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

The Honeywell 1962GHD-2USB-WC-R is a handheld barcode reader engineered for reliable capture of 1D and 2D barcodes in retail, logistics and industrial workflows. Based on Honeywell's Xenon Ultra family, this wired scanner pairs high-density decoding performance with a green-dot LED aimer, warm-white illumination and IR controls to improve targeting and reduce false activations. It supports common linear and matrix symbologies and has an IP52 rating for use in a range of environments while remaining lightweight at 247 g.

Advantages

The scanner delivers industry-leading scan performance for ultra-high density and low-quality codes, with print contrast sensitivity down to 15% and capability to capture very small barcodes. A green-dot LED aimer and warm-white illumination simplify aiming and improve accuracy in high-throughput settings. Integrated IR logic reduces accidental triggers by enabling illumination only when needed. Wired connectivity ensures stable data transfer and compatibility with USB and RS-232 hosts.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning of 1D and 2D coupons and product codes
• Warehouse and logistics for inventory, shipping labels and track-and-trace
• Manufacturing environments requiring capture of high-density or low-contrast barcodes
• Workstations or fixed setups where wired USB or RS-232 connectivity is preferred

How to use

Connect the scanner to your host system using the appropriate wired interface (USB or RS-232) and install any required drivers or configuration utilities. Point the green-dot LED aimer at the barcode, align the target within the illumination area and press the trigger to scan. For high-density or low-contrast barcodes, hold the scanner steady and allow the warm-white illumination to enhance print contrast. Use the IR setting to avoid unwanted activations when placing the scanner in close proximity to other devices.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, keep the scanner window clean and use the green-dot aimer to centre small or dense codes. Configure host settings for the correct symbology recognition and enable IR-controlled illumination in busy or hands-free-like deployments to reduce false scans.
