Frequently Asked Questions - CR1400 Code Corporation

How do I connect the CR1400 to my computer?

Connect the included USB cable to the scanner and your computer. The scanner will be recognized as a USB HID device. For serial emulation, install the provided driver and select CDC mode using configuration barcodes.

What barcode symbologies does the CR1400 support?

It supports all major 1D symbologies (UPC, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, etc.) and 2D symbologies (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, etc.).

How do I configure the scanner settings?

Use the configuration barcodes included in the user manual. Scan the 'Enter Setup' barcode, then scan specific commands to adjust parameters like beep volume, suffix, or symbology enable/disable.

Why is my scanner not reading barcodes?

Check the following: 1) Make sure the scanner is properly connected. 2) Clean the lens with a soft cloth. 3) Ensure the barcode is not damaged or dirty. 4) Verify the barcode symbology is enabled. 5) Try scanning a test barcode from the manual.

Can the CR1400 read barcodes from a phone screen?

Yes, the CR1400 is designed to read digital barcodes from electronic displays. Adjust brightness and distance for optimal performance.

How do I reset the CR1400 to factory defaults?

Scan the 'Restore Factory Defaults' configuration barcode. This will reset all settings to their original values. You can find this barcode in the user manual under the configuration section.

Is the CR1400 compatible with my POS system?

The CR1400 appears as a standard keyboard wedge device. It works with any system that accepts USB HID input. For compatibility with specific software, check if the software supports USB barcode scanners.

How do I clean and maintain the scanner?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol to clean the exterior and lens. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Avoid immersing the scanner in liquids.

What does the LED indicator mean?

Solid red: scanner is powering up. Green flash: successful scan. Rapid blinking: error or low battery (if wireless version). Consult the manual for specific LED patterns.

Can I use the scanner wirelessly?

1.0 - Unpacking

Remove the CR1400 from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the reader was damaged during shipping, please call Code at [phone].

Depending on the kit ordered, a USB or RS232 Affinity® cable has been included with your reader.

2.0 - Attaching and Detaching a Cable

To attach a cable, plug the RJ-50 end of the Affinity® cable into bottom of the reader handle (Figure 1). Firmly push the connector into the reader, until a snap can be heard to indicate the cable is properly attached. To detach a cable, press a paper clip into the hole on the side of the CR1400 handle (Figure 2), and gently pull the cable from the reader.

3.0 - Powering On/Off the Reader

For USB Cable: plug the USB end of the Affinity® cable into a USB port on the host device. After several seconds, the reader will beep twice, the reader will vibrate, and the LED will turn off to indicate the CR1400 is ready for use.

For RS232 Cable: plug the power supply into the AC outlet, plug the power supply cord into the barrel jack of the cable, and connect the RS232 connector to the appropriate serial port on the host device. After several seconds, the reader will beep twice, the reader will vibrate and the LED will turn off to indicate the CR1400 is ready for use.

4.0 - Using a CR1400 Out of a Universal Stand

Press and hold the CR1400 trigger, 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 read the bar code. The CR1400 will beep, flash a green LED and vibrate 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 Hardware of the CR1400 has a stand detection feature. By default, when the CR1400 is placed in the stand, the reader will automatically enter into motion detection mode. When in this mode, simply place a bar code in the scan field to activate the reader. The CR1400 will beep and flash a green LED to indicate a 'good read' has occurred.

When the CR1400 is removed from the stand, the reader switches to manual mode and the trigger must be pressed to read a bar code (refer to Section 4.0).

Revision 1 Hardware of the CR1400 does not have an automatic stand detection feature to enable motion detection reading when the CR1400 is in a stand. To configure this hardware revision for motion detection scanning, please refer to the CR1400 Configuration Guide, located at www.codecorp.com/files.php and scan the appropriate code.

16.0 - CR1400 Maintentance

The CR1400 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® Disinfecting Towlettes
3) Clorox® Disinfecting 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 [phone]. For all returns Code will issue an RMA number which must be placed on the packing slip when the reader is returned.
