Ishida Uni-7 Compatibility with Clover POS
Ishida Uni-7 Compatibility with Clover POS
Works with both pole and bench configurations—barcode format determines CSI Works app
Question
A specialty market is using the Ishida Uni-7 scale (also previously branded under Rice Lake) to print barcode labels for products like olives, meats, and bulk goods. The scale is available in both bench-top and pole display formats. The merchant uses Clover POS and wants to scan these barcodes at checkout, but they’re not sure whether the barcode includes total price or weight. Can it be done?
Answer
Yes—the Ishida Uni-7 scale, regardless of whether it's the pole or bench configuration, is fully compatible with Clover POS when used with one of CSI Works’ barcode parser apps. These scales can be configured to embed either total price or total weight in the barcode—and both formats are supported.
To complete the setup, choose the appropriate CSI Works app based on your barcode type:
-
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for price-embedded barcodes
-
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for weight-embedded barcodes
🔁 Uni-7 Configuration Options
The Ishida Uni-7 comes in multiple display formats, but all versions produce scannable barcode labels with the same integration process.
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Bench Model | Integrated display on the body |
| Pole Model | Raised, dual-facing customer display |
Both configurations use identical barcode formatting options.
🧠 Which Barcode Parser App Should You Use?
| Barcode Format | Use This CSI Works App |
|---|---|
| Barcode contains total price | Variable Price Barcode Parser |
| Barcode contains total weight | Weight Embedded Barcode Parser |
