What barcode symbologies does the Honeywell MK7180-31A138 scanner read?
The Honeywell MK7180 OrbitCG reads standard 1D and GS1 DataBar symbologies with omnidirectional scanning capabilities. This makes it ideal for general-purpose warehouse and retail applications where you need to scan barcodes from multiple angles without repositioning the scanner.
Is the Honeywell MK7180-31A138 suitable for harsh warehouse environments?
Yes, the MK7180 is designed for demanding environments with environmental sealing to resist airborne particulate contaminants and can operate in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing. It's also built to withstand 1.2 meter (4-foot) drops, making it durable for active warehouse use.
What connectivity options are available with this Honeywell scanner?
The MK7180-31A138 includes USB connectivity via a 2.9-meter (9.5-foot) straight USB Type A cable. The scanner also supports multiple host system interfaces including RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, IBM 468xx (RS485), and Light Pen Wand Emulation, giving you flexibility in system integration.
How much power does the Honeywell MK7180 consume?
The MK7180 operates at 5 VDC with an operating power consumption of 900 mW (180 mA @ 5V) and standby power of 850 mW (170mA @ 5V). This low power consumption makes it suitable for extended use in warehouse operations without significant power infrastructure requirements.
What is the scanning speed and performance of the MK7180-31A138?
The MK7180 delivers omnidirectional scanning at 1120 scan lines per second with its 5-field parallel line pattern, or single-line scanning at 56 scan lines per second when button-activated. It requires a minimum print contrast of 35% reflectance difference and can read barcodes at pitch and skew angles up to 60 degrees.
Does the Honeywell MK7180 come with a warranty?
Yes, the Honeywell MK7180-31A138 includes a 3-year factory warranty, providing you with extended protection and peace of mind for your investment. Contact us today at barcodesinc.com to discuss warranty options and support for your deployment.
