設定する。Illumination light is irradiated from the light source 4 to the article to be weighed 5, and the ITV sends data of the imaged article to be weighed 5 to the image processor 2. The image processor calculates the two-dimensional size of the article from the image data stored in the MXN-bit image memory (2), and the obtained data is sent to the calculation device 3. The arithmetic device 3 compares the obtained two-dimensional information on the size of the object to be weighed with pre-stored data of the object, such as root vegetables and seafood, on a wave meter, and weighs the object on the conveyor. The conveyed article to be weighed is identified.Then, conditions such as upper and lower limits 11!, quantity value, etc., which are stored in the memory for each weighing article, and product code, product name, unit price, date, etc. are printed. The information is read out and set in the control device 14 and printer 15 provided in the measuring section B, as shown in FIG. 1(b).
