The Newland HR23 Dorada is an affordable, ergonomic 2D handheld scanner that brings 2D performance at an entry-level price. Its 640 × 480 CMOS imager and Newland's latest decoding technology quickly read all common 1D and 2D barcodes – including QR codes, Data Matrix and PDF417 as well as damaged, distorted or high-density codes. With IP52 sealing, a 1.5 m drop rating and beep, LED and vibration feedback, the HR23 is built for busy counters. It is available as a corded USB scanner and as a cordless Bluetooth® version. This version, NLS-HR2300-S5, is the corded USB kit: it is supplied with a coiled USB cable (CBL030UA), ready to plug in and scan.

Key Features
