Purpose-built scanning

The Code Reader 950 is a corded handheld scanner designed for point-of-sale and retail environments where 1D and 2D barcodes must be captured quickly. Its omnidirectional reading eliminates the need to align labels, and the 6-foot USB cable keeps the workstation tidy. Driver-license parsing for US, Canada and Colombia accelerates age verification and loyalty enrolment.

Sustained-shift reliability

The scanner weighs 0.24 lb and measures 5.50" x 2.00" x 2.80", so operators can keep it in hand through long shifts without fatigue. A 15% minimum print-contrast tolerance means it continues to decode damaged or low-quality codes that would stall simpler imagers. Hands-free motion detection allows seamless transitions between in-stand and out-of-stand use during peak periods.

Interface flexibility

Connectivity is provided through USB and RS-232 interfaces, letting the same hardware plug into modern PCs or legacy terminals without adapters. The scanner accepts pitch angles up to ±65 degree and yaw angles up to ±60 degree, giving cashiers a wide working envelope at the counter. No wireless protocol or battery management is involved, so uptime depends only on the host connection.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.24 lb Reader 950 stay cool and quiet during all-day scanning shifts?

The lightweight 0.24 lb handheld design and corded USB or RS-232 connection mean no battery heat or fan noise, so it runs silently and stays comfortable during continuous use.

What host port must my system provide for the CR950-K301-C500 to operate?

The kit includes a 6 ft straight USB cable and the scanner also supports RS-232, so your PC or terminal needs an available USB-A or serial port.

Will the ±65° pitch and ±60° yaw angles read barcodes on the same counter where my older laser scanner sat?

Yes, the omnidirectional imager reads 1D and 2D codes at those wide angles, letting you drop it into existing workflows without re-aiming or changing stand position.
