Honeywell Genesis XP 7680g Barcode Scanner
The Honeywell Genesis XP 7680g is a compact hands-free 1D and 2D presentation scanner designed for fast scanning at retail counters, healthcare workstations and other customer-facing or high-throughput environments.
Its presentation-style design means users can simply move a product, ticket, loyalty card or barcode into the scanning area rather than repeatedly picking up and triggering a handheld scanner.
Best suited to: businesses that need fast, hands-free scanning from a compact scanner with strong performance on everyday, poorly printed and damaged barcodes.
At a glance
Honeywell Genesis XP 7680g Key Features
1D & 2D
Area-imaging technology for common linear and two-dimensional barcode formats.
Hands-Free
Presentation scanning for fast, repetitive workflows without continually handling the scanner.
Compact Design
A small footprint makes the 7680g well suited to counters and workstations where space matters.
IP52
Protection designed for professional commercial and healthcare environments.
What Makes the Genesis XP 7680g Different?
The Genesis family has long been designed around presentation scanning. The XP 7680g builds on that concept with Honeywell's Extreme Performance scanning platform.
Larger Scanning Area
Designed to make it easier to present a barcode naturally without having to position it precisely in front of the scanner.
Fast Moving Codes
Motion tolerance of up to 400 cm/s for 13 mil UPC at optimal focus supports fast-moving retail and counter workflows.
Difficult Barcodes
XP scanning technology is designed to improve performance when barcodes are poorly printed or damaged.
Where Is the Honeywell 7680g Best Used?
Retail & POS
Fast product scanning at checkout counters, service desks and point-of-sale workstations.
Healthcare
Suitable for healthcare workflows where compact equipment and disinfectant-ready housing are useful.
Customer Service
Scan tickets, loyalty cards, documents and other barcodes at customer-facing workstations.
Hands-Free Presentation Scanning
A presentation scanner works differently from a conventional trigger-operated handheld scanner. Instead of aiming and pressing a trigger for every scan, the Genesis XP 7680g remains ready at the workstation while the barcode is presented to it.
Choose the Genesis XP 7680g when...
- Scanning takes place mainly at a fixed counter
- Users process products or barcodes repeatedly
- You want hands-free operation
- Counter space is limited
- You need to scan both 1D and 2D barcodes
- Barcodes may be displayed on different types of media
Consider a handheld scanner when...
- The scanner needs to be carried to the item
- Users regularly scan large or awkward products
- Scanning takes place around a warehouse
- You need extended or long-range scanning
- Mobility is more important than fixed-position presentation scanning
1D and 2D Barcode Scanning
The Genesis XP 7680g uses a 1280 × 800 pixel area imager and supports 1D and 2D barcode decoding.
1D Barcodes
Suitable for traditional linear barcode workflows such as retail products and inventory identification.
2D Barcodes
Supports modern two-dimensional barcode workflows, giving businesses more flexibility than a 1D-only scanner.
If you're replacing an older laser or 1D-only scanner, moving to a 2D area imager can give you greater flexibility for newer barcode formats and changing applications.
Designed for Fast Counter Scanning
Honeywell states that the Genesis XP platform provides a 20% faster scanning speed and a larger scanning area compared with previous models.
That matters in repetitive environments because scanning performance isn't simply about maximum technical speed. The aim is to reduce the amount of time users spend repositioning products or attempting the same barcode more than once.
360° LED Feedback and Intelligent Illumination
360° Colour LED Ring
A surrounding LED indicator provides visible feedback to help users understand scanner status and successful interactions.
Warm White Illumination
Honeywell uses warm white illumination designed to provide a more comfortable experience in customer-facing environments.
Automatic object detection can turn the illumination off between scans, helping reduce unnecessary light when the scanner isn't actively being used.
Disinfectant-Ready Housing
The Genesis XP 7680g is available with disinfectant-ready housing, making it particularly relevant to healthcare and other environments where equipment is cleaned frequently.
Cleaning matters: disinfectant-ready does not mean every cleaning chemical or process is automatically suitable. Follow Honeywell's current cleaning guidance for the exact scanner configuration.

What Should You Check?
Confirm the exact MPN, interface, colour, stand and included cable before ordering.
Before You Buy: Check the Exact MPN
Different Genesis XP 7680g configurations can be supplied with different interfaces, stands, cables and other kit components.
Compare complete manufacturer part numbers rather than the model name alone. If you've been quoted a specific 7680g MPN, use that part number when comparing prices.
