Digital Scanner Cradle
The digital scanner cradles CR0078-S and CR0078-P serve as a stand, charger, and host interface for the
digital scanner. The cradle sits on a desktop. The CR0078-S cradle can also be mounted on a vertical surface
(such as a wall). For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation
included with the cradle.
The CR0078-S cradle is available as a charging cradle with a radio and as a charge-only cradle. The
CR0078-P cradle is only available as a charging cradle with a radio. The differences between the two versions
are as follows:
• Charging cradle with radio: When the cordless digital scanner is paired to the cradle, all
communication between the digital scanner and the host computer is accomplished through the cradle.
Each bar code contains programming instructions or other data unique to the bar code pattern. The
digital scanner is paired to the cradle and transmits bar code data to the cradle via Bluetooth Technology
Profile Support. The cradle then sends that information via an interface cable to the host computer for
interpretation.
• Charge-only cradle: This cradle serves as a stand and battery charger. It does not contain a radio and
has no communication capability.
Table 1-1 outlines several main differences between the CR0078-S and CR0078-P cradles:
NOTE For more information about communication between the digital scanner, cradle, and host,
see Chapter 4, Radio Communications.
