Lettore di codici a barre fisso Honeywell HF680

Honeywell HF680 is a fixed 2D area-imaging scanner designed to read a wide range of 1D, PDF and 2D symbologies from both paper and electronic displays. The HF680 uses LED sensor technology and a hybrid imaging system to deliver consistent decoding performance across LCD and OLED screens as well as printed barcodes. It connects via wired interfaces such as RS-232 and operates on DC power, offering a compact, durable unit suitable for continuous use in industrial, healthcare and retail POS environments.

Advantages

The HF680 features distributive illumination with 18 recessed LEDs to reduce eye strain and automatic lighting control that turns off when idle and stays on during intermittent use. Its IR-enabled decoding and hybrid imaging technology improve sensing accuracy and reduce the need for manual mode switching. The scanner reads challenging codes — including 3‑mil, dense, inverse, bent, water-covered and damaged barcodes — and has been tested for long service life, exceeding 40,000 hours in simulated use. Plug-and-play wired connectivity simplifies integration.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale barcode scanning
• Manufacturing line and inventory tracking
• Medical and healthcare barcode reading (patient IDs, sample labels)
• Environments requiring hands-free fixed scanning

• Power: DC, typical consumption ~2 W
• Weight: 0.278 kg
• Dimensions (approx.): 88 mm (W) x 85 mm (D)

• Manufacturer part number (MPN): HF680-R1-2RS232-EU

How to use

Install the HF680 in a fixed position at the required scanning station and connect it to the host system using the wired interface (for example RS-232). Position items or present devices with on-screen barcodes across the scan window so the illumination and imaging plane capture the code. The scanner's automatic lighting control and hybrid imaging remove the need to change modes for most barcode types; allow a brief steady presentation for dense or damaged codes if required.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure the scanner is mounted at a stable angle and distance appropriate for the expected barcode sizes. Maintain a clean scan window and set host-system serial parameters to match the HF680 interface. For smartphone screens, a display brightness between 10% and 100% is supported; for printed codes ensure at least 20% print contrast.
