First, download the latest firmware from the Honeywell website. As an example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/honeywell\/xenon-1900.htm\">Xenon 1900<\/a> firmware can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/hsmftp.honeywell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Honeywell List of Software<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.) Expand the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Software\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tab, Barcode Scanners, Handheld, and scroll down to &#8220;Xenon XP 1950g and 1950hc&#8221;. This takes you to that device&#8217;s specific firmware revision file with a download button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1035\" height=\"751\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Honeywell-Firmware-Update-for-Xenon.png\" alt=\"honeywell firmware update\" style=\"width: 600px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Honeywell-Firmware-Update-for-Xenon.png 1035w, https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Honeywell-Firmware-Update-for-Xenon-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Honeywell-Firmware-Update-for-Xenon-1024x743.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Honeywell-Firmware-Update-for-Xenon-768x557.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.) Save the .SMOC file to your hard drive so that you can grab it later.
