The Newland HR23 Dorada is an affordable, ergonomic 2D handheld scanner that brings 2D performance at an entry-level price. Its 640 × 480 CMOS imager and Newland's latest decoding technology quickly read all common 1D and 2D barcodes – including QR codes, Data Matrix and PDF417 as well as damaged, distorted or high-density codes. With IP52 sealing, a 1.5 m drop rating and beep, LED and vibration feedback, the HR23 is built for busy counters. It is available as a corded USB scanner and as a cordless Bluetooth® version. This version, NLS-HR2300-BT, is the cordless Bluetooth kit: it is supplied with a removable 2600 mAh battery and a charging and communication cradle with USB cable – ready to use, no power supply needed.

Key Features
- 2D imager at an entry-level price – a 640 × 480 CMOS sensor with Newland's latest decoding technology reads all common 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec, with resolution down to 3 mil.
- Reads difficult codes – reliably captures damaged, distorted and high-density barcodes; the field of view (45° horizontal, 34° vertical) and 360° roll tolerance make aiming effortless.
- Triple read confirmation – beep, LED and vibration feedback, so every good read is noticed even in noisy environments.
- Rugged for daily use – IP52 protection against dust and dripping water, and it survives 1.5 m drops onto concrete.
- Easy setup with EasySet – Newland's EasySet software configures the scanner, clones settings to other devices, updates firmware and prints configuration barcodes.
