Handheld bar code reader Honeywell Xenon Extreme Performance XP 1950g 1D/2D LED Black

The Honeywell Xenon Extreme Performance XP 1950g is a handheld barcode reader engineered for reliable, high-accuracy scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes in retail and related environments. The scanner uses LED sensor technology and is available in wired configurations (including USB, RS-232 and RS-485). It combines fast decoding of poor-quality or damaged codes with a durable design intended to reduce downtime and lower total cost of ownership.

Advantages

The Xenon XP 1950g delivers fast, accurate scanning performance on both printed and digital barcodes, minimizing delays at checkout. It is built for durability with resistance to repeated tumbles and multiple drop events, plus an IP41 rating for protection against dust and water ingress. The scanner supports both tethered wired connections and cordless operation via compatible bases, and can be managed and updated centrally using Honeywell’s Scanner Management Utility (SMU).

How to use

Connect the XP 1950g to your point-of-sale system using the appropriate wired interface (USB, RS-232 or RS-485) or pair it with a compatible base for cordless operation. Aim the scanner at the barcode or smartphone display and press the trigger to initiate a scan; the device decodes both 1D and 2D barcodes and returns the data to the host system. Use the Honeywell Scanner Management Utility to configure settings, deploy firmware updates and monitor scanner status across your deployment.

Recommendations

For consistent read performance, keep the scanner window clean and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Select the wired interface that matches your POS hardware for lowest latency, or use a compatible base to enable up to 100 m (300 ft) cordless range where mobility is required. Store the device in a dry location when not in use to help preserve the IP41-rated sealing.
