CR1100 Maintenance

The CR1100 device needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate. A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions.

Cleaning the CR1100 Window
CR1100 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of the reader. Do not touch the window. Your CR1100 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty window ay stop the CR1100 from reading barcodes. If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened cloth or tissue after using the detergent.
