Why the FR4080
The FR4080 is a Newland desktop scanner. It stands on the counter, senses a code held in front of its window with an infrared sensor and reads it without a trigger press.
The current FR4080 (hardware version 2.0) reads printed labels and codes on phone screens in the same mode, so staff never switch modes. The top mode button of earlier units has been removed.
An infrared sensor detects an item presented to the window and starts a read. Staff hold the product or phone in front of the window; there is no trigger to press.
Newland rates it for codes down to 3 mil, an EAN-13 (13 mil) from 10 to 280 mm and a 15 mil QR code from 10 to 190 mm, with a 51° × 32° field of view.
An RJ45 data port on the scanner takes either a USB cable or an RS-232 cable. Over USB it is powered by the PC or POS terminal and draws 275 mA (typical) at 5 V.
IP52 sealing against dust and dripping water, multiple 1.2 m drops to concrete (one per side, six sides), and an operating range of -20 °C to 60 °C.
Newland's EasySet tool sets prefixes, suffixes and data formats. Newland also lists JPOS and OPOS drivers and USB virtual-COM drivers for POS software.

For buyers in India
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the FR4080. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
Hold a GST e-invoice roughly 13-15 cm from the FR4080's window and the whole IRN QR code is in its 32° vertical view. That is inside the 10-190 mm range Newland gives for a 15 mil QR code.
Cashiers can pass packets across the FR4080's window at different distances without lining them up. Newland rates it to read a standard-size EAN-13, with 13 mil (0.33 mm) bars, from 10 mm to 280 mm in front of the window. GS1 India issues the EAN-13 numbers that start with 890.
Customers can hold e-coupons, loyalty codes and order codes on their phones to the FR4080's window; Newland's version 2.0 reads screen codes without a mode change. The FR4080 can also read the text in a UPI QR, for example to check a printed QR. Payment happens in the customer's UPI app, not in the scanner.
If you connect the FR4080 by RS-232, ask for a power adapter in the same quotation. Over USB it takes 275 mA (typical) at 5 V, about 55% of the 500 mA a USB 2.0 port supplies, so no adapter is needed. The RS-232 cable has a power jack and needs a power adapter.
Newland rates the FR4080 to work from -20 °C to 60 °C and in 5-95% humidity, non-condensing. In humid coastal towns the risk is condensation: avoid moving it straight out of an air-conditioned store into a hot shopfront.

Questions buyers ask
The FR4080 price depends on the cable or accessories you need and the quantity. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.
Yes. Newland's discontinued-products list shows the FR4060 ended on 16 July 2020 with the FR4080 as its replacement, and the HR1070 ended on 20 July 2021, also replaced by the FR4080. Tell us which cable and interface your FR4060 uses (USB or RS-232) when you ask for a quote, so the new scanner matches your billing system.
Yes. Newland states it reads paper barcodes and screen barcodes without switching.
Use USB for most PCs and POS terminals: the scanner is powered from the USB port and can work as a keyboard, a virtual COM port or HID-POS device. Use RS-232 for older billing machines with a serial port: that cable has a power jack and needs a separate 5 V power adapter. Name your billing system when you ask for a quote.
Usually, yes. In USB keyboard mode, scanned codes appear wherever the cursor is, as in most billing and ERP screens. It can also work as a virtual COM port or HID-POS device, and Newland lists JPOS and OPOS drivers. Older billing machines with only a serial port can use the RS-232 cable instead.
Both are Newland desktop scanners of a similar size. The FR4080 is corded, has a 1280 × 800 sensor, reads a 13 mil EAN-13 out to 280 mm and offers RS-232 as well as USB. The FR42-BT is cordless over Bluetooth 5.0 with a 2,000 mAh battery and a wider 62° × 54° view, but reads EAN-13 only out to 130 mm.
Yes. We install the FR4080 at your site, set it to send data the way your ERP, warehouse or billing software expects (our own warehouse management system included) and train your team. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
Send what you scan, where you scan it and the software it feeds; we reply with a written quotation.
