CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 6CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 7The 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 “gun format” handle. The palm held unit features left and right buttons (gure 1.1). These buttons may be programmed to perform various features (see section 4.8). The reader is shipped with the left button and right button functioning as a decode symbol command. The “gun format” handle features a trigger on the handle (gure 1.2). The two triggers on the top of the unit also work when the handle is attached. To read a symbol with the CR2: 1. The CR2 features omnidirectional decoding. Center the symbol in any orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern (gure 1.3). Note: The CR2 can read a symbol that is not centered however, the CR2 performs best when a code is centered. If two (2) bar codes are with the imagers decode zone, the CR2 will decode the symbol closest to the center of the aiming dot. 1.5 - Targeting and Reading TechniquesFigure 1.1Figure 1.3Figure 1.2
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 8CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 91.5 - Targeting and Reading Techniques (con’t)2. The CR2 was developed to decode both very small 2-dimensional symbols and larger 1-dimensional symbols. The unit features two imagers to create an innovative dual decode zone. The CR2 features a high speed processor and DECODES BOTH ZONES SIMULTANEOUSLY. The unit has one imager focused on a near-eld for smaller codes (optimal focal point is 4 inches) and one imager focused on a far-eld for larger codes (optimal focal point 9 inches). To read smaller symbols move the CR2 closer to the symbol. To read larger symbols move the unit farther away from the symbol (see gure 1.4). The entire CR2 decode zone varies between two (2”) and twenty (20+”) or more inches.3. Hold the Code Reader still - DO NOT SWIPE OR MOVE THE READER. Press the trigger until the CR2 beeps, indicating the bar code has been successfully decoded.Figure 1.4

The RS-232 interface should have come with a power supply. Plug the power supply adapter into the RS-232 interface cable (gure 2.7) and then plug the power adapter into a wall socket (gure 2.8). If you are using the 1300 mA or 1800 mA battery for batch mode, the CR2 will recharge the battery whenever the unit is a attached to a RS-232 cable that is plugged into a wall socket. 5. Power up the host. 6. The CR2 will power on automatically. 7. Scan the following code to set reader into RS-232 / Serial communication mode. Note: You may also scan the code on page 47 of the CR2 User’s Manual. 8. Your CR2 unit should be ready for use. Open the application you wish to send data and begin scanning.Figure 2.6 Figure 2.7 Figure 2.8Figure 2.4 Figure 2.5
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 14CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 152.2 - Installation Guide - Batch InterfaceThe CR2 unit features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader. Batch mode allows a user to store scanned data to the reader’s non-volatile memory. The user may transfer the data to a host computer when needed. To utilize batch functionality you will need to purchase the 1300 mA or 1800 mA Lithium Ion battery from a Code representative.How Batch Mode WorksThe CR2 unit will automatically detect when the USB cable is detached or the Bluetooth® radio is out of range and will switch into batch mode. CR2 units featuring RS-232 interfaces have to be programmed to enter batch mode by scanning a code (see section 4.6). When the reader is reconnected to your host computer or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range and the user scans another code or the specic transfer data code, (Users may also program a button in section 4.6 to transfer data) the reader will transfer scanned data. Once transferred, the scanned data is immediately erased from the readers memory.Batch Mode FeedbackAfter a successful scan in batch mode the unit will beep once and the battery LED will ash amber and the memory LED will ash either green, red or amber depending on memory level. For more information on CR2 feedback see section 2.6. Note: The CR2 dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB. To determine the number of reads that may be stored, divide the average bytes of a scan into the total minimum memory.Figure 2.9
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 14CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 15Batch Programming ModesThe CR2 can be programmed to operate in two (2) other operating modes: 1. Manual Erase Mode - In manual erase mode, when the reader Is reconnected to your host computer or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range and the user scans another code or the specic transfer data code (Users may also program a button in section 4.6 to transfer data) the reader will transfer scanned data. However, once the readers memory has been transferred, the user must scan a specic code to erase the units memory (see section 4.6). If you enter batch mode again without erasing the data, the new scanned data will be added to the existing data. Note: Once the unit is plugged back into a cable or enters within radio range, any data scanned WILL NOT be saved to the non-volatile memory. The only data that will be saved is the data scanned while in batch mode. 2. Send and Store Mode - In send and store mode, the reader will automatically try to transfer scanned data everytime a new code is scanned. In parallel, the unit will also store a copy of all scanned data on the unit’s non-volatile memory. If the readers memory has been transferred to a host computer all scanned data will still reside on the units memory until the user scans a specic code to erase the memory. Note: All scanned data WILL be saved to the non-volatile memory even if a cable is attached or the radio is within range. 2.2 - Installation Guide - Batch Interface (con’t)
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 16CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 172.2 - Installation Guide - Cordless InterfaceOverviewThe CR2 features an add-on Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for point to point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth radio replaces the cord, allowing for 300 feet or more of operating range if you are connecting with another Class 1 device. A typical set-up to link the CR2 unit to a desktop or a laptop computer would require purchasing an attachable USB Bluetooth radio. For more detailed instructions on connecting with approved Bluetooth enabled devices please see Appendix A.The CR2 stores a memory of 256 devices it has established a connection with. Code makes it simple to reconnect with these devices. If you wish set up a network of readers or devices please see Appendix B “Setting up a Network of Bluetooth Devices”. The following guide will give you general instructions on connecting your CR2 to a desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth Radio antennae. Each brand of attachable radio will have unique connection manager software however, the process of getting connected is very similar. You should be able to follow these general steps and establish a connection.If you have questions with your connection please call Code Technical Support at 1-801-495-2200.Creating a Bonded RelationshipWhen you create a bonded relationship you are establishing that your devices know each other and will connect directly after the rst encounter. Bonding is also often refferred to as pairing. To create a bonded relationship with another Bluetooth device you must get the Bluetooth Radio PIN # of your CR2. The Bluetooth PIN # is the same as your units serial #. The serial number is located underneath the battery on the CR2 specication sticker or you can scan the Reader ID code on page 52 of the CR2 User’s Manual. THE BLUETOOTH PIN # FOR BETA UNITS IS: 12345678. 1. To minimize connection interference, turn off all other Bluetooth devices in the area. 2. Open the connection manager software on the device you wish to connect to and select the following settings: • Bluetooth radio is enabled • Low Security - Discoverable by all devices • Enable serial port prole
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 16CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 172.2 - Installation Guide - Cordless Interface (con’t) Note: Your CR2 unit will function as the master (head device) in a group of enabled devices. Other devices are referred to as slave devices. It is very important to understand that the CR2 will have precedence over other devices. The CR2 units are shipped with the authentication and encryption security feature disabled. When making initial contact with another device, you must have the authentication and encryption functionality disabled on the slave device you are connecting to. 3. Scan the Reset code then scan the Enable Radio code below: Reset to Factory Defaults Enable Radio (RF) 4. With your CR2, scan the “pairing” command code, then scan the “inquire and connect” command code. The CR2 will search and automatically request to bond with activated devices. Enable Pairing Inquire and Connect 5. When the desired slave device prompts for a pin, type in your CR2 Bluetooth PIN #. 6. The CR2 should now be added to the slave devices bonded list. 7. Once you have established a connection, you must make sure the device is set to a serial port prole. On your host, right click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Open Properties. Under the Hardware tab select Device Manager button. Click on the appropriate device and set to the following settings:
CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 18CR2 User’s Manual Draft_022803_AS - 19 8. You must also set up your application software to a serial port prole. 9. If encryption is desired, disconnect then scan “enable encryption” then scan “inquire and connect”. Be prepared to type the PIN again. Disconnect Enable Encryption Note: Code strongly suggests that each slave device be enabled to connect only with devices in its bonded/paired list. This action will preclude unwanted outside connections, including hostile connection attempts. . You may have to repeat the process. Reasons why connection may not occur are: • Device is out of range or the Bluetooth radios is turned off • The desired device is already connected to another device • CR2 is not in bonded list • CR2 has incorrect Bluetooth address or link key, or both associated with the desired device list numberTransferring DataThe application software on the desired device must be running. As codes are read, they will automatically transmit to the application.DisconnectingDisconnection is commanded by CR2 by reading the disconnect code below. The CR2 will not appear disconnected in the slave Bluetooth connection manager for 10 – 15 seconds after the command is issued. Disconnect2.2 - Installation Guide - Cordless Interface (con’t)
