, the following will display in order:
• LED will light all segments at full brightness as a display test.
• Display brightness will change to the setting determined in the Display
Menu.
• Software version number will display.
• The MSI-4260 is ready for use.
2.2 Zero
Sets the Zero reading of the Scale. Use the
ZERO
key to take out small deviations in
zero when the scale is unloaded. (See Section 2.3 for zeroing (Taring) package or
pallet weights)

Note
The weight reading must be stable within the motion window for the zero
function to work.
The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc).
The backup memory in the MSI-4260 stores the zero reading, and can
restore it even if the power fails.
Rules for Use:
• Works in GROSS mode or NET mode. Zeroing while in Net mode will zero
the gross weight causing the display to show the negative Tare value.
• The scale must be stable within the Motion window. The scale will not zero
if the stabilizer annunciator is off. The Scale will “remember” that it has a
zero request for 2 seconds. If motion ceases within the motion window in
that time, the scale will zero.
• The scale will accept a zero setting over the full Range of the scale (NTEP
and other Legal-for-trade models may have a limited zero range). Zero
settings above 4% of full scale will subtract from the overall capacity of the
scale. 
For example if you zero out 100 lb on a 1000 lb scale the overall capacity of
the scale will reduce to 900 lb, plus the allowed over-range amount.
