The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962g is a premium cordless Bluetooth handheld scanner designed for modern retail environments where fast, accurate and flexible barcode capture is essential. It builds on the Xenon scanner legacy with Honeywell’s next-generation scan platform, delivering strong 1D, PDF, 2D, postal, Digimarc, DOT Code and OCR reading capabilities, depending on configuration. The Xenon Ultra 1962g is especially well suited for POS lanes, self-checkout areas, retail counters, back-office workflows and customer-facing service points where freedom of movement improves productivity. By removing the cable from the scanning process, associates can move more naturally around the POS station, conveyors, carts and customers, while keeping the checkout area cleaner and less cluttered. A key strength of the 1962g is its flexible power architecture. The scanner can be configured with a traditional 3300 mAh lithium-ion battery or a battery-free supercapacitor. The lithium-ion version supports up to 80,000 scans per charge and approximately 22 hours of operation, making it suitable for intensive daily retail workflows. The battery-free version can fully charge in less than 60 seconds when using a powered USB port or external power adapter and provides approximately 450 scans per full charge, making it ideal for self-checkout, secondary scanner positions or environments where battery replacement and battery maintenance should be minimized. The availability of contactless charging versions adds further operational value. Contactless charging reduces exposed charging contacts, helping lower failures caused by corrosion or contact wear. This is particularly useful in busy retail environments where scanners are repeatedly docked and undocked throughout the day. Two independently configurable recharge alerts help remind operators to return the scanner to the base before power becomes a workflow issue. Wireless communication is handled through Bluetooth v4.2 with Adaptive Frequency Hopping. The Class 1 configuration provides up to 100 m line-of-sight range, while Class 2 operation can be configured for shorter-range deployments. BLE support adds further flexibility for compatible environments. This makes the scanner suitable not only for traditional POS stations, but also for wider retail spaces where associates need more movement freedom. Scanning performance is positioned at a premium level. The Xenon Ultra 1962g uses a 1280 × 1080 pixel image sensor, supports motion tolerance up to 4 m/sec, and can read barcodes with print contrast as low as 15%. The ±360° roll, ±65° pitch and ±65° skew tolerance enables natural scanning without precise alignment. The green-dot aimer and 525 nm LED aimer improve targeting, while the 2700K white illumination supports a comfortable scanning experience. The scanner is available in Standard Range and High Density configurations, allowing businesses to match the device to their barcode environment. Standard Range is suitable for typical retail barcodes, while High Density is better suited for smaller or more compact codes. Typical reading ranges include up to 654 mm for 13 mil UPC in SR configuration and up to 1,115 mm for 20 mil Code 39, depending on barcode quality and environmental conditions. Durability is strong for a general-purpose cordless retail scanner. The Xenon Ultra 1962g is engineered to withstand 50 drops from 1.8 m to concrete, an 8 ft Mil-Spec drop, and 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m. The scanner has IP52 sealing, while the contactless charging base has IP41 sealing. The disinfectant-ready housing on all 1962g models supports regular wipe-down routines in shared device environments. Integration is straightforward with USB, Keyboard Wedge and RS-232 host interfaces. Honeywell’s Scanner Management Utility helps automate deployment and updates, which is valuable for retailers managing scanner fleets across multiple lanes or locations. The “Find my scanner” button also supports daily operations by helping locate misplaced devices. The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962g is a strong choice for retailers that need a premium cordless 1D/2D Bluetooth barcode scanner with high scanning speed, flexible charging options, strong durability and reduced cable clutter. It is particularly well suited for high-volume checkout, self-checkout, secondary scanner use, retail service desks and environments where cordless flexibility improves both associate productivity and customer experience.
