Honeywell Hyperion 1300g linear imager

The Hyperion 1300g is a wired hand‑held linear imager originally based on Honeywell’s long‑selling Visioneer 3800g platform—combining high-performance barcode reading, rugged durability, and ergonomics for general-purpose and light industrial use

Scanning Performance

• Scan Rate: Up to 270 scans per second, enabling fast continuous scanning

• Density Support: Reads down to 3 mil barcodes; handles typical 13 mil UPC codes from ≈1 cm (0.5 ") to 46 cm (18 ") (~0.3–46 cm)

• Symbology Support: Standard 1D and GS1 DataBar symbologies, including Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Telepen, ISBN, China Post, Trioptic, MSI, etc.

Durability & Build

• Ingress Rating: IP41 — protected from solid debris and light splashes (not water jets)

• Drop Resistance: Survives multiple drops from up to 1.5 m (5 ft) onto concrete

• With no moving parts (thanks to linear imager design), it's built for longevity and low maintenance

Ergonomics & Design

• Weight: Approximately 160 g (5.6 oz)—light enough to reduce fatigue

• Form Factor: Gun-shaped handle designed for both right- and left-handed use; trigger placement optimized for scan-intensive workflows

• Modes: Supports both manual trigger and automatic (presentation) scanning when placed in a stand

Connectivity & Management

• Multi‑Interface Support: Compatible with USB (HID or virtual COM), PS/2 keyboard wedge, RS‑232, and via adapter RS‑232C/RS‑485. It detects the host interface automatically—no need for manual configuration

• Software Compatibility: Works with Honeywell Remote MasterMind for centralized remote device configuration and fleet management

Ideal Use Cases

• Retail and POS environments – quick, hands-on scanning of standard 1D barcodes.

• Office and administrative settings – scan receipts, documents, or small goods.

• Light industrial or warehouse workflows – durable enough to survive drops and rough handling, while reading even poor-quality labels.

• Libraries, pharmacies, healthcare, and labs – capable of reading small or damaged codes, including from mobile screens.

Summary

The Honeywell Hyperion 1300g strikes a balance between speed (270 scans/sec), accuracy (down to 3 mil resolution), and ruggedness (IP41, drop-tested). Its
multi-interface capability, ergonomic design, and remote management support make it a solid all-around 1D scanning solution. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it's well-suited for scan-heavy environments where cost-effectiveness and reliability matter.
