Reference the New Features and Bug Fixes for changes since the previous version (5.5) of software. Install / Uninstall Information. ================================ 1. Use Flashpro to install this software into the 8461 product. NEW FEATURES Both Tnet and Ethernet: - Added bar code types 1, 8 and 9 which are the general merchandise format (like type 0, 6 and 7). - Added option to "disable wgt for:" on the last page of Setup/Cal-Install/PLU Settings. This disables the lb for pricing. - Added option to "disable Lb Frac" on the last page of Setup/Cal-Install/PLU Settings. This disables fractional pricing when the scale is calibrated in lb. Ethernet Only: - Network Setup is now has its own button in the Setup/Unit screen. It is no longer behind the Cal/Install where you may have had to break the seal to modify it. - Added BootP which is the ability to obtain scale setup information from the server, similar to DHCP. This is enabled by setting the network to Automatic and disabled by the Manual setting. - Added Primary / Secondary server. Two new settings were added to the Network Setup menu: Backup IP and Backup Name. These can be used to point the client to a secondary STEM (or PC running Scale Server) by entering the STEM or PC's IP (if manual) or Name (if automatic). At power up the client will attempt to connect to the Primary STEM, but if it can not find it the client will then look for the secondary STEM; this takes several minutes. If the client has been calling PLU's ok from the primary STEM and then can not find it, e.g. someone turned it off, it takes about 30 seconds for the client to locate and call the PLU from the secondary STEM. COMPATIBILITY - Compatible with all the databack files of the released 8461 V4.0, V4.1, and V5.0 and the field test xV5.1 and xV5.5. - Compatible with the Standard SmartTouch (tnet only) and Ethernet SmartTouch (tnet or ethernet) masters as well as the old 4 and 6 digit masters. - Compatible with existing PLU, ET, NF and GR files when set to SA mode. BUG FIXES Bug 1046 - Does not calculate the TP correctly when the currency is set to 0.05; it does not round to .05 all the time. Bug 1047 - Customer Display does not show Least Significant Digit of price when Currency Inc = 1.0. Bug 1054 - Type 2 Barcodes for Bycount and Std Pack Labels print price check digit instead of 0 when format 1 is selected. Bug xxxx - Correct rounding by currency increment. Bug xxxx - Over-ride of the Scale setting for the Barcode by the PLU Barcode setting did not work. Bug xxxx - Made changes is to a low level ethernet driver.
