Honeywell Voyager 1200g Corded 1D Laser Barcode Scanner USB Cable and Rigid Presentation Stand Kit 1200G-2USB-1

Key Features

• In the box: Scanner, the CBL-500-300-C00 USB Type A coiled cable at 3 m, the STND-19R02-002-4 rigid presentation stand, documentation.
• Single-line 1D laser engine reading standard 1D and GS1 DataBar symbologies. It cannot read QR, Data Matrix or PDF417, and no configuration setting adds them.
• Scans at 100 scan lines per second on a single scan line through a 30 degree horizontal scan angle.
• Reads a 13 mil UPC-A from contact out to 311 mm (12.2 in) and a 20 mil Code 39 out to 367 mm (14.4 in).
• Reads from contact at 10.4 mil and above, so a label can be touched rather than aimed at.
• Tolerates 60 degrees of pitch and 60 degrees of skew, so the operator does not have to square the code up.
• Decodes down to 10% minimum reflectance difference and works from darkness to 70,000 lux.
• Corded scanner. There is no battery and no radio on this part number, so nothing charges and nothing pairs.
• Multi-interface: RS232 at TTL plus 5 V, keyboard wedge and USB are native; RS-232C and IBM RS485 need an adapter cable.
• Rated for 30 drops to concrete from 1.5 m (5 ft), sealed to IP42, and carries a five-year factory warranty.
• Not the TAA-compliant build. Honeywell publishes no TAA statement against this part number, so it cannot be supplied against a Trade Agreements Act requirement.

Kit contents

This is the full 1200g kit: the black scanner, a CBL-500-300-C00 USB Type A cable 3 m long and coiled rather than straight, the STND-19R02-002-4 rigid presentation stand, plus documentation. The stand is the reason to choose this part number. It holds the scanner at a reading angle so an operator can present items to it with both hands free, and because the 1200g is corded and takes its power from the host cable, nothing plugs into the stand and it needs no supply of its own. One caution for a bill of materials: this is the RIGID stand. The 1250g kits ship the flex neck STND-15F03-009 instead, and the two are not interchangeable. The bare scanner without cable or stand is 1200G-2. These two are the same scanner and the whole difference is the carton.

Laser engine

The Voyager 1200g reads with a single-line laser, not with an area imager, and that decides whether this scanner suits the work at all. The laser sweeps one line across the code at 100 scan lines per second through a 30 degree horizontal scan angle, so the operator lays the line across the bars and it reads. What it cannot do is decode a two-dimensional symbol. Honeywell states the decode capability as standard 1D and GS1 DataBar symbologies, and no configuration barcode adds QR, Data Matrix or PDF417 to that list. If any part of the workflow touches a mobile coupon, a 2D shipping label or a driving licence, this is the wrong scanner and an area imager is the right one. Honeywell publishes no itemised symbology list for this model, so none is invented here.

Working range

Honeywell publishes working range per symbology rather than as one headline number, and on the 1200g the table runs from contact out to 367 mm. A 20 mil Code 39 reads from 0 to 367 mm (0 to 14.4 in), which is the figure to plan a carton or rack label around. A 13 mil UPC-A reads from 0 to 311 mm (0 to 12.2 in), so a retail counter sits comfortably inside it. Tight codes come in closer: 5 mil Code 39 wants 27 to 151 mm and 7.5 mil wants 16 to 216 mm. Print contrast is 10% minimum reflectance difference, the more forgiving of the two figures in this range, and light tolerance runs from darkness to 70,000 lux. The sibling 1250g reads further at 13 mil but starts further out, so the two are not interchangeable on close work.

Build and warranty

This is a corded scanner. There is no battery, no radio and nothing to charge, which removes a whole class of failure from a counter that runs all day: no handset walks off, no pairing drops, no shift starts with a flat unit. Honeywell rates the housing for 30 drops to concrete from 1.5 m (5 ft) and seals it to IP42 against dust and dripping water. No tumble specification is published for this model, so none appears here; the figure quoted for the Voyager XP and Xenon ranges belongs to those scanners and not to this one. The unit measures 66 by 180 by 97 mm and weighs 125 g (4.4 oz), light enough for a full shift. The factory warranty is five years, which is worth weighing against cheaper scanners carrying one or two.

Host connections

The 1200g is a multi-interface scanner and the interface is chosen by the cable rather than by the part number. RS232 at TTL plus 5 V, keyboard wedge, and USB in HID keyboard, serial or IBM OEM modes are all supported natively. RS-232C at plus or minus 12 V and IBM RS485 are supported through an adapter cable, which is a separate line on the order rather than a setting to change. That last one matters for a till lane: a current scanner can attach to an IBM point-of-sale host without forcing a legacy purchase, provided the right cable is bought. Moving this scanner from a PC to a till later means buying a cable, not replacing the hardware.

Not the TAA build

This part number does not carry the trailing -N, and that is worth checking before the order goes in. Across the Voyager and Xenon ranges Honeywell uses -N for the build assembled in Mexico that carries the words TAA Compliant in its own description string. No such statement is published against this part number, so it cannot be supplied against a Trade Agreements Act requirement. Honeywell publishes the -N build on other part numbers in this range. For a commercial buyer none of this matters and this is simply the standard part. For a federal agency, a GSA schedule order, a state or local government contract or a subcontract carrying TAA flow-down clauses, ordering this part number instead of the -N build is the single most expensive mistake available on this page, because the hardware arrives correct and still cannot go on the contract.

Where it fits

The 1200g is a general-duty counter scanner. It suits retail checkout, hospitality, back-office receiving, light warehousing, and any bench where the codes are printed 1D labels that will not change. The case for it over a 2D imager is cost and simplicity: where the codes are linear, a laser does the job and does it cheaply. The case against it is any 2D requirement at all, now or in the plan, because it cannot be upgraded to read them. Against the 1250g in the same range, the 1200g is the better close-in reader, working from contact at 10.4 mil and above, where the 1250g needs 57 mm of standoff on a 5 mil code. The case for the 1250g is reach.
