Adding a Supported Scale

A weighing scale is natively supported by BarTender if the scale manufacturer and model name appear in the Add Scale Wizard, accessed from the Weighing Scale Setup dialog.

If your scale is supported, all you need to do is walk through the Add Scale Wizard to install it. To find out if your scale is natively supported, refer to Installing a Scale.
