Version 2.03 of the program is designed for the functioning of EVL scale, produced by
SLOBODA, as well as for the printers STAR TSP 400, Datecs LP50,LP55, LP1000, Eltron
LP2824, Epson TM-L60II, Epson TM-L90..
The mode “ summary of the accumulated units “ is introduced in the scale. It’s accessible
only if the scale is compatible with a label printer. The goal is to have a group label – label for
the package box that stores the units. This label bears the information on the total weight, value
and number of the units, for which the label has been printed.
Registers for summing up the following items are organized:
• Total weight (кг) of the units (6 positions xxx.yyy)
• Total value in leva of the units (6 positions)
• Number of units (0..999).
The accumulation in these registers takes place when the label is being printed.
No overflow control is automatically executed!!!!!
To display the register/counter content press 'CH'. The mode “ view accumulation” is started. .
When in this mode the follow keys are appropriate:
'MC' – double press the key to clear the register content .
'PRN' – to print a group label
These are the similarities between the group label and the unit label : one and the same format is
used as well as one and the same label (number 0..7).
The differences are:
3
• Instead of a unit weight, a group weight is printed.
• Instead of a unit value, a group value/ sum of all unit values/ is printed.
When a group label is printed, the number of units can be added as well as an additional text
line , for example “ Total number of vacuumed units 125” . This text line is changed into spaces
when a unit label is printed !!!! When editing or designing the label this text line should be
entered in both the format and the EXE part. If not, a printing mistake will be reported when
printing. If no text information is entered then the scale generates a regular label / as if for a
unit/ , but with weight and value number extracted from the summing registers.
After a group label has been printed the registered should be cleared manually by pressing MC
key. The same operation is required when changing the kind of article to be split into units no
matter if a group label has been printed.

Parameter Editor v.2.2
Additional options are supplied to Program Version 2.1 so it can support up to 660 articles.
If your scale supports more than 90 articles, then before you start communicating with the
scales/ having defined the serial port/ – push Check version button – This command will
enable the program to check the maximum number of articles supported.
Two other options Import и Export are added to version 2. 2, which allow transfer of data
from and to a text file, created by the Datecs electronic scale.
Edit / View - Abbreviation – this option sets the way the names of the months are displayed on
the scale – positions are reserved for the months (January, February…); 13 – one word for an
hour in singular(hour); 14 one word for an hour in plural (hours); 15 one word for a day in
singular (day); 16 one word for a day in plural (days); 17 month in singular (month); 18 months
in plural (months); 19 year in singular ( year); 20 year in plural ( years). The length of the
section is 7 symbols at maximum. The management of the option is the same as the Aggregate
parameters option.
Edit / View - Totals – to load from the scale the accumulation of information on articles – total
value ( in leva) and weight ( in kg )
o Push the Load from Scale button to load all accumulated article data starting from
article 1 to 90. The total sum TS is indicated at the bottom of the list while the total
amount of accumulated articles is indicated by TО
o Push the Save as text to save the changes on the disc – this command creates a text
file with the following format : weight ( in kg) value( in leva ) , the first 90 savings are
for articles numbered from 1 to 90 ; 91 is used for total sum when price is entered ; 92 –
total sum for positions 1-91.
o Push Clear All Totals to clear all article totals
o Use Cyrillic for: to select the type of printer to be used to enable the program to select
suitable code for the Cyrillic letters
o The communication with the scale is controlled via buttons Send ,Load:
o Push Send to Scale to enter the logical number of the scale , which you are going to
communicate with (if =0 is entered the command is interpreted regardless the logical
number of the scale.
o If any troubles with the communication occur, check the connecting cable, or if necessary
set the serial port of the computer from Set COM port .
o Close- to close the dialogue window
Use the Check version to check the version of the scale software / less or more than 90 articles/
Remember to do this check first , before you try any other kind of communication!
Edit / View – Set COM port - If any troubles with the communication occur, check the
connecting cable, or if necessary set the serial port of the computer from Set COM port.
