How many scanners can one base station realistically keep paired and synced before things turn into a mess of dropped connections and confused operators? With the CipherLab 1560 wireless Bluetooth barcode scanner, the answer is seven — and that single number says a lot about who this scanner was actually designed for.
This isn't a scanner aimed at a single billing counter. The CipherLab 1560 is built around its communication stand, a base unit that can hold a Bluetooth connection to up to seven individual scanners at once. For Indian distribution centres, courier hubs, and multi-counter retail stores running several scanning stations off one network drop, that architecture solves a real headache: fewer access points to manage, fewer IT tickets, and one place to look when something needs troubleshooting.
Key Specifications of the CipherLab 1560 Barcode Scanner
Strip away the marketing and the CipherLab 1560 is a genuinely solid linear imager built for volume use:
- 2,500-pixel optical sensor decoding at 200 scans per second
- Depth of field from 0.5 cm to 35 cm, with 3 mil minimum resolution and 30% PCS
- Up to 90 metres of line-of-sight range from the communication stand
- Batch mode storing over 30,000 scans when the unit moves out of range — nothing gets lost on a big warehouse floor
- ABS housing rated to withstand repeated 1.2-metre drops onto concrete, IP30 rated
- Three-way mounting stand — auto-sense, desktop, or wall-mounted, depending on the counter layout
- Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty
We currently list the CipherLab 1560 at ₹13,500, which sits it firmly in the mid-tier bracket — priced above basic 1D scanners but well below industrial mobile computers, for businesses that need genuine range and reliability without an enterprise budget.
Where the CipherLab 1560 Earns Its Keep
We tend to recommend the 1560 for operations where multiple people are scanning simultaneously off shared infrastructure:
- Large distribution and fulfilment centres running several pick-pack stations off one base
- Supermarkets and hypermarkets with multiple billing counters that need centralised management
- Courier and 3PL hubs processing high parcel volumes across several scanning points
- Manufacturing dispatch bays where outbound verification happens at more than one station
What Sets the 1560 Apart from Cheaper Wireless Scanners
Plenty of wireless scanners advertise long range on paper. Fewer of them hold that range reliably once a warehouse floor fills up with metal racking and other RF noise — and even fewer let you run multiple units off a single base without constant re-pairing. The combination of the 90-metre range, the 30,000-scan batch memory, and the seven-scanner communication stand is what actually justifies the CipherLab 1560 over a generic alternative. It's a scanner designed to scale across a team, not just a single till.
Sourcing and Support Through Infinite Solutions
CipherLab sits alongside our wider multi-brand barcode hardware range — we already supply the CipherLab RK25 rugged Android terminal to several Indian logistics customers, and the 1560 extends that same lineup into pure scanning. As with our other non-authorised brands, we're upfront that this isn't a manufacturer-authorised partnership the way Printronix, TSC, and BlueBird are; what we offer instead is genuine stock, fair pricing, and the same Delhi-based service backbone covering Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune.
If you're scaling a scanning fleet across multiple sites, we can also help plan out how many base stations and units you'll actually need — oversizing a CipherLab setup is a common (and avoidable) way to overspend.
