Page 8: Introduction
1.1 - Introduction CR3 is a revolutionary bar code and 2-dimensional code reader. Developed to be the fi rst universal reader, no other single device performs as many functions. With a cost of ownership far less than comparable systems, the CR3 incorporates a unique dual path optical system, a 1.3 million pixel CMOS sensor, and a 400 MHz processor. -
Page 9: Unpacking
Code at (801) 495-2200. The standard CR3 unit is shipped with a USB cable interface. The unit also features a battery blank which must be installed when using the reader (except when attached to the H2, BH1 or BH2 handle). -

Page 22: Bluetooth Radio Operation
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create a QuickConnect Code that is specifi c to your device (Figure 1.22). This code will link your CR3 directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will need to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. - Page 23 Radio Range and Transferring Data The CR3 radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device the reader has roughly a 100 meter (300 feet) line of sight operating range. If connecting to a Class 2 or Class 3 device, the operating range may drop to match the lower range.

Conversely, as the targeting tolerance gets larger there is less precision needed with the targeting laser. If there is more than one decodable code in the fi eld of the, the symbol closest to the targeting laser will be decoded. -
Page 60: Windowing
By reducing the vertical window value of the imager to 200 pixels, 1D codes are processed more quickly. Because only a horizontal strip of a 1D code is needed to be decoded, using a narrow strip of the imager is all that is needed. The area above and below the 200 pixels, which is always in the center of the imager, is ignored. -
