Configure scanning parameters, symbologies, and communication settings with Newland Easyset software if customization is required. For handheld scanning, hold the scanner comfortably and align the aiming pattern with the barcode; press the trigger to capture. For hands-free operation, mount the scanner on a compatible Smart Stand or gooseneck stand and present items to the scan window.

Recommendations

For best results with damaged or high-density barcodes, use the scanner at a stable angle and adjust the stand distance if scanning hands-free. Periodically update firmware with Easyset and avoid exposing the device to heavy water spray despite its IP52 rating.
