The Honeywell 1400G Voyager linear/area-imaging scanner is black, can be held in the hand or set on a stand, produces laser light in an omnidirectional pattern, and can be used to scan linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes at different angles and decode them. The barcode scanner is small enough to be held in the hand. A stand enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position. A laser produces lines of light in an omnidirectional pattern to scan 1D barcodes at different angles. A software upgrade (sold separately) can enable the device to scan two-dimensional (2D) and Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes.The barcode reader's USB cable can be plugged into the USB port of a computer or another host system (sold separately) to transmit barcode data. Honeywell Remote MasterMind 3.0 software (available separately for download) can be used by an administrator to manage the device remotely. It weighs 119 g (4.2 oz.) and measures 180 x 66 x 43 mm/7.1 x 2.6 x 1.7 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It can withstand 30 drops of up to 1.5 m (5') on a concrete floor. For a complete set of product specifications, please see the manufacturer's brochure.Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.Honeywell manufactures products, materials, and technologies used in aerospace, transportation, and automation and control systems.
