Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The HR32 corded scanner reads a 1D or 2D barcode by capturing its image. Adopting the advanced
technology independently developed by Newland Auto-ID Tech, it provides users with three scan
modes, including Manual Mode, Sense Mode and Continuous Mode, tailored to different scanning needs.
An illustrated introduction to the HR32 corded scanner is included in this chapter. If you have an HR32
corded scanner at hand, make good use of it to develop a better understanding of this manual. This
chapter is written for normal users, maintenance staff and software developers.
Features of the HR32
Comprehensive data capture: most 1D and 2D barcodes.
Fast and accurate decoding capability: integrates high-performance processor and barcode decoder
board.
Easy to configure and update.
Unpacking
Open the package and take out HR32 corded 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 package and contact your dealer immediately for after-sale service.

Use USB Cable
Fig. 1-3
Connect the HR32 corded scanner to a Host through a USB cable with RJ45 and USB connectors:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data port (see Fig.1-1) on the scanner.
2. Plug the USB connector into the USB port on the Host.
6

Use RS-232 Cable
Fig. 1-4
Connect the HR32 corded scanner to a Host through an RS-232 cable with RJ45, RS-232 and power
connectors:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data port (see Fig.1-1) on the scanner.
2. Plug the RS-232 connector into the RS-232 port on the Host.
3. Connect the supplied power adaptor to the power connector of the RS-232 cable.
7

Remove Communication Cable
Fig. 1-5
Get an appropriate needle or a straightened paper clip (Fig. 1-5) and then follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the power adaptor from mains if there is one.
2. Insert the needle into the hole.
3. Pull out the cable slowly from the scanner while pressing the needle in.
4. Remove the needle.
5. Disconnect the cable from the Host.
Power On, Sleep, Power Off, Reboot
Power on the scanner
Connect the scanner to a Host. Then the scanner will be turned on and automatically enter the sleep
mode.
Enter the sleep mode
If no operation is performed on the device for some time, the device will automatically enter the sleep
state. (Applicable to the Manual mode only)
Power off the scanner
Remove the communication cable from the scanner; or remove the USB cable from the Host; or
disconnect the power adaptor from mains.
Reboot the scanner
If the scanner stops responding to input or runs abnormally, turn off the scanner and then turn it back on.
