Code Reader 1500
The Code Reader™ 1500 (CR1500) is a compact, rugged, tethered barcode reader that features a high-performance scan engine, patented dual-field optical platform, and intuitive targeting that makes reading 1D, 2D, and postal barcodes extremely fast and reliable. Initially built for healthcare and industrial environments, this reader is ready to thrive in other environments just as demanding like retail.
The CR1500 (healthcare version in light grey) is built with a CodeShield® Level 3 disinfectant-ready housing. It is PVC-free, and IP54 rated, protecting the components of the CR1500 against harsh chemical cleaning agents, dust, and water ingress. The robust housing is even built to withstand multiple drops to concrete.
The CR1500 (industrial/retail version in dark gray) is built to overcome the real-world challenges that present in industrial operations. The CR1500 can read poor-quality codes printed on varied surfaces, laser-etched direct part marks during the manufacturing process, or barcodes as small as 2 mils (DPM decoding available via additional licensing).
No matter your system requirements, Code's unique JavaScript platform provides unlimited customization options to meet your application needs. The compact yet durable 2D scanner has a proprietary microprocessor designed for super-fast image processing and best-in-class decoding. The CR1500 is the barcode reader of choice for all your challenging data collection needs.
