Handheld bar code reader Newland HR33 Marlin 1D/2D CMOS Wired Black

The Newland HR33 Marlin corded handheld barcode reader provides reliable capture of 1D and 2D barcodes using Newland EMEA decoding technology. Designed as a lightweight (140 g) and ergonomic scanner with a CMOS sensor and wired connectivity (USB, RS-232), the HR33 Marlin suits retail, inventory and other high-intensity scanning environments. It offers an IP52 rating and a 1.5 m drop specification and is powered over USB with typical current draw around 281 mA.

Advantages

The HR33 Marlin combines high decoding performance with an elegant, balanced design that is comfortable to hold during extended use. It includes a megapixel sensor and optional laser aimer (Acuscan) for improved targeting on dense or closely printed barcodes. Advanced Scripting and legacy Easyset configuration allow flexible programming for complex scanning workflows. Multiple hands-free stand options (adjustable auto-sense and gooseneck) expand deployment choices.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning

How to use

Connect the HR33 Marlin to a host via the supplied USB or RS-232 cable and install any required drivers or configuration utilities. Hold the scanner comfortably and align the aiming reticle with the barcode; press the trigger to initiate a scan or place the unit into a hands-free stand and use auto-sense mode where available. Use Easyset or the advanced Scripting option to configure protocols, suffixes/prefixes, and behavior for integration with POS or inventory systems.

Recommendations

For best results, choose the Acuscan laser aimer when scanning closely spaced or high-density barcodes, and select the adjustable auto-sense or gooseneck stand for frequent hands-free operation. Maintain a clean window on the CMOS sensor and avoid exposing the scanner to prolonged heavy water spray despite its IP52 rating.
