Auto-wrapping scale with label printing—barcode format determines CSI Works app
Question
A meat department is upgrading to the Digi AW-5600, a high-speed auto-wrapper that weighs, wraps, and labels fresh trays of meat in one motion. The team uses Clover POS at checkout and wants to scan those labels at the register. But they’re unsure whether the barcode printed by the AW-5600 includes total price or total weight. Will this machine integrate properly?
Answer
Yes—the Digi AW-5600 Auto Wrapper is compatible with Clover POS when used with a CSI Works barcode parser app. The AW-5600 can be configured to print either price-embedded or weight-embedded barcodes, and both formats are supported by CSI Works apps for seamless scanning into the Clover Register.
Select your app based on how your barcodes are formatted:
Variable Price Barcode Parser – if barcodes contain total price
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – if barcodes contain total weight
This advanced unit combines weighing, wrapping, and labeling into a single automatic workflow. It is widely used in grocery store backrooms and meat departments for pre-packing meat, seafood, and poultry.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Auto Wrapping | Automatic weigh, wrap, and label in one step |
Label Printing | Barcode includes price or weight |
Use Case | High-volume meat/seafood departments |

Here’s how to confirm it:

To ensure compatibility and accurate scans:
Mark your Clover products as Variable Price Type in Inventory
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU programmed into the AW-5600
Install the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app based on the barcode structure
Once setup is complete, Clover will auto-fill product and pricing based on a single scan.
