If a cable was not ordered with the CR1200/CR1210,
you received an assembled unit containing the
CR1200/CR1210, cable clip attachment, spacer and
two threaded screws. (Figure 2)
CR1200/CR1210’s unique
targeting function uses two
converging targeting LEDs
to guide the user to optimal
reading range.

The CR1200/CR1210 are powered through the computer when connected via USB or
PS/2 cable. When using an RS-232 cable, a power supply must be used to power the
reader. Ordering options for RS-232 also include the choices for power supplies for use
in the US, Europe/South America or the UK. For all power supply cables, connect the
power supply to the RS-232 cable. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
Powering On the CR1200/CR1210
Should you need to change a cable on the CR1200/CR1210, first, unscrew the two screws in the
cable clip (Figure 6). Slide the cable clip away from the reader (Figure 7). A spacer was placed
between the cable clip and the reader handle. Be sure to remove and keep track of the spacer.
Remove the cable from the reader by pulling back on the 8-pin DIN connector (Figure 8).
Changing or Adding Cables

Figure 10
Attach the new cable by sliding the cable clip onto the cable (Figure 9) and then sliding it up to
the end of the cable. Snap the spacer onto the end of the cable (Figure 10). Align the 8-pin DIN
connectors. Firmly press the cable (with cable clip and spacer) into the bottom of the reader
handle (Figure 11). Place and secure the screws into the cable clip attachment alternating
between the right and left screw until fully seated. Screws shall be tightened to a torque setting of
2 inch-lbs
Note:
Do not over-torque screws.
