management module, but “in the background”. This solution allows the retailer to control the prices and product range in both the EPoS and the scale systems from the Head Office.

MX100 also provides for the collection and return of scale sales reports, as well as enabling a detailed audit trail of transactions. How does MX100 work - The MX100 is installed on the local store management system. - MX100 processes the incoming product ‘change’ file and validates its integrity. - The validated file is communicated to the scales via the driver.

MX400 MX400 is a dedicated scale management system, providing functions not generally found in retail business management software (such as extended text editing and label design). It provides a safe and secure method of maintaining scale data and recovering trading information. Used for the following applications: - In store scale Management system - Support for WA and WS wrappers, IM, M and MP series - Management of product data - Configuration of scales - Historical Reporting on totals
