Device description and benefits
The Honeywell Voyager 1250g is a high-performance single-line laser scanner developed especially for retail environments. It reliably reads barcodes even when they are damaged or poorly printed. The extended depth of field (0 mm to 446 mm) allows fast operation without precise aiming.
Thanks to its robust construction (IP41 protection class), the scanner can withstand up to 30 drops from a height of 1.5 meters – ideal for daily use in the studio or shop.
Supported connections and use cases
The scanner supports various interfaces, giving you flexibility:
- USB (virtual COM port)
- RS-232 (classic COM port)
- Virtual COM port via LAN adapter (TCP Websockets)
Depending on your setup, you can configure the appropriate connection to optimally integrate the scanner into your System.
