Presentation 2D scanner for point-of-sale counters
The Code Corporation CR5020-C500 is a presentation-style barcode reader built for hands-free checkout lanes. Its omnidirectional 2D imager captures 1D, stacked and 2D symbologies from paper labels and mobile screens. The unit ships with a USB cable and supports RS232 or Bluetooth Affinity cables for alternative host connections. Compact dimensions suit tight counter spaces.
Scan angles and contrast limits
The imager offers a high-density field of 30° horizontal by 20° vertical and a wide field of 50° horizontal by 33.5° vertical. Pitch and yaw tolerance reach ±60° while roll covers ±180°. A minimum print contrast ratio of 25% is required for reliable decoding. Barcodes outside these angular or contrast boundaries may not read on the first pass.
USB plug-and-play with cable options
The included USB cable enables immediate host connection without external power. Swapping to RS232 or Bluetooth Affinity interfaces requires the corresponding cable accessory, which is not in the box. JavaScript-based data formatting and optional driver-license or age-verification features need host-side configuration. Missing the correct cable is the most common setup delay.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the high-density or wide-field version of the CR5020-C500?
The CR5020-C500 includes both fields in one scanner; the high-density field is 30° horizontal by 20° vertical and the wide field is 50° horizontal by 33.5° vertical.
What does the 50° horizontal by 33.5° vertical wide field mean when the scanner is on the counter?
It defines the angular area the imager can see; a barcode presented within that 50° by 33.5° cone from the scan window will be captured without precise alignment.
Which interfaces does the CR5020-C500 support and what limits do they impose?
The scanner supports USB, RS232 and Bluetooth Affinity cables; the included USB cable provides a direct USB connection, while RS232 and Bluetooth require their respective affinity cables.
