The Honeywell Granit 1980i is a corded, industrial-grade barcode scanner designed for warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, cold-storage operations and forklift-mounted workstations.
It uses full-range area-imaging technology to read supported 1D and 2D barcodes across exceptionally wide distances. Honeywell designed it to capture high-density 2 mil codes at close range and large 100 mil warehouse codes from as far as approximately 16 metres under suitable conditions.
The scanner combines a laser-spot aimer, automatic illumination, omnidirectional decoding and barcode-centering functions to help workers target labels positioned on products, shelves, pallets and warehouse racks.
The Honeywell Granit 1980i is no longer a current-production scanner.
Honeywell lists the following lifecycle dates:

These figures come from Honeywell’s official Granit 1980i datasheet. Real scanning distances can be affected by label quality, barcode size, contrast, printing method and environmental conditions.
Full-range area imaging means the scanner can capture supported barcodes across a much wider distance range than an ordinary retail or standard-range warehouse scanner.
The Honeywell Granit 1980i can read:
Because it captures an image of the complete barcode, it can read compatible linear and two-dimensional symbols from different orientations.
This is different from a long-range laser scanner that may only read 1D linear barcodes. The Granit 1980i combines extended range with 2D capability.
The Granit 1980i supports standard linear and two-dimensional barcode families.
Common 1D applications include:
Common 2D applications include:
Honeywell’s Xenon and Granit programming guide includes QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, MicroPDF417 and other 2D formats among the supported configurable symbologies. The exact formats enabled on an individual scanner depend on its configuration.
Yes. The Granit 1980i is a 2D area-imaging scanner and supports QR-code decoding through its configurable symbology system.
QR-code uses may include:
Honeywell’s 1980i datasheet does not publish a specific QR-code range table. QR performance therefore depends on the QR code’s module size, printing quality, contrast and configuration.
A physical scan test is recommended when long-range QR scanning is a primary requirement.
Yes. Data Matrix is a supported 2D barcode family, and Honeywell publishes detailed Data Matrix working ranges for the Granit 1980i.
| Data Matrix size | Typical scanning range |
|---|---|
| 7.5 mil | 10–75.9cm |
| 10 mil | 10–102.3cm |
| 55 mil | 42.8–591.3cm |
| 100 mil | 80.7–1,032.5cm |
A 100 mil Data Matrix code can therefore be read from approximately 10.3 metres under Honeywell’s test conditions.
Actual results may be affected by:
Honeywell publishes the following typical reading distances:
| Barcode density | Typical range |
|---|---|
| 7.5 mil | 10–164.9cm |
| 10 mil | 10–216cm |
| 20 mil | 15.2–434.5cm |
| 40 mil | 36.4–989.1cm |
| 55 mil | 52.2–1,322.4cm |
| 100 mil | 103.4–1,600cm |
| Barcode type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| 13 mil EAN/UPC | 12.2–229.8cm |
| 7.5 mil Data Matrix | 10–75.9cm |
| 10 mil Data Matrix | 10–102.3cm |
| 55 mil Data Matrix | 42.8–591.3cm |
| 100 mil Data Matrix | 80.7–1,032.5cm |
The maximum published range is approximately 16 metres for a large 100 mil Code 39 barcode. These are typical figures rather than guaranteed distances.
Yes. Honeywell lists a minimum resolution of 2 mil for supported 1D and 2D barcodes.
This makes the scanner suitable for selected small labels used on:
Small-code performance requires:
Honeywell specifically promotes the 1980i’s ability to read poor-quality 2 mil codes at close range.
Yes. Forklift-based scanning is one of the main workflows Honeywell highlights for the Granit 1980i.
Its extended range allows an operator to remain seated while targeting compatible labels on:
The integrated laser-spot aimer and centering function help the worker select the required barcode when several labels appear in the same direction.
Practical range may be reduced by label size, rack angle, poor printing, dust, direct sunlight and vehicle vibration.
The Granit 1980i uses a laser-spot aiming system to indicate where the scanner is targeting.
This is particularly important at extended distances because a warehouse worker may be aiming at several labels placed close together on racks or pallets.
The aimer helps the operator:
The scanner still uses area-imaging technology to capture and decode the barcode. The laser spot is an aiming aid rather than a single-line laser-scanning engine.
Barcode centering restricts decoding to a selected part of the scanner’s imaging field.
Without centering, an area imager may detect more than one barcode when several labels appear within view. Centering helps the scanner transmit the code closest to the aiming point.
This can be useful for:
Honeywell identifies centering as one of the features that helps remove uncertainty during extended-range scanning.
The Granit 1980i can read some poor-quality or damaged codes when enough barcode data remains visible.
Honeywell specifically states that it can scan poor-quality 2 mil codes at close range. Its area-imaging system can also provide better flexibility than a basic single-line laser scanner when a label is wrinkled, faded or presented at an angle.
Scanning may still fail when:
Critical shipping, pallet and inventory labels should be replaced when they are severely damaged.
Honeywell lists separate minimum contrast levels for 1D and 2D codes:
| Barcode category | Minimum reflectance difference |
|---|---|
| 1D barcodes | 30% |
| 2D barcodes | 40% |
Print contrast measures the difference between dark barcode elements and their lighter background.
A barcode may be difficult to scan when:
Clear black-on-white warehouse labels normally provide the most dependable results.
The Granit 1980i was designed for harsh industrial environments rather than ordinary office or retail-counter use.
Honeywell lists:
These specifications make the scanner suitable for warehouses, loading areas, manufacturing floors and cold environments where ordinary general-purpose scanners may fail more quickly.
The Honeywell Granit 1980i has an IP65 ingress-protection rating.
The first digit, 6, indicates a dust-tight enclosure.
The second digit, 5, indicates protection against water jets under the conditions defined by the IP test standard.
IP65 does not mean the scanner should be:
The scanner and interface connection should be inspected regularly to maintain environmental protection.
Yes. Honeywell lists an operating range from -30°C to 50°C.
The scanner’s drop testing was also performed at temperatures as low as -30°C, making it more suitable for cold warehouses than many standard commercial barcode scanners.
Cold-environment precautions include:
IP65 protection does not eliminate the risk of moisture condensation inside damaged equipment.
Honeywell offered an industrial-grade cable option for the Granit 1980i.
The official datasheet states that this cable was tested for:
This cable option is designed for forklift, warehouse and industrial installations where an ordinary scanner cable may be bent, pulled or exposed to cold conditions repeatedly.
The industrial cable is an option and may not be included with every scanner kit. Verify the cable type before ordering.
The Granit 1980i supports:
The exact connection depends on the interface cable and product kit.
USB is commonly used with:
A compatible USB configuration may transmit barcode data as keyboard input or through a supported software interface.
True RS-232 can be used with:
A serial installation may require:
Confirm whether the GS Systemz package is a USB kit, serial kit or scanner-only unit.
No. The Granit 1980i is a corded industrial scanner.
It receives power and sends barcode data through its attached USB or RS-232 connection. It does not contain a rechargeable battery or Bluetooth radio.
A corded scanner is suitable when:
The Granit 1981i was the cordless model from the same generation, but its lifecycle also reached end of service in May 2026. Honeywell lists the Granit 1991iXLR as its replacement.
The 1980i is an area-imaging scanner, so it may decode compatible 1D and 2D symbols displayed on suitable digital screens.
However, Honeywell’s official 1980i datasheet focuses on printed industrial, pallet, carton and warehouse labels rather than smartphone applications. Screen scanning should therefore be tested with the exact:
A retail or modern general-purpose scanner may provide a more suitable design when smartphone scanning is the main requirement.
The Granit 1980i is positioned as a full-range industrial label scanner, not as a specialist direct-part-mark scanner.
Some clear, high-contrast marks may be readable, but buyers should not assume reliable performance on:
Test the exact direct part mark before purchasing. A purpose-built DPM scanner is normally a safer choice when direct marks are the primary application.
The scanner can transmit decoded barcode data to compatible warehouse, ERP, inventory, shipping and manufacturing applications through USB or RS-232.
Compatibility depends on:
Honeywell’s programming system allows supported barcode symbologies and data-output behaviour to be configured for different applications.
Test the scanner with the actual WMS, ERP or inventory platform before purchasing multiple units.
Yes. Honeywell lists the Granit 1980i as an end-of-life and now end-of-service product.
It reached end of life in May 2023. The last listed contract date was also May 2023, and official service ended in May 2026. The Granit XP 1990iXLR is Honeywell’s recommended replacement.
Because the end-of-service date has passed, buyers should verify:
Honeywell’s original datasheet listed a three-year factory warranty for the Granit 1980i.
That historical warranty does not mean remaining units automatically include a new three-year Honeywell warranty. The product reached end of service in May 2026.
GS Systemz should clearly state:
Do not advertise a current three-year factory warranty unless coverage has been verified for the exact serial number.
