Fairbanks Scales is one of the oldest scale manufacturers in North America, with a strong presence in shipping, parcel, freight and industrial weighing. Bill Redirect captures the weight from any Fairbanks scale and forwards it to your shipping or business software without any modification of either side.

Supported Fairbanks scale models include:

  • Fairbanks Ultegra series — including SCB-R9000 USB, the most common parcel and shipping scale in North America
  • Fairbanks Aegis — counter-top parcel and bench scales
  • Fairbanks FB1100, FB2200, FB3000 — weight terminals for industrial weighing
  • Fairbanks legacy serial RS-232 models — yes, the 20-year-old scales still work with Bill Redirect
  • Fairbanks freight scales — when configured with an RS-232 output or weight terminal
Step-by-step setup

Configure your scale in 5 minutes

The same simple process whether you're using a brand-new scale or one you've owned for 15 years.

STEP 01

Install Bill Redirect

Download from billproduction.com and run the installer.

STEP 02

Connect your Fairbanks scale

Plug the RS-232 cable into a COM port (or USB-to-serial adapter). For SCB-R9000 USB models, just plug into a USB port.

STEP 03

Set the COM port parameters

Open Bill Redirect → COM port. Fairbanks default: usually 9600 baud, 8N1. Check your scale manual if the defaults differ.

STEP 04

Test the weight stream

Place a known weight on the scale and verify Bill Redirect's RX window shows the data. Fairbanks Ultegra typically sends weight + units + status on demand or continuously.

STEP 05

Pick your output mode

'Send to keyboard' for universal compatibility or 'Send to specific field' to lock it to one shipping app.

STEP 06

Ship

Open your shipping software, place the cursor in the weight field, weigh the package. Bill Redirect sends the weight instantly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q1 Does Bill Redirect work with the Fairbanks Ultegra SCB-R9000?

Yes. The SCB-R9000 is one of the most-configured scales with Bill Redirect. Both the RS-232 and USB versions are supported. The USB version uses HID and works without driver installation.

Q2 My Fairbanks scale outputs the weight only when I press a button. Can Bill Redirect handle that?

Yes. Bill Redirect supports both continuous-stream and on-demand (print-button) Fairbanks scales. For on-demand scales, the weight is sent when you press the scale's Print/Send button.

Q3 Can I filter out unstable weight readings?

Yes. Bill Redirect can read the Fairbanks stability flag and only forward the weight when the scale reports it as stable. This prevents the typical issue of weighing a moving package.

Q4 Does Bill Redirect work with the older Fairbanks H90 series?

Yes, provided the scale has an RS-232 output. Bill Redirect doesn't care about the scale's age — only the data protocol.

Q5 Can I use a Fairbanks scale with multiple shipping apps?

Yes. You can switch destination apps without reconfiguring Bill Redirect (in 'Send to keyboard' mode). Or you can create profiles with different destinations and switch between them with a hotkey.
