Label printing scale for high-volume retail—barcode format determines CSI Works app
Question
A grocery chain is implementing the Digi DPS-5600 in its backroom prep stations for meat, deli, and seafood. This unit handles high-speed weighing and label printing, and the stores use Clover POS at checkout. However, the team is unsure whether the barcode generated by the DPS-5600 includes total price or total weight. Can this unit integrate with Clover?
Answer
Yes—the Digi DPS-5600 is fully compatible with Clover POS when paired with one of CSI Works’ barcode parser apps. The DPS-5600 can be configured to embed either price or weight in its barcode labels, and both formats are supported for seamless Clover Register scanning.
To enable integration, install the CSI Works parser app that matches your barcode setup:
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for barcodes with total price
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for barcodes with total weight
The DPS-5600 is a powerful, high-throughput weigh-and-label system designed for fresh food prep areas. It excels in meat rooms, seafood counters, and deli environments where packaging and barcoding need to move quickly and accurately.

To ensure Clover Register scans accurately:
Mark items as Variable Price Type in Clover Inventory
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU on the DPS-5600
Install the correct CSI Works parser app depending on the barcode structure
Once configured, a single scan populates both the item and amount directly into Clover.
