Why the Xenon XP 1950g

Faded and damaged codes, hand-held or hands-free

The Xenon XP 1950g is the corded scanner in Honeywell's Xenon Extreme Performance (XP) series, made for retail checkouts where a slow or missed read holds up the queue.

Reads faded and damaged codes

A 1280 × 800 imager reads codes with a print contrast as low as 15% and tolerates hand movement of up to 4 m/s on a 13 mil UPC at optimal focus. Fewer rescans and fewer codes typed in by hand keep the queue moving.

Less bending at the till

Honeywell designed the 1950g to read at a distance so the cashier bends less to reach codes on the bottom shelf of a trolley. On the standard-range model, a 20 mil Code 39 label reads from 4 mm to 822 mm in Honeywell's tests.

Three focus versions

SR (standard range) suits everyday retail labels. HD (high density) reads smaller, denser codes. UD (ultra high density) is for the smallest codes, down to a 2 mil Code 39 (read at 20-60 mm) or a 4 mil QR code (25-55 mm).

Made for daily knocks

Sealed to IP52 against dust and water, engineered for 50 drops from 1.8 m to concrete and 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m. That means fewer scanners away for repair and fewer counters waiting for a spare.

Fits new and older POS systems

Connects over USB, keyboard wedge or RS-232, and over RS-485 for TGCS (IBM) 46XX terminals. The quick start guide sets RS-485 to port 5B by default, with programming codes for terminals on port 9B.

Hand-held or hands-free

Presentation and streaming presentation modes let the 1950g scan items passed in front of it on a stand. Honeywell offers a ratchet stand, 3-inch and 6-inch rigid stands and a 9-inch flexible stand, in black or Lyric White scanners, with optional vibration feedback.

Used in

  • Supermarket and retail billing
  • Kirana and modern-trade stores
  • Distribution centres
  • Electronics and small-parts counters
  • Stores that use TGCS (IBM) POS terminals

For buyers in India

Using the Xenon XP 1950g in India

These are the points buyers in India ask us about the Xenon XP 1950g. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

Reads e-invoice QR codes if your software decodes them

The 1950g SR can scan the QR code on a supplier's e-invoice, but your billing or ERP software must be able to decode the signed QR. The 1950g SR reads a 20 mil QR code from 0 mm to 438 mm and a 10 mil QR code from 35 mm to 250 mm.

Choose HD or UD by your smallest code

Pick the 1950g HD or UD model by the smallest code on your labels and packs; codes on small packs can be very small. The HD model reads a 10 mil Data Matrix from 12 mm to 211 mm; the UD model reads a 5 mil Data Matrix from 15 mm to 70 mm. Send us a photo of your smallest pack to choose.

Rated to 50 °C and 95% humidity; shade the counter

Keep the 1950g's counter out of direct afternoon sun. The scanner works from 0 °C to 50 °C and at 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.

More detail

More about the Honeywell Xenon XP 1950g

Features (in Honeywell's terms): superior scan performance, damaged barcodes capture, 50 drops at 1.8 m, IP52 ingress rating, class-leading durability, USB

Engineered to withstand 2,000 0.5 m (1.6 ft) tumbles and 50 1.8 m (6 ft) drops, the scanner, Honeywell says, brings "class-leading durability and reliability to any environment".

The Honeywell Scanner Management Utility (SMU) creates a holistic solution that automates how you deploy and update the scanners in your environment.

Honeywell Operational Intelligence software delivers on-demand scan insights, enabling higher employee productivity and throughput.

The scanner is optimized for scanning both digital codes off customer smartphones and merchandise codes by the cashier at the register.

Durability (Honeywell calls it class-leading): The IP52 rated housing is engineered for 50 drops from 1.8 m (6 ft) to concrete and 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m, reducing service costs and increasing device uptime.

Honeywell describes "superior scanning performance, even on damaged and poor-quality barcodes", which it says eliminates wasted seconds from every transaction.

Exploring for a different use?

If your job differs from what the Xenon XP 1950g is built for, these Honeywell models may fit it better:

  • Buyers who are equipping new counters and do not need RS-485 often look at the Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960 (corded, 1280 × 1080 sensor, uses the 1950g's cable).
  • Buyers who want a lighter, slimmer corded scanner, often look at the Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g (corded, 130 g, USB, keyboard wedge, RS-232).
  • Buyers who need to scan away from the counter often look at the Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962 (cordless, Bluetooth 4.2, up to 100 m line of sight).

Questions buyers ask

Xenon XP 1950g FAQ

What is the price of the Honeywell Xenon XP 1950g in India?

The Xenon XP 1950g price depends on the cable or accessories you need and the quantity. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

Xenon XP 1950g or Xenon Ultra 1960?

Both are corded area imagers with IP52 sealing and 2,000-tumble ratings. The Xenon Ultra 1960 has a larger 1280 × 1080 sensor (the 1950g has 1280 × 800) and a green LED aimer, and Honeywell says it uses the same cable as the 1950g. The 1950g adds RS-485 for TGCS (IBM) 46XX terminals and a UD version for very small codes. Tell us your terminal and smallest label, and we will suggest one.

Do we need the SR, HD or UD version?

SR (standard range) suits retail billing and shelf labels and has the longest reach, up to 490 mm on a 13 mil UPC. HD (high density) reads small, dense codes such as electronics labels. UD (ultra high density) is for the tiniest codes, down to a 2 mil Code 39, at short range. If unsure, send a photo of your smallest label.

Will it work with our IBM 46XX POS terminal?

Honeywell lists RS-485 support for TGCS (IBM) 46XX terminals. The scanner uses port 5B by default, and the quick start guide has codes for port 9B. Ask for the matching IBM 46XX cable in the same quote. Other terminals connect over USB, RS-232 or keyboard wedge.

Can it read QR codes on a customer's phone?

Yes. Honeywell built the 1950g to scan both codes shown on customers' smartphones and the merchandise codes cashiers scan at the register. It reads QR, Data Matrix and PDF417 as well as the common 1D retail codes.

Will it type into our billing or ERP software?

In USB keyboard mode the 1950g types the scanned data into the field where the cursor is, like a keyboard. USB serial mode emulates a COM port and needs a Honeywell driver on Windows. Allmark configures scanners for billing, POS and ERP software, including suffixes such as Enter or Tab after each scan.

Can the cashier scan hands-free?

Yes. Put the 1950g in a Honeywell stand and switch it to presentation mode, which starts a read when the scanner sees a barcode, or streaming presentation mode, which keeps the light on and searches all the time. Honeywell offers a ratchet stand and 3-inch, 6-inch and 9-inch presentation stands.

Can Allmark install the Xenon XP 1950g and connect it to our software?

Yes. We install the Xenon XP 1950g at your site, set it to send data the way your ERP, warehouse or billing software expects (our own warehouse management system included) and train your team. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
