The Hyperion™ 1300g linear-imaging barcode scanner is ideal for scan-intensive and light industrial applications. It features an ideal balance of performance, ergonomics and best-in-class durability (as in tough-enough-to-hammer-nails durable). For years of hassle-free, getting-the-job-done performance, the Hyperion 1300g scanner is the one.

The 1300g scanner is fast and intuitive to use. Even better, it eliminates the need to buy specialty scanners. That’s because the 1300g scanner lets you read 13 mil barcodes out to 45.7 cm (18 in) and high-density barcodes as small as 3 mil.

And with no moving parts to wear out, the Hyperion 1300g scanner is one of the toughest general duty scanners on the market – so tough, in fact, you can hammer nails with it! ^{Honeywell ™}
