Honeywell Voyager 1200g laser scanners

The Voyager 1200g builds on Honeywell’s legacy Voyager series as a versatile general‑purpose laser scanner. It delivers fast, aggressive decoding of standard linear barcodes—even if they’re smudged, damaged, or poorly printed

It offers dual modes: handheld and presentation mode when seated in its included or optional stand. The scanner automatically detects when it's in stand, optimizing performance

Scanning Performance

• Minimum resolution: Down to 3.5 mil on 1D codes

• Depth of field: Reads from close up to ~0–14.4 inches (~0–36 cm) depending on barcode size and quality

• Fast, accurate scanning: Single-line infrared laser scan engine that excels with poor-quality labels

• Decodes standard 1D symbologies, including GS1 DataBar variants

Interface & Features

• Multi-interface support: Automatically detects and configures USB (HID/COM), Keyboard Wedge (PS/2), and RS-232 (incl. RS‑232C/RS‑485 via adapter) so no user programming needed

• CodeGate® Technology: Enables aiming-specific barcodes in crowded labels by holding the trigger until the desired target is highlighted

• Presentation-ready: Internal object detection in the presentation stand triggers automatic scan mode when placed

Durability & Environmental Specs

• Ingress Rating: IP42, offering protection from dust and light dripping water

• Drop Resilience: Survives up to 1.5 m (5 ft) drops onto concrete

• Operating Conditions:

  • Temperature: 0–50 °C (32–122 °F); stores at –20–60 °C (–4–140 °F)

  • Humidity: 0–95% non-condensing

  • Ambient light tolerance: Up to ~70,000 lux

  • Power consumption: ~0.35 W standby, 0.7 W active @ 5 V DC

• Warranty: 5 years return-to-manufacturer

Ergonomics & Construction

• Physical size: Around 18 × 6.6 × 9.7 cm (7.1 × 2.6 × 3.8 in)

• Weight: Lightweight and comfortable for prolonged use.

• Build: Shock-mounted internal PCB, rubber-protected recessed trigger button, and scratch-resistant window lens deliver enhanced durability

Use‑Case Scenarios

The device performs best in settings where 1D barcodes predominate and robust reliability is valued over scanning ultra-high densities or 2D codes.
