Products affected: SendPro® Online

Issue

  • When the scale icon is selected, SendPro does not show the weight from the scale.
  • The scale is not weighing correctly.

Cause

  • The scale is not compatible with SendPro.
  • The SendPro scale app has not been installed (only when using SendPro on a web browser).
  • There is nothing on the scale.
  • There is a USB hub between the scale and the computer.

Resolution

Solution 1: Ensure that the scale is compatible with SendPro Online

Ensure that a compatible scale is installed:

  • 5 kg USB scale (item number 397-B)
  • 30 kg USB scale (item number 397-D)

On the bottom of the scale is a label with information about the scale. This label should list the PB CODE, which must match one of these compatible scales.

Solution 2: Zero the scale

If using SendPro Online in a web browser

  1. If your scale has a Zero button, click it.
  2. If your scale does not have a Zero button, install the SendPro Scale App:
  3. Once the SendPro Scale App is installed, right-click on the SendPro Scale App ("SP") icon in the system tray and select Zero Scale.

Solution 3: Ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the computer

Ensure that the USB cable is connected directly from the scale to the computer. Do not use a USB hub between the USB scale and the computer. If the scale is already plugged directly into the computer, try a different USB port on the computer.

Solution 4: Manually pair the scale

  1. Clear your web browser's cookies and cache. Consult your web browser's help for assistance.

Note: When the scale is connected to a computer with the USB cable, the power button on the scale will be disabled. The power button is only used when the scale is powered with a 9-volt battery. There is no need to use a battery if the scale is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
