Display Layout

A system line is reserved at the top to show system messages, messages sent
remotely from a PLC, and any asynchronous errors.
The middle portion of the display is reserved for the weight display and/or SmartTrac
display. Random data entry is shown in the bottom of this area.
The bottom of the display is reserved for showing the graphic labels (icons) for the
softkeys. Display positions for up to five softkey icons are provided.
To the right of the softkey icon area space is reserved for a MORE UP ( ) or a MORE
DOWN ( ) indicator. If present, these indicate additional softkey selections are
available by pressing either the UP or DOWN navigation keys. A total of 15
softkeys, presented in three sets of five, are programmable for the home position
depending upon the weighing options and terminal functions enabled. The softkey
setup and key mapping capabilities of the terminal determine the positioning of the
softkeys and locations where they display.

Front Panel Keys

Three dedicated scale function keys are located to the right of the display. These
provide the interface to zero or tare the scale and to initiate a print.
The terminal's 12-key numeric keypad is used to enter data and commands. The
numeric keys are located on the upper-right side of the terminal front panel.
Five navigation keys are located below the three scale function keys. These keys
enable the operator to navigate through setup options in the menu tree and within
setup and application screens.
