Code to Launch Fully Integrated Wi-Fi Image-Based Bar Code Reader

SALT LAKE CITY -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Code announced plans today to launch its newest offering; a fully integrated Wi-Fi image-based bar code reader this spring. The technology will be added to the existing Code Reader™ 2600 (CR2600), which raised the industry bar for image-based decoding and omnidirectional reading of both 1D and 2D bar codes when it launched in the fall of 2012. Garrett Russell, vice-president of marketing at Code, stressed the clear benefits to users: “With the introduction of Code Wi-Fi readers, companies now have a long range option for added mobility, increased security and greater profitability.”

The Code Reader™ 2600, available in Bluetooth and now Wi-Fi versions, give users the flexibility to select a mobile bar code reading solution that best fits their present and future needs. The Code Reader™ 2600 Wi-Fi version will allow businesses to increase coverage range that were once restricted to Bluetooth, enabling real-time communication over existing Wi-Fi networks.

Added security with CR2600 Wi-Fi

Data integrity is not compromised because companies can utilize existing Wi-Fi network data security protocols. In addition, increased range accessibility is simple with multiple connection points through individual device IP addresses.

“We are thrilled to bring Wi-Fi to the market! Our vendors, clients and distributors have expressed interest in Wi-Fi, and we found the CR2600 to be the perfect bar code reading platform to integrate this technology ” said Russell.

CR2600 Wi-Fi mode reader features:

• Increased user mobility and expanded communication range
• Connects directly into an organization’s Wi-Fi infrastructure though individual device address
• Data security through established Wi-Fi network protocols
• Unlimited reader connectivity to a Wi-Fi network
• IP65 rating
• All-inclusive kits available (reader/charger in each)
• Replaceable, rechargeable battery cartridges with fuel gauge indicators
• Omnidirectional reading of both 1D and 2D bar codes
• Palm and handled configurations

The CR2600 comes in an all-inclusive kit, and Code now offers a Quad-Bay Battery Charging Station. The battery station charges up to four battery cartridges simultaneously and each bay tracks individual charging status via an LED display.
