Product Features
Technical Overview
The Xenon Ultra 1960G features a 1280 x 1080 pixel image sensor that supports high-density scanning with precise element resolution. It reads Code 39 barcodes from 3 mil to 20 mil, DataMatrix codes from 5 mil to 10 mil, and PDF417 codes from 5 mil to 6.70 mil. The scanner maintains a 15% minimum print contrast requirement for consistent readability across various label qualities.
Advanced motion tolerance of 133.86 inches per second allows for rapid pass scanning, while wide reading angles (65° skew, 65° pitch, 360° roll) and a 42° horizontal by 36° vertical field of view ensure flexible positioning. The white LED illumination system operates effectively in ambient light up to 100,000 lux.
