[The Honeywell HF680][1] is the newest addition to their line of presentation scanners. The scanner was designed to replace most of Honeywell’s presentation scanners - products like the Orbit, Genesis, and Fusion scanners. And what a replacement it is! Solid performance, a great price tag, and robust compatibility makes this a great choice for any retail environment.

The scanner features a powerful 2D scan engine allowing for omnidirectional scanning and the ability to scan off of smartphones -- a feature really helpful if you’re going to be doing anything with coupons. To put into context the difference in scanner performance: the HF680’s imager has a 1280 x 900 pixel resolution while the Orbit has a 640 x 480 pixel resolution. This means the HF680 can read barcodes as small as 3-mil, barcodes covered with water, as well as bent and damaged barcodes better than other devices in Honeywell’s presentation scanner lineup. All this performance comes at a great price, too. The HF680 comes in at the mid-$200 range. This is lower than every other presentation scanner in Honeywell’s line and close to other manufacturers’ entry-level models. Other notable features on the device include an vertically-adjustable scanner head and a red LED ring around the scanner to highlight the scanning target area.

The HF680 comes in black and white options and both colors have separate USB and Serial interface options. With the serial connection, you’re able to connect the scanner to Ruby Verifone, Sam4S, and Sharpe registers with a little bit of programming. Instructions for how to program the scanner to each of those systems can be found on the [product listing for the scanner][2].

Finally, the HF680 is rated to operate for 40,000 hours before failure and comes with a three year manufacturer warranty. With that, you can feel confident knowing that you have a unit that will last you awhile.
