Weight Scales are used to determine the weight and weight based price of an item e.g If navel oranges cost $4 per kilo and a customer wishes to purchase 4 Oranges, they would be weighed on the weight scale. If the total weight of the oranges were 0.5 Kgs the price would be set to $2. This form is used to edit existing scale configuration or add new weight scales to the system. This form is accessible from the POS Peripheral Details form.
From Polygon POS Management, Access POS Network File by clicking the POS Network button on the toolbar, Highlight the POS Terminal that you wish to add a peripheral to, then either: •Click the New button, then select Peripheral, then set the Device Type to Weight Scale, or, •Highlight an existing Weight Scale peripheral and click the Change button.
