Serial labeling devices: common questions

Eleven symptoms an operator meets on a serial labeling device, and what to check first for each one.

  • Check if the weight is showing up (last line in the LCD) when PLU code for an item is entered.

  • Note that for pieces items, the weight will not show up on the display.

  • Make sure the printer is not in an error state and test the feed button on the printer.

Labels are being printed after some delay

  • Make sure the weight is stable, and no external inputs are affecting the weight.

  • Ensure the weighing scale is in raw mode (check weighing scale configuration).

  • Please try updating the printer firmware. Ask support@iotready.com for the firmware update guide.
