Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro Fixed-mount barcode reader 1D/2D, RS-232, USB, IP54, 2m/s, OCR

The Newland ScanMaster Pro 430 (FM430 Barracuda) is a compact, fixed‑mount barcode reader engineered for hands‑free data capture in retail, logistics, manufacturing and kiosk environments. Designed around a 1280 x 800 CMOS megapixel imager and a 1 GHz X1500 processor, it reliably decodes both 1D and 2D barcodes — including codes displayed on mobile screens — at up to 60 frames/scans per second. With white LED illumination, optional laser/LED aiming, multiple scan modes and wired USB or RS‑232 connectivity, the ScanMaster Pro 430 delivers consistent throughput, simplified integration and durable IP54 protection for demanding automated or point‑of‑sale workflows.

Key Features

• High‑resolution imaging: 1280 x 800 CMOS megapixel sensor enables accurate reading of small, dense and mobile‑display barcodes.
• Fast capture performance: Up to 60 frames/scans per second with a 1 GHz X1500 processor for responsive throughput in high‑volume applications.
• Flexible targeting and illumination: White LED illumination with laser and/or green LED aiming options and IR sensing for consistent reads across lighting conditions.
• Multiple integration modes: Sense, Pulse, Continuous and Level scan modes plus USB and RS‑232 interfaces simplify integration into kiosks, conveyors and POS systems.
• Rugged, compact design: IP54 protection, 1.5 m drop resistance and PC/ABS housing provide reliable operation in commercial and industrial environments.
• Extended data handling: OCR capability and advanced data formatting options (variant dependent) support broader workflow requirements and host integration.
