1 - Introduction
The JADAK HS-1RS is a handheld 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 (13.56 MHz) as well as Low
Frequency (125 KHz or 134.2 KHz) RFID tags in close distance (10 to 40mm).
With a small ergonomic shape, the HS-1RS can be used in a wide variety of applications but is
specifically designed for healthcare applications and environments. The HS-1RS 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 Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the HS-1RS. 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.

HS-1RS User Guide

Hardware Overview
JADAK®HS-1RS 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
DD = Day
NNN = Unit Number
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. See the following page for
examples:

HS-1RS User Guide
Page 13
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.

2 - Interface Settings
Connecting the HS-1RS with USB Port
Note: These instructions are for use with the USB (JADAK CBL-0080 Rev C) 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-1RS 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
HOSTCFG command is used to select data output interface while the scanner is in composite
mode. Scan the following code to program the HS-1RS to emulate a regular RS-232-based COM
port.
Note: The HS-1RS must be power cycled after programming this interface!
USB COM Emulation
USB HID Keyboard Emulation
HOSTCFG command is used to select data output interface while the scanner is in composite
mode. Scan the following code to program the HS-1RS for USB HID Keyboard mode.
Note: The HS-1RS must be power cycled after programming this interface!

Keyboard Country Layout
When the HS-1RS is set to USB HID Keyboard Emulation, use the following commands (without
prefix “JDK”) 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:

HS-1RS User Guide
Page 17
HID Keyboard Rate
If you use the HS-1RS in USB HID Keyboard mode, it is 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-1RS in USB COM Emulation mode.
Scan one of the codes below to change the Keyboard Rate setting. Default = Keyrate 3.
Note: The HS-1RS must be power cycled after changing the Keyboard rate!
Keyrate Slow Keyrate Medium
Keyrate Fast * Keyrate Fastest

Custom Default Settings
Scan the following code revert the unit to its custom default settings.
Note: The HS-1RS 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-1RS must be power cycled after programming this command!

3 - 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-1RS 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-1RS 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 = Enabled
Don’t Vibrate * Vibrate on Good Read

HS-1RS User Guide
Page 20
Trigger Commands
To scan barcodes, you need to ‘trigger’ the HS-1RS. This can be done in various ways. You
can activate the HS-1RS by sending the trigger command TRGON serially or by pressing the
trigger button on the scanner itself.
Several supporting commands are provided to set the allowed trigger time-out (e.g.,
the maximum time that the scanner will take to keep looking for a barcode.)
TRGON This command turns the trigger ON.
TRGOFF This command turns the trigger OFF.
Trigger Modes
Manual Trigger (level)
You can activate the imager by pressing the trigger or sending the serial trigger command
TRGON. When in manual trigger mode, the HS-1RS scans until a bar code is read, until
the trigger is released, a TRGOFF command is sent, or a time-out occurs.
Use the command below to enable Manual Trigger Mode.
* Manual (level) Trigger
Presentation Mode
Presentation mode is a hands-free mode of operation in which the imager will
automatically trigger on when an object is moved into the field of view.
The HS-1RS will not enter low power mode while in Presentation Mode.
Use the command below to enable Presentation Mode.
