Introduction
The Honeywell Voyager 1400g is a versatile corded area imaging scanner designed for efficient and reliable barcode reading. This device offers omnidirectional scanning of virtually all linear (1D) barcodes and the most widely used two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, including those of poor quality or displayed on mobile device screens. Its design allows for an affordable upgrade path to full 2D scanning capabilities, adapting to evolving data capture needs.

Operating Instructions
The Voyager 1400g scanner is designed for ease of use. It supports both handheld and presentation scanning modes.
Handheld Scanning
- Aim: Hold the scanner with the scanning window facing the barcode.
- Press Trigger: Press the trigger button located on the handle. An illumination pattern will appear.
- Scan: Position the illumination pattern over the entire barcode. The scanner will emit a successful read beep and/or the indicator light will change color upon a successful scan.
Presentation Scanning (with Stand)
When placed in its stand, the scanner can operate in presentation mode, automatically detecting and scanning barcodes placed within its field of view without needing to press the trigger.
- Ensure the scanner is securely seated in its stand.
- Present the barcode to the scanner's window. The scanner will automatically detect and read the barcode.
Barcode Types
The Voyager 1400g is capable of reading a wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes. For 2D barcode reading, ensure your specific model has the necessary license enabled. This scanner offers omnidirectional reading, meaning barcodes can be scanned from any orientation.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your scanner.
- Cleaning the Scanning Window: Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth dampened with a mild glass cleaner (non-abrasive) to wipe the scanning window. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the window.
- Cleaning the Housing: Wipe the exterior of the scanner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scanner in water or any cleaning solution.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the USB cable excessively, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
- Storage: When not in use, store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner does not power on. | USB cable not properly connected or no power from USB port. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the host device. Try a different USB port or host device. |
| Scanner does not read barcodes. | Barcode damaged, scanner not aimed correctly, or incorrect symbology enabled. | Ensure the barcode is not damaged. Aim the scanner directly at the barcode, covering the entire code. Refer to the full programming guide for enabling specific barcode symbologies if needed. |
| Scanned data is incorrect or incomplete. | Data formatting issues or partial read. | Ensure the entire barcode is within the scanning area. Check the host application's input settings. |
| Scanner beeps but no data transmitted. | Host device not ready or interface issue. | Ensure the cursor is in a text field on your host application. Reconnect the USB cable. Restart the host device. |
