14.0 - CR4405 Communication Modes
The CR4405 has four communication modes, with an associated configuration barcode by the same name in the CR44X5
Configuration Guide.
Communication Mode
Description
iPhone Keyboard Communication Mode (default)
This mode allows you to scan data into an iPhone 5/5s
application like Notes or a spreadsheet, as if you were manually
entering in data (e.g. from the on-screen keyboard).*
iPhone App Communication Mode
This mode allows you to scan data into an iPhone 5/5s
application built around the CR44x5 SDK library.
USB Downloader Mode
This mode allows for USB communication with CortexTools
installed on a computer. CortexTools™ is a utility that is used for
firmware upgrades and other diagnostic tasks.
USB Pass-Through Mode
The purpose of this mode is to allow the iPhone to sync its data
with iTunes via a USB cable connected to a computer.
This mode is automatically activated only: 1) When the sled
becomes directly connected (i.e. not through a charging station)
to a powered USB cable, or 2) When the USB Pass-Through
configuration barcode is scanned.
In this mode the sled can still scan configuration barcodes, but
cannot read and display barcodes. If the sled was in Keyboard
Mode or App Mode before becoming directly connected to a
powered USB cable, the sled can become enabled for barcode
reading by simply unplugging the USB cable causing the sled
to revert to the last communication mode set. You can also
scan the Keyboard Mode or App Mode configuration barcode if
needed.
* It should be noted that certain third party apps do not allow data to be “tabbed” even though such configurations may be set in the
CR4405 reader. For example, some spreadsheet programs require human touch on a new cell in which to enter new data, rather than
Prefix-Tab or Suffix-Tab configuration to prompt the cursor to automatically move to a new cell.
15.0 - Power Management
Power Management Codes
Description
Sleep Timer (N minutes)
This timer puts the sled to sleep after N minutes of inactivity,
thus conserving power. The default value for N is 1 minute.
Enable iPhone Charging via Sled
This power scheme consists of the sled always providing
back-up power to the iPhone, until the sled battery level drops
to 15% or less (this value can be modified).
Disable iPhone Charging via Sled
This power scheme consists of the sled never providing back-up
power to the iPhone, thus preserving its own power for the
sole purpose of scanning.
Intelligent Charging
This power scheme is addressed later in this document.
