Manual: The workstation operator is prompted to enter the weight of the item if the scale is not connected.
Automatic: A scale attached to a workstation can automatically calculate the weight of the item.
Tare weight is the weight of a container or wrapper that is deducted from the gross weight to obtain the net weight. For example, in a restaurant with a salad bar where salad is sold by weight, the customer should not be charged for the weight of the container. To prevent this, a tare weight is configured for the salad menu item, and the weight of the salad’s container is automatically subtracted from the weight of the salad.
