The Honeywell Solaris XP 7990g is a vertical 2D presentation (slot) scanner for high-volume checkouts in convenience, drug, specialty, liquor and grocery stores. Built on Honeywell's XP platform, its 1280 × 960 pixel area imager reads 1D, 2D, PDF417, postal and OCR codes – including poorly printed and damaged barcodes – with a motion tolerance of more than 4 m/s, and its compact design fits easily into existing checkout enclosures. This version, 7990GEL-2-1, is the scanner only (7990GEL version without EAS deactivation) – the interface cable and power supply are not included.
📦 What's in the box – 7990GEL-2-1
- ✅ Honeywell Solaris XP 7990GEL scanner – black, 2D area imager, without EAS deactivation
- ❌ Interface cable – not included
- ❌ Power supply – not included (required for RS232)
⚠️ Interface cable not included – please order it separately: the Honeywell USB cable (CBL-500-300-S00-04) for PCs and modern POS systems, or the Honeywell RS232 cable (CBL-000-300-S00) for POS terminals with a serial port (RS232 also requires a 5.2 V power supply (PS-05-1000W-C)).
💡 Need EAS deactivation? The 7990GEL version does not support it – choose one of the 7990G kits in the table below instead.
Key Features
- Built for high-volume checkouts – a compact vertical slot design that fits easily into existing checkout enclosures in convenience, drug, specialty, liquor and grocery stores.
- XP performance – Honeywell's extreme performance (XP) platform delivers excellent snappiness, a motion tolerance of 4+ m/s and a wider field of view (42° × 34°) than previous Solaris models, so items can be passed quickly.
- Reads difficult codes – the 1280 × 960 pixel area imager handles poorly printed and damaged barcodes and decodes standard 1D, PDF417, 2D (e.g. QR Code, Data Matrix), postal and OCR symbologies.
- Auxiliary scanner port – connect an additional handheld scanner for bottom-of-basket and bulky items.
- Rip-and-replace upgrade – fully backwards compatible with legacy Solaris models such as the Solaris 7980g, so existing cables and checkout enclosures can be reused.
- Flexible connectivity – USB, keyboard wedge, RS-232 and IBM 46xx (RS-485), selected by the cable used.
- Reliable in any store – IP53 sealing, works in light levels up to 100,000 lux and comes with a 3-year factory warranty.
Ideal Applications
- Replacing an existing Solaris scanner – reuse your current Honeywell interface cable
- Convenience, drug, specialty and liquor stores
- Supermarket and grocery checkouts with high scanning volumes
- Integration into existing checkout counters and enclosures

Not sure which version you need? Choose the 7990G-2USBX-1 for PCs and POS systems with a USB port – the scanner runs on USB power. The 7990G-2USBC-1 adds a power supply with an EU plug for a separate power source. Choose the RS232 kit 7990G-2SERC-1 for POS terminals and cash registers with a serial port; it includes the required power supply. The 7990GEL-2-1 is the scanner only, without EAS deactivation – ideal as a replacement unit if you already have a Honeywell cable.
