Cordless 1D Laser Scanner with 100 Scans per Second, 4 mil Resolution, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Up to 90 m Line-of-Sight Communication and Offline Batch Scanning

The CipherLab 1562 is a cordless Bluetooth 1D laser barcode scanner designed for businesses that need traditional laser scanning with greater freedom of movement than a corded scanner provides.

It combines a visible 650 ± 15 nm laser diode, 100 scans per second, 4 mil minimum resolution and support for common 1D barcode symbologies with Bluetooth wireless communication.

With the applicable communication setup, CipherLab specifies a wireless communication range of up to approximately 90 metres / 295 feet line of sight.

For workflows that move temporarily outside normal wireless coverage, the 1562 also supports reserved-buffer and batch-mode operation, allowing barcode data to be stored for later transmission.

The 1562 is particularly relevant to retail, stockroom, healthcare, public-sector and general business environments where operators need cordless 1D laser scanning without moving to a 2D scanner.

Bluetooth Cordless Laser Scanning

The defining characteristic of the CipherLab 1562 is its combination of:

1D laser scanning + Bluetooth cordless operation

This distinguishes it from the CipherLab 1502, which uses related laser-scanning technology but is corded.

The 1562 is therefore more appropriate where an operator needs to move around products, shelves, cartons or a work area rather than remain beside a fixed host workstation.

Bluetooth 2.1+EDR

CipherLab specifies the 1562 with:

Bluetooth Class 2, 2.4 GHz, Version 2.1+EDR

and support for:

  • SPP
  • HID

The required Bluetooth profile should be selected according to the host system and software workflow.

Bluetooth capability alone does not guarantee compatibility with every computer, POS terminal, tablet, mobile device or application.

Up to 90 m Line-of-Sight Communication

CipherLab specifies Bluetooth coverage of up to approximately:

90 metres / 295 feet line of sight

with the applicable communication setup.

This can provide useful mobility for:

  • Stock checking
  • Goods receiving
  • Inventory
  • Retail-floor scanning
  • Back-room operations
  • Healthcare supply identification
  • Public-sector workflows
  • General business data capture

The 90 m figure is a manufacturer line-of-sight specification.

Actual indoor range may be reduced by:

  • Walls
  • Metal shelving
  • Building structure
  • Equipment
  • Radio interference
  • Scanner orientation
  • Host configuration
  • Communication environment

It should not be treated as a guaranteed 90 m indoor operating radius.

Offline Batch Scanning

The CipherLab 1562 supports offline data-collection workflows through:

Reserved-buffer mode

and:

Batch mode

This can be useful when an operator temporarily moves outside Bluetooth communication range.

Potential applications include:

  • Inventory counts
  • Stock checking
  • Goods receiving
  • Back-room scanning
  • Temporary offline data collection
  • Areas with intermittent wireless coverage

The required batch workflow should be configured and tested with the host application before deployment.

1D Laser Scanning Technology

The CipherLab 1562 uses a:

Visible laser diode at 650 ± 15 nm

for supported linear barcode capture.

Laser scanning can be appropriate for businesses already standardized on conventional 1D barcode workflows.

The 1562 should not be confused with the 1560P, which is also Bluetooth cordless but uses linear-imaging technology rather than laser scanning.

100 Scans per Second

CipherLab specifies the 1562 at:

100 scans per second

This is designed for everyday commercial 1D barcode capture.

Potential applications include:

  • Retail product scanning
  • Stock identification
  • Inventory
  • Receiving
  • Document processing
  • Healthcare supply workflows
  • Administrative scanning

The scan-rate figure describes scanner performance under specified conditions and does not represent complete business transactions per second.

4 Mil Resolution

CipherLab specifies minimum resolution down to approximately:

4 mil

This allows the 1562 to read suitably printed high-density 1D barcodes within its supported operating range.

For Code 39 at 4 mil, CipherLab specifies an approximate reading range of:

1–4 cm

Actual barcode readability depends on:

  • Symbology
  • X-dimension
  • Print quality
  • Contrast
  • Surface
  • Distance
  • Scanning angle
  • Environmental conditions

Extended UPC-A Reading Range

For a standard:

UPC-A 13 mil

barcode, CipherLab specifies an approximate depth of field of:

1.5–51.5 cm

This can provide useful flexibility when scanning conventional retail product barcodes.

Actual reading distance varies according to barcode and operating conditions.

Code 39 Reading

CipherLab specifies approximately:

Code 39, 4 mil: 1–4 cm

Code 39, 5 mil: 1–12 cm

High-density or application-critical barcodes should be tested before larger deployment.

Supported 1D Barcode Symbologies

The CipherLab 1562 supports common linear barcode formats including:

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

and additional supported 1D formats.

Retail Applications

The 1562 can be useful for retail operations where a corded scanner would limit operator movement.

Potential applications include:

  • Product identification
  • UPC/EAN scanning
  • Stock checking
  • Inventory lookup
  • Goods receiving
  • Shelf-related workflows
  • Back-room operations
  • Returns-related product identification

For a scanner that remains permanently at a checkout counter, the corded 1502 may provide a simpler alternative.

Inventory & Stockroom Applications

Cordless operation can be particularly useful when employees need to move around stock.

Potential applications include:

  • Inventory counts
  • Goods receiving
  • Product lookup
  • Replenishment
  • Stock verification
  • Internal stock movement
  • Back-room operations
  • Packing and dispatch identification

The scanner captures barcode data. The connected inventory, POS or ERP system determines how the information is processed.

Healthcare Applications

CipherLab positions the 1500 Series for healthcare applications as well as retail and public-sector environments.

The 1562 can support compatible healthcare workflows using 1D barcodes, including appropriate:

  • Supply identification
  • Inventory control
  • Asset-related scanning
  • Document identification
  • Internal tracking

However, many modern healthcare and pharmaceutical applications use 2D Data Matrix or other 2D symbols.

The 1562 is a 1D-only laser scanner and should not be selected when 2D barcode capture is required.

Pharmacy Applications

The 1562 supports applicable 1D symbologies including:

  • Code 128
  • GS1-128
  • ISBT-128
  • Italian Pharmacode
  • French Pharmacode

It can therefore be considered for compatible pharmacy workflows that still use supported 1D codes.

If medicine packaging or the required application uses Data Matrix, QR Code or another 2D barcode, select an appropriate 2D imager instead.

Public-Sector & Service Applications

The 1562 can also support compatible 1D barcode workflows in public-sector and service environments.

Potential applications include:

  • Document identification
  • Account lookup
  • Reference-number capture
  • File tracking
  • Administrative processing
  • Counter and back-office workflows

The exact barcode format and host application should be verified before deployment.

Continuous Scanning Mode

CipherLab specifies:

Continuous mode

for hands-free scanning on the 1562 laser platform.

This can be useful for appropriate repetitive scanning workflows when used with a suitable configuration.

The 1562 should not be represented as having the same auto-sense modes as the 1560P linear-imager model.

Rechargeable Battery

The CipherLab 1562 uses a rechargeable battery for cordless operation.

Battery performance depends on:

  • Scan frequency
  • Bluetooth activity
  • Wireless conditions
  • Scanner configuration
  • Battery age
  • Charging condition
  • Operating temperature

Battery runtime should therefore be treated as application-dependent rather than guaranteed.

Communication Stand

CipherLab provides applicable communication-stand architecture for the Bluetooth 156x scanners.

This allows communication between the cordless scanner and a connected host system.

The exact communication stand, charging equipment and host interface required should be confirmed before ordering.

Do not assume a communication stand or charger is included with every 1562 configuration.

100,000 Lux Ambient Illumination

CipherLab specifies ambient illumination up to:

100,000 lux

This provides flexibility in brightly illuminated environments.

It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every barcode will scan under direct sunlight or from highly reflective surfaces.

Barcode contrast, surface and light direction still affect performance.

Scanning Angles

CipherLab specifies:

Pitch: ±65°

Skew: ±50°

This provides practical tolerance when a barcode is presented at an angle rather than perfectly aligned.

Minimum Print Contrast

CipherLab specifies approximately:

45% minimum PCS

for the laser models.

Actual barcode readability depends on the complete barcode quality and scanning conditions.

1.2 m Drop Resistance

CipherLab specifies:

Multiple 1.2 m / 3.9 ft drops onto concrete

for the 1562.

This provides protection against ordinary accidental drops during commercial use.

It does not mean the scanner is indestructible or that all accidental damage is covered by warranty.

IP30 Protection

The CipherLab 1562 carries an:

IP30

ingress-protection rating.

It is primarily intended for normal indoor commercial environments.

IP30 should not be interpreted as suitable for:

  • Rain
  • Water exposure
  • Wash-down
  • Wet processing
  • Heavy dust
  • Unprotected outdoor operation

More demanding environments may require a more rugged scanner.

Compact Cordless Design

The CipherLab 1562 measures approximately:

153 × 61 × 93 mm

and weighs approximately:

177 g / 6.2 oz

The cordless handheld design allows operators to move around the immediate work area without a scanner data cable restricting movement.
