Honeywell Xenon 1900 Details

The Honeywell Xenon 1900 series scanners offer flexible host integration, supporting a wide array of connectivity options. Users can seamlessly connect the device via multiple interfaces including USB (PC Keyboard, Mac Keyboard, HID, Serial emulation), Keyboard Wedge, RS232 Serial Port, or RS485. This extensive compatibility ensures the scanner can be integrated into virtually any existing system. Initial setup is simplified through "Plug and Play" bar codes, which instantly configure the scanner for common terminal types like IBM PC AT, IBM SurePos, Verifone Ruby, and Gilbarco terminals, significantly reducing deployment time.

Beyond basic manual triggering, the Xenon 1900 boasts sophisticated operational modes to enhance efficiency. Presentation Mode allows the scanner to automatically detect and read barcodes using ambient light, while Streaming Presentation™ Mode keeps the illumination on for continuous, high-speed scanning. For optimizing readability from digital displays, Mobile Phone Read Mode is available. Additionally, the scanner's capability for Image Snap and Ship extends its utility beyond barcodes to capturing and transferring images.

The device provides extensive options for customizable user feedback. The beeper's volume, pitch, and duration can be finely adjusted for both successful reads and error indications, complementing the visual feedback from the LED indicators. Features such as "Trigger Click" offer audible confirmation when the trigger is pressed, while "Good Read Delay" helps prevent accidental re-reads of the same barcode, collectively improving operational accuracy and user experience.

For advanced data management, the Xenon 1900 features powerful data editing and formatting capabilities. Users can define and apply custom prefixes and suffixes to scanned data, either universally or for specific symbologies. The scanner also supports the transmission of function codes and allows for adjustable intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays to match diverse host system requirements, ensuring data integrity during transmission.

The advanced Data Format Editor provides intricate control over output data. It enables users to manipulate scanned data by inserting characters, suppressing specific data segments, and applying conditional formatting rules. This powerful tool ensures that the barcode data is delivered to the host system in the exact format required, enhancing compatibility and automating data entry processes.

The scanner offers robust support for a broad spectrum of 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, including Codabar, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, GS1-128, PDF417, QR Code, Data Matrix, and Aztec Code. Each symbology comes with granular control options such as check characters, message length restrictions, and concatenation capabilities, allowing for fine-tuned decoding performance to meet specific industry standards and application demands.

For applications requiring more than just barcode decoding, the Xenon 1900 facilitates intelligent image capture. The Image Snap - IMGSNP command captures an image, and Image Ship - IMGSHP transfers it. Various modifiers are available to control imaging style (Photo, Manual), adjust exposure and gain, apply gamma correction, and utilize filters like edge sharpen and noise reduction, providing comprehensive control over the final image output quality and characteristics.

A specialized feature for document processing is Intelligent Signature Capture (IMGBOX). This allows users to define a precise signature capture area relative to a barcode on a form. Modifiers for output image width, height, resolution, and horizontal/vertical offsets enable tailoring the capture to specific forms, making the Xenon 1900 an efficient tool for digitizing signed documents or other specific regions of interest.

For the cordless Xenon 1902 model, wireless features significantly enhance mobility. Leveraging Bluetooth radio technology, it communicates with a charge base or access point within a typical range of 33 feet (10m). Features like flexible power management, out-of-range alarms, and Batch Mode—for storing barcodes when out of range—ensure uninterrupted data collection and reliability in mobile environments.

For complex deployments, the system supports multiple scanner operation, allowing up to 7 scanners to link to a single base or access point. Application Work Groups enable independent programming of settings for different sets of scanners. Furthermore, Honeywell's EZConfig utility offers a powerful PC-based solution for firmware upgrades, parameter changes, and generating customized programming barcodes, greatly simplifying large-scale scanner management and customization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Honeywell Xenon 1900 Barcode Scanner, and we answer them below.


How do I connect the Honeywell Xenon 1900 scanner to my computer?
The Xenon 1900 supports multiple interfaces: USB (PC Keyboard, Mac Keyboard, HID, Serial), Keyboard Wedge, RS232 Serial Port, and RS485. You connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner first, then to your computer's port. The scanner defaults to USB PC Keyboard or IBM PC AT keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard, adding a carriage return (CR) suffix to scanned data.

What are the indicators for a successful barcode read?
Upon a successful read, the scanner provides immediate feedback. You will hear a single beep (which can be customized in volume, pitch, and duration) and the green LED on the scanner will flash. These indicators confirm that the barcode data has been captured and, for cordless models, acknowledged by the base or access point.

Can I customize the data output format from the scanner (e.g., add prefixes or suffixes)?
Yes, the scanner offers extensive data editing capabilities. You can add custom prefixes and/or suffixes to scanned data, either for all symbologies or specific ones. The Data Format Editor also allows for more complex manipulation, such as inserting characters, suppressing data, and defining output sequences based on specific criteria.

What is 'Presentation Mode' and how does it differ from manual triggering?
In Presentation Mode, the scanner uses ambient light to automatically detect barcodes without requiring a trigger pull. The LEDs illuminate only when a barcode is presented. This differs from manual triggering where you physically press a button to activate scanning, making Presentation Mode ideal for hands-free operations.

Does the Xenon 1900/1902 support image capture?
Yes, the Xenon series scanners can capture images. The `Image Snap - IMGSNP` command captures a picture, while `Image Ship - IMGSHP` transfers it to the host. You can apply various modifiers to adjust image quality, file format (e.g., JPEG, BMP), resolution, and even perform intelligent signature capture using the `IMGBOX` command.

What should I do if the scanner is not reading my barcodes correctly or at all?
First, ensure the barcode is not smeared, scratched, or covered. Verify that the symbology of your barcode is enabled in the scanner's settings (you can enable "All Symbologies" as a test). If the data is incorrect, check that the scanner is programmed for the correct terminal interface (e.g., using "Plug and Play" codes). Resetting to factory defaults (page 1-10) can also resolve many issues.

How do I clean the scanner's window and housing?
Clean the scanner's window and housing with a soft cloth or lens tissue lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent-water solution. If using detergent, rinse with a water-dampened tissue. Do not submerge the scanner in water and avoid abrasive wipes or solvents (like alcohol or acetone) as they can damage the device.

What is Batch Mode, and when is it useful for the Xenon 1902?
Batch Mode, available on the cordless Xenon 1902, allows the scanner to store barcode data when it's out of range of its base or access point, or for inventory purposes. Data is transmitted to the host once the scanner is back in range or manually triggered. There are "Automatic Batch Mode" and "Inventory Batch Mode" options, offering flexibility in data collection.

Can I use the Xenon 1902 with other Bluetooth devices besides its charge base?
Yes, the Xenon 1902 can be connected to other Bluetooth devices such as PCs, laptops, PDAs, or Honeywell Mobility Systems devices. You would typically scan a "Non-Base BT Connection" barcode and follow your device's instructions to pair it. Note that some advanced features like multiple work groups might be limited in this mode.

How can I update the scanner's firmware or manage its settings more easily from a PC?
Honeywell provides a PC-based utility called EZConfig. This software allows you to download firmware upgrades, change programmed parameters, save/open configuration files, and create custom programming barcodes.
