2.0 - Aaching and Detaching a Cable
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 Anity® cable has been included with your reader.
USB Anity® Cable RS232 Anity® Cable
w/ Power Supply
For USB Cable: plug the USB end of the Anity® cable into a USB port on the host device. Aer several seconds, the reader will beep
twice, the reader will vibrate, and the LED will turn o 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. Aer several seconds, the reader will beep twice, the reader
will vibrate and the LED will turn o to indicate the CR1400 is ready for use.
To aach a cable, plug the RJ-50 end of the Anity® cable into boom of the reader handle (Figure 1). Firmly push the connector into
the reader, unl a snap can be heard to indicate the cable is properly aached. 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.

4.0 - Using a CR1400 Out of a Universal Stand
Press and hold the CR1400 trigger, the two blue bars eming from
the reader are used for targeng. Center the blue bars in the middle
of a bar code. The opmal reading distance from reader to bar code is
approximately 4.0” (10 cm).
Once the reader is at the opmal distance, the reader will read the bar
code. The CR1400 will beep, ash a green LED and vibrate to indicate a
‘good read’ has occurred.
5.0 - Using a CR1400 in a Universal Stand
Revision 2 Hardware of the CR1400 has a stand detecon feature. By default,
when the CR1400 is placed in the stand, the reader will automacally enter
into moon detecon mode. When in this mode, simply place a bar code in the
scan eld to acvate the reader. The CR1400 will beep and ash 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 Secon 4.0).
Revision 1 Hardware of the CR1400 does not have an automac stand detecon
feature to enable moon detecon reading when the CR1400 is in a stand. To
congure this hardware revision for moon detecon scanning, please refer to
the CR1400 Conguraon Guide, located at www.codecorp.com/les.php and
scan the appropriate code.

See Secon 10.0 to learn how to determine your CR1400
hardware revision number.
To modify any default sengs, download the CR1400 Conguraon Guide
at www.codecorp.com/les.php and scan the appropriate code.

15.0 - Reader Pinouts
The connector on the CR1400 is an RJ-50 (10P-10C). The pinouts are as follows:
Pin 1 +VIN (5v)
Pin 2 USB_DM
Pin 3 USB_DP
Pin 4 RS232 TX (output from reader)
Pin 5 RS232 RTS (output from reader)
Pin 6 RS232 RX (input to reader)
Pin 7 RS232 CTS (input to reader)
Pin 8 External Trigger (acve low input to reader)
Pin 9 N/C
Pin 10 Ground
The CR1400 needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate. A few ps are given below for maintenance suggesons.
Cleaning the CR1400
The CR1400 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plasc 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 so, non-abrasive cloth or a facial ssue (no loons or addives) 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 ssue aer using the detergent.
The following agents are approved to clean a Code bar code reader:
• Alcohol Wipes
• Clorox® Disinfecng Wipes
• Clorox Bleach Soluon (10% clorox bleach, 90% tap water)
• Medical DiAirKem
• Sani-Cloth® HB, Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal, Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal Disposable Wipes
• 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.
