Opticon CR2/LG2 (2D) barcode reader

The Opticon CR2 and Opticon LG2 is an innovative imager that uses advanced Bluetooth™ wireless and superior CMOS bar code technology combined in a futuristic package. The versatility and flexibility of the Opticon CR2 and Opticon LG2 architecture gives you the highest performance and protects your investment against future application demands.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology gives you a cable-free imager for mobile applications.  The imager can be configured to retain data in nonvolatile memory or transfer in real time.  The Bluetooth™ protocol gives reliable data transfer at extremely low power consumption
at ranges up to 300 feet.

Special Bluetooth™ routing software enhances bi-directional wireless transmissions. CodeXML Router – BE™ software monitors wireless communication to ensure that data is not lost, even if the CR2/LG2 is taken out of range.

The Quick Connect Code™ technology links the CR2/LG2 with other Bluetooth enabled devices easily by scanning a barcode with unique Bluetooth™ address.

The technology employed to achieve this high performance is superior to most bar code imagers. Dual optical paths optimize reading at both near and far distances. 400 MHz, 32-Bit micro-processor operation means super fast decoding and a 1.3 million pixel CMOS sensor assures quality high density images. 8 MB of non-volatile on-board memory allows the Opticon CR2 and Opticon LG2 to store enormous quantities of data.
