CR2 is a revolutionary new bar and 2-dimensional code reader. Developed to be the first universal
reader, no other single device performs as many functions. With a cost of ownership far less than
comparable systems, the CR2 incorporates a unique dual path optical system, a 1.3 million pixel
CMOS sensor, and a 400 MHz processor. This combination has created a reading system that supports:
• High density matrix codes and larger low density linear codes
• Superior working range
• High-speed omni-directional decoding
• Cordless and cabled interfaces
• Unsurpassed data rates
The CR2 sets a new benchmark for size and weight.
It is smaller and lighter than comparable systems yet
can withstand multiple drops to concrete. It is the only
product available in handheld, gun handle, and
presentation stand form factors with cabled, batch
and cordless versions. The cordless version utilizes
the latest Bluetooth™ class 1 radio with a 300 foot
operating range. The CR2 is rugged and lightweight
and the cordless version will operate for more than
a complete shift at the highest use rate. The CR2
performs more than 3000 reads and transmits from a
single battery charge. The CR2 will automatically
discriminate between all major 2-D matrix and linear
bar code symbologies and features a timestamp
feature for logging data.
Whether you need a small, palm-held device or a traditional gun, CR2 was specifically developed
so users may easily choose the device that best meets their needs. The CR2 is available in three
basic configurations:
1. CR2 Cabled - USB, RS232 or PS/2 interfaces
2. CR2 Batch - Store and forward device with memory and long-life battery
3. CR2 Cordless - Long life battery and Bluetooth radio

1.2 - Unpacking
Remove the imager from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged
during shipping, please call Code at (801) 495-2200.
The standard CR2 unit is shipped with a USB cable interface. The unit also features a battery
blank that must be installed in the unit at all times.
Various accessories are available for the CR2.
• 3 cable options (USB, RS232 or PS/2)
• 1400 mAH or 1950 mAH long-life Lithium-Ion battery
• Class 1 Bluetooth radio with 300 foot operating range
• Clip-on pistol grip handle
• External battery charger
• CodeXML Bluetooth modem
Please keep your packing materials. The CR2 is shipped in an approved shipping
container and should be used if you ever need to return your equipment for servicing.
The CR2 utilizes digital camera technology to take a picture of a symbol. Once an image is captured,
the CR2 utilizes advanced decoding algorithms to extract data from the captured image.
The CR2 is available as a palm-held unit or users may purchase a clip-on pistol-grip handle.
The palm held unit features left and right triggers (figure 1.1). These triggers may be programmed to
perform various features. The reader is shipped with the left trigger and right trigger functioning as a
decode symbol command.
The clip-on pistol-grip handle features a trigger on the handle (figure 1.2). The two triggers on the top
of the unit also work when the handle is attached.
1.3 - Targeting and Reading Techniques
Note: The trigger on the handle attachment is light.
Squeezing to hard may damage the unit.
