Accumulator Functions
The accumulator must be enabled before use. Once
enabled, weight (net weight if a tare is in the system) is
accumulated whenever a print operation is performed
using the
key, digital input, or serial command.
The scale must return to zero (net zero if a tare is in the
system) before the next accumulation.
The
Display Accum
softkey can be configured to display
the current accumulator value. Printing while the
accumulator is displayed uses the ACCFMT print
format (see Section 6.0 on page 52).
Press the

key twice to clear the accumulator.
Note
With the panel mount version of the 720i, you
need to use CLR Accumulator DigIn Function
