6’ USB

Straight Cable

8’ RS232 Coiled Cable w/ Power Supply

2.0 - Powering On/Off the Reader

For USB: to power up the reader, simply plug the USB cable provided into the reader and USB port on the host device. After several seconds, the unit will beep twice, the LED will turn off and the CR1400 is ready for use.

For RS232: to power up the reader, simply plug the RS232 cable provided into the reader, plug the Power Supply into the AC outlet, plug the power supply cord into the barrel jack on the cable, and lastly connect the cable to the appropriate serial port on the host device.

After several seconds, the unit will beep twice, the LED will turn off and the CR1400 is ready for use.

C006819_02_CR1400_User_Manual 1

4.0 - Using a CR1400 Out of a Universal Stand

Press and hold the trigger on the the CR1400, the two blue bars emitting from the reader are used for targeting. Center the blue bars in the middle of a bar code. The optimal reading distance from reader to bar code is approximately 4.0” (10 cm).

Once the reader is at the optimal distance, the reader will automatically read the bar code. The CR1400 will beep, vibrate and flash a green LED to indicate a ‘good read’ has occurred.

To modify any default settings, download the CR1400 Configuration Guide at www.codecorp.com/files.php and scan the appropriate code.

5.0 - Using a CR1400 in a Universal Stand

Revision 2 of the CR1400 features both in-stand and out-of-stand scanning modes. By default, when the CR1400 is placed in the stand, the unit enters a motion detection mode where simply placing a bar code in the scan field will automatically activate the reader. The CR1400 will beep and flash the Green LED on a good read.

When the CR1400 is removed from the stand, the device switches to manual mode and the button must be pressed to activate the reader. In manual mode, the CR1400 will beep, vibrate and flash the Green LED on a good read.

To turn off the ‘in stand’ motion detection mode, download the CR1400

Configuration Guide at www.codecorp.com/files.php and scan the appropriate code.

16.0 - CR1400 Maintentance

The CR1400 device operates efficiently and reliably and needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate.

A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions.

Cleaning the CR1400

The CR1400 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of the reader. Do not touch the window. Your CR1400 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty window may stop the CR1400 from reading bar codes.

If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened cloth or tissue after using the detergent.

The following agents are approved to clean a Code bar code reader:

1) Alcohol Wipes

2) CaviWipes® Disenfecting Towlettes

3) Clorox® Disenfecting Wipes

4) Clorox Bleach Solution (10% clorox bleach, 90% tap water)

5) Medical DiAirKem

6) Sani-Cloth® HB, Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal, Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal Disposable Wipes

7) Virex® II Disinfectant Cleaner

Technical Support and Returns

For returns or technical support call Code Technical Support at (801) 495-2200. For all returns Code will issue an RMA number which must be placed on the packing slip when the reader is returned.
