Code ScanConnect 1500 Barcode Reader Omnidirectional imager, 1D, 2D, PDF417, RS232, USB 2.0

SKU: 

CR1500-K203-CX

While many barcode readers rely on a fixed scan angle, the Code 1500 uses an omnidirectional imager to read 1D, 2D, and PDF417 barcodes for retail workflows. With RS232 and USB 2.0 connectivity and a dark gray finish, it helps speed scanning at the point of sale.

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.

Key Features

  • Multi-symbology decoding: Supports 1D, 2D, postal and PDF417 codes to handle diverse labeling across workflows.
  • Dual-field optics: Patented dual-field design provides both high-density and wide-field reading for small and large codes.
  • Rugged, cleanable housing: IP54 protection and CodeShield Level 3 disinfectant-ready, PVC-free options suit healthcare and demanding environments.
  • Flexible wired connectivity: USB and Serial (RS232) interfaces and corded operation simplify integration with POS and host systems.
