The Code Reader 1200 and
Code Reader 1210 are shipped
with the ordered cable installed
and secured with a cable clip
attachment.
Figure 2
If a cable was not ordered with the CR1200/CR1210,
you received an assembled unit containing the
CR1200/CR1210, cable clip attachment, spacer and
two threaded screws. (Figure 2)
CR1200/CR1210’s unique
targeting function uses two
converging targeting LEDs
to guide the user to optimal
reading range.
Too far from code
Too close to code
Optimal distance from code is
3.8” (9.7 cm) for the CR1200.
Optimal from code is 2.3” (5.8 cm)

The CR1200/CR1210 are powered through the computer when connected via USB or
PS/2 cable. When using an RS-232 cable, a power supply must be used to power the
reader. Ordering options for RS-232 also include the choices for power supplies for use
in the US, Europe/South America or the UK. For all power supply cables, connect the
power supply to the RS-232 cable. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
