Handheld barcode reader Honeywell 1960GSR-2USB-R 1D/2D LED Black

The Honeywell 1960GSR-2USB-R handheld barcode reader is a corded 1D/2D scanner that builds on the Xenon Ultra family’s proven scanning performance. It combines green-dot LED aiming, warm-white illumination and improved IR control to deliver accurate captures of high-density and low-quality barcodes. The device uses LED sensor technology, connects via wired interfaces (USB, RS-232) and has an IP52 rating with a lightweight, compact design for retail and inventory environments.

Advantages

The green-dot LED aimer and warm-white illumination improve targeting and contrast for reliable reads, including ultra high-density codes down to 2 mils. Integrated IR capabilities reduce false activations by enabling illumination only when needed, narrowing the operational gap between point-and-shoot and hands-free scanning. Wired connectivity (USB/RS-232) ensures stable data transfer and broad compatibility with existing POS and inventory systems.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning
• Inventory management and stock taking
• Warehouse receiving and shipping verification
• High-throughput checkout and scanning stations

How to use

Connect the scanner to a host system using the appropriate wired interface (USB or RS-232). Aim the green-dot LED at the barcode and press the trigger; the warm-white illumination and aimer assist in aligning the beam for high-density or low-contrast codes. For hands-free setups, mount the scanner in a compatible stand and allow the IR-enabled illumination to activate when an item is presented.

Recommendations

Use the green-dot aimer for precise targeting on small or densely packed barcodes, and keep the scanner lens clean to maintain optimal read performance. When deploying in high-throughput areas, prefer wired connections for consistent data transfer and enable IR control to avoid unwanted activations.
