Too far from code
Too close to code
Optimal distance from code is
3.8” (9.7 cm) for the CR1200.
Optimal from code is 2.3” (5.8 cm)
for the CR 1210.
As shown in Figure 3.4, the red targeting LED identifies the center of the reading operation and aids in centering a
code in the reader’s field of view. The green LED provides focusing assistance to aid in positioning the CR1200 at the
optimum distance for a read. Center the CR1200’s red LED display on the code and then move the unit closer to or
farther away from the bar code until the green LED image merges with the red LED image.
Correct positioning of the CR1200 is essential to reduce reading time. For optimal reading conditions, the red and
green LED images must converge at the center of the code.
Read the appropriate code below to turn the targeting features on/off for Red and Green LEDs:

3.2 - Targeting
The CR1200 uses digital imaging technology to take a picture of a symbol. Once an image is captured, the CR1200
uses advanced decoding algorithms to extract data from the captured image.
To read a symbol with the CR1200:
1. Target the CR1200 on the center of the code. (See section 3.2).
2. Hold the CR1200 still. Do not swipe or move the reader.
3. Press the trigger until the CR1200 beeps and vibrates, indicating the code has been successfully read.
