NOTE: The operation of the Astra scale may vary somewhat from that described below,

depending on which Astra model you are using. If in doubt, consult the Astra Operation
Manual.

Next, the following dialog appears with instructions on how to setup the scale to receive
data.
Check that the cable connecting the PC to the scale is plugged in correctly.
Also, remove any keysheet from the Astra keyboard to expose the programming
keyboard.

Turn on the Astra and set to REGISTRATION mode (on the Astra keyboard, enter
9000, then press the MODE key).

Press the down arrow on the Astra keyboard until "Communication" appears, then
press ENTER, followed by the down arrow. The scale should display "receive data".

Press ENTER again. The scale displays "receiving" indicating that it is now ready to
receive data.

Go back to the PC and click the OK button in the above dialog to start sending. The PC
starts sending data to the scale.

If the data transfer is successful, the scale will display briefly "data received OK", then
"PLU".

If communications are not successful, see the "Troubleshooting" section in Starting
AstraLink for the First Time above.

See Chapter 3 Communicating with the Scale for full details on how to transfer data to and from
the scale.
