Chapter 2 Optional Configuration 1. RS-232 cable 2. 5V power adapter You should retain proof of purchase and ask your dealer for a warranty card. Note: You should check to make sure that everything on the standard configuration list is present and intact after opening the package.
● Keep the scanner away from fire or heat sources. If there is unusual odor, overheating or smoke, immediately cut off the power and disconnect the power adapter, and contact your dealer or Newland customer service center. Continued use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
Chapter 4 Product Features Designed primarily for such applications as electronic tickets/coupons, mobile marketing and office automation, the NLS-FR20 series fixed mount barcode scanner is able to read barcodes from paper and mobile phones. It boasts the following features: 1. Digital barcode data capture Capable of reading 1D and 2D barcodes off mobile phones.
Chapter 7 Wiring 1. If your scanner is equipped with an RS-232 interface: 1) Plug the supplied cable’s RJ45 connector into the data port on the scanner. 2) Plug the cable’s RS-232 connector into the RS-232 port on PC. 3) Plug the power adapter into the cable’s power jack. ③...

2. If your scanner is equipped with a USB interface: 1) Plug the supplied cable’s RJ45 connector into the data port on the scanner. 2) Plug the cable’s USB connector into the USB port on PC. ② ① 3) After 0.5s the scanner will be powered on (indicator: beep and red LED) and then automatically enter standby mode.
Chapter 8 Scanning Instructions Reading a Digital Barcode off Mobile Phone 1. Place the mobile phone screen as close as possible to the scan window and present the barcode to the center of the window. 2. For a successful read, the scanner will beep with its LED turning from red to green. After sending the data to the host, it will enter standby mode.
Chapter 9 System Settings Illumination Always ON: Illumination LED keeps ON after the scanner is powered on. Normal: Illumination LED is turned on when the scanner is reading barcode. OFF: Illumination LED is OFF all the time. ** Normal Always ON...

Scan Mode Sense Mode The scanner activates a decode session every time when it detects a change in ambient illumination and meets the requirement of the image stabilization timeout. Decode session continues until barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. Moreover, a trigger pull can also activate a decode session.
Page 22
Sensitivity: This parameter specifies the degree of acuteness of the scanner’s response to changes in ambient illumination. The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the scanner. You can select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment. High Sensitivity Medium Sensitivity Low Sensitivity...
Continuous Mode When enabled, the scanner activates decode sessions at user-specified intervals, i.e. the timeout between decodes. Each decode session lasts until barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. To suspend/resume the operation, simply press the trigger. Continuous Mode Decode Session Timeout: This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt.
Page 24
Timeout between Decodes: When a decode session ends, next session will not happen until the timeout between decodes expires. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0s to 25.5s. Timeout between Decodes Example: Set the Timeout between Decodes to 5s 1.
Factory Defaults Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults. You may need to reset your scanner when: 1. scanner is not properly configured so that it fails to decode barcodes; 2. you forget previous configuration and want to avoid its impact; 3.
Save/Cancel Barcodes After reading numeric barcode(s), you need to scan the Save barcode to save the data. If you scan the wrong digit(s), you can either scan the Cancel the Last Digit barcode and then the correct digit, or scan the Cancel All Digits barcode and then the digits you want.
Chapter 10 RS-232 Interface When the scanner is connected to a host device through its RS-232 interface, serial communication is enabled by default. However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set the scanner’s communication parameters (including baud rate) to match the host’s settings. The default settings of the scanner are 9600bps, no parity check, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Chapter 11 USB Interface When the scanner is connected to a host device through its USB interface, USB HID-KBW is enabled by default. You may switch to HID-POS or USB COM Port Emulation by scanning the appropriate barcode below. HID-POS HID-POS USB COM Port Emulation USB COM Port Emulation...
Three methods of input are provided for USB HID-KBW: Standard Keyboard, Function Key Mapping, Emulate ALT+Keypad. Standard Keyboard ** Standard Keyboard Function Key Mapping When Function Key Mapping is enabled, function character (0x00 - 0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad.

Emulate ALT+Keypad When Emulate ALT+Keypad is enabled, any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) is sent over the numeric keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected. 1. ALT Make 2. Enter the number corresponding to the ASCII character on the keypad. 3.
Chapter 12 Symbologies Introduction Every symbology (barcode type) has its own unique attributes. This chapter provides programming barcodes for configuring the scanner so that it can identify various barcode symbologies. It is recommended to disable those that are rarely used to increase the efficiency of the scanner. Global Settings Disable All Symbologies If all symbologies are disabled, the scanner can only identify programming barcodes.
