Cordless 1D Linear Imager with 520 Scans per Second, 3 mil Resolution, Bluetooth 4.0+EDR, Up to 90 m Line-of-Sight Communication and Offline Batch Scanning

The CipherLab 1560P is a cordless Bluetooth 1D linear-imaging barcode scanner designed for businesses that need the scanning performance of the CipherLab 1500P with greater freedom of movement.

It combines a 2500-pixel CCD linear sensor, 520 scans per second, 3 mil resolution and support for common 1D barcode symbologies with Bluetooth Class 2 connectivity.

When used with the applicable communication stand, CipherLab specifies a wireless communication range of up to approximately 90 metres / 295 feet line of sight.

For situations where an operator moves outside Bluetooth communication range, the 1560P also provides reserved-buffer and batch-mode memory, allowing barcode data to be captured for later transmission.

This makes the 1560P relevant to retail, healthcare, public-sector, stockroom and other business environments where a conventional corded scanner would restrict operator movement.

Bluetooth Cordless Scanning

The key difference between the CipherLab 1560P and 1500P is mobility.

The 1500P is corded.

The 1560P is Bluetooth cordless.

CipherLab specifies the 1560P with:

Bluetooth Class 2, 2.4 GHz, Version 4.0+EDR

and support for:

• SPP
• HID

This allows the scanner to operate without a data cable continuously connecting the scanner itself to the host.

Up to 90 m Line-of-Sight Communication

CipherLab specifies wireless coverage of up to approximately:

90 metres / 295 feet line of sight

when used in the applicable communication-stand environment.

This can provide useful freedom of movement for applications such as:

• Stock checking
• Receiving
• Retail floor scanning
• Inventory operations
• Back-room product identification
• General business scanning
• Public-sector workflows
• Healthcare supply identification

The 90 m figure is a line-of-sight manufacturer specification, not a guaranteed range in every building.

Actual Bluetooth range can be affected by:

• Walls
• Shelving
• Metal structures
• Equipment
• Radio interference
• Building layout
• Scanner orientation
• Host/communication configuration

Offline Batch Scanning

One of the strongest advantages of the 1560P is that work does not necessarily have to stop when the scanner temporarily moves outside its normal wireless communication range.

The 1560P supports:

Reserved-buffer mode

and:

Batch mode

This allows barcode information to be stored in scanner memory and transferred according to the configured workflow.

It can be useful for:

• Stock counting
• Back-room scanning
• Inventory checks
• Receiving
• Areas with intermittent Bluetooth coverage
• Temporary offline barcode collection

The required batch workflow should be configured and tested before operational deployment.

Memory

CipherLab specifies memory for the 1560P Bluetooth scanner as:

Reserved Buffer: 4 KB

Batch Mode: 512 KB

The actual number of barcode records that can be stored depends on the length and structure of the data being captured.

For that reason, capacity should not be represented as a fixed number of scans for every application.

520 Scans per Second

The CipherLab 1560P provides a scan rate of:

520 scans per second

This makes it suitable for repetitive 1D barcode capture in busy commercial environments.

The high scan rate can help operators acquire conventional linear barcodes quickly when the barcode is within the supported reading range and meets appropriate print-quality requirements.

2500-Pixel CCD Linear Sensor

The 1560P uses a:

2500-pixel CCD linear sensor

with a:

Red LED at 618–626 nm

Unlike a conventional laser scanner, the 1560P uses linear-imaging technology to capture supported 1D barcodes.

This is the same general scanner category as the CipherLab 1500P, but in a cordless Bluetooth configuration.

3 Mil Resolution

CipherLab specifies minimum resolution down to:

3 mil

This gives the 1560P the ability to read appropriately printed high-density 1D barcodes within its supported specifications.

For Code 39 at 3 mil, CipherLab specifies an approximate reading range of:

6.9–10.7 cm

Actual performance depends on barcode characteristics and operating conditions.

Long Barcode Capability

The CipherLab 1560P can also address long 1D barcode applications.

This can be relevant where long linear symbols are used for:

• Bills
• Documents
• Account references
• Administrative processing
• Utility-related workflows
• Business records

For applications involving unusually long or dense barcodes, testing the actual production barcode before larger deployment is recommended.

UPC-A Reading Range

For a standard:

UPC-A 13 mil

barcode, CipherLab specifies an approximate depth of field of:

4–40 cm

This provides flexibility for ordinary retail product scanning.

Code 39 Reading Range

CipherLab specifies approximately:

Code 39, 3 mil: 6.9–10.7 cm

Code 39, 5 mil: 6–17 cm

Actual depth of field depends on barcode quality, size, contrast and environmental conditions.

Supported 1D Barcode Symbologies

The CipherLab 1560P supports common linear symbologies 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 CipherLab 1560P can be useful in retail environments where an operator needs greater mobility than a corded scanner provides.

Potential applications include:

• Product identification
• Stock checking
• Inventory lookup
• Receiving
• Shelf-related scanning
• Back-room operations
• POS-related 1D barcode capture

For a permanently fixed checkout counter where mobility provides no operational benefit, the corded 1500P may be a simpler alternative.

Inventory & Stockroom Applications

Bluetooth mobility can make the 1560P useful where the operator needs to move around products rather than bring every item to a fixed scanner.

Potential applications include:

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

The scanner captures barcode data; the connected inventory or ERP application determines what happens to that information.

Healthcare Applications

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

The 1560P can support compatible healthcare workflows using 1D barcodes, including appropriate:

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

Healthcare buyers should confirm the actual barcode type before ordering.

The 1560P is not a 2D scanner and therefore should not be selected when the workflow requires Data Matrix, QR Code or another 2D format.

Public-Sector & Service Applications

The 1560P may also be useful in public-sector and service environments requiring mobile 1D barcode capture.

Potential applications include:

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

Software compatibility and barcode format should be verified before deployment.

Rechargeable Battery

The CipherLab 1560P uses a:

3.7 V, 800 mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery

This provides cordless operation without disposable batteries.

Battery runtime depends on:

• Scan frequency
• Bluetooth communication
• Scanner configuration
• Battery age
• Charging condition
• Operating environment

Working Time

CipherLab specifies up to approximately:

36 hours

of working time for the 1560P based on its stated test condition of approximately one scan every five seconds.

This figure should be treated as a manufacturer test specification rather than a guaranteed operating time in every application.

Continuous intensive scanning, wireless conditions, configuration and battery age can change actual runtime.

Communication Stand

CipherLab offers a communication stand for its Bluetooth scanner configuration.

The communication stand provides Bluetooth communication between the scanner and the connected system.

CipherLab also states that the applicable communication stand can provide Bluetooth communication for up to seven scanners.

Multi-scanner deployment should be planned and tested according to the actual host, stand and application configuration.

Charging

CipherLab also lists a:

Single battery charger

for applicable Bluetooth scanner configurations.

The exact scanner package, communication stand, charging equipment and other accessories should be confirmed before ordering.

Do not assume every accessory is included with every 1560P configuration.

Auto-Sense & Continuous Scanning

The 1560P supports:

• Auto-sense mode
• Continuous scanning mode

These modes can help with repetitive barcode workflows and appropriate hands-free configurations.

The actual operating mode should be configured according to the application.

Scanning Angles

CipherLab specifies:

Pitch: ±70°

Skew: ±70°

This provides practical tolerance when a 1D barcode is presented at an angle rather than perfectly aligned.

Minimum Print Contrast

CipherLab specifies approximately:

25% minimum PCS

for the linear-imaging configuration.

Actual readability still depends on the complete barcode quality and operating environment.

Ambient Illumination

CipherLab specifies ambient illumination up to:

100,000 lux

This provides flexibility in brightly illuminated indoor environments.

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

1.2 m Drop Resistance

CipherLab specifies the Bluetooth 1560P configuration for:

Multiple 1.2 m / 3.9 ft drops onto concrete

This provides protection against ordinary accidental drops during mobile commercial use.

Drop-test specifications do not mean the scanner is indestructible.

IP30 Protection

The CipherLab 1560P carries an:

IP30

ingress-protection rating.

It is primarily designed for normal indoor commercial environments.

IP30 should not be interpreted as protection against:

• Rain
• Water
• Wash-down
• Wet processing areas
• Heavy dust
• Outdoor weather exposure

For demanding warehouse or industrial environments, a more rugged scanner may be appropriate.

Compact Cordless Design

The scanner measures approximately:

153 × 61 × 93 mm

and weighs approximately:

173 g / 6.1 oz with battery

This keeps the scanner relatively lightweight while incorporating its rechargeable battery and wireless capability.
