Hi all, I have CAS LP1000 scales that only give UPC A barcodes. how do i configure these items in Square to read at my POS? i seem to be able to get everything to read item except it asks for the weight of the item.

Hey @canaveralmeat — congratulations on your first post! Welcome to the Square Community! 🎉

Take a look at this support article and see if it helps. Just a heads up, I don’t see that scale on the compatibility list, so that could be why you’re experiencing some issues. If the article doesn’t solve it, please reach back out with a bit more detail on what you’re trying to accomplish. Are you hoping the scale will read your items directly?

I really want to help, and getting a clearer picture of your goal will make that much easier.

Hi @canaveralmeat 

I'm the founder of a small software company called Filljoy focused on POS-integrated weighing software and labeling. We've been working on a new touchscreen label printing scale that syncs seamlessly with your Square catalog. 

We showed a preview of this at the NRF conference earlier this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lcklMPjxF8

We already have a Shopify-integrated version of this scale being used at over 50 store locations across North America, and we're exploring whether there’s enough demand from sellers for a similar integration with Square.

If you currently use label printing scales (CAS, DIGI, Bizerba, etc.) and are interested in what we're building, we invite you to fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/qyfT3W4B4SaHTmpA6
