Torrey W-Label Scale Compatibility with Clover POS
Understanding which CSI Works Barcode Parser App to use based on your scale settings
Question
A deli owner recently purchased a Torrey W-Label scale to streamline pricing and labeling for products like Jamón Serrano. The scale prints barcode labels, which they intend to scan directly into Clover POS. However, they want to know which CSI Works Clover app to use—Variable Price Barcode Parser or Weight Embedded Barcode Parser—and how to ensure compatibility. Can they use this scale with Clover, and how should they configure everything?
Answer
Yes, the Torrey W-Label scale is fully compatible with Clover POS when paired with the appropriate CSI Works barcode parsing app. The choice between Variable Price Barcode Parser and Weight Embedded Barcode Parser depends on how the scale is configured to print its barcodes.
Here’s how to determine compatibility:
🔍 Step 1: Identify the Barcode Format
Look at a sample label printed by the Torrey W-Label scale. Here is an example:
This label contains:
-
Weight: 2.35 lb
-
Price per lb: $6.79
-
Total price: $15.96
-
Barcode: Encodes the item code and total price (not weight)
In this case, the total price is embedded in the barcode. This means the scale is producing price-embedded barcodes.
✅ Use This App If Your Barcode Contains Total Price:
Variable Price Barcode Parser
This app reads barcodes where the total price is embedded and finds the correct item in Clover’s inventory based on the barcode's product code.
✅ Use This App If Your Barcode Contains Total Weight:
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser
This app reads barcodes where the weight is embedded and calculates the total price based on the Clover inventory’s price/lb.
🧠 Tip: Scale Setup Matters
The Torrey W-Label scale is programmable. You can configure it to embed either price or weight in the barcode. The barcode parser app you use must match this setup. Most users stick with the default, which is price embedded, but check with your scale technician or manual to confirm or change the settings.
🛠️ Clover Inventory Setup
Regardless of which app you use, you must:
-
Set the corresponding item in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
-
Ensure the product code on the label matches the PRODUCT CODE in Clover
