The Code Reader™ 1500 (CR1500) is a compact, rugged, tethered barcode reader that features a high-performance scan engine, patented dual-field optical platform, and intuitive targeting that makes reading 1D, 2D, and postal barcodes extremely fast and reliable. Initially built for healthcare and industrial environments, this reader is ready to thrive in other environments just as demanding like retail.

Near Zero Miss 99.9995 Accuracy

Near Zero Miss Accuracy

Near Zero Miss (99.9995%) accuracy has brought thousands of businesses in 100 countries the reliability and speed they need to keep their workflow flowing.

You Don't Have to Choose Between Reliability and Speed

With industry-leading scan accuracy, our Near Zero Miss Readers outscan the competition, not only in tests but in real-world performance as well. While your own results may vary, in one specific real-world test on wrinkled plastic and reflective barcodes moving past a scanner at 6 inches per second (see ZiuZ Medical Case Study in the Docs section), results were more than acceptable.

CodeShield® Plastic Disinfect Confidently

CodeShield® Plastic

CodeShield® Plastics offer superior protection against harsh chemicals at 3 distinct levels. These levels provide the ability to quickly select the Code reader that best suits your use case, environmental requirements, and desired level of infectious disease control.

Ready for Modern Disinfecting Challenges

Ranging from 3 disinfectants to 20, each level expands the list—offering the broadest range of approved chemicals in the barcode scanning industry. Suitable for anything from healthcare to retail, CodeShield® Plastics withstand disinfection time and time again—without degrading. It’s never been easier to protect your patients and staff (or customers and employees) from COVID-19, C. difficile, MRSA, and other infectious diseases.

CodeShield: Reliably Safe Scanning

Quality products begin with quality materials; that’s why Code has developed CodeShield®, a new standard in infectious disease control for barcode scanners. CodeShield® products are certified by an independent lab—confirming best-in-class performance and longevity.

Commonly used cleaners may contain chemical agents that degrade scanner housings, shorten product lifespans, void warranties, and leave your organization with replacement costs.

CodeShield® Level 1 or 2 readers will withstand the most x03commonly used cleaners and CodeShield® Level 3 expands your options to 20—including the harshest chemical cleaners.

Disinfectant-Ready vs. Antimicrobial Plastics

Plastics injected with antimicrobial additives resist bacteria, but they don’t eliminate the need to clean the device. Cleaning, disinfecting, and removing dust and debris are necessary steps for handling equipment to ensure patient safety. Disinfecting cleaners will degrade plastics that do not have a disinfectant-ready chemical composition.

With CodeShield® and an IP65 rating, Code’s  CR2700 withstands more disinfectants than any other barcode reader. Looking to leverage the mobile power of the iPhone 7/8/SE 2nd Generation? No need to compromise your infection control protocols—the CR7018 mobile case protects your patients and staff (or customers and employees).

Q

ScanFlex JS

ScanFlex JS

Many Code readers combine bar code reading with an easy-to-use JavaScript-based application programming interface (API) that allows you to decide where your data is channeled.

Your Data Where You Need It

Need to adapt your decoded data to integrate with your current systems?

ScanFlex JS is a JavaScript application programming interface (API) for many Code decoders. Code readers can be programmed to transmit decoded data over a selected communications link, or to store data in reader memory (batch mode when available).

The programming environment provides interfaces to:

  • Read and manipulate data in reader memory
  • Access data sent by host
  • Transmit data to a host computer, via communication link
  • Select type of communication link
  • Set, change, and retrieve reader configuration settings

Patented Dual Field Optics

Dual Field Optics

Code's Patented Dual-Field Optics allow quicker scanning of barcodes of all sizes.

Scan it All

Imagine being able to scan it all—near, far, large, and small. Give your team the best system for quickly scanning anything they need to.

Two is Better Than One

Dual-field scanning lets your workflow flow uninterrupted by frequent scan position adjustments. The technology gives you two lens systems with overlapping scan fields—one is configured for small barcodes and one is configured for large barcodes. (See the second image above for a diagram.)
