Communication Mode
There are three communication modes: synchronous mode (default), asynchronous mode and batch mode.
Synchronous mode:
If Zigbee is available, scanned data will be transferred to the cradle immediately after successfully decoded; if
Zigbee is unavailable, the transmission of decoded data cannot be accomplished.
Asynchronous mode:
If Zigbee is available, scanned data will be transferred to the cradle immediately after successfully decoded; if
Zigbee is unavailable, the decoded data will be first stored in the flash memory in a FIFO (first in first out) manner,
and be sent automatically to the cradle when Zigbee becomes available.
Batch mode:
Whether Zigbee is available or not, the decoded data will be stored in the flash memory. To send the stored data to
the cradle, you need to insert the scanner in the cradle and then press “P” button (see Fig.1-2) on the cradle.

Scanning Instructions
When the NLS-HR15 Hand-held Barcode Scanner is in the Manual mode (default), you can follow the steps below to scan
a barcode:
1. Hold down the trigger . Then the scanne r w i ll project a red a iming beam.
2. Aim the red beam across the center of barcode, as shown in Fig.1-13.
3. Release the trigger when the scanner beeps and the red beam goes off. If the barcode is decoded successfully, the
data will be sent to the Host.
Note: For the same batch of barcodes, the scanner will keep a very high success ratio in certain distance which can be
regarded as the optimal scanning distance.

Chapter 2 General Settings
Introduction
There are two ways to configure the NLS-HR15 Hand-held Barcode Scanner: barcode programming and command
programming.
Barcode Programming
The NLS-HR15 Hand-held Barcode Scanner scans a series of barcodes to program features. In the following sections,
we will explain the available options and features and provide the barcodes to program them.
This programming method is most straightforward. However, it requires manually scanning barcodes. As a result, errors
are more likely to occur.
Command Programming
You can send the command strings through the Host to your scanner to perform configuration. In the following sections,
the commands will be provided along with programming barcodes.
This configuration can also be performed through our software. For more information, see the “EzSet123 Scanner
Configuration Utility User Guide”.
Note: All settings except temporary ones are stored in non-volatile memory of the scanner and will not be lost
by removing power from the scanner, or turning off/ rebooting the device.

1. The Enter Setup barcode.
2. The Enter Setup command.
3. The function that can be enabled by using the programming barcode or command listed above.
4. ** incidates factory default settings.
Use of Programming Barcodes
Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the scanner to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a number of
programming barcodes to configure your scanner.
The NLS-HR15 Hand-held Barcode Scanner is in the setup mode by default. In real application, programming barcodes
hardly overlap with non-programming barcodes, so it is unnecessary to exit the setup mode each time you finish the
configuration.
Some functions or options may involve parameter value settings that require scanning numeric barcodes. To find the
numeric barcodes, see the “Digit Barcodes” section in Chapter 7.

Page 30
**【Enter Setup】
Use of Command
Based on serial port communication, programming commands can be composed of printable ASCII characters, 0x20
(space) through 0x7D
Programming Mode
Before configuring the NLS-HR15 Hand-held Barcode Scanner through serial communication, the device must enter the
programming mode; in such mode, the device will only accept and process commands and respond accordingly.
You can enable the device to enter or exit the programming mode by sending the specified commands to it. In the event
that the device receives no data for 5 seconds, it will exit the programming mode automatically.
Format of Command
1. Enter the programming mode: send “$$$$” from the Host to the scanner, the scanner returns a reply of “@@@@”
to indicate success.
(“}”).
2. Exit the programming mode: send “%%%%” from the Host to the scanner, the scanner returns a reply of “^^^^” to
indicate success.
3. Receiving “^^^^” from the scanner when the Host did not send “%%%% ” to it indicates the scanner has automatically
exit the setup mode.
4. A command string consists of “#”, programming command and “;”, such as “#99900030;”.
5. If a command string is properly processed, the scanner will return a reply consisting of “!”, programming command
and “;”, such as “!99900030;”.
6. If the scanner receives an invalid command string or fails to process a command string, it will return a reply
consisting of “?”, programming command and “;”, such as “?99900030;”
7. If a query command is properly processed, the scanner will return a reply containing “!”, programming command and
“;”, as well as "&{", query result and "}". For example:
send a query command of “#99900301;” to get the firmware version information,
the Host will receive a reply of “!99900301;&{Firmware v1.7.5;Decoder v1.00.023.C6;|FD25430B}”.
Description:
In the reply, “Firmware v1.7.5;Decoder v1.00.023.C6” is the query result; “|” is a separator; and “FD25430B” is
the CRC32 checksum value in hexadecimal format.

Pairing Settings
Pair Scanner with Cradle
The scanner and cradle must be paired for communication to occur. A cradle can be paired with multiple scanners.
You need to perform this operation manually: After the scanner and cradle are powered on, insert the scanner in the
cradle and then press the “M” button on the cradle.
Note: The number of scanners allowed to pair with a cradle varies from one application to another. Consult our
technical support if you need more information.
Pair Cradle with Zigbee Router
A CD15 cradle with its DIP switch (see Fig. 1-3) in the “R” position can function as a Zigbee router. You can extend
communication distance of the cradle by pairing multiple Zigbee routers with it.
Follow the procedure below to pair a cradle with a Zigbee router: a. Pair a scanner with the cradle; b. Insert the scanner
in the Zigbee router and then press the “M” button on the router.
A CD15 cradle with its DIP switch (see Fig. 1-3) in the “C” position works a normal cradle.
Note: The number of Zigbee routers allowed to pair with a cradle varies from one application to another. Consult our
technical support if you need more information.

Chapter 4 Communication Settings
Introduction
Three types of wireless communication between scanner and cradle: synchronous, asynchronous and batch modes.
Two types of wired communication between cradle and the Host: RS-232 and USB.
Wireless Communication Setup
Wireless communication modes include Synchronous (default), Asynchronous and Batch modes.
Synchronous Mode: If Zigbee is available, scanned data will be transferred to the cradle immediately after
successfully decoded; if Zigbee is unavailable, the transmission of decoded data cannot be accomplished.
Asynchronous Mode: If Zigbee is available, scanned data will be transferred to the cradle immediately after
successfully decoded; if Zigbee is unavailable, the decoded data will be first stored in the flash memory in a FIFO
(first in first out) manner, and be sent automatically to the cradle when Zigbee becomes available.
Batch Mode: The decoded data will be stored in the flash memory no matter whether Zigbee is available or not. To
send the stored data to the cradle, you need to insert the scanner in the cradle and then press “P” button on the
cradle.

RS-232 Interface
Baud Rate
When the CD15 cradle is connected to the Host via serial port, you need to set communication parameters (including
baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the cradle’s baud rate to match the Host
requirements. Otherwise, data may not reach the Host or may reach it in distorted form. The default baud rate is
115200.

Improve Reliability of Communication between Cradle and PC
There are three options available for users to choose for data communication between CD15 cradle and PC: USB HIDKBW, USB COM Port Emulation and RS-232 serial port. For USB HID-KBW, the hardware design ensures that
barcode data is reliably sent to PC. Even if the cable is accidentally removed, the scanner will emit a specific beep to
indicate transmission failure.
For USB COM Port Emulation or RS-232 serial port, communication reliability can be supported by HR15PCWidget on
PC. Users can choose to enable/disable the Communication Support feature upon actual need. This feature is disabled
by default. HR15PCWidget is available on our website for download.
Enable Communication Support
Two ways to enable the Communication Support feature:
1. Enable it with HR15PCWidget.
2. Hold down the “P” button on the cradle for 3 seconds. The blue LED on the cradle (see Fig. 1-2) blinks once to
indicate success.
Note: When this feature is enabled, decoded data will be transmitted to users through virtual keyboard.
Disable Communication Support
Two ways to disable the Communication Support feature:
1. Disable it with HR15PCWidget.
2. Hold down the “P” button on the cradle for 3 seconds. The blue LED blinks once to indicate success.

Chapter 5 Data Formatting
Introduction
After a successful barcode reading, a string containing numbers, letters or symbols will be returned.
In real applications, barcode data may be found insufficient for your needs. You may wish to include additional
information such as barcode type, data acquisition time or delimiter in data being scanned.
Adding extra information to printed barcodes does not seem like a sensible solution since that will increase the barcode
size and make them inflexible. Instead, we come up with the idea of appending prefix and suffix to the data without
making any change to barcodes. We will show you how to conduct the configuration in the following sections.
Note: Customized data: <Prefix> <Data><Suffix><Terminating Character>
Prefix Sequence
By default, the Code ID+Custom+AIM ID option is enabled.

Custom Prefix
Enable/Disable Custom Prefix
If custom prefix is enabled, you are allowed to append to the data a user-defined prefix that cannot exceed 11
characters. By default, custom prefix is disabled.
For example, if barcode data is “123” and custom prefix is “AB”, the Host will receive “AB123”.
