Code Reader 3.0

Overview

The CR3 establishes a new benchmark for Portable Data Terminals and Hand Held Computers by combining the industry’s best imaging technology with a graphic display and rugged keyboard to create the smallest and lightest full-featured bar code reading terminal on the market.  The CR3 features a 1.3 MegaPixel dual-field image collection engine, a 400MHz Microprocessor, and 10MB of non-volatile memory.  Available in two portable options:  1950 mAh Lithium Ion Battery and a Real Time Clock with its own battery backup system or 2.4 GHz radio system compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth™ systems.


Using the same ergonomic platform as the highly successful Code Reader 2.0, the CR3 extends mobile all-symbology bar code reading to include information display and keyboard entry.  The CR3 instantly reads large linear as well as high density matrix symbols and adapts to resolution, illumination, and image field for the fastest and widest range of symbology types, sizes, hard to read surfaces and ambient lighting. 


Code eliminates the need for costly, high-overhead operating systems by providing an open platform JavaScript development environment within its CodeXML™ Applications Development Suite. With CodeXML™ and JavaScript, developers and Information Technology organizations can integrate data with any enterprise software.  A unique feature of the Applications Development Suite is the ability to protect both development investment and data security by a customer-unique key encryption, which allows the developer to control the distribution and modification of applications to specific serial-numbered CR3 units.
