Ishida Uni-8 Compatibility with Clover POS
All configurations supported—barcode format determines CSI Works app
Question
A high-end grocer is using the Ishida Uni-8 scale to print barcode labels for their seafood and deli departments. This scale comes in a wide variety of configurations—bench-top, pole display, hanging, and even self-service kiosk style. Regardless of format, the business runs Clover POS and wants to scan labels at checkout—but they’re unsure whether their barcode includes total price or weight. Is Uni-8 fully compatible?
Answer
Yes—the Ishida Uni-8 Series is fully compatible with Clover POS when paired with the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app. Regardless of the hardware configuration, the Uni-8 can be programmed to print either price-embedded or weight-embedded barcodes—both of which are supported by CSI Works.
To ensure accurate scanning into Clover’s Register app, just install the CSI Works app that matches your barcode format:
-
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for barcodes that embed the total price
-
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for barcodes that embed the total weight
🔁 Uni-8 Configuration Variants
The Uni-8 comes in multiple hardware options, all of which function the same in terms of barcode output and label printing.
| Configuration Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Bench-top | Compact, flat with built-in display |
| Pole Display | Screen elevated on customer-facing pole |
| Hanging | Suspended for meat/seafood environments |
| Self-Service / Kiosk | Touchscreen version for customer use |
No matter the form factor, barcode integration with Clover is handled the same way.
🧠 Which Barcode Parser App Should You Use?
