The Honeywell HF680-HC Scanner (marketed here as Honeywell Pro 2D Scanner) is a compact, hands‑free presentation imager designed for high‑throughput point‑of‑sale, healthcare and clinical workflows where accurate, repeatable barcode capture is essential. Built around a 2D area‑imaging Megapixel sensor and hybrid decoding, the HF680 family reads 1D, 2D and PDF barcodes — including high‑density and inverse codes — from paper labels and LCD/OLED screens. Multi‑interface connectivity (RS‑232 and USB), plug‑and‑play setup and variant options for cable length and power region (UK/US) simplify integration with legacy hosts and modern POS systems, enabling reliable, space‑efficient deployments that improve throughput and traceability.
Key Features
- Hands‑Free Presentation: Desktop/presentation form factor enables touchless scanning for faster customer checkout and repeatable capture in clinical workstations.
- Hybrid 2D Imaging: Megapixel 2D area‑imager decodes 1D, 2D, PDF and high‑density QR codes, improving read rates on damaged or low‑contrast labels.
- Screen‑Readable: Optimized to read barcodes displayed on LCD and OLED screens as well as printed media, supporting modern customer and clinical use cases.
- Flexible Connectivity: RS‑232 and USB host interfaces (corded) with regional power options and multiple cable lengths simplify integration with legacy and current systems.
- Durable, Low‑Maintenance Design: Engineered for long service life with an estimated 40,000 hours useful life and recessed, eye‑friendly illumination for minimal visual distraction.
