Abstract
A system for monitoring paper consumption in association with a web printing press having the capability of monitoring paper delivered to the press from multiple rolls. An input waste scale having a waste bin thereon provides for the continuous registration of waste in sequence from the multiple rolls. Separate control circuits are provided, each responsive to the scale signal for sensing increments in scale weight for each respective roll to provide a total of waste weight per roll. Control is provided including means operator initiated for enabling only one of the control circuits for sensing so as to accumulate waste weight only associated with a selected roll.
