Honeywell HF680 Barcode Scanner Hands-Free, 2D, White, RS-232, Short Range

SKU: 

HF680-R0-1RS232-US

RS-232 serial connectivity defines the HF680-R0-1RS232-US, a white desktop 2D area-imaging presentation scanner from Honeywell built for hands-free operation at retail POS, healthcare, and manufacturing environments. Its Hybrid Imaging Technology reads 1D, PDF, and 2D barcodes from both paper and LCD or OLED smartphone screens -- including screens at brightness levels as low as 10% -- without requiring manual mode switching. The scanner handles challenging reads: 3-mil barcodes, inverse barcodes, bent or damaged codes, and paper media with print contrast as low as 20%. An array of 18 recessed LEDs illuminates the scan window, with automatic shutoff when the unit is idle. At 9.81 oz and measuring 5.5 in tall, 3.5 in wide, and 3.3 in long, the desktop chassis is compact enough for tight counter installations. Component design targets a simulated service life exceeding 40,000 hours, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus

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.
