Mettler Toledo Impact M & Impact S Compatibility with Clover POS
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
