The Honeywell Orbit HF680 is a corded, hands-free desktop barcode scanner designed for retail checkout, pharmacies, customer-service counters and other point-of-sale workstations.
It uses a 1-megapixel area-imaging sensor and a 1GHz processor to read standard 1D, PDF and 2D barcodes, including QR codes. It can also scan compatible digital-screen codes and some damaged or poorly printed barcodes.
The Honeywell HF680 combines hands-free scanning, modern styling and 2D barcode support in a compact desktop device.
Customers or employees can present products, printed labels and smartphone barcodes directly in front of the scanner. This reduces the need to pick up and trigger a handheld scanner for every transaction.
Its 1-megapixel sensor, 1GHz processor and motion tolerance of up to 2.5 metres per second help it process fast-moving retail barcodes, including digital and damaged symbols.
The scanner also uses recessed illumination that activates when an object is presented and switches off when the scanner is not being used. This makes the lighting less distracting at customer-facing counters.

The performance figures can be affected by barcode dimensions, print quality, contrast, reflections and environmental conditions.
A desktop presentation scanner remains positioned on a checkout counter or workstation and automatically reads a barcode presented inside its scanning area.
The operator normally does not need to pick up the scanner or press a trigger for each product. Products, mobile phones, coupons and membership codes can be presented in front of the scan window.
This design is useful for:
The HF680 can also be picked up when a barcode is attached to a large or bulky product that cannot be conveniently moved across the counter.
Hands-free scanning means the scanner automatically detects and attempts to decode compatible barcodes presented within its reading area.
This reduces repeated hand movement during checkout and allows the employee to use both hands to move, pack or organise products.
Hands-free operation is especially useful when:
The HF680’s illumination automatically switches off when no object is presented, reducing unnecessary light at the checkout counter.
A 2D area-imaging scanner captures a complete image of the barcode instead of reading only one horizontal laser line.
This allows the Honeywell HF680 to read traditional linear product barcodes as well as compatible square and stacked symbols.
Common 1D barcode applications include:
Common 2D barcode applications include:
Honeywell officially lists standard 1D, PDF and 2D decoding. The exact enabled formats depend on the scanner kit and configuration.
Yes. The Honeywell Orbit HF680 can scan QR codes through its 2D area-imaging engine.
Honeywell lists a typical scanning range of approximately 0–210mm for a 20 mil QR code. Actual performance depends on the code’s dimensions, contrast, print or screen quality and environmental conditions.
QR-code scanning can be used for:
The required QR-code format should be tested with the actual POS or business application before multiple units are deployed.
Yes. The HF680 reads normal 1D product barcodes as well as supported PDF and 2D symbols.
It can process barcodes used for:
Honeywell lists a typical scanning range of up to approximately 210mm for a 13 mil UPC-A barcode.
Yes. Honeywell designed the HF680 to read compatible digital barcodes displayed on smartphones and other electronic screens.
This makes it useful for:
Honeywell specifically highlights its ability to process traditionally difficult digital barcodes at retail checkout counters.
When a mobile barcode is difficult to read:
The Honeywell HF680 is designed to improve scanning of some damaged, poorly printed and difficult-to-read barcodes.
Its megapixel sensor and 1GHz processor can help minimise checkout delays when a product label is faded, scratched or displayed digitally.
The HF680 may improve scanning of:
No scanner can recover barcode information when important sections of the symbol are completely missing. Severely damaged labels should be replaced or reprinted.
The Honeywell HF680 has a listed motion tolerance of up to 2.5 metres per second for a 13 mil UPC barcode at the optimal focal position.
Motion tolerance describes how quickly a barcode can move through the scanning field while remaining readable. It does not mean that the scanner processes 2.5 products per second.
Actual checkout performance can depend on:
Move products smoothly through the reading area rather than presenting them with unpredictable motion.
The HF680’s working distance depends on the barcode type and density.
| Barcode Type | Typical Scanning Range |
|---|---|
| 5 mil Code 39 | 0–100mm |
| 6.7 mil PDF | 0–110mm |
| 10 mil Data Matrix | 0–90mm |
| 13 mil UPC-A | 0–210mm |
| 20 mil Code 39 | 0–300mm |
| 20 mil QR Code | 0–210mm |
The scanner can read supported codes placed close to its scanning window. Larger, lower-density barcodes can generally be scanned from farther away than very small or dense symbols.
Actual scanning range may be affected by:
Yes. Honeywell lists a minimum resolution of 3 mil for 1D barcodes and 6.7 mil for 2D symbols under suitable conditions.
A mil is one-thousandth of an inch and describes the width of the narrowest barcode element.
Small barcodes require:
A physical scan test is recommended when the business uses unusually small product, jewellery, electronics or pharmaceutical barcodes.
Print contrast measures the difference between the dark barcode elements and the lighter background.
Honeywell lists a minimum reflectance difference of 20% for the HF680 under suitable testing conditions.
A barcode may become difficult to read when:
Clear black-on-white printing generally produces the most dependable results.
The HF680 uses low-profile, recessed LED lights inside its scanning window.
These lights illuminate the barcode when an object is presented. When the scanner is not being used, its illumination automatically switches off.
This design provides several benefits:
The scanning lights should never be covered with stickers, tape or product labels.
Yes. Although the HF680 is primarily a desktop presentation scanner, its shape allows an operator to pick it up and move it toward a product barcode.
This is useful when a product is too large, heavy or awkward to move across the checkout counter.
Possible examples include:
The scanner remains corded, so its movement is limited by the connected USB or RS-232 cable.
Yes. Honeywell states that the HF680’s scanning head can be tilted upward or downward to accommodate products of different sizes and shapes.
This allows the scanning field to be directed toward the normal product path at the checkout counter.
An adjustable scan head can help when:
Do not force the scanner beyond its supported adjustment range.
The Honeywell HF680 supports USB and RS-232 host interfaces.
The exact connection cable depends on the selected product kit.
USB is commonly used with:
In a compatible USB HID configuration, scanned barcode data can appear in an active software field similarly to typed keyboard input.
RS-232 may be used with:
An RS-232 installation may require:
Confirm the required interface and included cable before ordering.
No. The Honeywell HF680 is a corded desktop scanner.
It does not contain a rechargeable battery or use Bluetooth for normal operation. It connects to a compatible host system through USB or RS-232.
A corded presentation scanner is suitable when:
Choose a cordless handheld scanner when staff need to move around shelves, cartons or warehouse aisles.
The HF680 is designed for point-of-sale and general barcode-data-entry applications.
Honeywell provides EZConfig configuration support and OPOS/JPOS drivers to simplify installation with compatible POS systems.
Compatibility still depends on:
Test the HF680 with the actual billing or inventory application before purchasing several units.
Honeywell EZConfig is a configuration utility for supported barcode scanners.
It can help businesses manage scanner behaviour and prepare settings for compatible POS installations. Honeywell specifically identifies EZConfig as a tool for rapidly configuring the HF680.
Configuration options may include:
Only change scanner settings after confirming the data format required by the POS or inventory software.
OPOS and JPOS are standard interface technologies used by many point-of-sale applications.
Honeywell provides OPOS and JPOS driver support to help integrate the HF680 with compatible POS systems.
Driver support can help with:
Availability of a driver does not guarantee compatibility with every POS application. The exact hardware and software combination should be tested.
The Honeywell HF680 is designed for normal commercial and retail use.
Honeywell states that it is designed to withstand drops from approximately one metre. The scanner also carries an IP42 environmental-protection rating on its official product specifications.
It is suitable for:
It is not intended to replace a rugged industrial scanner in environments involving heavy dust, moisture, repeated severe impacts or outdoor exposure.
The Honeywell HF680 has an IP42 environmental-protection rating.
The first digit, 4, indicates protection against solid objects larger than approximately 1mm.
The second digit, 2, indicates limited protection against vertically dripping water when the device is tilted within specified limits.
IP42 does not make the HF680 waterproof. Do not:
Keep the scanner in a dry indoor environment.
Honeywell lists an operating-temperature range of -10°C to 40°C.
The scanner can be stored from -40°C to 60°C and used in relative humidity from 0% to 95%, provided condensation does not form. It can tolerate ambient light levels up to 100,000 lux.
