Handheld barcode reader Honeywell 1962GHD-2USB-5-R 1D/2D Wired Black

The Honeywell 1962GHD-2USB-5-R is a handheld barcode reader from the Xenon Ultra family, designed for reliable scanning of 1D and 2D codes in business and industrial settings. It offers wired connectivity (USB, RS-232), a green-dot LED aimer, warm-white illumination, and IR control to reduce false activations. The scanner supports high-density barcodes down to 2 mils and has an IP52 rating for basic protection against dust and moisture.

Advantages

The device combines industry-leading scan performance and reliability with a green-dot LED aimer for accurate targeting and warm-white lighting that improves contrast recognition down to 15%, enabling capture of ultra high-density and low-quality codes. IR-enabled illumination reduces unintended triggers and helps bridge point-and-shoot and hands-free operation modes. Wired connectivity ensures stable data transfer and broad system compatibility.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes
• Inventory management and stock-taking in warehouses
• Logistics and shipping operations requiring fast, accurate reads
• Environments where dust or light moisture exposure is possible (IP52)
• High-throughput areas needing reliable targeting and high-density barcode capture

How to use

Connect the Honeywell 1962GHD to your system using the appropriate wired interface (USB or RS-232) and install any required drivers or configuration software according to the host system. Aim the green-dot LED at the barcode and press the trigger; the warm-white illumination and IR-assisted control will help capture high-density and low-contrast codes. For hands-free-style operation, position the scanner so items pass through the aim and use the IR feature to limit illumination to active scanning moments.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure the barcode surface is free of heavy dirt or reflective obstructions and maintain the manufacturer's recommended scanning distance for high-density codes. Use the wired connection for stable data transfer and configure host settings to match the scanner’s symbology enablement. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct water jets despite the IP52 rating.
