Digital Scanner Cradle
The digital scanner CR0078-S and CR0078-P cradles 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.
The following table outlines several main differences between the CR0078-S and CR0078-P cradles:
