Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g 1D/2D Barcode Scanner

High-Performance 2D Barcode Scanning for Retail and Business

The Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g is a durable corded handheld barcode scanner designed for businesses that need fast and accurate scanning of both 1D and 2D barcodes.

Built primarily for retail and point-of-sale environments, the Voyager XP 1470g combines reliable area-imaging technology with the ability to capture traditional printed barcodes, QR codes and barcodes displayed on digital screens.

It is particularly effective when dealing with damaged, poorly printed or difficult-to-read barcodes, helping businesses reduce failed scans and manual data entry at busy checkouts and workstations.

Scan 1D and 2D Barcodes

The Voyager XP 1470g uses area-imaging technology with a 1040 x 720 pixel sensor to capture a broad range of barcode formats.

It supports standard:

1D barcodes
2D barcodes
QR codes
Data Matrix codes
PDF barcodes
DotCode symbologies

This makes the 1470g suitable for businesses that need one scanner capable of handling both traditional product barcodes and newer 2D barcode applications.

Scan Barcodes from Smartphone Screens

The Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g can capture barcodes displayed on digital screens as well as conventional printed labels.

This makes it particularly useful for modern retail and customer-facing applications involving:

Digital coupons
Mobile loyalty cards
Electronic tickets
QR codes
Digital wallets
Smartphone-based promotions

Businesses can therefore use the same scanner for merchandise at the checkout and digital barcodes presented by customers.

Excellent Performance on Damaged Barcodes

Poor barcode quality can significantly slow down checkout and stock-processing operations.

The Voyager XP 1470g has been designed to provide strong decoding performance on damaged and difficult-to-read barcodes.

This can be particularly valuable in retail environments where product packaging may become scratched, creased or damaged during handling.

Improved first-time barcode capture helps reduce repeated scanning attempts and the need for employees to manually enter product numbers.

Extended Scanning Range

The Voyager XP 1470g offers a useful working range that allows operators to capture barcodes without having to position the scanner immediately next to the item.

For example, a typical 13 mil UPC barcode can be captured from approximately 18 mm to 400 mm away under suitable conditions.

The extended range is particularly useful at retail checkouts, where operators may need to scan larger or heavier products without lifting them onto the counter.

Honeywell specifically designed the scanner to make it easier to reach items at the bottom of a shopping trolley.

Built for Demanding Everyday Use

Despite being designed as a general-purpose scanner, the Voyager XP 1470g offers impressive durability.

It is engineered to withstand:

30 drops from 1.8 metres onto concrete
1,000 tumbles from 0.5 metres
Everyday knocks and impacts
Dust and moisture with IP52 environmental sealing

This rugged construction can help reduce downtime and replacement costs in busy commercial environments.

Lightweight and Comfortable

At approximately 130g, the Voyager XP 1470g is lightweight enough for frequent scanning throughout the working day.

Its handheld design makes it suitable for checkout operators, stockroom employees and other users who regularly need to move between products.

For fixed-counter applications, compatible presentation stands are also available, allowing the scanner to be used hands-free when required.

Flexible Connectivity

The Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g supports several common host interfaces, including:

USB
Keyboard Wedge
RS-232
RS485 for compatible IBM 46xx systems

This makes it suitable for integration with a wide variety of POS systems, computers and existing business environments.

Support for a large number of international keyboard layouts also makes deployment easier for organisations operating across multiple locations.

Ideal Applications

The Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g is particularly well suited to:

Retail point-of-sale
Checkout scanning
Product barcode scanning
QR code scanning
Mobile coupon redemption
Loyalty programmes
Digital wallet applications
Stock management
Inventory checking
Customer service desks
Hospitality
Ticketing
General business barcode scanning

Does the Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g Scan QR Codes?

Yes. The Voyager XP 1470g is a 2D area-imaging barcode scanner capable of capturing QR codes alongside traditional 1D product barcodes.

It can also capture compatible codes from smartphone displays, making it suitable for digital coupons, mobile loyalty applications, electronic tickets and other customer-facing applications.

Voyager XP 1470g vs a Traditional 1D Scanner

Traditional laser barcode scanners are generally designed to capture linear 1D barcodes.

The Voyager XP 1470g provides greater flexibility by supporting both 1D and 2D barcode formats.

This makes it a more future-ready choice for businesses introducing QR codes, mobile coupons or other 2D barcode applications while continuing to scan standard product barcodes.

1470g or 1472g – Which Do I Need?

The Honeywell Voyager XP range includes both corded and cordless options.

Choose the Voyager XP 1470g if you need a reliable corded scanner for a fixed checkout, POS terminal or workstation.

Consider the Voyager XP 1472g if your employees need greater freedom to move away from the workstation while scanning.

For fixed point-of-sale applications, the corded 1470g avoids the need to manage batteries or charging while providing the same type of high-performance barcode capture.

Why Choose the Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g?

The Voyager XP 1470g offers an excellent combination of barcode performance, durability and affordability for everyday commercial applications.

Its ability to capture 1D and 2D codes means businesses don't need separate scanners for conventional product barcodes and newer QR-based applications.

Strong performance on damaged barcodes is particularly valuable in busy retail environments, while its extended scanning range can make it easier to process bulky products at the checkout.

Combined with its 1.8-metre drop specification, IP52 sealing and lightweight construction, the 1470g is built for businesses that need a scanner capable of handling continuous everyday use.
