If an electronic scale is connected to the register, use the Scale tab to set it up. SHOW MORE INFO

Field	Description

Time out	The maximum amount of time that POS will wait to receive a weight from the scale.

Asynchronous mode	If the scale supports it, select this option to enable asynchronous mode. In asynchronous mode, when a cashier scans or looks up a weighted item at the register they are prompted to put the item on the scale. The register automatically reads the weight from the scale and after the cashier confirms the weight it is added to the transaction. If the scale does not support asynchronous mode, or if asynchronous mode is disabled, the cashier must put the item on the scale before they can scan or look up the item.
