Newland HR15 Wahoo Series Barcode Scanner (NLS-HR1550-35F)

The Newland HR15 Wahoo is a compact, lightweight 1D handheld scanner for everyday barcode scanning at the checkout, in the stockroom and at the service desk. Its 2500-pixel CCD linear imager and Newland's UIMG decoding technology read all major 1D barcodes quickly – also from a distance, with a feel much closer to a laser scanner than a classic CCD reader. The HR15 Wahoo is available as a corded scanner for USB or RS-232 and as a cordless Bluetooth® version with charging and communication stand. Please note: the HR15 reads 1D barcodes (the corded model also reads PDF417 stacked codes) – it does not read QR codes. This version, NLS-HR1550-35F, is the corded USB kit with stand: it is supplied with a coiled USB cable and the foldable smart stand with auto-sense (NLS-STD20i-32) for hands-free scanning.

Key Features

• Fast 1D scanning – a 2500-pixel CCD linear imager with Newland's UIMG decoding technology reads all major 1D barcodes quickly and from a distance, with performance much closer to a laser scanner than a classic CCD reader.
• Lightweight, ergonomic design – the compact HR15 lies comfortably in the hand and enables all-day scanning in scan-intensive situations, reducing fatigue.
• Easy setup with EasySet – Newland's EasySet configuration tool sets up the scanner, clones settings to other devices and prints configuration barcodes.
• Reads PDF417 too – besides all common 1D codes, the corded HR15 reads PDF417 and MicroPDF417 stacked codes at up to 300 scans per second.
• Dual interface: USB and RS-232 – the interface is determined by the cable; the smart stand (included with NLS-HR1550-35F) switches automatically between handheld and hands-free scanning.
• Rugged with a 5-year warranty – IP54 protection against dust and splashing water, survives 1.5 m drops and is backed by a 5-year Newland warranty.

Technical Specifications

Not sure which version you need? For a PC or POS with a USB port, choose the NLS-HR1550-35 with coiled USB cable – or the NLS-HR1550-35F if you also want the foldable smart stand for hands-free scanning. For a serial RS-232 connection, the NLS-HR1550-38 includes both the RS-232 cable and the power supply, while for the NLS-HR1550-37 a 5 V power supply has to be ordered separately. To scan without a cable, choose the cordless NLS-HR1580-BT-SD with its charging and communication stand. Need to read QR codes or other 2D codes? Then choose a 2D scanner.
