Shipping Scales That Connect to Your Computer

For businesses using PC-based shipping software, a compatible USB shipping scale can help streamline parcel processing and reduce manual weight entry. The OHAUS Courier 5000 and Courier 7000 provide computer connectivity options for supported workflows.

How Computer-Connected Parcel Weighing Works

Step 1 – Connect: Connect the shipping scale to a compatible computer using its supported interface.

Step 2 – Weigh: Place the parcel onto the weighing platform and allow the weight reading to stabilise.

Step 3 – Capture: Compatible shipping software receives the weight and uses it within the shipment processing or courier label workflow.

Shipping Software Integration

Businesses using UPS WorldShip, ShipStation, StarShip, FedEx shipping systems and other courier applications may require a scale that communicates directly with their software.

The OHAUS Courier 5000 includes USB connectivity and a UPS communication protocol. The Courier 7000 supports USB HID and CDC communication, RS232 and optional networking interfaces.

Compatibility depends on the shipping application, software version, interface and communication protocol. Simply connecting a USB shipping scale does not guarantee that parcel weights will automatically populate every application.

Important Integration Advice: Before purchasing a shipping scale for ShipStation, UPS WorldShip, StarShip or another shipping platform, confirm that the software supports the exact OHAUS model, communication interface and required configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an OHAUS Courier scale automatically send weights to a computer?

Yes, with compatible software. The Courier 5000 provides USB communication while the Courier 7000 also supports USB HID. The software must support the required communication protocol.

What is a USB HID shipping scale?

USB HID stands for USB Human Interface Device. Compatible shipping software can communicate with a HID-supported scale through a standard USB interface, often without requiring a separate scale driver.

The Courier 5000 includes a UPS communication protocol and the Courier 7000 provides advanced shipping system integration capabilities. Confirm the exact software version and configuration before purchase.
