Honeywell Orbit 7190g | Hybrid Presentation Scanner | Omnidirectional Laser + 2D Imager | Dual-Mode | Tilting Head | USB Kit | Black
Overview
The Honeywell Orbit 7190g is the breakthrough hybrid presentation scanner that combines two scanning technologies in a single award-winning device — a 20-line omnidirectional laser for proven high-speed 1D barcode scanning, and an integrated area imager for reading digital 1D, 2D, and PDF417 barcodes from smartphones and printed labels. No other presentation scanner in its class needs to be replaced for the growing volume of mobile coupons, loyalty QR codes, and digital receipts that customers present at the checkout.
The dual-mode design automatically optimises for each task: when a cashier passes merchandise past the scanner, the laser pattern handles it at full speed without lighting up the area imager unnecessarily. When a customer presents a phone, the imager activates seamlessly. The result is a faster, quieter, less intrusive checkout experience for both staff and customers.
The iconic Orbit form factor allows it to be picked up and used as a handheld scanner for large or bulky items, and the scan head tilts up to 30° to accommodate different product sizes and angles. Plug-and-play installation with automatic interface detection means it configures itself when plugged in — no programming barcodes required.

Use Cases
Retail POS & Convenience Stores: Handles both merchandise barcodes and mobile loyalty/coupon QR codes at full speed without switching devices. The tilting head lets cashiers scan the bottom of large items or bulky packaged goods without lifting them off the counter.
Quick Service Restaurants (QSR): Reads digital coupons, mobile order codes, and gift card barcodes from smartphones. The compact Orbit footprint fits tight counter spaces typical of QSR environments.
Pharmacy & Drug Stores: Scans prescription barcodes, loyalty cards, and GS1 DataBar codes on pharmaceutical packaging. Age verification via mobile driver's license QR codes.
Hospitality & Hotels: Reads digital vouchers, event tickets, and mobile check-in codes from guest smartphones alongside standard 1D barcodes on physical documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dual-mode work — does the cashier need to switch modes?
No. The Orbit 7190g switches automatically between laser mode (for merchandise barcodes) and imager mode (for digital/smartphone barcodes) without any input from the cashier. The scanner detects which mode is appropriate for each item — the cashier just scans normally. This eliminates the training burden and workflow disruption of managing two separate scanners or manually selecting modes.
Can the Orbit 7190g be used as a handheld scanner?
Yes. The Orbit's iconic shape was specifically designed to be picked up and used as a handheld scanner for large, bulky, or awkwardly shaped items that cannot be easily passed over the presentation window. This is a key advantage over flat presentation scanners that are difficult to use in handheld mode.
Does the Orbit 7190g need a separate power supply?
No, for USB connections. The scanner is USB-powered and draws power directly from the host PC or POS system via the USB cable — no separate power brick or wall adapter needed. If RS-232 is used, a compatible Honeywell 5.2V power supply is required.
Is the 7190g compatible with my existing POS system?
Almost certainly. The Orbit 7190g features automatic interface detection — when plugged in, it detects whether it is connected via USB, RS-232, or Keyboard Wedge and configures itself accordingly. No programming barcodes or software configuration is required for standard deployments. It is compatible with virtually all major POS systems.
