Honeywell Genesis XP 7680g Hands-Free Presentation 2D Area Imager Scanner Only No Stand No Cable 7680GSR-2-N

Key Features

• In the box: Black scanner only. No stand and no cable: Honeywell's own string reads black scanner without stand, compatible with RS232USBKBW cables, not included.
• Hands-free presentation area imager: it sits on the counter and reads what is presented to it, rather than being aimed.
• Area imager with a 1,280 x 800 pixel array at 1 megapixel. This is not a laser and it reads 2D codes a laser cannot see at all.
• Motion tolerance of 400 cm per second, which is 158 in per second on a 13 mil UPC at optimal focus, so items can be swept past the window.
• Reads 1D, 2D, PDF and DotCode symbologies, with Digimarc supported.
• Reads a 13 mil UPC from contact out to 9.9 in and a 20 mil QR code from contact to 8.3 in.
• Scan angle of 48 degrees horizontal by 30 degrees vertical, with 65 degrees of pitch and skew tolerance.
• Speaks USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge and IBM 46xx over RS-485, so it drops into legacy point of sale as easily as a PC.
• Host powered at 5 V DC typical, drawing 2.5 W, so no power supply is needed for a USB or keyboard wedge install.
• Rated for 50 drops at 1.5 m and 1,000 tumbles at 0.5 m, and sealed to IP52.
• Weighs 340 g and stands 105 mm tall, or 145 mm with the stand fitted.
• Three-year factory warranty.

Kit contents

This part number is the scanner on its own. Honeywell's own ordering string reads black scanner without stand, compatible with RS232USBKBW cables, not included, and both halves of that matter. There is no stand, so the scanner will not stand up on a counter and present itself to the operator without one; and there is no cable, so it cannot reach a host at all until one is added. A second line on the order is not optional. Buy this part number to add a scanner to a bench that already holds cables and stands, or to replace a failed unit in an existing estate. The kit with the stand is 7680GSR-2-1-N, and the kit with both the stand and a USB cable is 7680GSR-2USB-1-N.

Colour and stand codes

The part number is worth decoding, because two of the segments do not mean here what they mean on the rest of Honeywell's range. The -2 is black, which is consistent. The colour code that is not consistent is ivory: on this family ivory is -5, as in 7680GSR-5-1, and there is no -1 colour variant at all, so the brand-wide rule that -1 means ivory must not be carried onto a 7680g part number. What a trailing -1 does mean here is the presentation stand, which is why 7680GSR-2-1-N and 7680GSR-2USB-1-N ship one and 7680GSR-2-N does not. A USB token means a USB cable is in the box, and only these three segments describe what a buyer actually receives.

Region code, not TAA

The trailing -N on this part number is a region code and nothing more. Elsewhere in the Honeywell range, on Voyager and Xenon part numbers, the same letter marks the Trade Agreements Act build assembled in Mexico, and it would be easy to assume the same thing here. It does not hold. Honeywell's own table shows the sibling -R rows spelled out as ROW, meaning rest of world, which establishes the final letter as a market designation, and the family also carries -I, -J, -A and -C variants. No Honeywell document, and no distributor reproduction of one, states a country of origin or a compliance position for any 7680g part number, so this listing makes no such claim. A public-sector buyer with a contract requirement should ask us to confirm it with Honeywell in writing before ordering.

Presentation scanning

This is a presentation scanner, which means it is designed to sit still and have work brought to it rather than be picked up and aimed. The engine is an area imager with a 1,280 x 800 pixel array at 1 megapixel, and it is not a laser: it takes a picture and decodes whatever is in the frame, which is why it tolerates 65 degrees of pitch as well as skew, and reads DataMatrix on a component, a QR code off a phone screen and PDF417 off a driving licence. A single-line laser can read none of those. Motion tolerance is 400 cm per second, or 158 in per second, on a 13 mil UPC at optimal focus, so an operator sweeps the item past the window at speed instead of presenting and pausing.

Working range

Working range on a presentation scanner is short by design, and Honeywell publishes it per symbology rather than as one headline number. A 13 mil retail UPC reads from contact out to 9.9 in, which is the practical reach across a counter. A 20 mil QR code reads from contact to 8.3 in, a 10 mil Data Matrix to 5.1 in, a 6.7 mil PDF417 to 5.4 in, and a 3.0 mil Code 39 to 3.9 in. Every one of those starts at zero, so an item can be laid on the window. Scan angle is 48 degrees horizontal by 30 vertical and light tolerance is 100,000 lux. Honeywell publishes no scan rate for this model, because scans per second is a laser specification and motion tolerance is the imager equivalent.

Host connections

The scanner speaks USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge and IBM 46xx over RS-485, and which one it uses is decided by the cable rather than by a different part number. That RS-485 support is worth noting, because it is what lets a current imager attach to an IBM point-of-sale lane that would otherwise force a legacy purchase, and changing host type later means buying a lead rather than replacing the scanner. Power comes from the host at 5 V DC typical, drawing 2.5 W or 500 mA, so no external supply is needed for a USB or wedge install. There is an auxiliary pin connector on the housing that Honeywell describes only as being for future expandability, and no function is claimed for it here.

Build and sealing

This is a counter-duty housing rather than an industrial one and the figures say so plainly. Honeywell rates it for 50 drops at 1.5 m and 1,000 tumbles at 0.5 m, with IP52 sealing against dust and dripping water. Operating temperature runs from 0 C to 50 C, storage from minus 40 C to 70 C, and humidity to 95% non-condensing. The scanner is 80 by 40 by 105 mm and weighs 340 g, and with the stand fitted the overall height becomes 145 mm or 5.7 in, which is the figure to check against a shelf or a till surround. Honeywell publishes no ESD rating and no minimum resolution figure for this model, so neither appears here. The warranty is three years.

Where it fits

Retail checkout, pharmacy counters, hospitality, ticketing and any reception desk that has to read whatever a customer holds up, including a code on a phone screen. The case for a presentation imager over a handheld is throughput and fatigue: the operator keeps both hands on the goods and never picks up a tool. The case for it over a presentation laser is 2D. Mobile coupons, loyalty codes, vaccination records and driving licences are all 2D or PDF417, and a laser cannot read any of them at any setting. The case against it is range and ruggedness. It reads to about 10 in on a retail UPC and it is sealed to IP52, so it is a counter product and not a warehouse one.
