1 - Introduction
JADAK’s Flexpoint™HS-1R is a hand-held barcode and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
reader that utilizes area imaging technology to read popular linear (1D), stacked linear, and
matrix (2D) barcodes, combined with reading and writing High Frequency (HF or 13.56MHz)
RFID tags in close distance (10 to 40mm).
With a small ergonomic shape, the HS-1R can be used in a wide variety of applications, but is
specifically designed for healthcare applications and environments. The HS-1R has a sealed
housing that protects it from day to day debris and spills and is built with medical grade plastics
that are compatible with popular medical cleansers and disinfectants.
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Flexpoint™HS-
1R. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also
included. JADAK’s barcode imagers are factory programmed for the most common terminal
and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is
accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide or sending the relevant commands
serially.
Note: An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

2 – Hardware Overview
CAT-HS-1R Class 2 Laser Warning
Some versions of the HS-1R contain a laser based aiming system that is fully compliant with
eye safety certifications. For those customers that prefer a non-laser based aiming system,
versions of the HS-1R with LED based aiming systems are available as well.
CAUTION This device emits CDRH/IEC Class 2 laser and IEC Class 1M light.
Do not stare into beam.
Some versions of the Flexpoint™HS-1R use a 650 or 655 nm laser and a pattern forming element to
generate a laser aiming pattern which represents the imager's field of view throughout its entire depth of
field. The pattern's center dot indicates the center of the field of view.
JADAK®Flexpoint™ HS-1R Imager Identification
On the bottom of your scanner you will see a label as shown below:
Configuration String
Serial Number
Configuration String:
The configuration string is a 10 digit string with the first 9 digits being a factory configuration
number and the last digit being the revision of the product.
Please consult the factory for configuration information.
Serial Number:
The serial number format is as follows: YYMMDD-NNN
Where:
YY = Year
MM = Month

Flexpoint™ HS-1R User’s Manual Page 14
DD = Day
NNN = Number of unit
Reading Techniques
The imager has a view finder or aimer that projects a bright red cross or a green beam, which
corresponds to the imager’s horizontal/vertical field of view. The aimer should be centered over
the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther
from the code.
Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (lower mil size) should be read closer to the unit.
Symbologies with larger bars or elements (higher mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an
appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol.
If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Interface Settings
Connecting the HS-1R with USB Port
Note: These instructions are for use with the USB (JADAK CBL-0144) cable.
1. If you are using USB Serial Communication Port Emulation interface, you must first load the
driver for that interface onto your computer.
The driver is available from your JADAK technical support contact.
No driver is required when using the USB HID Keyboard interface.
2. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the HS-1R hand scanner.
Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of
terminal/computer.
3. Plug the USB-A connector into a free USB port on your computer.
4. Once the imager has been fully connected, power up the computer.

Interface Options
USB COM Port Emulation
Scan the following code to program the HS1-R to emulate a regular RS-232-based COM port.
Note: The HS-1R must be power cycled after programming this interface!

Keyboard Country Layout
When the HS-1R is set to USB HID Keyboard Emulation, use the following commands or
programming barcodes to set the specific Keyboard layout for your language.
Default = United States.
* United States: United Kingdom:
Belgium: Denmark:
France: Germany:
Italy: Netherlands:
Norway: Portugal:
Spain: Sweden / Finland:

Flexpoint™ HS-1R User’s Manual Page 18
HID Keyboard Rate
If you use the HS-1R in USB HID Keyboard mode, it’s possible to change the speed of the data
output when an RFID tag or barcode is read, akin to someone typing the data faster or slower on
a keyboard. Faster settings may lead to data loss when large amounts of data are transmitted.
Note: This setting has no impact when using the HS-1R in USB COM Emulation mode.
Scan one of the codes below to change the Keyboard Rate setting. Default = Keyrate 1.
Note: The HS-1R must be power cycled after changing the Keyboard rate!
Keyrate Slow * Keyrate Medium
Keyrate Fast Keyrate Fastest

Flexpoint™ HS-1R User’s Manual Page 19
Default Options
Custom Default Settings
Scan the following code revert the unit to its custom default settings.
Note: The HS-1R must be power cycled after programming this command!
To set custom defaults, please contact Jadak.
Factory Default Settings
Scan the following code revert the unit to its factory default settings.
Note: The HS-1R must be power cycled after programming this command!

Input/Output Settings
Good Read Indicators
Beeper Volume - Good Read
The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the imager emits on a good read.
Default = High.
Off Low
Medium * High
No Reads
Not every trigger event will result in a successful barcode read. When there is no code read the
HS-1R may return a no read signer in the form of the characters NR. Default = Disable No Read.
* Disable No Read Enable No Read
Vibration
The HS-1R has an optional internal Vibration function that can be turned on for good reads (both
RFID and barcodes). This can be very helpful in an environment where an audible beep would
be unwanted; for instance in a patient ward at night in a hospital, where patients are sleeping.
Default = Disabled
* Don’t Vibrate Vibrate on Good Read
