HONEYWELL Barcode Scanner Xenon Ultra 1960g USB Kit - Includes Black Scanner 1960g Hd & USB Type A Straight Cable 3m

The Honeywell 1960GHD-2USB-R Handheld bar code reader is a corded 1D/2D scanner that combines high-density scanning capability with LED sensor technology. Designed as part of the Xenon Ultra family, this model offers warm-white illumination and a green-dot LED aimer to improve targeting and capture ultra high-density barcodes down to 2 mils. The scanner supports wired interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS-232 and USB and features a rugged IP52-rated housing with drop protection while remaining lightweight at 147.2 g.

Advantages

The green-dot LED aimer and warm-white illumination enhance scan accuracy and make targeting easier in high-throughput environments. Improved print contrast handling (down to 15%) and high-density decoding allow reliable capture of small or low-quality codes. Integrated IR helps prevent false activations by enabling illumination only when required. The wired connectivity options provide stable, low-latency communication for point-of-sale and industrial applications.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes
• Warehouse inventory and logistics tasks requiring high-density barcode reading
• Healthcare asset tracking and patient ID where small or dense barcodes are used
• Manufacturing and quality-control processes needing reliable wired connectivity

How to use

Connect the Honeywell 1960GHD-2USB-R to the host device using the appropriate wired interface (USB, RS-232 or keyboard wedge). Point the scanner at the barcode so that the green-dot LED aimer centers on the code and pull the trigger. The warm-white illumination improves contrast and the imager decodes both 1D and 2D barcodes; the IR sensor reduces unwanted activations by only enabling illumination when a target is detected. For sustained use, position the device to allow comfortable handling and consistent aimer placement.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure barcodes are clean and undamaged, maintain an appropriate scanning distance for ultra high-density codes, and use a stable, compatible host connection. Keep the scanner’s window free of debris and avoid direct sunlight on the barcode during scanning to reduce read errors.
