1.2 – SKU Descriptions
The Code Reader™ 8000 (CR8000) is a patented, high performance,
miniature barcode imaging engine. The CR8000 continues Code’s legacy
of dual optical fields - while most devices have a single field enhanced for
a specific application, the CR8000 has both a high density field for reading
the smallest of barcodes, and a wide angle field for reading oversized
barcodes giving you two readers in one.
The CR8000 includes Code’s Glare Reduction Technology. Barcodes printed
on shiny or reflective surfaces have typically been problematic for imaging-
based barcode readers. Code has overcome this challenge with a patented
process that significantly reduces the reflections, thus making the barcodes
easily identifiable. In addition, the CR8000 supports the integration and
control of additional illumination blocks or elements. Example applications
that benefit from the expanded illumination are document scanning and
direct part marking.
For mechanical integration, a variety of mounting options are available
including tabs, blind through-holes, and mounting brackets for both the
Scan Engine and the decode board. The CR8000 communicates via RS232
or USB protocols.
Applications for the CR8000 include Medical Devices, ATMs, Price-Lookup,
Lottery, Age Verification, Direct Part Marking, Point of Sale, Self-Service
Kiosks and more.

2.9 – Enclosure Specifications
Non-Threaded Mounting Holes
There are two 2.50 mm diameter non-threaded
mounting holes on the CR8000 bracket,
shown below.
1. The enclosure for the CR8000 should be sufficiently large enough
to accommodate the engine and allow air flow to maintain safe
temperatures. The enclosure should minimize infiltration by
airborne contaminants and foreign materials.
2. The CR8000 must not come in contact with water.
3. The CR8000 is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and must be
handled appropriately. Any individual that handles the CR8000 should
be grounded using a wrist strap and ESD protected work area and
work surface.
4. The warranty of the CR8000 is void if the recommendations above are
not followed when handling or integrating the device.
Threaded Mounting Holes
There are four M2 threaded mounting holes
on the CR8000 bracket, shown below. We
recommend using a M2X5 machine screw
for mounting.

3.1 – Window Requirements
3 - Optical Considerations
When integrating the CR8000 into your device or application, it may be
necessary to install a window in front of the optics of the Scan Engine.
Although many different types of materials can be considered, Code makes
the following recommendations.
Placement: Contact to 0.5 mm away from the face of the Scan Engine,
parallel to engine face
Material: Optically clear acrylic
Thickness: 1 mm or less
If your design constraints prevent the window from being mounted within
0.5 mm of the face of the engine, Code recommends an anti-reflective
(AR) coating be applied to both window surfaces (front and back). The AR
coating must have less than 3% reflectance from 400nm to 1000nm.
The window must be wide and tall enough so the surrounding enclosure
does not block any of the illumination from the LEDs. The following diagram
illustrates the field of illumination that must be unobstructed
by the edges of the window aperture.

4.2 – Electrical System Block Diagram
4.1 – System Requirements
4 - Electrical Specifications
The CR8000 Decoded Scan Engine is a complete barcode scanning
system that can be easily integrated into any device.
The block diagram below shows the main components of the system
(CR8011/8012).
Power Supply: The CR8000 is powered from the host via the Vin and Gnd
pins. Vin must be within the range specified in Section 4.15 when measured
at the decoding board. Vin must be maintained with varying loads, such as
when the illumination is turned ON and OFF.
Host Ribbon Cable (FFC) (CR8011 and CR8012): The impedance of
the cable for the USB data lines should be 90 ohm differential. For 3.3V
operation, a Ribbon Cable of no more than 6.0" in length can be used with a
0.28 mm (0.011") trace width and 0.3 mm trace thickness.
Scan Engine to Decode Board Flex Cable (FPC): When leveraging a
non-bracketed design, care should be taken to alleviate bend stress on the
Flex Cable, which could lead to damage of that cable. The minimum bend
radius for this cable is 2.0 mm. Drawings can be provided upon request to
aid in design. Flex Cable length should not exceed 6.0".
Power Sequencing: There is no special power sequence needed for the
CR8000 as long as the max and min voltage and current specifications are
met. However, if the voltage on a pin is greater than Vin, such as
when powering on, then current will flow from the pin to Vin through
the pull up resistors.
Thermal Requirements: The operating temperature range for the CR8000 is
-20ºC to 55 ºC (-4ºF to 131ºF) ambient air.

control the reader and get certain status information via hardware signals. A
brief description of each signal is given in this Section. For additional details
on the interaction and timing of these signals, refer to the Timing Diagrams
and Tables in the Sections that follow. To get more information on register
functions, refer to the Interface Configuration Document (ICD), available on
the Code website (www.codecorp.com).
Pin 8 - Power Down (output): The PwrDwn line is used to indicate the
operational state of the reader. PwrDwn will be asserted HIGH when the
CR8000 has switched to the sleep state. PwrDwn will transition back to the
LOW state when the CR8000 is not in the sleep state. The different power
modes are described in more detail in the Section 4.7.
Pin 9 – Beeper (output): The nBeeper line is used to indicate a successful
decode, completion of the boot process, errors, and certain other conditions
or events. nBeeper can be configured to transition to a LOW state for a
specified length of time or to output a series of pulses of a specified duration
on a successful decode or on certain error conditions. The duration of
this signal can be set with register 0x59. Default behavior for this signal is
one “beep” for a good decode, two “beeps” for a successful configuration
barcode read, and four beeps if a configuration was not applied successfully.
Pin 10 - Good Read (output): The nGoodRead line is used to indicate
a successful decode. Upon the completion of a successful scan and
decode, the nGoodRead line will be asserted LOW. The length of
nGoodRead assertion can be set with register 0x1EA.
Pin 11 – Wakeup (input): The nWakeUp line is used to change the state
of the reader from Sleep to Idle. Once the CR8000 has entered the sleep
state, it may be awakened by asserting nWakeUp with a LOW pulse. Note
that nWakeUp must be HIGH when the CR8000 enters the sleep state in
order for nWakeUp to awaken the CR8000 on assertion. Also note that when
the sleep state is not being used, this pin should be left open, not tied low.
Please note that the Sleep state is only valid for CR8012.
Pin 12 – Trigger (input): The nTrigger line is used to activate the reader.
To activate the CR8000, pull the nTrigger line LOW. This is normally used to
cause the reader to scan for a barcode.
Note: All output signals except USB D- and USB D+ are connected to
open drain buffers with a pull-up of 100 Kilo-ohm to Vin and a maximum
current capability of 50 mA. All input signals except USB D- and USB D+
are connected to a pull-up to Vin and to a buffer with a 50 mA maximum
current capability.
Note: When Vin is initially supplied, PwrDwn and the other outputs will
be LOW for a few milliseconds until the voltages on the board come up.
They will then transition to default HIGH due to pull-ups until the unit
is up and running. These signals should be ignored until the unit is fully
functioning. See startup timing diagram below for details.
4.7 – Power Modes (CR8011 and CR8012 only)
Boot Mode: The CR8000 enters boot mode upon application of Vin. The
PwrDwn pin will be HIGH (after power on delay) until the main app starts.
Active Mode: In Active Mode the unit is capturing images and initiating the
decode process and/or storing images. The unit transitions to Active Mode
from Idle Mode when a trigger event is received.
Idle Mode: In Idle Mode the unit is not actively capturing images. The
processor is fully functioning and communication can take place, upgrades
can be performed, and scripts can be run. Idle Mode is entered from Boot
Mode after power on, from Active Mode after a register defined timeout in
which there are no trigger events, and from Sleep Mode on receipt of a wake
up.
Sleep Mode (CR8012 only): The imager, illumination, and most of the
processor is powered down. The CPU wake up circuitry, the memory, and
the input/output buffers are powered. The unit enters the sleep state after
a register defined timeout of inactivity, which is defined in register 0x9F. On
receipt of a wake up on the nWakeUp pin, the processor restores the run
environment and enters Idle Mode.

4.8 – Power On (Boot) Timing Diagram (CR8011 and CR8012 only)
The PwrDwn signal will transistion to HIGH
shortly after Vin is applied and will remain HIGH
until the main application starts.
Notes: 1. This time can be longer on USB model due to USB enumeration time.

Notes: 1. Maximum image size.
2. Trigger must be asserted for Trigger Confirmation Time;
3. Trigger Confirmation Time defaults to zero and is adjustable as referenced above (register E3).
4.11 – Image Capture and Decode Timing Diagram
Image acquisition and decoding can be started from either the nTrigger line
(CR8011 or CR8012) or via a communications channel command. The
time required to capture an image can vary depending on the size of image
selected, the confirmation time register (0xE3), and where the imager is in
the capture cycle. The time to decode an image can depend on the image
quality, complexity of the barcode, etc. The maximum time spent trying to
decode an image defaults to 320ms and can be controlled by a register
(2C). To get more information on register functions, refer to the Interface
Configuration Document (ICD), available on the Code website (www.
codecorp.com).
