The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960g is a premium corded 2D handheld barcode scanner and the successor to the popular Xenon and Xenon XP 1950g series. It reads damaged and poorly printed barcodes at the first attempt, captures codes from paper labels and phone screens, and is backed by a 5-year Honeywell warranty. This version, 1960LI-2USB-R, is the Light Industrial (1960LI) model for paper barcodes and light direct part marks (DPM) and is supplied with a 3 m USB cable, ready to plug in and scan.

Key Features
- Light Industrial (LI) model – captures paper barcodes and light direct part marks (DPM) down to 2 mil, built for electronics and light manufacturing.
- Superior scanning performance – reads damaged, poorly printed and low-contrast barcodes (down to 15% print contrast), on labels and on phone screens.
- Green-dot aimer – precise targeting that speeds up scanning and improves accuracy.
- Reads more than barcodes – 1D, PDF417, 2D, Postal, DotCode, Digimarc and OCR (depending on configuration).
- Handheld or hands-free – use it in the hand or place it in an optional stand for presentation scanning with automatic object detection.
- Built to last – withstands repeated 1.8 m drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles, IP52 sealed, with a 5-year (60-month) Honeywell warranty.
- Easy deployment – USB, RS-232 or keyboard wedge depending on the cable; reuses cables from existing Xenon XP 1950g installations; manage and update scanners with Honeywell Scanner Management Utility (SMU).
Ideal Applications
- Electronics and light manufacturing – DPM-marked components and work-in-process tracking
- Warehousing, logistics and shipping/receiving
- Government and administration – ID documents, forms and OCR
- General-purpose scanning at desks and workstations
