Both models are supported—barcode format determines the CSI Works app
Question
A specialty grocer is evaluating the Mettler Toledo Impact M scale for weighing and labeling deli products. Meanwhile, another store already uses the Impact S model. Both merchants are using Clover POS and want to ensure the scales will integrate for fast label scanning at checkout. But neither knows whether their barcodes contain price or weight. Will it still work?
Answer
Yes—both the Mettler Toledo Impact M and Impact S scales are fully compatible with Clover POS when used with the appropriate CSI Works barcode parser app. These models print barcodes that can be configured to contain either the total price or the total weight, and CSI Works supports both formats.
To complete the integration, merchants should select the correct app based on how their barcode is programmed:
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for barcodes with total price
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for barcodes with total weight
These two Impact models differ mainly in user interface and workflow, but both are capable of generating barcoded labels compatible with Clover when paired with CSI Works apps.
Model | Interface Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
Impact S | Tactile keypad | Compact & retail-focused |
Impact M | Touchscreen display | Supports more advanced inputs |
Barcode Format | Use This CSI Works App |
---|---|
Barcode contains total price | Variable Price Barcode Parser |
Barcode contains total weight | Weight Embedded Barcode Parser |
Here’s how to check:
Print a test label from your Impact M or Impact S scale
Review the barcode: does it contain the price or the weight?
Still unsure? Send us a photo of the label and we’ll identify the format for you
To ensure full functionality:
Set each item in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU used in the scale
Install the correct CSI Works app based on the barcode format your scale produces
Once setup is complete, scanning the label at checkout will instantly populate the product and price or weight.
