Honeywell Xenon XP 1950g | Corded 1D/2D Handheld Scanner USB Kit | Ultra HD Focus | Adaptus 6.0 | Black
Overview
The Honeywell Xenon XP 1950g is Honeywell's premium corded general-purpose handheld barcode scanner — engineered to deliver exceptional scan performance on the most challenging barcodes in demanding retail, pharmacy, and logistics environments. Powered by Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0 and a high-resolution imager, it reads 1D and 2D barcodes rapidly and accurately in virtually any condition: damaged, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, low-contrast, or displayed on smartphone screens.
The Ultra HD (UD) focus variant in this kit is optimised for reading high-density, small barcodes at close range — ideal for tiny labels on medication packaging, jewellery, electronics components, and dense GS1 DataBar codes. It complements the standard and HD variants in the 1950g range.
With IP41 ingress protection, 50 drops from 1.8 m, and 2,000 tumbles from 0.5 m, the Xenon XP 1950g is one of the most durable corded handheld scanners in its class. The kit includes a 3m USB Type-A straight cable.

Xenon XP 1950g Focus Options: Which to Choose?
| SR (Standard Range) | HD (High Density) | UD (Ultra HD — This) | |
| Best for | General retail, average barcode sizes | Dense barcodes, electronics, pharmacy | Very high-density, tiny barcodes at close range |
| Scan distance | Longer | Mid-range | Short — close contact |
Use Cases
Pharmacy & Healthcare: The Ultra HD focus reads high-density barcodes on medication packaging, blister packs, small vials, and GS1 DataBar codes that standard SR scanners struggle with at close range.
Electronics & Manufacturing: Reads tiny, high-density barcodes on electronic component labels, PCBs, and small parts that require a close-range, high-resolution imager.
Retail POS: Class-leading durability (50 drops, 2,000 tumbles) with excellent performance on damaged and low-quality barcodes — keeps checkout moving on labels that fail other scanners.
Mobile Payments & Loyalty: Reads QR codes and barcodes on smartphone and tablet screens for digital coupons, loyalty cards, and mobile payment codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Ultra HD focus mean on the Xenon XP 1950g?
Ultra HD (UD) is the highest-density focus option in the 1950g range. It is optimised for reading very small, high-density barcodes at close range — such as tiny 1D barcodes on jewellery tags, high-density GS1 DataBar codes on pharmaceutical packaging, and dense 2D codes on small components. If you regularly scan standard-size retail barcodes at arm's length, the SR (Standard Range) variant is more appropriate.
What is Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0?
Adaptus 6.0 is Honeywell's sixth-generation imaging technology, combining advanced decoding algorithms with a high-resolution image sensor. Key improvements over earlier versions include faster decode speeds on damaged and low-contrast barcodes, improved performance on mobile phone screen barcodes, and better depth-of-field range.
Does the 1950g include vibration feedback?
Vibration mode is available on the Xenon XP 1950g but must be configured via Honeywell's EZConfig software. It is not active by default. Vibration is particularly useful in noisy environments where the beeper tone is inaudible.
What is the difference between the -R and -N suffix on this SKU?
The suffix indicates geographic availability. The -R variant (1950GUD-2USB-R) is the Rest of World version, sold for use outside North America and Latin America. The -N variant is the North America/LATAM version. The scanners are functionally identical — the difference is regulatory compliance certification for different regions.
