Connect HR1050 to a Host
HR1050 scanner must be connected to a host device in actual application, such as PC, POS or any
intelligent terminal with USB or RS-232 or PS/2 (hardware version: V2 or higher) interface, using a
communication cable (USB or RS-232 or PS/2 cable).

Note: Please check the port on the host and purchase the right cable.

5
Use USB Cable
Fig. 1-3
Connect HR1050 scanner to a Host through a USB cable with RJ45 and USB connectors:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the cable slot (see Fig.1-1) on the scanner.
2. Plug the USB connector into the USB port on the Host.
Use RS-232 Cable
Fig. 1-4
Connect HR1050 scanner to a Host through an RS-232 cable with RJ45/RS-232 connectors and a power
jack:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the cable slot (see Fig.1-1) on the scanner.
2. Plug the RS-232 connector into the RS-232 port on the Host.
3. Plug the power adapter into the power jack on the RS-232 cable.

6
Use PS/2 Cable (Hardware Version: V2 or higher)
Fig. 1-5
Connect HR1050 scanner to a Host through a PS/2 cable with RJ45 and PS/2 connectors and a power
jack:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data slot (see Fig.1-1) on the scanner.
2. Plug the PS/2 connector into the PS/2 port on the Host.
3. When required, plug the power adapter into the power jack on the PS/2 cable.
4. When required, connect the PS/2 cable to a keyboard via its PS/2 port.

7
Remove Communication Cable
Fig. 1-6
Get an appropriate needle or a straightened paper clip and then follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the power adapter from mains and the scanner if there is one.
2. Insert the needle into the disassemble hole (Fig. 1-6).
3. Pull out the cable slowly from the scanner while pressing the needle in. Then remove the needle.
4. Disconnect the cable from the Host.
Power on, Power off, Sleep, Reboot
Power on the scanner
Connect the scanner to a host device. Then the scanner will be turned on and automatically go into sleep
mode.
Power off the scanner
There are three ways to turn off the scanner:
Remove the cable from the scanner.
Remove the cable from the host device.
Disconnect the power adapter from mains or the scanner.
Enter the sleep mode
If no operation is performed on the scanner for some time, the scanner will automatically enter the sleep
state.
Reboot the scanner
If the scanner stops responding to input or runs abnormally, disconnect the scanner from the host device
and then reconnect it.

8
Maintenance
The scan window should be kept clean.
Do not scratch the scan window of the device.
Use soft brush to remove the stain from the scan window.
Use the soft cloth to clean the window, such as eyeglass cleaning cloth.
Do not spray any liquid on the scan window.
Clean other parts of the device with water only.
Note: The warranty DOES NOT cover damages caused by inappropriate care and maintenance.

Scanning Instructions
When the HR1050 scanner is in the Manual mode, you can follow the steps below to scan a barcode:
1. Hold down the trigger. Then the scanner will project a red aiming beam.
2. Aim the red beam across the center of barcode, as shown in Fig.1-10.
3. Release the trigger when the red beam goes off. For a successful read, the scanner will beep and
send the decoded data to the Host.
Note: For barcodes of the same batch, the scanner keeps a very high success ratio in certain distance
which is regarded as the optimal scanning distance.
