I noticed that the platter size on the QCS Model is 9 x 11″. How can I count 11 x 17″ paper on this scale?
The platter size does not have to match the size of the item you are counting. It this case, the 11 x 17 sheets can overhang the platter edges without affecting the count, provided the sheets don’t touch the table surface. For convenience, however, you can make a ‘false platter’ from a sheet of corrugated cardboard or 1/8″ thick masonite. Place this false platter on the scale and press the TARE key to remove the weight from the scale memory. Now you can proceed with counting as usual.
