turn the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator power off. Power up to return to the command line.
F8 Erase last data set
This command allows you to remove the last data set from the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator=s memory,
either to make room for new data, or simply because the old data is no longer needed.

to a computer, before you erase it from memory.
You can only delete the last data set or all of the data sets. If any data sets are to be retained, upload to your
computer, and after deleting all data sets use the download command to re-install the required files in the
Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator.
Shift+F8 Erase all data sets
This command allows you to remove all the data sets in memory.
Follow the steps in F8 above to erase all data sets.
F9 Displays Printer Speed
This command allows you to select the baud rates for the printer communication port.

the current baud rate, press the Backspace bar to erase the current rate i.e. 1200 and then type in required
rate, followed by AEnter@.

The Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will remember the last entered baud rate when it is turned off, for a
period of at least seven days. If the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator internal memory becomes invalid then the
baud rate for both the printer and the computer ports will default to 9600 baud.
