These are just a few of the questions that folks ask when purchasing a retail price computing scale.  Basically, the easiest thing to do is determine what is the typical weight amount you are going to be weighing.  For most people that amount usually falls well below 30 pounds.  However, there are times when you may need a larger capacity like 60 pounds.  When that happens, it’s great to have a scale like the CAS S2000 JR price computing scale.  The 60 lb model features a 60 lb max capacity with 0.02 lb readability.  However, this same scale also features the same readability up to 30 lbs that a typical retail scale with 30 lb. capacity would have, 0.01 lbs.  So, you get the best of both worlds in one scale.

The S-2000 JR scales feature a “dual range” capacity. This is a nice feature that means you get increased readability that you probably wouldn’t get on most other price computing scales. For example on a 60 pound capacity price computing scale from most other manufacturers, the scale will increment up/down from zero to 60 pounds in 0.02 lb increments. The 60 lb. S2000 JR displays weight from zero to 30 lbs in increments up/down in 0.01 lbs. Then from 30 to 60 lbs, the scale will increment up/down in 0.02 lb increments.  Add a DLP-50 label printer and you have an affordable price computing scale with label printer.
