The Pro 1500 (CODE CR1500 Barcode Reader) is a compact, tethered handheld 2D area imager designed for reliable, high-throughput barcode capture across retail, POS, healthcare and light industrial environments. Built on a dual-field optical platform with high-density decoding, the CR1500 family reads 1D, 2D, postal and stacked symbologies — including PDF417 and optional DPM — and performs well on mobile screens and glossy surfaces. Variants offer wired USB and Serial (RS232) interfaces, disinfectant-ready housings and IP54 ingress protection for frequent cleaning and rugged daily use. The product line balances accurate decoding, ergonomic handheld operation and easy integration for B2B deployments that require consistent scanning performance and straightforward installation.
