Zebra lists the part as a standard base cradle with Bluetooth and charging in a Twilight Black finish. The unit occupies a compact desktop footprint and holds the scanner upright on its charging contacts, so it doubles as a stand between transactions. Because the cradle carries the Bluetooth radio and the wired host connection, it is the fixed half of a cordless scanning station rather than a simple battery charger, and it is the component that determines which host the scanner ultimately talks to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn order supplies one CR0078-SC10007WR cradle. The host interface cable is not included and must be ordered separately, and Zebra specifies that a USB cable used with this standard base must be the unshielded type, in contrast to the CR0078-P presentation cradle which calls for shielded cables. No external power supply, power cord, scanner, spare battery or mounting hardware ships with the cradle. Because host power is only available over USB, the PWR-WUA5V4W0US wall charger is required with RS-232, keyboard wedge and IBM interface cables and is listed as an option for this base, and the 21-135001-01 wall mount bracket for CR00X8-SC standard cradles is available separately. Sites that need charging only, with no host connection, should specify the CR0008-SC10007R charge-only base instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCharging And Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cradle can be powered two ways. When it is connected to a host over USB, the USB port itself supplies power and no external supply is required; with RS-232, keyboard wedge or IBM interface cables, which carry no power, the PWR-WUA5V4W0US wall charger is required; when an external supply is fitted, the cradle always draws from that supply regardless of whether host power is present. The power source changes charge performance, and Zebra documents that a complete charge of a fully discharged scanner battery typically takes about three hours on external power and about five hours when the cradle is powered from the host. Operations that turn scanners around quickly between shifts therefore benefit from adding the optional wall charger, while lighter-duty counters can run on host power alone and keep the workstation clear of extra outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHost Interface Versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHost connectivity is set by fitting the appropriate interface cable and scanning the matching configuration bar code, and this standard base supports an unusually broad set of hosts: USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge, IBM 468X\/469X, wand emulation, scanner emulation and Synapse. The final three are not supported by the CR0078-P presentation cradle, which makes the standard base the correct specification for older or specialized host equipment that a newer cradle cannot serve. On the wireless side, up to three scanners can be paired to a single standard cradle, against seven for a presentation cradle, so a counter staffed by several operators can share one host port instead of cabling a cradle per scanner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign And Environment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cradle is finished in Twilight Black so it blends into standard retail counters, back offices and light industrial workstations, and a Cash Register White variant, CR0078-SC10001WR, covers sites that standardize on lighter equipment. Docking is a simple drop-in action onto the charging contacts, which hold the scanner upright and keep the work surface clear between transactions. A pairing bar code is printed on the cradle body and a power LED confirms that the base is live. One restriction applies: Zebra states that this part is not for use in healthcare environments and directs those sites to CR0078-SC1009BWR, the disinfectant-ready equivalent, so it should not be specified for patient-facing areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDeployment And Management\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeployment is deliberately simple. The cradle is cabled to the host, the interface is selected by scanning a configuration bar code, and each scanner is paired by reading the pairing bar code on the cradle, so a replacement base can be brought into service without specialist tooling or a site visit. Scanners in this family are supported by Zebra's configuration and management tools, including 123Scan and Remote Scanner Management, which allow parameter files to be built, staged and pushed rather than being keyed in by hand at every counter. For fixed installations, the separately ordered 21-135001-01 bracket mounts the standard cradle to a wall, freeing bench space at tills, dispatch desks and service booths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTypical Deployment Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CR0078-SC10007WR is most often specified at retail point of sale, pharmacy and specialty counters, hospitality front desks, warehouse and dispatch benches, back-office receiving stations and light manufacturing workstations, wherever an LI4278, LS4278 or DS6878 is used cordlessly and has to return to a fixed home position. It is equally common as a service spare, because one part covers three scanner generations and connects to USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge and IBM hosts, so a single stocked cradle can restore any of those stations. Multi-operator counters gain the most, since three scanners can share one cradle and one host connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur team can confirm the correct interface cable and power option for your host before you order.
