Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The NLS-FM305X-2X fixed mount barcode scanner (hereinafter referred to as “FM30 scanner” or “the
FM30”or “the scanner”), armed with the world-leading Newland patented , a computerized image
recognition system-on-chip, bring about a new era of 2D barcode scanner.
The FM30 supports all mainstream 1D and standard 2D barcode symbologies (e.g., PDF417, QR Code
M1/M2/Micro, Data Matrix and Chinese Sensible Code) as well as GS1-DataBarTM(RSS)
(Limited/Stacked/Expanded versions). It can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card,
mobile phones and LCD displays.
Designed for fixed mount integrations, this scanner is easy to fit into various equipment such as
self-service cabinets, vending machines, ATMs, access control, retail POS and fast food self-ordering
kiosks.
About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for FM30 scanner. Users can configure the scanner by
scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The scanner has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further
configuration. Users may check Appendix 1: Factory Defaults Table for reference. Throughout the
manual, asterisks (**) indicate factory default values.
Unpacking
Open the package and take out the scanner and its accessories. Check to make sure everything on the
packing list is present and intact. If any contents are damaged or missing, please keep the original
