Fixný čítač čiarových kódov Honeywell HF680

Honeywell HF680 is a fixed 2D area-imaging scanner designed to read a wide range of 1D, PDF and 2D symbologies. With hybrid imaging technology and an LED sensor design, the HF680 supports barcodes on paper and on mainstream LCD and OLED screens while offering compact dimensions and low power consumption for continuous use in retail, healthcare and manufacturing environments.

Advantages

The scanner features a user-friendly distributed illumination system with 18 recessed LEDs that reduce eye strain and automatically manage lighting based on use. An infrared (IR) decoding design improves sensing accuracy and reduces repeated scans. The HF680 can decode very small (3-mil) and densely packed codes as well as damaged, bent, or wet barcodes, inverse codes and long symbologies. Key components are validated for long life, with typical service life exceeding 40,000 hours. The device supports multiple wired interfaces for plug-and-play deployment.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale scanning
• Healthcare and medical facility barcode reading
• Manufacturing line and inventory scanning
• Environments requiring hands-free/fixed-position scanning

Key specifications

• Scanner type: 2D area-imaging
• Sensor type: LED (Hybrid Imaging Technology)
• Connectivity: Wired (USB and other wired interfaces)
• Power consumption: typical 2 W (DC powered)
• Weight: 0.278 kg
• Colour: Black
• Dimensions (approx.): 88 mm (W) x 85 mm (D)
• Decoding capability: 1D, PDF, 2D symbologies; reads 3-mil codes, high-density and inverse codes, damaged or wet barcodes

How to use

Install the HF680 in a fixed position facing the expected barcode presentation area and connect it to a host using the provided wired interface (USB or other supported wired connections). Position items or devices so barcodes face the scan window; the distributed LED illumination will engage automatically based on usage. For intermittent scanning the lighting remains on; it turns off when the scanner is idle. No frequent switching between scanning modes is required thanks to hybrid imaging, but ensure host drivers or configuration software are installed if required by your system.

Recommendations

Place the scanner at a stable mounting location with a clear view of the barcode presentation zone. Maintain a clean scan window and ensure printed barcodes have at least 20% contrast; for screen-based barcodes verify reasonable display brightness (10%–100%) to ensure reliable decoding.
