Ignore Scale Pole Directives

Parameter #
1242
The pole display is required to be consumer facing if the POS system is not certified for displaying live gross weight.
When Ignore Scale Pole Directives is set to honor scale pole directives (Honor Scale Pole Directives), a Remote display required but not detected status is returned to the POS system (see bit position 5 in Scale Status Byte 0) if the pole display configuration was set to Enable Scale Display Configuration (see Scale Display Configuration), and a pole display was either uninstalled, or failed at the scale display port on the scanner (refer to the Integration Guide for the pole display port). The 7-segment display scrolls a U23 fault code under this condition. This prevents the POS display from showing live gross weight, and does not allow the POS to complete a price/weight transaction unless a pole display is connected, and shows live gross weight.
  • *Ignore Scale Pole Directives: Always returns the status Remote display required but not detected to the POS system. POS weight display and/or price/weight transactions are enabled whether a pole display is installed or not.
  • Honor Scale Pole Directives: Returns the status Remote display required but not detected to the POS system when the Scale Display Configuration is enabled, and the pole display is either uninstalled, or the connection to the port is faulty. This prevents live gross weight from displaying on the POS system, and inhibits price/weight scale transactions at the POS until a pole display is installed and shows live gross weight.
