Handheld barcode reader Newland HR1250-70

The Newland HR1250-70 handheld barcode reader is a compact 1D scanner designed for reliable linear barcode capture in retail, logistics and general-purpose scanning tasks. It uses a CCD sensor and Newland's latest 1D decoding chip to deliver fast, accurate reads while keeping power consumption low. The scanner is lightweight (0.13 kg), wired via USB and meets FCC and CE certifications.

Advantages

The HR1250-70 achieves up to 300 reads per second for rapid barcode capture and offers stable decoding performance for common linear symbologies such as Code 128, Code 39 and EAN-13. Its ergonomic, solid-state design provides comfortable handling and durability for everyday use, while low power draw (120 mA) makes it energy-efficient for continuous operation. The product is a straightforward, entry-level solution that balances performance and cost.

How to use

Connect the HR1250-70 to a computer or POS terminal via the USB cable; the device does not require batteries. Point the scanner at the linear barcode so the CCD sensor covers the code area and press the trigger (or activate the continuous scanning mode if supported by your host software). Hold the scanner steady until the read confirmation is received by your system. For best results, maintain an appropriate distance and angle according to the barcode size and the host application.

Recommendations

Use the HR1250-70 on clean, undamaged barcode labels and avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight or reflective surfaces. Regularly wipe the scanner window with a soft, lint-free cloth. For high-density or damaged codes consider using a dedicated 2D imager, as this model supports only 1D symbologies.
