Tare Weight
A tare is the amount of weight accounted for by the container or packaging. By entering a tare weight (as required
by law in some areas) the weight of the container is subtracted and only the true weight of the product is measured
on the scale. A Tare Weight can be selected and applied to a scalable PLU (not Auto-scale) or a specific Tare can
be applied automatically by setting the Auto-Tare in the PLU Status Group for scale items.
Tare weights are programmed in:
Program Mode → Options → Tare Weight
Auto Tare Weight

3. The PLU is registered (minus the weight of the Tare).
