Potential applications include:

Retail-floor scanning
Pharmacy
Healthcare
Inventory
Stock receiving
Document processing
Public-sector operations
Back-room scanning
Mobile workstation workflows

Bluetooth 4.0+EDR

CipherLab specifies:

Bluetooth Class 2, 2.4 GHz, Version 4.0+EDR

Radio interference
Host location
Scanner orientation
Communication configuration

The 90 m figure should therefore be treated as a line-of-sight manufacturer specification, not a guaranteed indoor operating radius.

1280 × 960 CMOS Image Sensor

The CipherLab 1564A uses a:

1280 × 960-pixel CMOS image sensor

with:

White LED illumination

The area-imaging architecture allows the scanner to capture both conventional linear barcodes and supported two-dimensional symbols.

This is fundamentally different from the 1560P linear imager and 1562 laser scanner, which are 1D-only models.

Han Xin Code

This broader barcode capability can reduce the need for separate scanners when an organization works with both traditional and modern barcode formats.

3 Mil 1D Resolution

CipherLab specifies minimum 1D resolution down to approximately:

3 mil

For Code 39 at 3 mil, the specified reading range is approximately:

6.9–10.7 cm

This can be useful for appropriately printed high-density linear barcodes.

Actual performance depends on barcode size, contrast, print quality, surface and environmental conditions.

5 Mil 2D Resolution

For 2D symbols, CipherLab specifies minimum resolution down to approximately:

5 mil

This capability can be important where compact Data Matrix, PDF417 or other high-density 2D symbols are used.

For critical deployments, representative production barcodes should be tested before quantity ordering.

QR Code Scanning

Yes, the CipherLab 1564A reads QR Codes.

It also supports:

Micro QR Code

For a 10 mil QR Code, CipherLab specifies an approximate reading range of:

2.5–16.5 cm

Actual distance varies according to code size, printing, contrast and scanning conditions.

Data Matrix Scanning

The 1564A supports Data Matrix.

This makes it suitable for consideration in applications involving compact 2D product-identification codes, including appropriate:

Potential applications include:

Product identification
UPC/EAN scanning
Inventory lookup
Stock checking
Goods receiving
Returns processing
Membership barcodes
Supported QR workflows
Back-room scanning

For a permanently fixed checkout where mobility provides little benefit, a corded 1504A or 1504P may be simpler.

Inventory & Stockroom Applications

Bluetooth mobility can be valuable when employees need to move around products rather than bring every item to a fixed scanning station.

Potential applications include:

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

The host ERP, POS, inventory or warehouse application determines how decoded barcode information is processed.

Actual reading distance varies with barcode type, density, print quality, contrast and operating conditions.

30 Scans per Second

CipherLab specifies:

Up to approximately 30 scans per second

for the 1564A imaging platform.

This figure should not be directly compared with the much higher scan-rate figures of 1D linear imagers.

A 2D area imager captures and processes two-dimensional barcode images and serves a broader barcode requirement.

Communication Stand

CipherLab provides applicable communication-stand architecture for its Bluetooth scanner models.

The exact:

Communication stand
Host interface
Charging arrangement
Power supply
Accessories

should be confirmed for the configuration being ordered.

Do not assume every 1564A package contains the same accessories.
