Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960g Barcode Scanner
Premium high-performance 1D and 2D barcode scanning for demanding business environments.
The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960g is a professional corded area-imaging barcode scanner designed for businesses where scanning speed, accuracy and reliability matter.
Building on Honeywell's established Xenon scanner platform, the Xenon Ultra 1960g provides advanced barcode capture for retail, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing and other high-throughput applications.
It is particularly well suited to environments where operators regularly encounter damaged, poorly printed, small or difficult-to-read barcodes.
Why Choose the Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960g?
1D & 2D Scanning
Capture common linear and two-dimensional barcode formats with a single high-performance area-imaging scanner.
Damaged Barcode Performance
Designed to maintain reliable data capture when barcodes are damaged, poorly printed or otherwise difficult to read.
High-Density Barcodes
High Density configurations are available for applications involving particularly small and densely printed barcodes.
Green-Dot Aiming
Honeywell's green-dot LED aimer helps operators accurately target the barcode they intend to capture.
Digital Screen Scanning
Suitable for modern workflows involving barcodes presented electronically as well as conventional printed codes.
Five-Year Warranty
Honeywell specifies a five-year factory warranty for the corded Xenon Ultra 1960 scanner.
Premium Scanning for Difficult Barcodes
The Xenon Ultra 1960g is designed for organisations that need more than basic barcode capture.
Optimised illumination and advanced processing help the scanner capture damaged and low-quality barcodes, while warm-white illumination improves print contrast for demanding barcode applications.
Standard Range and High Density configurations allow businesses to select the scanning engine most appropriate to their application.
Standard Range or High Density?
The Xenon Ultra 1960g is available with different scanning configurations. The right choice depends on the types and sizes of barcode your employees need to capture.
Standard Range (SR)
Best for: everyday retail, logistics and general commercial barcode scanning.
Standard Range configurations are designed for conventional barcodes scanned at typical working distances.
If you're scanning product barcodes, shipping labels and general-purpose 1D/2D codes, SR will normally be the configuration to investigate first.
High Density (HD)
Best for: very small, densely printed and high-resolution barcodes.
High Density configurations are designed for applications where the scanner needs to capture particularly small barcode elements.
This can make HD configurations useful in areas such as electronics, manufacturing, component tracking and specialist applications.
Important: check the complete Honeywell manufacturer part number before ordering to confirm the scan engine and interface supplied.
Where Is the Xenon Ultra 1960g Used?
Retail & EPOS
High-performance scanning for busy checkout environments, self-checkout, customer service and in-store inventory workflows.
Healthcare
Professional barcode capture for appropriate healthcare and administrative applications where accurate identification and data capture are important.
Warehousing & Logistics
Capture shipping, inventory, asset and product barcodes at packing stations, goods-in desks and other fixed workstations.
Manufacturing

Xenon Ultra 1960g or Xenon Ultra 1962?
Xenon Ultra 1960g
Choose the 1960g for a fixed workstation.
The Xenon Ultra 1960 is the corded member of the family. It is ideal for checkout counters, packing benches, production stations and other locations where the scanner remains close to its host system.
Xenon Ultra 1962
Choose the 1962 when cordless operation is important.
The Xenon Ultra 1962 adds Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing operators greater freedom of movement around the workstation.
Xenon Ultra 1960g vs Voyager XP 1470g
Both scanners provide corded 1D and 2D barcode capture, but they target different levels of scanning requirement.
Voyager XP 1470g
Ideal for: everyday retail, POS and general business scanning.
The Voyager XP 1470g is a practical choice for organisations that need dependable everyday barcode capture without requiring the higher-end capabilities of the Xenon Ultra platform.
View Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g →Xenon Ultra 1960g
Ideal for: higher-throughput or more demanding barcode applications.
Choose Xenon Ultra when scanning performance on damaged, poor-quality or high-density barcodes is particularly important.
Xenon Ultra 1960g Accessories
Compatible accessories can include stands, cables and other deployment hardware depending on the configuration required.
Honeywell also designed the Xenon Ultra platform so that cables from existing Xenon XP 1950 scanners can be reused with compatible Xenon Ultra 1960 deployments.
Before You Buy a Xenon Ultra 1960g
1. Choose SR or HD
Standard Range suits conventional barcode scanning, while High Density configurations are intended for particularly small and dense barcodes.
2. Check the Interface
Confirm whether your workstation requires USB, RS-232 or another compatible interface.
3. Check the Kit Contents
Different Honeywell MPNs can represent scanner-only products or kits containing additional hardware. Check the complete part number.
4. Corded or Cordless?
If workers need to move away from the workstation regularly, compare the cordless Xenon Ultra 1962 family.
