How long does the scale takes to measure? I want to measure the weigth o a quick tap on the scale? Also, how often does send the values to the pc?

Hello, I am not thrilled with this scale. It does measure quick. It send the values to the PC via a USB cable, the software you are using has to be able to read the scale. My problem is that the scale seems to "drift" just from sitting and becomes inaccurate. Dymo has sent me 2 replacements already and they all do the same thing.

First off I don't use mine with a PC, can't help you. It is very responsive. No long start-up. Quick read time, but it is spring scale and the force of putting an object on the scale will take a second to register correctly.

It's always faster to measure than I am. But I'm using it to weight for postage. For a quick tap, I dont know and suspect you are looking at the wrong scale. It's meant for packages. Even if it read the quick tap and your software grabed only the max entry, not sure how accurate it would be. Do know that as you press on the scale, you can see the weight change on the PC. I'm using Shipworks.Hope that helps you out.

This scale does need you to be still for a moment, but it responds quickly. If you are moving, you do shift the weight that is shown on the display. It can give you a couple of different weights if you move too much.

Scale comes with 4 AAA Batteries. Life of batteries would depend on useage and how many family members use the scale. When batteries are low-LO appears on LCD. I just got my scale and have only used several times so far. When stepping on the scale weight will blink 2 times and final weight will be calculated. The screen onlystays lit for a 2-5 seconds and automatically turns off. Hopefully the batterieswill last for sometime. Hope this answers your question(s)

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

Scale stays on and repeats your results three time, so I would guess about a minute. The scale is sensitive but as long as you do not shift your weight between feet it reads you eight accurately. Very happy with this scale.

I do not have a very accurate light weighting scale, I used a regular scale the one you step onto and it weighed between 5- 6 pounds. I hope this helps you, I find it to be very light, just know that it is not a touch screen.

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

it measures your item accurately in ounces / pounds (up to 5lbs) It is a separate scale and not connected to a computer of any kind-so NO not with any software on your computer directly. I use it for weighing both eBay USPS, Click N' Ship USPS online and UPS. Otherwise I don't know what you mean "does it work with click and ship software?".

It changes until it senses the weight has stabilized. There are very few buttons so I highly doubt that can be done. If you are looking for a scale to measure things as you add to it, like a kitchen scale, I would not get this for that.

Yes, that is what I found. I have a small bathroom and don't have the room to leave the scale out; so it is stored on edge next to the cabinet. With the Tap-to-zero scale this replaced, this was never as issue and weighing took 15-20 secs. With the MIRA Instant On I have to:-step on and wait until the scale settles and flashes-step off and wait until the display is off-then re-weigh myself.I consistently see a 1-6 lb difference between the two readings. The scale is consistent after that...until it is stored back on edge. Perhaps not what it was designed to do, and the reason why I didn't return it. I don't know your application and I have not tested moving it from one flat place to another. Good luck. Yes, that is what I found.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?
