Handheld bar code reader Newland HR32 Marlin 1D/2D Wireless Bluetooth

The Newland HR32 Marlin 1D/2D Wireless Bluetooth handheld barcode reader uses Bluetooth 5.0 for a stable, low-interference wireless connection. Equipped with megapixel scanning technology, the HR32 Marlin reads virtually all 1D and 2D barcodes, including long or truncated 1D codes and larger, high-density 2D codes. The device includes a detachable USB dongle and a charging cradle that can act as a communication cradle, making it suitable for both handheld and hands-free operation at POS or on the shop floor.

Advantages

The scanner provides robust Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, megapixel-level barcode recognition for improved reading of difficult or dense codes, and a modular dock-and-dongle design that supports both tethered and untethered use. Its 2200 mAh battery combined with low-power consumption delivers over 12 hours of operation on a full charge, with recharge times under 4 hours. The HR32 Marlin is lightweight (0.217 kg), has IP42 protection and survives drops from 1.5 m, making it suitable for many commercial environments.
