Quick answer

Two questions decide it

1. Does the scanner stay at the counter?

If it stays at one desk, the corded Ultra 1960 is enough. It connects by USB, RS-232 or keyboard wedge and needs no charging. If staff carry it to the shelf, the trolley or the stockroom, choose the cordless 1472g. It reaches up to 100 m line of sight from its base.

2. How hard are your codes to read?

The Ultra 1960 has a 1280 × 1080 sensor and tolerates hand movement up to 4 m/s. It comes in an HD version for small, dense codes. The 1472g has a 1040 × 720 sensor and a motion tolerance of 70 cm/s. Both read codes with print contrast as low as 15%.

Only on the 1472g: a battery for the whole shift

The 1472g runs on a replaceable 2,400 mAh battery: up to 100,000 scans per charge, or up to 28 hours at one scan per second.

Which model for which job

Start from where you scan

Each job below names which of the Xenon Ultra 1960 and Voyager XP 1472g suits it.

Supermarket and retail billing counter

For a fixed counter, the corded Ultra 1960 needs no charging and tolerates hand movement up to 4 m/s. Choose the 1472g if staff must scan heavy items in the trolley without lifting them.

Pharmacy counter and medicine strips

Both read 1D barcodes and QR codes. The Ultra 1960 HD version is for small strips with tiny codes. The 1472g lets staff take the scanner to the shelf.

Corded or cordless?

Where each scanner fits

Where the Ultra 1960 is stronger

It has the larger sensor (1280 × 1080 against 1040 × 720) and a higher motion tolerance (4 m/s against 70 cm/s for a 13 mil UPC on the 1472g). It is rated for a 3 m MIL-spec drop and 2,000 tumbles, against 1,000 for the 1472g. It weighs 147.2 g against 210 g, comes in an HD version for tiny codes, and never needs charging.

Where the 1472g is stronger

It has no cable. Staff can walk up to 100 m line of sight from the base. The replaceable 2,400 mAh battery gives up to 100,000 scans per charge, and Honeywell lists it for codes on phone screens. Its base connects over the same USB, keyboard wedge or RS-232 as the Ultra 1960.

What they share

Both are 1D/2D area imagers sealed to IP52. Both read codes with print contrast as low as 15%, use a 2700 K warm-white light and work from 0 °C to 50 °C. Both connect by USB, keyboard wedge or RS-232.

For buyers in India

Heat, GST invoices and medicine codes

Charging the 1472g in summer heat

Both scanners work from 0 °C to 50 °C, but the 1472g charges only from 5 °C to 40 °C. In shops without air-conditioning, keep the base in the coolest spot, away from the shutter and direct sun.

GST e-invoice QR codes

Both scanners read QR codes. The Ultra 1960's green aimer dot shows which code you are pointing at on a bill with several. The 1472g lets you check goods against the invoice where they are unloaded. Your billing or ERP software must be able to read the e-invoice QR.

Barcodes and QR codes on medicines

Both scanners read the 1D barcodes and QR codes on medicine packs. The 1472g reads QR down to 6 mil and Data Matrix down to 5 mil. For many small strips with tiny codes, choose the Ultra 1960 HD version.

Questions buyers ask

Ultra 1960 vs 1472g questions

What is the price of the Honeywell Ultra 1960 and 1472g in India?

It depends on the model, the version (SR or HD for the Ultra 1960), the cable or base, extras such as a spare battery or stand, 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.

Should I buy a corded or a cordless scanner?

Buy corded if the scanner stays at one counter: the Ultra 1960 needs no charging and has the larger sensor. Buy cordless if staff move around: the 1472g works up to 100 m line of sight from its base, which helps with heavy items in a trolley or stock on a shelf.

How far can each scanner read?

In Honeywell's tests, the Ultra 1960 standard-range (SR) version reads a 13 mil UPC from 0 to 654 mm and a 20 mil QR code from 0 to 495 mm (HD version: 0 to 502 mm and 0 to 392 mm). The 1472g reads a 13 mil UPC from 18 mm to 400 mm and a 20 mil QR code from 5 mm to 325 mm. Send us your smallest label if range matters.

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

Honeywell designed the 1472g to read codes on smartphone screens, such as digital coupons and wallet codes. Honeywell's Ultra 1960 data sheet, as we read it, does not mention phone screens, so if your counter scans codes on customers' phones, tell us and we will confirm before you order.

How long does the 1472g battery last?

Honeywell rates the replaceable 2,400 mAh battery for up to 100,000 scans per charge, or up to 28 hours at one scan per second. A full charge takes about 4 hours with a 5 V 1 A adapter or about 7 hours over USB. For two shifts, add a spare battery and a charger.

Will they work with our billing or ERP software?

Usually, yes. Over USB or keyboard wedge, both scanners send the code as if someone typed it, so billing, POS and ERP software read it without changes; RS-232 needs software that reads the serial port. We set them up at your site and connect them to your software, including our own warehouse management system.
