1. Item Code Storage Code numbers allow you to store information for the parts that are counted most frequently This eliminates the need for re entering data for each of these parts during part count Up to 200 item code numbers can be programmed in the DC 190 counting scale with IMS software the number of item codes is unlimited The procedures for storing the unit weight tare weight quantity part number part name setpoints and lot number with an item code are described below You can enter all of this information for each item code or only the data pertinent to your application For example if you only want to store only the unit and tare weights you can bypass Steps 5 through 13 and go to Step 14 Program Unit Weight Tare Weight Quantity Part Number Part Name Setpoints and Lot Number 1 Press MODE key to enter program mode The MODE annunciator will light the WEIGHT display will read ProG and the QUANTITY display will read C XX XX represents the number of item codes stored in the DC 190 memory Enter the item code number up to 32 digits then press the CODE key All displays will show zeros If you want the item to be alphanumeric then you will need to press the decimal key to enter the characters using the Teraoka Code see Section 10 8 on page 58 After entering all of the characters press the CODE key to store the item code NOTE If the QUANTITY display shows CLEAr the code number is already stored in memory2.
