CAS CL7200 Scale: LOT/Batch Functionality for Advanced Label Printing with Clover

Product Described: CAS CL7200 Label Printing Scale Variable Price Barcode Parser / Weight Embedded Barcode Parser

Question

A merchant selling frozen meat by weight needs each individual package labeled with a unique identifier that includes:

  • Lot / batch number (e.g., butcher + date received)
  • PLU
  • Individual stock unit count within that lot
  • Price-embedded barcode

They asked whether the more common CAS models (LP-1000N or CL-3000) can count individual stock units per PLU and print a custom multi-part SKU such as:

A062500201103000

(where the segments represent Lot + PLU + sequential unit number + price).

They also asked whether the CSI Works barcode parser apps would pass this full information into Clover.

Answer

Only the CAS CL7200 series has the LOT/Batch functionality required for this type of tracking.

The CL-3000 and LP-1000N do not support LOT/Batch numbering or automatic sequential counting of individual stock units within a lot.

The CL7200 is CAS’s most sophisticated label-printing scale and is capable of generating the complex label data the merchant needs (lot/batch + sequential unit number + price/weight embed).

Important Recommendations

  • Because the CL7200 is a high-end, feature-rich model, strongly consider purchasing a CAS service/support contract. This gives you direct access to CAS experts who can train your team and pre-configure the scale for your specific lot-tracking and labeling requirements.
  • Use the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app (Variable Price Barcode Parser or Weight Embedded Barcode Parser) so that Clover correctly interprets the barcode when scanned at the register.
