Newland FM80 Salmon Counter Scanner (NLS-FM8080-20)

The Newland FM80 Salmon is a high-performance built-in (fixed-mount) 2D scanner with an extra-large scan window – the counter-mounted sibling of the FR80 Salmon presentation scanner. It is designed to sit flush in checkout counters, self-service checkouts and kiosks, with six anchor points on the front edge of the window and a soft inlay around it for a neat fit. Its megapixel 1280 × 1088 sensor reads all major 1D and 2D barcodes – including damaged, poorly printed and high-density codes on alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical products – from labels as well as phone screens, and captures EAN codes moving at up to 3.5 m/s. IP52 sealing and a 5-year (60-month) Newland warranty. This version, NLS-FM8080-20, is the USB kit: it is supplied with a 3 m USB cable – ready to plug in and scan, powered via USB, no power supply needed.

Key Features

• Megapixel performance – the 1280 × 1088 CMOS sensor reads all major 1D and 2D codes (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Micro QR, Micro PDF417 and more), including damaged, poorly printed and high-density codes; GS1 ready.
• Large scan window, high motion tolerance – captures EAN codes moving at up to 3.5 m/s; the large window and short depth of field read codes on bulky goods or items held very close, so users – experienced or not – do not need to line codes up precisely, and full baskets go through faster.
• Made for flush installation – six anchor points on the front edge of the window and a soft inlay around the window edge give a clean, comfortable fit in counters and enclosures; only 78.5 mm deep.
• Comfortable for customers and staff – anti-glare short- and long-range illumination does not dazzle anyone, and codes on customers' phone screens (e-vouchers, loyalty cards, scan-to-pay QR codes) are read reliably.
• Double-read prevention – active sensors tell a deliberately presented code from one that simply stays in front of the window, preventing accidental double scans of the same item.
• Dual interface, easy integration – USB (HID keyboard, USB CDC virtual COM, HID-POS, IBM SurePOS) and RS-232 via the detachable cable on the RJ45 port, with automatic USB/serial detection; multi-colour status LED, EasySet configuration tool and a 5-year Newland warranty.

Ideal Applications

• Supermarkets and retail checkouts – built into the counter for fast processing of full baskets
• Self-service checkouts and kiosks – loyalty codes, e-vouchers and scan-to-pay QR codes from phone screens
• Liquor, tobacco and pharmacy counters – high-density 2D codes on alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical packaging
• Hospitality and leisure – tickets, vouchers and booking codes on paper or phone screens
• Parking pay stations – parking tickets and payment QR codes
• Postal counters – shipping labels and pick-up codes
