1 Introduction
General
Thank you for purchasing an Impact M
®
scale. The METTLER TOLEDO
®
Impact series
was designed for your current and future requirements and it can handle a variety of
operations and adapt to changing process and data requirements. This flexibility protects
your investment and helps you keep pace with rapidly changing production and
customer demands.
The Impact M scale offers very easy programming with a user friendly interface. All
scales contain a built-in thermal label printer which is designed for quick and easy roll
changes. Also, the Impact M provides a large, full-color LCD display for easy PLU look-
up and straightforward operator control.
The Impact M is a low-profile counter scale with an easy-to-navigate user interface. The
Impact M can be operated in a standalone mode with a local database or connected to a
REM or STEM through an Ethernet network using TCP/IP protocol. In client mode, the
Impact M can be on the same network as the Model UC-ST, 8361, 8450, or 8461
scales.

Power
The power switch and power cord jack are located under the touchscreen on the left front
of the scale.
Press on the switch to turn the scale power to ON and again to turn the scale off (it is
a momentary switch, so it will return to its original position after being touched). Always
exit any editing screens before pressing the switch to turn power OFF. Always turn the
scale off before cleaning.
The Impact M requires 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.2A power. Wiring must include a
proper ground. The integrity of the power ground for equipment is important for both
safety and dependable operation of the electronic device. A poor ground can result in an
unsafe condition should an electrical short develop in the equipment.
A good ground connection minimizes extraneous electrical noise pulses. The electronic
device should not share power lines with noise-generating equipment. Examples include
electrical motors, compressors, heating elements, lights, and relays that may generate
noise spikes and power surges. To confirm ground integrity, use a commercial branch
circuit analyzer or grounded outlet tester. If adverse power conditions exist, a dedicated
power circuit or power line conditioner might be required.
Network Connection
The Impact M can connect to your Ethernet network using a cable or using a wireless
radio. If you use a wired network connection and experience connection problems, make
sure your Ethernet cable is connected and seated securely in the jack, located under the
touchscreen at the front of the scale.
If you are using a wireless radio, it is built into the scale under an access panel situated
below the platter and spider on the left-hand side.
If the scale has a wireless card installed, do not connect an external Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port.

Leveling the Scale
The Impact M must be level and installed on a stable counter. The level indicator is
located behind the customer display, as shown below.
The bubble in the indicator must be centered inside the circle. If the bubble is outside of
the circle on the indicator, use the four leveling feet to level the scale.
Level Indicator
The level indicator consists of
a bubble and two circles.
Center the bubble and the
scale will be level.
Rotate leveling feet clockwise
or counterclockwise to
determine a level platter.

PLU Pricing Modes
PLU is an abbreviation for Price Look Up. The PLU is a reference number assigned to a
product's record including fields such as the description, price, tare, etc. Different PLU's
will have different pricing modes. Meat is normally sold "By Weight" by the pound or
kilogram. Many bakery products are sold "By Count". Other products may be sold in a
standard package that uses a fixed weight. The different pricing modes are as described
in the following sections.
By-Weight PLU
Examples of products sold By Weight
are meats, cheese, poultry, and
produce. By-Weight items can be
priced in three ways:
Priced "Per Pound/kg" - Typically
weighed items are priced per pound.
The weight multiplied by the unit price
equals the total price of the product.
Priced "Per Fraction of a
Pound/100g" (fractional) - The item
may also be priced by the fraction of
the pound (where legal and desired). Pricing per 1/4 pound and per 1/2 pound are
available in “pounds” mode and 100 gram is available in “kg” mode.
"Pounds/kg for price" - The PLU may be sold with a pounds-for-price (rather than price
per pound). For example, “2 pounds for $1.00” rather than “$0.50/pound.”
METTLER TOLEDO Impact M User's Guide
2-12
By-Count PLU
Examples of items sold by the count are
cookies, donuts, rolls, bread, etc.
Example: 4 Apples for $0.69. The By-
Count PLU allows the operator to use the
scale to print labels. Pricing is entered
as a certain quantity of items for a set
price. If the total weight for the items is
needed, a weight field can be configured
on the label to print the weight of the
items in addition to the By-Count
information.
Standard Pack PLU
Examples of items sold by Standard
Pack include whole chickens, sheet
cakes, bread, etc. The Standard Pack
PLU is similar to By-Count and also
allows the operator to print labels. These
labels indicate the fixed net weight and
total price of the item. These types of
items all use a fixed weight.

Calling PLUs
When the Impact M is in Service mode, the operator screen will display the active
department’s Preset Pages and Preset PLUs.
Note: Service mode is the default on the PLU Edit screen. After the product has been
weighed, a label has been printed, and the item has been removed from the scale, the
PLU will clear and the scale will return to the home screen.
To begin a transaction, place an item on the weighing tray (can be done either before or
after a PLU is called up).
Call a PLU (Price Look Up) by pressing the Preset key related to the product directly enter
the PLU number on the keyboard.
The screen will vary slightly in appearance depending on whether it is By Weight, By
Count or Standard Pack. Depending on how the PLU has been set up, some of the fields
may be over-ridden such as Shelf Life, Tare, etc.

COOL
Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is information assigned to a PLU that designates
where a product came from and where it was processed. In many ways COOL records
(Country of Origin Labeling) are treated very similar to ingredients records. COOL records
must be assigned to a PLU in order to print. COOL implementation involves a
combination of COOL Text Records, COOL Production Text Records, COOL Countries and
possibly COOL Pretext.
COOL is supported through specialized Extra Text Records and lists of extra text records
that are associated with the PLU record. The operator can choose a preconfigured COOL
statement or, create custom COOL statements, and if enabled, enter tracking and Lot
numbers.
Optional USB keyboard

COOL Text
COOL Text records contain the complete statement of how the product was harvested and
where it was harvested. Common examples of a COOL Text record are “Wild Caught” or
“Product of USA”.
Multiple COOL Texts can be chained together to give an operator more selections. This is
useful for a retailer that pu
rchases an identical product from multiple countries. These
type of lists are best created and maintained in MT SmartX or through other host software.
Production Text
Production text is a phrase in the list such as “Produced in”, “Processed in”. Production
text is created the same way as COOL Text.
Country Text
Country text is a list of countries and the individual country names (literals). Country text
and text lists are created the same as COOL Text as described above.
Pre Text
Pre Text is a word or phrase that prints before the COOL Text on a label. Pre Text is
programmed into the PLU record and cannot be overridden by the operator. Pre text and
text lists are created the same as COOL Text as described above.

COOL List records are the list of relevant COOL text for a specific PLU. The exception to
this rule is the COOL Pre-Text; since it is a single text record the actual text record number
is associated to the PLU record.
The COOL text records and the COOL Lists of text records are separated by record number
ranges. Text Records have a record number assigned to them in the range of 0-
500000. Lists of text records have a record number assigned to them in the rand of
500001-999999.
The identifiers used for COOL linked record lists must be in the 0-499999 range. The
500000-999999 range is reserved for the COOL text literals used to populate each list
element. The type 8 record is used for the Pre-Text Portion of the COOL statement and
points to a text literal.
COOL statements are a composite of the Pre-Text and User Selected COOL records. They
are limited to 150 Characters.
The COOL system works by using Extra Text type 5, 6, and 7 links in the PLU record as
the ID of the selection list to be displayed on the scale. COOL Extra text records are as
follows:
ET Type 5 - Records are
preconfigured COOL declarations and lists of preconfigured
records.
ET Type 6 - Records are keywords or production steps and lists of keywords used
when building custom COOL declarations. For example: “Raised In”, “Product of”,
or “Processed In”.
ET Type 7 - Records are countries and country lists also used when building custom
COOL declarations. For example: “U.S.A.”, “China”, “Chile”, or “Mexico”.
ET Type 8 - Records are the COOL Pre-text Records that are described below.
However, there are no pre-text record lists. Only a single pre-text record can be
associated to the PLU.
COOL Text
COOL Text Records
(link record type 5) are Country of Origin Labeling statements that are
created either by the operator or downloaded from host and linked to one or more PLU's.
COOL Text records contain the complete statement of where and how the product was
harvested.
Common examples of a COOL Text record are “Wild Caught” or “Product of USA”.
Multiple COOL Texts can be chained together to give an operator more selections. This is
useful for a retailer that purchases an identical product from multiple countries.
In order to provide a chained COOL Text record, a list of COOL Text Records must be
created and assigned to PLU so that when the operator calls the PLU, a list of options is
presented on the scale display. COOL Text Records are chained together using [ESC]+ to
form a list.
COOL Production Text
COOL Production Step
(Link Record Type 6) - This record type is used by the operator to
select the Production Text and to build a custom COOL Text record, if there isn’t a default
record.
Examples of Production Step are: Wild Caught, Farm Raised, Product Of, Born In, Raised
In, Processed In, Harvested In and Imported From.
Multiple COOL Production Texts can be chained together to give an operator more
selections. Product Text Records number must be above 500,000 and Production Text
List number must be less than 499,999.

displayed and the button is grayed out. If using a static address (fixed), press the button
to enter the new IP address.
Subnet Mask – A subnet mask is used with an IP address to subdivide a network into
smaller networks, allowing a greater number of nodes on a network with a single IP
address. The Subnet Mask is the part of the IP address used to represent a sub network
within a logical network. By using Subnet Masks, network address space is available that
would normally be unavailable. Subnet Masks also ensure broadcasts are not sent to the
whole network unless intended. The default Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0, is
recommended to reduce network traffic. When Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0 is used,
the broadcast range would be the local subnet only as follows:
METTLER TOLEDO Impact M User's Guide
3-56
255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
207.142.140.XXX IP Address with a broadcast range of XXX.
255.255.0.0 Subnet Mask
207.142.XXX.XXX IP Address with a broadcast range of XXX.XXX
Using the Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0, improves network performance by reducing
broadcast traffic.
Router IP Address – If the server is on a different network (see Subnet Mask), the client
will access the server by routing the request to the Default Gateway IP Address. The
Gateway will route the request to other devices on the network to deliver the request to the
server. The requested data from the server will then be routed through the Gateway to the
requesting client. The Gateway must be on the same local network as the client.
DNS1 Server IP – This server TP is used for an Ethernet client to resolve a name to the
IP address for communication which is easier for a user to remember. The purpose of a
DNS server is to enable people and applications to lookup records in DNS tables. Most
DNS servers are now private, meaning that they are configured to only provide service to
the people and organizations who own and maintain them. A few domain name servers
on the Internet provide DNS resolutions for anyone who requests it of them. These are
known as "Public DNS Servers." Some free DNS servers are:
OpenDNS Basic 208.67.222.222
Google Public DNS 8.8.4.4
Verizon 151.197.0.38 and 151.197.0.39
Cisco 64.102.255.44 and 128.107.241.185
DNS1 Server IP – Secondary if DNS1 is not available.

Label Requirements
The purpose of this section is to specify the requirements of thermal labels to be used in
Mettler Toledo retail scale and pre-pack thermal printers.
This document includes dimensional requirements for labels and label rolls, as well as
general requirements for label paper, thermal coatings, preprinting inks and adhesives.
Use of label materials and designs which meet with these requirements is necessary to
ensure operation of the printers in compliance with their respective functional
specifications and satisfactory performance of the label in the end-use environment.
Labels which do not comply with all of the requirements of this document may function
with limitations, but would need to be tested by the customer to insure adequate
performance in their application. Customer specified (COD) software is not covered under
this specification.

The release liner must be slit cleanly and be made free of edge slivers and dust by
vacuuming or some equally effective process.
Winding
The labels must be wound face out as shown in Figure 2. The finished roll must be made
free of paper dust and loose particles by vacuuming or some equally effective process.
Label; Curl
Stripped labels must not curl more than 0.020 inch as specified in the figure below.
Splicing
Each roll may contain one splice on non-label side of liner using 0.002 inch maximum
thickness tape as shown below.

Preprinted Labels

Preprinted Labels
To ensure trouble free operation of the printer gap sensor, and to achieve normal print
head life, no pre printing should be placed on the label in the gap sensor path or in areas
which will be printed by the scale printer. See Figure 7. However, since preprinting is
commonly used by many customers the following guidelines must be followed.
1. Inks used for preprinting must be specially formulated for use in thermal printers. If
proper inks are not used they can adhere to the print head. This ink build up on the print
head will interfere with heat transfer from the print head to the paper and cause printing
elements to burn out. Another problem with inks not formulated for thermal printing is
that they can contain chemicals which will cause the glass overcoat to chip off of the
print head, causing failure to print in the chipped areas.
2. If black ink is used in preprinting in the gap sensor path shown in Figure 7, a dense
black stripe will have to be printed on the back of the liner, as shown in Figure 8, to
prevent the gap sensor from being affected by the black preprinting. (Colors other than
black might also be a problem and should be tested by the customer) The black stripe
must have gaps which correspond to the label gaps. The black stripe on the liner must
have a minimum transmission optical density of 2.3 and must be uniform. (see optical
density – page 8) In addition, the gap sensor circuit will need to be adjusted for operation
with the black stripe as explained in the product service manual. This adjustment will
need to be checked any time label paper is changed, for example when labels are
procured from a new supplier.
3. If an optical density of at least 2.3 cannot be achieved in the black stripe on the back
of the liner, the liner width should be increased (as shown in Figure 9) so that the
preprinted label is not in the gap sensor path. For the Impact S, the sensor path in the
center of the label must be free of black preprinting.
No Dark Preprinting in
this area

Special Shaped Labels
Labels with shapes other than rectangular will cause gap detection errors if the gap
dimension (in the gap sensor path) is outside the limits given in this document, or if the
edge of the label shape crosses into and out of the sensor path as shown below. For
these cases the black stripe will have to be printed on the back of the liner as shown
previously. Tests will be needed to determine if the stripe will be adequate or if additional
liner width will be required. The safe approach is to use the black stripe configuration
shown previously on all odd shaped labels.
Some examples of oddly-shaped labels
that will require the black stripe for
optical measure.

Optical Densities

Optical Densities
Definition of Transmission of Optical Density
Transmission optical density is defined as:
Optical Density = log
10
(incident light / transmitted light) = log
10
(100 / % light
transmission)
Transmission optical density can be measured with a transmission densitometer that
meets ANSI standards. Examples are the Macbeth model TD903 and TD932.
Optical density for 100% light transmission = log
10
(100/100) = log
10
(1) = 0
Optical density for 0.1% light transmission = log
10
(100/0.1) = log
10
(1000) =3
Label and Liner Optical Density
If liner paper transmits 2% of the light which is incident on it, the optical density is log
10
(100/2) = 1.7
If the light transmitted through the liner is 3 times the light transmitted through the liner
and label, the relative optical densities are:
Optical Density of Liner + Label = log
10
(100 / X)
Optical Density of Liner Only = log
10
(100 / 3X)
= log
10
(0.3333X)
= log
10
0.3333 + log
10
(X)
= log
10
(X) – 0.48
Therefore, if the liner must transmit 3 times the light that the liner and label transmits, the
transmission optical density of the liner must be 0.48 less than the transmission optical
density of the liner and label.
Black Stripe Optical
Density
If only 0.5 % of incident light is transmitted through the black stripe, the optical density
is:
log
10
(100 / 0.5) = log
10
(200) = 2.3
The purpose of specifying a transmission optical density of at least 2.3 for the printed
black stripe on the back of the label is to minimize any variation in light transmission as
a result of black pre-printing on the front of the label. This variation due to black
preprinting can cause the gap sensor to give gap detection errors.

Printer Cleaning
Clean the printhead anytime you notice the print quality has degraded.
Lift the latch to release and raise the printhead. Use the Cleaning Pen to clean any glue
or debris from the black striped area of the printhead. A cotton swab and alcohol may
also be used in place of the cleaning pen.
Use a small brush to clean
any surfaces with dust or
label residue buildup.
Clean the platen roller using a
Clean Pen or a swab
moistened with alcohol.
Press the Print button to rotate
the roller. Rotate the roller
again and repeat the above
procedure until the roller is
clean.
Note: You may need to thread
labels up through the gap
sensor to avoid receiving a
Low Stock error.

Geo Index
The Impact scale can compensate for variations caused by gravitational forces. The geo
index for the location where the scale is calibrated is programmed into the scale at the
factory. When the Impact scale is moved to a new location, the geo index for the new
location should be entered in scale setup. Use the following table to determine the geo
index for a location.
