Explanation of Icons
This icon indicates something relevant to this manual.
This icon indicates this information requires extra attention from the reader.
This icon indicates handy tips that can help you use or configure the scanner with ease.
This icon indicates practical examples that can help you to acquaint yourself with operations.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The scanner reads a 1D or 2D barcode by capturing its image. Adopting the advanced technology independently developed
by Newland Auto-ID Tech and2d image embedding application barcode engine, it begins a new era of 2d image embedding
application barcode engine.
Newland 2D decode IC combines advanced UIMG and IC designation and manufacturing technology, simplifying the
difficulties of designation of 2d decode products, establishing remarks of high quality, high reliability and low consumption
products.
The scanner can read kinds of mainstream 1D barcodes, standard 2D barcodes.( all versions of PDF417,QR Code
M1/M2/Micro and Data Matrix) and GS1-DataBarTM (RSS) barcodes, including Limited, Stacked, Expanded and so on.
The scanner can read barcodes in papers, plastic cards, LCD and other kinds of mediums of printing and displaying. It has
great performance. All-in-one design is extremely light and only needs small operation space It can be embedded in varieties
of application.

Chapter 2 Easyset
EasySet supports Windows operating systems. EasySet, developed by Fujian Newland Auto-ID Tech. Co., Ltd., is a
configuration tool for Newland’s 1D/2D handheld barcode scanner, fixed mount barcode scanners and OEM scan engines.
Its main features includeing View device & configuration information of online device and send serial commands to online
device and receive device response.

5
Chapter 3 System Setting
Introduction
There are three ways to configure the scanner: barcode programming, command programming and EasySet programming.
Barcode Programming
The scanner can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable features/options are described
along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections.
This programming method is most straightforward. However, it requires manually scanning barcodes. As a result, errors are
more likely to occur.
Command Programming
The scanner can also be configured by serial commands sent from the host device.
Users can design an application program to send those command strings to the scanners to perform device configuration.
EasySet Programming
Besides the two methods mentioned above, you can conveniently perform scanner configuration through EasySet too.
EasySet is a Windows-based configuration tool particularly designed for Newland products, enabling users to gain access
to decoded data and captured images and to configure scanners. For more information about this tool, refer to the EasySet
User Guide.
