Successor to Xenon XP · Corded and cordlessHoneywell Xenon Ultra 1960g and 1962g – fast 2D barcode scanner
The Honeywell Xenon Ultra succeeds the Xenon XP series for checkouts, stores, pharmacies, offices and light warehouse work. It quickly reads damaged and poor-quality barcodes too. The 1960g is corded; the 1962g is a cordless Bluetooth model with either a battery or a supercapacitor that charges in under a minute.
Supercapacitor charges in under a minute
The cordless 1962g is available with a battery-free supercapacitor that charges fully in under 60 seconds and lasts 500,000 charge cycles – no batteries to replace or wear out. Alternatively, a 3,300 mAh Li-ion battery delivers up to 80,000 scans and about 22 hours of use.

Frequently asked questions about the Honeywell Xenon Ultra
What is the difference between the Xenon Ultra 1960g and 1962g?
The 1960g is a corded scanner (USB, keyboard wedge or RS-232) with a 5-year warranty. The 1962g is a cordless Bluetooth model with up to 100 m range to the base, powered by a battery or a supercapacitor.
What is a supercapacitor?
A battery-free power source that charges fully in under a minute and lasts 500,000 charge cycles. One charge covers about 450 scans, so it suits checkouts where the scanner rests in the base between uses.
Which scan model should I choose?
SR suits most applications. HD reads small, dense codes, for example on pharmacy and electronics products. XR is designed for longer reading distances.
Does the Xenon Ultra work with my old Xenon XP cable?
Yes. The Xenon Ultra 1960g uses the same cable as the Xenon XP 1950g.
What is the warranty on the Xenon Ultra?
1960g: 5 years. 1962g: 3 years, with 5 years on the supercapacitor and 1 year on the Li-ion battery.
