Chapter 1Getting Started
Introduction
HR20-BT scanner reads a 1D or 2D barcode by capturing its image. Adopting the advancedtechnology independently
developed by Newland Auto-ID Techand2d image embedding application barcodeengine, it begins a new era of 2d image
embedding application barcodeengine.
Newland2d 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.
NLS-HR20-BT 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.
NLS-HR20-BTcan 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 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
todecodeddataandcapturedimagesandtoconfigurescanners.Formoreinformationaboutthistool,refertothe EasySet
UserGuide.
