The Honeywell ZL2200 (KT Automation reference KTI13001001ZL22) is an entry-level single-line 1D handheld laser scanner engineered for seamless hardware interfacing across standard point-of-sale (POS) systems, commercial workstations, and industrial host terminals. Utilizing a native USB connection, the unit operates as a direct bus-powered device without the need for external secondary power supplies or proprietary communication brackets.
Host Interface & Hardware Integration
The scanner establishes host communication via an integrated USB cable interface. It supports both USB Keyboard Emulation (HID keyboard) and USB Serial Emulation modes, allowing integration into standard accounting, retail point-of-sale, inventory control, and enterprise resource planning software:
- Interface: USB (Universal Serial Bus).
- Operating Voltage: 5 VDC ± 0.25 V sourced directly across the host USB port.
- Power Consumption (Active): 1000 mW (200 mA @ 5 VDC) during active decoding.
- Power Consumption (Standby): 700 mW (140 mA @ 5 VDC) in ready state.
- Deployment: True plug-and-play architecture requiring no driver installation for standard keyboard wedge data streaming. Host system character mapping and regional keyboard layout configurations are managed via programming barcodes.
Supported 1D Barcode Symbologies
The internal decoding firmware supports all standard linear barcode symbologies utilized across logistics, postal handling, document management, and retail trade. Symbology transmission and digit formatting can be individually enabled or disabled by scanning configuration codes from the user documentation.
| Barcode Family | Supported Symbology Types |
|---|---|
| Retail / Consumer Packaging | UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13 |
| Industrial & Logistics Linear | Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, Interleaved 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Codabar |
| Specialty & Postal Formats | MSI Plessey, UK Plessey, Code 11, Telepen, TRI-OPTIC, Airline (13 digits) |
Optical Reading Performance & Media Tolerances
The scanner optical assembly features a 650 nm ± 10 nm visible laser diode delivering 100 scan lines per second across a 55° horizontal scan angle. Reliable data acquisition relies on media meeting minimum contrast and density parameters:
- Minimum Barcode Resolution: 4.5 mil.
- Minimum Print Contrast: 20% minimum reflection difference (MRD) between light spaces and dark bars.
- UPC-A (13 mil) Working Range: 17 mm to 232 mm depth of field.
- Intermediate Resolution (7.5 mil) Working Range: 20 mm to 163 mm depth of field.
- High-Density Resolution (5 mil) Working Range: 47 mm to 111 mm depth of field.
Electromagnetic & Operating Environment Compatibility
Engineered for varied indoor commercial lighting and ambient electrical conditions, the ZL2200 maintains stable decoding without interference under standard facility deployments:
- Ambient Light Immunity: Fully operable across illumination levels from complete darkness up to 100,000 Lux (direct sunlight tolerance).
- Electromagnetic Compatibility: Complies with EN55022 Class B standards for electromagnetic interference mitigation.
- Temperature Constraints: Operating range of 0°C to 40°C (storage rating from -40°C to 60°C).
- Atmospheric Moisture: Operates in relative humidity ranges of 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
