Network Computing Devices Label Printing Scale LSQ-40L - Manual (Page 3)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read this section carefully. The following has some important safeguards to
prevent damage or failure of your scale.
CLEANING THE SCALE:
1). You may use stainless cleaner or mild soap to wipe down the metal areas of the
scale. The keyboards and display should be wiped down with a damp cloth only.
While the keyboards and display are reasonably sealed, do not allow liquids to get
between the plastic surfaces and the metal.
2). Use only the supplied cleaning kit to clean the print head. Do not use sharp
objects around the print head or the pinch roller below it. Damaging these parts will
cause your label printouts to be unreadable or you may even cause internal damage
to the scale.
3). Do not immerse the power supply in water. This will cause possible electrical
shock and failure of the adapter. Unplug adapter from power and wipe down with a
damp cloth. Do not spray the adapter with cleaning fluids.
4). Keep the print cartridge area clean of any food or other debris. If contaminants
are picked up by the labels and brought across the print head, it can cause labels to
print poorly. This can also damage the print head.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE SCALE:
If you are going to program your scale using a personal computer, here are a few
things you will need.
1). You will need to purchase a network adapter (hub) and two (2) category 5 cables.
These can be purchased from electronics or department stores that sell computer
equipment. A network adapter allows you to plug your computer and scale(s) into
one hub. NOTE: You cannot plug the scale directly into your computer. Being your
scale is actually a computer; all computers that communicate with each other
require a network adapter to control data flow between machines.
