Bizerba Q1 Series Compatibility with Clover POS
Includes both pole and bench display models—barcode format determines app selection
Question
A deli owner recently purchased the Bizerba Q1 Series scale to label meats and cheeses. One location is using the bench display version, while another store opted for the pole display model. Both businesses use Clover POS and want to know whether the Q1 Series integrates for barcode scanning—despite not knowing whether the barcodes include total price or total weight.
Answer
Yes—the Bizerba Q1 Series is compatible with Clover POS when paired with the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app. These scales are programmable and capable of printing either price-embedded or weight-embedded barcodes. CSI Works supports both formats, so integration is possible no matter which barcode type your setup uses.
Choose your CSI Works app based on the barcode format:
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for price-embedded barcodes
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for weight-embedded barcodes
Both Q1 configurations are identical in barcode functionality—the only difference is display format.
Model Configuration | Description |
---|---|
Bench Model | Display built into the base (no pole) |
Pole Model | Elevated customer-facing display |
The integration process remains the same regardless of which configuration is used.
Barcode Format | Use This CSI Works App |
---|---|
Barcode contains total price | Variable Price Barcode Parser |
Barcode contains total weight | Weight Embedded Barcode Parser |
Here’s how to find out:
Print a test label from the Q1 scale
Check the barcode—does it represent price or weight?
If unclear, send a photo of the label to CSI Works and we’ll identify it for you
Follow these steps for a seamless connection:
Set each product in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU used in the Q1 scale
