The Honeywell 1400G Voyager linear/area-imaging scanner is black, is handheld, comes with a USB cable and a stand, and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes. A laser produces lines of light in an omnidirectional pattern to scan barcodes on labels or cell phone screens at different angles. The barcode reader's USB cable can be plugged into the USB port of a computer or another host system (sold separately) to transmit barcode data. The stand enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position. Honeywell Remote MasterMind software (available separately for download) can be used by an administrator to manage the device remotely. The barcode reader weighs 4.2 oz. and measures 7.1 x 2.6 x 1.7 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It can withstand 30 drops of up to 1.5 m (5') on a concrete floor.

Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection.
