Enter Setup
Chapter 3 System Settings
Introduction
There are three ways to configure the HR 52: Barcode programming, command progr amming and Easyset programming.
Barcode Programming
The HR52 can be configured by scanning progr amming barcodes. All user programmable features/ options are described
along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections.
This programming method is mos t straightforward. However, it requires manually scan ning barcodes. As a result, err ors
are more likely to occur.
Command Programming
The HR52 can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host devi ce.
Users can design an application program to send those command strings to the scanners to perform device configuration.
EasySet Programming
Besides the two methods mentioned above, you can conv eniently perform scanner configuration through EasySet too.
EasySet is a Windows-based configuration tool particularly des igned f or Newland pr oducts, enabling user s to gain ac cess
to decoded data and captured images and to configure scanners. For more information about this tool, refer to the EasySet User Guide.
Before programming the scanner, you need to pair it to a cradle f irst. When programming the scanner
with serial commands or EasySet, you n eed to insert it in the paired cradle.

Data: The valu e for a feature or parameter setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Suffix: “;<ETX>” (HEX: 3B 03), 2 characters.
Multiple commands can be is sued withi n on e Pr efi x/S uff i x sequenc e. For conf ig urat ion c om man ds, onl y t he Tag, SubTag,
and Data fields must be repeated for each command i n sequence. If an additio nal command is to be applied to the s ame
Tag, then the command is separated with a com ma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional c ommands
are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is s eparated from previous command by
a semicolon (;).
Query Commands
For query commands, the entry in the Data field in the syntax above is one of the following characters means:
* (HEX: 2A) What is the scanner’s current value for the setting(s).
& (HEX: 26) What is the factory default value for the setting(s) .
^ (HEX: 5E) What is the range of possible values for the setting(s).

The value of the StoreType field in a query command c an be either “@” (HEX: 40) or “#” (HEX: 23).
A query command with the SubTag field omitted means to query all the settings concerning a tag. For example, to query all
the current settings about Code 11, you should enter 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 2A 3B03 (i.e.
~<SOH>0000@C11*;<ETX>).
Responses
Different from command sequence, the prefix of a response consis ts of the six characters of “<STX><SOH>0000” ( HEX:
02 01 30 30 30 30).
The scanner responds to serial comm ands with one of the following three re s ponses:
<ACK> (HEX: 06) Indicates a good command which has been processed.
<NAK> (HEX: 15) Indicates a good configuration command with its Data field entry out of the allowable range for this
Tag and SubTag combination (e.g. an entry for an inter-keystroke delay of 100 when the field will
only allow 2 digits), or an invalid query command.
<ENQ> (HEX: 05) Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
When responding, the scanner echoes bac k the command sequence with the status character above inserted directly
before each of the punctuation marks (the comma or semicolon) in the command.
Examples
Example 1: Enable Code 11, set the minimum and maximum lengths to 12 and 22 respectively.
Enter: 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 45 4E 41 31 2C 4D 49 4E 31 32 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 3B03
(~<SOH>0000@C11ENA1,MIN12,MAX22;<ETX>)

Chapter 5 RS-232 Interface
Introduction
When the cradle is connected to the RS-232 port of a host device, you need t o set communication parameters ( including
baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) on the cradl e to match the host device so that t wo devices can comm unic ate
with each other.
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rat e to match the host requirements.

Stop Bit
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted charac ter marks the end of transmi ssion of one character and prepares the
receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Set the number of stop bits to match the host
requirements.

Hardware Auto Flow Control
If CTS flow control is enabled, the cradle determines whether to transmit data based on CTS signal level. When CTS signal
is at low level which means the serial port’s cache memory of receiving device (such as PC) is full, the cradle stops sending
data through serial port unt il CT S signal i s s et to high lev el by rec eivi ng device. If RTS flow control is enabled, wheth er t he
cradle receives data or not is dependent on RTS signal level. If the cradle is not ready for receiving, it will set RTS signal to
low level. When sending device (such as PC) detects it, it will not se nd data to the cradle any more to prevent data loss.
If No Flow Control is selected, reception/transmission of serial data will not be influenced by RTS/CTS signal.
** No Flow Control

Before enabling this feature, make sure that RTS/CTS signal lines are contained in RS-232 cable.

Chapter 6 USB Interface
Introduction
There are four options for USB connection between the cradle and host device:
USB HID Keyboard: The cradle’s transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command
configuration or a driver. Barc ode data could be enter ed by the virtual k eyboard direct ly and it is also conve nient for
the host device to receive data.
USB CDC: It is compliant with the standard USB CDC clas s specif icat io ns def ined by th e U SB-I F and all o ws the host
device to receive data in the way as a seri al port does. A driver is needed when using this feature.
HID POS (POS HID Barcode Scanner): It is based on the HID interf ace, with no need for a custom driver. It excels
virtual keyboard and traditional RS-232 interface in transmission speed.
IBM SurePOS: It conforms to IBM (now Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions) 4698 USB scanner interface
specifications.
When the cradle is connected to both USB and RS-232 ports on a host device, it will select the USB connection by default.

USB HID Keyboard
When the cradle is connected to the USB port on a host device, you can enable the USB HID Keyboard feature by
scanning the barcode below. The cradle’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The Host receives
keystrokes onthe virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.
** USB HID Keyboard
If the host device allows keyboard i nput, then no extra software is needed for HID Keyboard input.

Emulate ALT+Keypad
When Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on, any character whose ASCII value is greater than or equal to 0x20 is sent over
the numeric keypad no matter which k eyboard type is selected.
1. ALT Make
2. Enter the number corresponding to a desired character on the keypad.
3. ALT Break
After Emulate ALT+Keyp ad ON is selected, you need to choose the code page with which the barcodes were created and
to turn Unicode Encoding On or Off depending on the encoding used by the application software.
** Emulate ALT+Keypad OFF
Emulate ALT+Keypad ON
Since sending a character involves multipl e keystroke emulations, this method appears less efficient.
Supposing Emulate ALT+Keypad is ON, Unicode Encoding is Off, Code Page 1252 (West Europ ean Latin) is selected, and Emulate Keypad with Leading Zero is Off, barcode data ”AÐF” (65/208/70) is
sent as below:
“A” – “ALT Make” + “065” + “ALT Break”
“Д -- “ALT Make” + “208” + “ALT Break”
“F” -- “ALT Make” + “070” + “ALT Break”

Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper
characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the
host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which the barcod es were created b y scanning the
appropriate barcode below. For PDF417, QR Code, Aztec and Dat a Matrix, besi des setti ng the code page, you also need
to set the character encoding in the “Character Encoding” section in Chapter 7. This feature is only effective when Emulate
ALT+Keypad is turned on.
