The Newland HR32 Marlin Corded HC is the healthcare version of Newland's HR32 Marlin 2D handheld scanner. Its white housing with an antibacterial coating is made for hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and care homes, where scanners are handled by many people and cleaned many times a day. The 1280 × 800 megapixel CMOS sensor reads all common 1D and 2D barcodes – including QR codes, Data Matrix and PDF417 on patient wristbands, medication packs and specimen labels, as well as codes on phone screens – quickly and reliably, even very small and high-density codes. With a dual USB and RS-232 interface, IP52 sealing, a 1.5 m drop rating and a 5-year warranty, the HR32 Marlin HC is built for long, scan-intensive shifts. This version, NLS-HR3280-SF-HC, is the USB kit with stand: it is supplied with a white, straight 2 m USB cable and a white foldable smart stand (NLS-STD20i-32-HC) for hands-free scanning.
📦 What's in the box – NLS-HR3280-SF-HC
- ✅ Newland HR32 Marlin HC scanner – white healthcare housing with antibacterial coating, corded 2D megapixel imager (reads 1D and 2D codes), USB and RS-232 (depending on the cable)
- ✅ USB cable – white, straight, 2 m, USB-A – connects the scanner to your PC, laptop or POS and powers it (no power supply needed)
- ✅ Foldable smart stand with auto-sense – Newland NLS-STD20i-32-HC, white healthcare version – the scanner switches automatically to hands-free scanning when placed in the stand; folds flat when not in use
💡 Prefer a flexible gooseneck instead? Add the Newland NLS-STD30i gooseneck auto-sense stand. To keep the scanner within reach on a wall or the side of a counter or cart, add the Newland NLS-STD-WM001 wall mount clip.
🔌 Connecting to a serial (RS-232) system? Order the Newland CBL037R RS-232 cable – in RS-232 mode the scanner also needs a 5 V / 1.5 A power supply (Newland ADP100, not included – contact us).
Key Features
- Healthcare-ready housing – the white PC/ABS housing has an antibacterial coating and is designed for frequent cleaning and disinfection at the point of care.
- Megapixel performance – a 1280 × 800 CMOS sensor reads all common 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec and MaxiCode, and handles very small and high-density codes with ease (25% minimum print contrast).
- Reads every barcode at the point of care – patient wristbands, medication packaging, specimen tubes and paper documents, as well as QR codes and other barcodes on phone and tablet screens.
- Fast, intuitive aiming – a green LED aimer, red/white LED illumination and 60 frames per second for point-and-shoot scanning; omnidirectional reading (360°) with a depth of field of up to 510 mm (EAN-13 13 mil).
- Handheld or hands-free – trigger, auto-sense and continuous scan modes; placed in the optional foldable smart stand, the scanner switches to hands-free scanning automatically.
- Dual interface – USB for PCs, laptops and computers on wheels; RS-232 for serial systems (with the CBL037R cable and a 5 V power supply). Configure it with Newland EasySet.
