IM Series
Counter Service Scales
Overview
General Description
The IM series provides a range
of counter scales to cover the
different requirements of fresh
food counters, self-service,
pre-pack areas and point of sale
areas for supermarkets and
speciality stores.
These terminals may be used
in stand-alone mode or linked
together to form networks.
In addition, the different
departments can be linked
together and connected to a
back office computer, to form
store-wide, centrally managed
networks.
The scales can operate in a
number of different modes,
printing individual labels for
each item or combining the
shoppers items together and
printing a single receipt.

Hardware
Processor/Memory
All IM series scales use an ARM,
32-bit processor.
All user-programmable data
is stored in reprogrammable
Flash memory. The number of
PLUs supported is dependant
on the average text size, number
of totals used etc. Typically,
there will be sufficient memory
for at least 6000 PLUs
The following table clearly lists
the average text size in relation
to the number of PLUs available.
The table shows PLU capacity
with two totals types per PLU
and eight totals types per PLU,
according to different average
text size. Up to 12 totals types
could be stored per PLU (sales,
counter, pre-pack, override,
return and promotions). Each
total type can be stored across
two reporting periods.
Other factors which affect PLU
memory size include:
Receipt memory
Transaction per receipt memory
Diagnostic log size
Traceability record memory
Traceability totals memory
There is an additional, separate
flash memory which is used for
the application software and
factory default data. This ensures
PLU memory capacity remains
unaffected by software updates.

backlit, LCD dot-matrix 192 x
64dot resolution displays.
The top left-hand corner of the
display is reserved to display
the model number. Metrological
data is displayed in the box next
to this.
Different character sets can be
supported for various countries,
including Latin, Greek, Cyrillic
and Arabic.
Displays can be adjusted for
different lighting and viewing
angles, via a contrast adjustment
in management mode.
Display annunciators emphasise
the current mode of operation,
including: fix/pre-pack, net/tare,
price base and zero. These
modes are dependant on
the market.
The unit price field allows up
to four digits before a thousand

Printers
The IM series printer is a heavy
duty label and receipt printer,
with a single motor driving both
the paper feed and paper rewind
systems. Receipt tally roll, die
cut labels or continuous sticky
paper can be used.
The paper roll is loaded onto
the spindle and the paper
passed through the large
aperture at the rear of the open
print mechanism. The single
large aperture through which the
paper is fed at the rear of the
print mechanism means paper
changes are quick and simple
and makes it virtually impossible
to feed the paper through the
printer incorrectly.
To ensure the print head can be
easily cleaned, the print head is
raised well clear of the lower
body when in the open position
ensuring good access. This easy
maintenance feature encourages
cleaning to be carried out and the
life of the print head optimised.
The printer also auto-rewinds
before printin commences,
ensuring a minimum of dead
space on the label or receipt.

Keyboards
The IM series keyboards fitted
to the scale are hard-wearing,
touch sensitive, wipe clean
keyboards with raised preprogrammed and digit keys.
The raised keys give a near
tactile feel when used and give
the operator feedback that their
finger is located correctly on
the key.
The IM series keyboard is
available in two options, a 66
key variant for all versions where
the display and keyboard are
mounted together, and an 84
key variant for the IM 202 head
up display version.
The raised section of the
keyboard has a number of preprogrammed functions assigned
to it (eg: 0-9, Clear, Test, Enter,
Total / Print, Add, Tare, etc).
Each variant also has a
user-programmable area of 42
(IM100, 300, 400, 500) and 60
(IM202) keys.
The user programmable areas
comprise of hard-wearing, tearresistant transparent pockets
under which a user-defined
insert may be slotted into place.
Four tough, flexible plastic
inserts are supplied with the
scale. They can be written on
with a non-permanent felt
marker which can be erased if a
change to the user-programmed
key is made in the future. The
reverse side of the insert
contains all keys required when
programming the scale.

Self-service keyboards for
IM 300
The IM 300 is delivered with an
80 key self-service keyboard.
This is mounted on a metal
baseplate that sits beneath the
scale. An optional second
keyboard can also be ordered
providing a total of 160 keys.
This mounts to the same
baseplate.
The keyboard itself consists
of full travel keys, with a
transparent keyboard pocket
that accepts a keyboard insert.
Keys may be grouped in any
combination of fours, twos or
singles, providing full flexibility
for larger keys where required.

Power Supply
The IM scale has an external
plug-mounted power supply
rated at 100V/60Hz to
240V/50Hz. This connects to
the underside of the scale. The
cable can be held in a clip at the
rear of the underside to provide
strain relief on the DC connector.
The use of the external power
supply makes the scale a low
voltage device, and reduces
power consumption.
All variants are supplied with
interchangeable plug heads to
suit the vast majority of socket
types worldwide. Additionally,
the plug head can be removed
and a flying lead attached to the
IEC C7 power connection of the
power supply. This is useful if
the power cable is of insufficient
length or there is insufficient
space at the power socket for
the power supply.

Scale Interfaces
USB Ports
All models feature two USB
ports, with USB V.1.1 being
supported. On IM 100, 202, 300
and 400 models, one port is
located beneath the scale, one
is located in the printer
compartment. Typically, the port
located beneath the scale may
be used for scanner input.
The port located in the printer
compartment is typically used
for data transfer with a USB
memory stick.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

On the IM500 one USB port

is located beneath the
connector/WiFi cowl on the
top of the machine and one
is located beneath the
connector/WiFi cowl on the
operator side of the machine.
Cash Drawer Interface
All models feature an RJ12
connector for use with a 12
or 24V cash drawer.

Inter-scale Network
and Host Computer
Interfaces
A maximum of 10 scales may
be linked together in a single
network.
All communications are based
on standard 10/100-BaseT
Ethernet networking. Ethernet
cabling standard IEEE802.3
defines cable type, length and
equipment.
TCP/IP is the language or
protocol, by which all devices
communicate.
Within a single network, scales
are configured in a Client/Server
configuration, with all scales
sharing the same Ethernet port
address.
Any scale can be configured as
the Server and all scales contain
the full PLU and data file.
As all scales are connected
directly into an Ethernet hub,
no wiring short-circuit can bring
down the scale network, adding
significantly to network
resilience.

Each scale may even be

connected to a local
Department HUB. Where
connection to the office
computer is required, each HUB
may then be connected to the
stores Ethernet HUB in the
wiring closet.
This HUB provides the
connection to the back-store
management PC via Ethernet
cabling.
Alternatively, full Category 5
structured cabling may be
employed, with every scale
being directly connected to
a single hub system within
the store.
A back-up server, providing
automatic server switching and
subsequent automated recovery
of the network, off line-sales
and synchronisation of PLU
files, should the main server go
down, can be assigned. Full
ethernet connection via
gateways and subnet is
supported.
Within a single store-wide
Ethernet system, multiple scale
networks can be configured,
with each having a unique port
address.
In this scenario more than a
hundred IM series scales can
linked into the stores Ethernet
hub, with each Server talking
independently to its own
network of client scales.

IM Series

RF Communications
IM series scales are compatible
with most common Spread
Spectrum Radio Frequency
systems.
This enables the use of RF for
communication between the
PC located in the management
office and the counter scales
in the store.
Multiple network configurations
are possible using either only
RF or combinations of RF and
direct cabling communications.
For further information, see the
IM series RF Communications
Data specification sheet.

System Resilience
and Networking
In both LAN and RF networks,
the back-up server mirrors the
main server and automatically
takes control if the main server
fails. When the communication
with the server is restored,
transactions are automatically
recollected from local mode and
the totals are regenerated.
Configurable Network Error
Alarm An audible alarm warning
of network errors can be
disabled in sales mode.
A flashing message appears
on the vendor display when
the scale is experiencing
communication problems.

The IM series range also allows

host names to be specified for
a particular scale for use in
conjunction with DHCP and
DNS. The host name to be
programmed can be up to 100
characters.
The TCP/IP protocol enables
simple remote diagnostic tools
from head office, such as the
Ping feature.

IM Series

Software
This section defines version 7
software operation of the IM
series system scales.

Operating Modes
Label Mode
IM series scales operating in
label mode are generally used
for single item, weighed or
non-weighed transactions.
In label mode, the system can
be set to Print on Request
(press the Print or Operator
keys) or Immediate (as soon
as the weight is steady).
Self-Service Mode
IM series scales can be set into
self-service mode where they
are intended for the general
public to weigh and label their
own produce. When in selfservice mode, IM series scales
prompt the customer to select
item from the keyboard, before
placing the produce on the scale
and pressing the print key to
print the label.
By setting the scale to print
immediate, the label can
automatically be issued after the
produce is on the scale, without
having to press the print key.
Pre-pack
Pre-pack mode enables a
number of consecutive labels to
be printed for each selected
item. For this reason, the
selected item - along with any
tare details, are retained until
cleared.
In general, an item is selected in
the standard way and the details
are automatically fixed - with a
label being printed each time the
weight changes and then returns
to a steady weight again.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

To cancel that item, press the

clear key until the Enter PLU
message is displayed.
Direct entry to Pre-pack mode,
by pressing the Fix key, can be
enabled in system configuration.
Label Formats
Label formats can be pre-set for
a scale or may be set for each
individual item.
Up to 12 label formats can be
set up, with standard default
formats being pre-set into each
IM series on delivery. Every
label format can be modified in
Service mode, or using label
format editors in MX050 (the M
series support tool) or MX4X0
(retailer management package).
Up to 50 fields of information
can be printed on each label
format.
Legends such as those for the
current date, expiry date, price
per kg and total price values
may be configured to print
automatically.
Sales messages may be set
against a PLU and printed on
labels, within sales message
fields.
Label lengths can be from 160
mm to as short as 40 mm and
may be printed in 0, 90 or 180
orientation.
Printing can be set for individual
thermal labels or to print on
continuous, sticky paper
(enabling short and long labels
to be printed for different
products).
Receipt Mode
Receipt mode enables the
operator to float up and down
a counter from one scale to
another, producing one receipt
for the complete set of
transactions.

Up to 20 operators may be live

on the network at any one time,
with name and number printing
on the receipts.
Each item in the scale is
assigned to that operator and
finally printed by pressing the
Total key.
Transaction details printed on
the receipt include; store header
details and optional logo,
operator details, date / time /
terminal / receipt number,
number of items, total value
and any tax elements.
A barcode may be printed at
the bottom of each receipt.
This barcode can contain
receipt-specific information
such as total value, receipt
number or customer number.
It can be scanned at the point
of sale in a system network to
instantly recall transactions,
thereby saving time and
increasing customer throughput.
Individual line details, including
description, weight or quantity,
unit price and price to pay are
also printed.
Single Item mode may be set
up which automatically prints
a full receipt after each item
transaction is completed.
The void function enables the
complete sale or any individual
line to be cancelled and the
voided transactions are
identified on receipt print outs.
By including the Department
or Group in the receipt barcode,
sales may be limited to items
from the same set only
(department interlock feature).
Sales/management functions
are protected via operator PIN
codes to ensure that only
authorised operators have
access to those functions.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

Receipts can be printed from

the printer using thermal receipt
(non-sticky) paper or on sticky
receipt paper with backing
paper retained.
All transactions may be stored,
collected and individual receipts
may be reprinted. See audit
section for details.
Alternatively, each scale may
be set up to always print a
duplicate receipt immediately
after every original receipt.
ECR or EPOS Mode
IM series scales may be
configured into ECR or EPOS
mode.
This is similar to the Receipt
mode of operation, but in
addition to those functions, the
sale must be finalised through
one of the payment keys being
placed on the keyboard.
In this mode, products may be
key entered, selected via a
preset key or simply scanned in
via a barcode reader. The type
of payment is always printed
on the receipt.
The scanner may be used for
scanning dry goods (such as
tinned items), previously packed
items from the scales (prepacked items) or receipt
barcodes produced at separate
counters.
Barcodes that do not scan may
be keyed in by first pressing the
# key.
Operators may be floating in a
network in ECR or EPOS mode,
or set into Checkout mode,
whereby an individual operator
is logged on to a specific
terminal, and may be prevented
from floating to other scales on
the network.

ECR / EPOS / checkout modes

are configured under Machine
mode menus.
Up to 5 flexible payment keys
may be created and assigned to
the keyboard.
Payment types include cash,
cheque, credit card, local
account or coupon. The first five
entries include defaults for
common payment types.
Parameters include payment
description, payment type,
min/max values, security level,
change allowed, open drawer
etc. Foreign currencies and
common cash denominations
(eg: 20 note) may be included
in this payment table.
In checkout mode, the operator
PIN codes do not have to be
entered to use security
functions, as it is assumed that
the logged on operator is using
the scale.
A scale used in this mode will
typically also be connected to a
cash drawer.
Float
A float transaction allows money
to be put into the drawer for the
purpose of giving change.
Pick Up
A pick up transaction allows the
declaration of cash taken out of
the drawer for security reasons
during trading, prior to final
cashing up.
Paid Out
A paid out transaction allows
miscellaneous cash payments to
be made using the cash from
the drawer.

IM Series
PLU Search Mode
By assigning the PLU search
key to the keyboard, it is
possible to search for PLUs
from the scales memory.
Searches may be performed
numerically or alpha-numerically.

System Data
System data is that which is
managed and held for the
complete IM series network.
This data can be created or
edited at any scale (or within
MX050, MX400, etc)), with the
data then copied to all scales
on that network.
Product
The following item maintenance
functions are available: change
price, create/edit PLU, delete
PLU and customise the PLU
data options.
For each product, the operator
can manage the following data
elements in create/edit PLU :
Department number, PLU
number, Label format, display
text of up to 30 characters, PLU
text 1 and 2, each of 1500
characters, tax ref. 1 and 2,
group number, unit price,price
base, promotion price, weight
quantity at which this takes
affect, tare ref. or proportional
tare %, date 1 type and value,
date 2 type and value, sales
message 1 ref., sales message
2 ref., logo, barcode
enable/disable and barcode
format ref., barcode/article
number, traceability on or off,
traceability scheme, nutri-panel,
and location on pre-set
keyboard.
The hand-held scanner may be
used to create or edit PLUs in
manager mode.

IM Series
To maximise efficiency of PLU
maintenance, the operator may
configure the actual fields
displayed to the user during
PLU maintenance, disabling
those which are not required
(e.g: remove label fields if the
scale is only to be used in
receipt operation).
Label and receipt text can be
programmed in font sizes
ranging from 1 to 8 and from
A to L.
See IM series Label Printing
Formats Specification for font
designs.
Promotions
A PLU may be programmed with
one of the following types of
promotion:
Price Promotion: Applicable to
both weighed and non-weighed
products and allows a 2nd price
to be automatically applied
when either a certain weight or
number of items of a product
are sold.
Weight Free Promotion:
Applies to weighed products
only and allows a configurable
amount of weight to be sold free
of charge, when the total weight
of the product is above
configurable amount of weight.
Items Free Promotion: Applies
to non-weighed products only
and allows a configurable
number of items to be sold
free of charge, when the total
number of items is above a
configurable number of items.
Discount Promotion:
Applicable to both weighed
and non-weighed products
and allows a discount value to
be automatically applied to the
transaction value when a certain
weight or number of items
are sold.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

Frequent Shopper Promotion:

Applicable to both weighed
and non-weighed products
and allows a product to be
programmed with a second
fixed price which is then
printed on the label in addition
to the original price. Customers
who are part of a stores
frequent shopper program, are
charged at the frequent shopper
price at the point of sale. The
barcode printed on the label
containing a frequent shopper
promotional price will contain
the original standard price.
When a PLU with a promotion
is selected, the product
description on the display
will flash to indicate this to
the vendor.
A promotional message advising
of the actual promotion can also
be set against each PLU for
display and printing purposes.
All of the above promotions
except the frequent shopper
promotion can be used in label
and receipt modes. Frequent
shopper can only be used in
label mode.
Nutritional Information
Each PLU can be provided
with nutritional information if
required. A list of nutrients
needs to be programmed first,
against which, values are then
programmed in the PLU
records. Nutrient information
can be programmed to print
either on the same product
label, or on a separate label.
As well as being able to print
individual nutrient values per
product, the standard measure
(normally 100 g) values and RDA
values can also be printed.

Departments
You can create up to 10
departments each having a 20
character description.
All products are allocated to a
specific department.
Messages
Up to 99 scrolling or flashing
messages may be programmed,
of up to 200 characters each.
You can assign each scale to
display one of these messages.
Up to 20 sales messages may
be programmed, and these can
be called-in to print on labels,
where a field has been set up for
this purpose.
Tables
The following data tables can
be programmed.
Tax
3 tax rates can be programmed,
with up to two tax rates being
assigned to PLUs.
Tares
Up to 10 tare weights can be
programmed which can be
assigned to PLUs for use as
preset tare values or assigned
to keys for recall in normal
operating mode.
A tare interlock can be used to
ensure a label is only printed if a
tare has been selected.
Tares may be configured as selfcancelling (one-shot) or fixed.
Additionally, semi-selfcancelling, cumulative,
accelerating or proportional
tares may be programmed.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

Payment Tables

value may be disabled or
entered as a percentage or
value. The security level is
applied for discount protection
when operating the scale in
sales mode.
Add Label
You can assign one of the
standard label formats to be
printed as the add label format,
or this can be set to print in a
receipt style.
Logos
Up to 5 different logos may be
stored and used. Logos are
loaded into M series scales
using MX050. A logo report can
be printed showing all logos
stored in the scale. The scale
contains the statutory safe
handling and nutritional data
logos required by law in the
United States of America by
default.

(for Receipts Only)
The message printed at the top
of receipts can be programmed
at any scale and is transmitted
to all scales in a system,
ensuring all machines print
identical headers.
The header message has up to
200 characters of text and may
be printed multi-line, across the
full width of the receipt.
A logo can also be used in
addition to, or instead of, the
header message and is printed
at the top of the receipt.
Trailer Message
(for Receipts Only)
The trailer message printed
at the bottom of receipts is
programmed at any scale and
is transmitted to all scales in a
system, ensuring all machines
print identical footers.
The trailer message has up to

Re-Pricing
The re-pricing mode is a
non-PLU associated method of
printing labels, with pricing and
barcode information which are
adhered over a products
original price and barcode
information. The re-price
function requires setting up
with default label information,
barcode format, whether packs
will be weighed and if totals are
required to be stored or not.

IM Series

Traceability
IM series scales feature
comprehensive options for
all types of traceability
requirements. Up to three
different traceability schemes
may be individually
programmed, allowing
associated products to be
tracked through their supply
chains. Scheme options include
the ability to print user-defined
trace information, manual or
scannable methods of data
input and the ability to
reproduce traceability
passports. All schemes can be
used in either label or receipt
modes, allowing counter or
pre-pack service operation.
Security Levels
Programming Security Levels
for Management Functions
The system has 3 security
levels: 0 - no security up to
2 - highest level.
Functions assigned to security
level of 0 will have no security
ie: they can be accessed by
any user.
Each operator can be given
security level 0 - 3. Every
exceptional sales function (e.g.
Void, Refund) can be set to
require PIN authentication: level
0 - 3. If set > 0 for a selected
function, system prompts for
the Operator number then the
PIN code.
If the Operator security level is
greater or equal to the function
level, the transaction will
proceed, but, if the operator
security level is less than the
function level, the scale prompts
for a supervisor.
All management functions
operate on similar security
levels.

Avery Weigh- Tronix Technical Specification

Security Levels for Operator

Functions
Operators are programmed with
security levels between 0 - 3.
Operators are allocated
personal PIN codes that they
can change on a regular basis,
via a PIN key which may be
assigned to the keyboard.
Programming Security Levels
for Sales Functions
Security levels of sales functions
are set up by scrolling through
the sales functions in
management mode and
allocating them with security
levels 0 - 3. These functions
are initially set up with
default levels.
Security Log
The security log is a report
which shows functions that
have been carried out above a
user-entered security level. For
example, a report printed for
security level eight would print
each level eight and nine
function was carried out, with
the date, time and the name
of the operator who performed
the function.

System Functions
Audit Mode
Audit mode is either enabled or
disabled in manager mode.
Audit mode contains functions
like filtering, server buffer, client
buffer, Audit Report and erase
Audit list.
The filtering option allows the
operator to select which printing
modes transactions should be
stored, i.e. Label only, Receipt
only or Label and Receipt
transactions.

The server buffer is configurable

to store receipt or label
transactions in a linear
or circular format.
Linear can only hold a
determined number of
transactions and advises
the operator when full.
A circular buffer will
continuously write over
transactions on a first in, first
out basis when the memory
becomes full.
A transaction buffer size can
be changed in Service mode,
on installation.
Receipt Weight Mode
If required, the total weight
of each receipts weighed
transactions can be printed
at the bottom of the receipt.
Last Subtotal
When enabled, last subtotal
allows operators to recall the
value and number of
transactions from the last receipt
they transacted, to the display.
Reprinting of the receipt is
possible by pressing the Total
key. Note that this receipt is
marked as a duplicate copy.
Pre-Pack PLU Lock
Dependent upon the setting
of the pre-pack PLU lock, in
pre-pack mode, PLUs may need
to be cleared before a different
PLU can be called via the
pre-set keyboard. If they are
required to be cleared, set as
enabled. If they are not to
cleared, set as disabled.
Security Log Level
Any functions with a security
level equal to or higher than
the value entered here, will
be printed in the security log.

Packages
Brief overview of the PC
applications available for
support or retailer use.

MX100
MX100 has been specifically
designed to provide a
transparent interface between
the retailers primary Store
Management module (generally
the EPoS system), and the
mixture of scales in the various
departments within the store.
MX100 is designed to run on the
same computer as the
management module, but in
the background.
This solution allows the retailer
to control the prices and
product range in both the EPoS
and the scale systems from the
Head Office.

MX100 also provides for the

collection and return of scale
sales reports, as well as
enabling a detailed audit
trail of transactions.
How does MX100 work
- The MX100 is installed on
the local store management
system.
- MX100 processes the
incoming product change
file and validates its integrity.
- The validated file is
communicated to the scales
via the driver.

MX400
MX400 is a dedicated scale
management system, providing
functions not generally found in
retail business management
software (such as extended text
editing and label design).
It provides a safe and secure
method of maintaining scale
data and recovering trading
information. Used for the
following applications:
- In store scale Management
system
- Support for WA and WS
wrappers, IM, M and MP series
- Management of product data
- Configuration of scales
- Historical Reporting on totals
