The CR1000 is an aggressive, yet affordable, bar code reader that takes up limited workspace without compromising bar code reading performance. The CR1000 is a compact handheld or hands-free 2D bar code reader that expands Code’s product line into new vertical markets.

“Code’s new Code Reader 1000 has one of the best compact form factors I have seen in years," said Mark Fraker, vice president of marketing for BlueStar, Inc. “The numerous mounting configurations of this new design, and the fact that the Code Reader 1000 can read bar codes off of cell phone screens make it unique. I am sure the ingenuity of our channel will find many solutions which will utilize the Code Reader 1000, especially in the healthcare, mobile ticketing, kiosks and retail spaces.”

The CR1000 features a patented dual-field optical platform and an intuitive LED targeting design, which allows users to read both wide linear and small 2D bar codes fast and accurately. With environmentally friendly power management, the CR1000 boasts the lowest power consumption for a product in its class, making the CR1000 the ideal bar code reader for mobile ticketing, self-service kiosks and ATM applications.

In addition, the CR1000 features Code’s glare reduction technology for scanning bar codes printed on shiny surfaces, such as bottles, syringes and IV bags. With medical grade plastics and unique form factor, the CR1000 is the most versatile bar code reader for simplifying data collection and management in any industry.
