Handheld bar code reader Newland HR52 Bonito 1D/2D CMOS Black

The Newland HR52 Bonito is a wired handheld barcode reader designed for reliable 1D and 2D scanning at the point of sale and in back‑of‑house operations. Equipped with a megapixel CMOS sensor and DotCode support, it reads damaged, creased or cellophane‑covered barcodes and comes with a 3 m coiled USB cable and a foldable smart stand for both handheld and hands‑free use.

Advantages

The HR52 Bonito delivers fast, accurate scans using a megapixel engine that handles virtually all 1D and 2D codes, including DotCode on tobacco products. A gentle white illumination and a clear cross laser aimer with Acuscan aiming technology enable precise point‑and‑shoot capture even when multiple barcodes are present. The unit is built for durability with 1.8 m drop resistance and includes a stand that supports vertical or horizontal mounting for flexible placement.

• Retail point of sale (cashiers and self‑checkout attendants)

How to use

The scanner will decode most 1D and 2D barcodes automatically when within the readable range.

Recommendations

For best performance at the POS, keep the scanner lens free of dust and fingerprints and use the smart stand for frequent hands‑free scanning. Avoid exposing the scanner to prolonged direct sunlight and ensure the USB host supplies standard 5 V power for stable operation.
