Product Type: Corded 1D Linear Imager Barcode Scanner

Product Overview

The CipherLab 1000A is a general-purpose corded 1D linear imager barcode scanner designed for everyday barcode data capture in retail, point-of-sale, document processing, inventory and general business applications.

Using a 1500-pixel linear imaging sensor and red LED illumination, the 1000A provides scanning speeds up to 200 scans per second, resolution down to 3 mil, and support for barcodes up to approximately 150 mm wide.

For an applicable 13 mil barcode, CipherLab specifies a reading range from contact to approximately 12 cm, giving operators greater working-distance flexibility than a contact-only barcode scanner.

The 1000A supports major 1D barcode symbologies and is available with USB, RS-232 and keyboard wedge interface options.

It is an appropriate choice where straightforward, reliable corded 1D barcode scanning is required without paying for wireless or 2D functionality that the application does not need.

Linear Imaging Technology

The CipherLab 1000A uses:

Linear Imager

technology rather than a traditional laser scanning engine.

Its solid-state optical design captures supported linear barcodes using a red LED light source and linear sensor.

This makes it suitable for regular business applications involving printed 1D barcodes.

1500-Pixel Optical Sensor

The 1000A uses a:

1500-pixel optical sensor

for linear barcode capture.

The scanner is designed to decode supported 1D barcode information and send the resulting data to a connected host system.

It should not be confused with a camera-based general-purpose 2D area imager.

3 Mil Resolution

CipherLab specifies optical resolution down to:

3 mil

for the 1000A.

This can be useful where relatively dense 1D barcodes need to be scanned.

Successful decoding still depends on factors including:

Barcode symbology
Barcode quality
Print contrast
Barcode width
Scanning distance
Physical damage or distortion

For an unusually small or dense barcode, testing an actual sample before deployment is recommended.

Up to 200 Scans per Second

The CipherLab 1000A provides a scan rate of up to:

200 scans per second

This supports responsive everyday scanning for:

Retail
POS
Inventory
Documents
Product identification
General business applications

Up to 150 mm Barcode Width

CipherLab specifies support for barcodes up to approximately:

150 mm / 5.9 inches wide

This relatively wide scanning capability can be useful for compatible linear barcodes found on:

Documents
Bills
Forms
Product packaging
Identification cards
Business records

The scanner reads supported barcode data. It does not perform general OCR or extract ordinary printed text from documents.

Reading Distance

For an applicable 13 mil barcode, CipherLab specifies a depth of field of approximately:

0 to 12 cm

Actual reading distance varies according to:

Barcode density
Symbology
Barcode size
Print quality
Contrast
Scanner angle

A smaller or denser barcode can require a different working distance.

30% Print Contrast Signal

The 1000A is specified for a minimum:

30% Print Contrast Signal / PCS

This helps the scanner work with a range of normally printed 1D barcodes.

It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every faded, damaged, distorted or poorly printed barcode will decode successfully.

Scan Angle

CipherLab specifies approximately:

Pitch: ±70°
Skew: ±40°

This provides practical flexibility when presenting a barcode to the scanner during everyday handheld use.

Supported 1D Barcodes

The CipherLab 1000A supports major linear barcode symbologies including applicable:

Codabar
Code 39
Code 93
Code 128
GS1-128
GS1 DataBar
Industrial 2 of 5
Interleaved 2 of 5
Matrix 2 of 5
MSI
Plessey
Telepen
UPC
EAN
Italian Pharmacode
French Pharmacode

For specialized barcode applications, confirm the exact symbology before ordering.

1D Scanner - Not a General 2D Scanner

The CipherLab 1000A is designed primarily for:

1D linear barcodes

Do not assume general support for:

QR Code
Data Matrix
PDF417
Aztec Code
Other 2D matrix barcodes

If the business currently uses or plans to introduce QR or 2D codes, selecting an appropriate CipherLab 2D imager may provide a better long-term fit.

USB Connectivity

The 1000A is available with an applicable:

USB interface

for integration with compatible computers and POS systems.

USB can provide a straightforward connection for common workstation applications.

The exact cable and interface configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

RS-232 Connectivity

An applicable:

RS-232 serial interface

is available for the 1000A.

RS-232 can be useful for:

Legacy POS equipment
Industrial computers
Existing business systems
Specialized equipment
Applications designed around serial data input

Correct communication settings must be configured between the scanner and host.

Keyboard Wedge Connectivity

The 1000A also supports an applicable:

Keyboard Wedge

interface.

This can allow scanned barcode data to enter a compatible application in a keyboard-style workflow.

Actual operation depends on the host, interface and software configuration.

Programmable Scanner Configuration

Applicable scanner settings can be configured according to the business requirement.

Configuration can include areas such as:

Barcode symbologies
Interface behaviour
Data formatting
Scanner settings

This allows the scanner to be adapted to different applications without changing the underlying barcode technology.

POS Applications

The CipherLab 1000A can be used for compatible point-of-sale workflows including:

Product barcode scanning
Checkout
Price lookup
Item identification
Stock checking
Goods receiving

Compatibility with the actual POS software and hardware should be confirmed before quantity deployment.

Retail Applications

Potential retail uses include:

Checkout scanning
Product identification
Inventory counting
Stockroom processing
Receiving
Price verification
General barcode data entry

Document Barcode Scanning

The 1000A's support for wide linear barcodes makes it relevant to applicable document workflows.

Potential uses include:

Form identification
Record tracking
Document indexing
Bill barcode scanning
Administrative processing

The 1000A is a barcode scanner, not a document-image scanner or OCR reader.

Inventory Applications

Potential inventory workflows include:

Product lookup
Stock identification
Goods receiving
Inventory counting
Item verification
Warehouse workstation scanning

Because the 1000A is corded, it is most appropriate where the operator remains reasonably close to the connected workstation.

Healthcare Applications

The scanner can be considered for appropriate administrative and supply-related 1D barcode workflows such as:

Supply inventory
Product identification
Administrative barcode capture
Document processing

Scanner capability alone does not establish suitability for a particular clinical, pharmaceutical or regulated healthcare workflow. The complete barcode standard, software and organizational requirements must be verified separately.

Manufacturing Applications

Potential light manufacturing uses include:

Component identification
Work-in-progress tracking
Product barcode capture
Inventory transactions
Production data entry

For harsh industrial environments requiring greater ingress protection, higher drop resistance or specialized barcode performance, a more rugged scanner may be appropriate.

1.0 m Drop Resistance

CipherLab specifies resistance to drops from approximately:

1.0 metre / 3.3 feet

This provides practical durability for ordinary business environments.

The specification should not be interpreted as protection against every impact, misuse or physical-damage situation.

Compact Handheld Design

The CipherLab 1000A measures approximately:

170 × 80 × 48 mm

and weighs approximately:

203 g including cable

Its handheld form factor is designed for regular workstation-based scanning.
