Fixed bar code reader Newland FR50 1D/2D CMOS Wired USB Black

The Newland FR50 Pearl fixed bar code reader combines a refined appearance with reliable 1D and 2D scanning performance. Featuring a 2D megapixel CMOS sensor and wired USB connectivity, the FR50 reads small and inverse codes at greater distance and copes with codes on reflective surfaces such as phone screens. Presented in black (white available on project request), the compact unit includes a magnetic socket for flexible mounting and is suited to retail countertops and other customer-facing points of sale. The scanner has an IP42 rating, low power consumption (1.53 W) and weighs 324 g.

Advantages

The FR50 Pearl delivers high-resolution 2D barcode scanning that improves read distance and handles damaged, low-contrast or inverse codes. Built-in IR and ambient light sensors enable reliable triggering both in bright and poorly lit environments, while Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) adapts illumination to reflective surfaces. A safe LED aiming system provides accurate targeting without laser-related health concerns. The magnetic socket simplifies mounting and cleaning, making the device versatile for different counter layouts.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale counters (non-food and boutique environments)
• Customer-facing scanning at service desks and kiosks
• Environments requiring compact fixed scanners with USB connectivity

How to use

Connect the FR50 to a host system via the USB cable and position the scanner on the counter or mount it using the integrated magnetic socket. Present barcodes in front of the scanner window so the aiming LED can indicate proper alignment; the device will trigger automatically using the light and IR sensors. The AEC adjusts illumination for codes on reflective or low-contrast surfaces, so scanning phone screens and printed labels requires no special settings.

Recommendations

Place the scanner where the aiming LED is clearly visible to customers and staff; avoid strong direct sunlight on the scan window. For cleaning, detach the unit from its magnetic mount if needed and follow the manufacturer’s approved cleaning solutions to preserve optics and housing.
