Products Discussed: Barcode Parser/Cas Scale/Detecto Scale
Problem Statement:
Merchant: HI, I have a Clover station and a scale and I have a Brother printer that hooks to it that will print UPC labels from easy label but I am struggling to figure out how to print variable weighted barcodes.
I have a small meat market where we use the Clover for sales and I don't use barcodes - but I am trying to put my products into a local grocery store and I have acquired my GS1 code and I have started generating barcodes but before I continue down this path, I need to figure out how to get a properly processed barcode through my system that I can add to my meat to then sell to the grocery store.
I have a CAS - SW Series Scale
Will your app help me for example - put a piece of meat on the scale - register it in clover - generate a variable weight barcode using my GS1 number?
Solution:
CSI Works Support: The setup you have may not work because you probably won’t be able to program the printer individually to print weight or price embedded barcodes.
I am recommending that you look at some of these scales that are best for meat markets and do the barcode label printing with price or weight embedded barcodes.
You can see the video of such scale working with clover here: https://youtu.be/UZRs05HLnnw
Specifically, I think you should consider this model: https://cas4clover.com/collections/lp-series/products/lp-1000n
There is a more cost effective alternative
