CIPHERLAB 1000A USB HID Barcode Scanner — handheld, USB HID interface, black

The CIPHERLAB 1000A is a handheld barcode scanner with a USB HID interface designed for reliable reading of 1D barcodes. It features a linear imager engine, a compact ergonomic housing in black, and plug-and-play USB connectivity for easy integration with PCs and point-of-sale systems. The scanner decodes a wide range of common 1D symbologies and is intended for retail, inventory and POS tasks that require fast, straightforward barcode capture.

Advantages

The scanner offers a fast scan rate of up to 200 scans per second and supports decoding of numerous 1D barcode formats including Code 93, Code 39, Code 128, UPC, Interleaved 2 of 5 and GS1 DataBar. With a minimum barcode element width of 3 mil and a 650 nm light source wavelength, the linear imager provides reliable performance on standard retail and inventory labels. The wired USB HID connection provides plug-and-play operation without additional drivers, and the lightweight, ergonomic design (17 x 8 x 4.8 cm, 203 g) supports frequent use.

How to use

Connect the CIPHERLAB 1000A to a computer or POS terminal using the supplied USB cable; the device uses the USB HID profile for immediate recognition as a keyboard input device. Aim the scanner at the barcode from a suitable distance, press the trigger and move steadily until the scanner signals a successful read. For optimal results, align the linear imager with the barcode bars and avoid excessive tilt or pitch beyond the specified angles.

Recommendations

Use the scanner with standard print-quality 1D barcodes and ensure labels are clean and undamaged. Keep the scanner lens free of dust and smudges and maintain cable connections. For dense or very small barcodes near the minimum element width, position the scanner closer and use steady movement to improve decode reliability.
