Pevná čítačka čiarových kódov Newland FR40 Koi

The Newland FR40 Koi is a fixed barcode reader with a megapixel CMOS sensor designed to read both 1D and 2D barcodes, including Aztec and QR codes. It is a presentation-style scanner that offers wired connectivity (RS-232, USB), an IP52-rated enclosure for protection against dust and splashing water, and a compact, lightweight design suitable for retail, pharmacy, ticketing and other point-of-sale environments.

Advantages

The FR40 Koi delivers fast and accurate decoding of complex 1D and 2D barcodes thanks to its megapixel sensor. A physical switch allows quick toggling between paper and screen modes so the reader is optimized for barcodes printed on paper or shown on electronic displays. Its 10° angle and soft illumination provide comfortable presentation scanning while minimizing attention when facing customers. The unit is resistant to everyday hazards with IP52 sealing and can survive repeated 1.2 m drops to concrete. An IR trigger enables rapid automatic capture when a barcode is presented.

How to use

Place the FR40 Koi on the counter or mount it according to the installation instructions so the scanner face is accessible for barcode presentation. Use the paper/screen mode switch to select the appropriate reading mode for printed labels or codes displayed on phones or other screens. Present the barcode within the scanner’s field of view at a comfortable angle; the IR trigger will detect the presence of a barcode and initiate capture. Connect the device by RS-232 or USB to the host system and configure the interface settings if required.

Recommendations

For reliable reads, keep the scanner window clean and avoid direct harsh lighting that may cause reflections on screens. Select screen mode when scanning barcodes from mobile devices and paper mode for printed labels. Regularly check cable connections and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to preserve IP52 sealing and drop-resistance performance.
