Appendix A: Recommended Scanning Procedure
The CPX-900 uses an optional 1D/2D barcode scanner built into the back of the tester to scan the
VIN of the vehicle being tested. This number is then cross referenced with the original equipment
manufacturer's battery specications stored in the tester's database and displayed on the tester
screen.
NOTE:
Barcode types supported by the CPX-900 include A: 1D: Code 39, Code 128, UPC,
Codabar, GS1-Limited; 2D: PDF417, QR Code: Model 2, and Data Matrix type barcodes.

• Lighting/Glare: If sunlight is shining directly onto the VIN barcode, try pivoting the scanner
up or down slightly to reduce any glare.
