Ideal For
The Solaris XP 7990G is purpose-built for high-volume retail checkout in convenience stores, drug stores, specialty retailers, liquor stores and grocery stores.

The auxiliary port enables seamless connection to a secondary bottom-of-basket scanner for large grocery carts. The XP platform's motion tolerance and snappiness keep checkout lines moving even during peak hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The 7990G-2USBX-1 is a USB kit without power supply. When connected via USB, the scanner can draw power from the USB host (5V host power). For RS232 or RS485 connections, or where a dedicated power supply is required, it must be ordered separately.
Yes. The Solaris XP 7990G is a drop-in replacement for the previous Solaris 7980g models — it fits into the same enclosures without modification, making upgrades fast and straightforward with no counter re-cutting or re-fitting required.
Yes. The Solaris XP 7990G reads barcodes on smartphone screens and digital wallets — making it compatible with mobile loyalty cards, digital coupons, QR code payments and e-ticket scanning at the checkout counter.
The auxiliary port allows the Solaris XP 7990G to connect to a secondary scanner — typically a bottom-of-basket scanner positioned below the checkout counter to capture large or heavy items left in the shopping cart without lifting them onto the belt.
Buyer's Guide
The Solaris XP 7990G is the correct choice for retailers upgrading from the Solaris 7980g or deploying a new vertical slot presentation scanner for high-volume checkout. The XP platform's motion tolerance and snappiness directly translate to faster throughput and shorter queues. The backward-compatible footprint means zero counter modification costs.
Note: This USB kit does not include a power supply — USB host power is typically sufficient. For a horizontal countertop presentation scanner, consider the Honeywell Stratos series. For a housing-free embedded version, see the 7990GEL-2USBC-1.
