Ishida Uni-5 Compatibility with Clover POS
Ishida Uni-5 Compatibility with Clover POS
Pole and bench display models fully supported—barcode format determines CSI Works app
Question
A small grocer recently installed the Ishida Uni-5 scale to print barcode labels for weighed items like cheese, seafood, and deli cuts. Whether it’s the bench-top model or the version with a pole-mounted display, they want to confirm compatibility with Clover POS. The only unknown is whether the barcode includes the total price or weight. Will the system work?
Answer
Yes—the Ishida Uni-5 scale is compatible with Clover POS when paired with the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app. These scales can be configured to print barcodes that include either total price or total weight, and CSI Works apps support both formats seamlessly.
Choose your app based on the barcode format your scale is set to use:
-
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for barcodes that embed the total price
-
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for barcodes that embed the total weight
🔁 Uni-5 Configuration Options
The Uni-5 is available in different form factors, but barcode behavior remains the same.
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Bench Model | Screen integrated into the base |
| Pole Model | Elevated customer-facing display |
Both are equally compatible with Clover POS via CSI Works apps.
🧠 Which Barcode Parser App Should You Use?

⚙️ Clover Inventory Setup Tips
To ensure everything runs smoothly with Clover:
-
Mark items in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
-
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU from the scale
-
Install the CSI Works parser app that corresponds to your barcode type
With this setup, barcodes will scan directly into the Clover Register app, populating both product and pricing details automatically.
