The Honeywell Orbit 7120 (MS7120) is a compact, corded omnidirectional 1D laser presentation scanner and a proven classic at retail checkouts. Its 20-line scan pattern – 5 fields of 4 parallel lines at 1,120 scan lines per second – reads 1D barcodes in almost any orientation, so items can simply be passed in front of the scan window without careful aiming. The scan head tilts by up to 30° to suit different item sizes, and the scanner stands on its own built-in base – no separate stand needed – yet can be picked up to scan bulky items. Each Orbit 7120 version is built for one host interface – USB or RS232 – so please choose the version that matches your system. Please note: as a 1D laser scanner, it does not read 2D codes such as QR codes, nor barcodes shown on phone screens. This version, MK7120-31A38, is the black USB kit, supplied with a 2.8 m USB cable and a wall/counter mounting plate – the scanner is powered via USB, so you can plug it in and start scanning right away.

Key Features
- Omnidirectional laser scanning – a 20-line pattern (5 fields of 4 parallel lines) at 1,120 scan lines per second reads 1D barcodes in almost any orientation, keeping the checkout line moving.
- Tilting scan head – the head tilts by up to 30°, so the scan field can be adjusted to the counter height and to large or small items.
- Hands-free or handheld – stands securely on its built-in base for hands-free scanning; simply pick it up to scan large or heavy items.
- Compact footprint – just 105 × 102 × 150 mm, ideal for crowded counters in small shops, kiosks and pharmacies.

- Easy configuration – set up quickly with MetroSelect programming barcodes or the MetroSet 2 PC software, which also provides free firmware updates; OPOS / JPOS compatible.
- Low maintenance – power save mode, sealed against airborne dust, designed to withstand 1.2 m drops, and user-replaceable PowerLink cables.
- 3-year factory warranty – long-term peace of mind from Honeywell.
Ideal Applications
- PC-, tablet- and cloud-based POS systems with a USB port
- Convenience stores, small supermarkets, kiosks and pharmacies with limited counter space

Not sure which version you need? Choose a USB kit (MK7120-31A38 black, MK7120-71A38 white) for PCs, tablets and modern POS systems – the scanner is powered via USB, so no power supply is needed. Choose an RS232 kit (MK7120-31C41 black, MK7120-71C41 white) for POS terminals and cash registers with a serial port; it includes the required power supply with an EU plug. The scanner-only version MS7120-38-3 is a cost-effective replacement if you already have a Honeywell USB PowerLink cable. Need to read QR codes or barcodes on phone screens? Then choose a 2D presentation imager instead – compare all models in our Presentation Barcode Scanners collection or contact our team for volume pricing.
