Product identity

The Honeywell MK3780-61A38 is a handheld barcode scanner that combines a 20-line omnidirectional pattern with a single-line pattern for targeted menu reading. It connects through USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge or IBM 46xx interfaces and draws 1.4 W during operation.

Who it suits and who it does not

Retail and light-industrial users who need fast first-pass reads on standard 1D barcodes will benefit from the automatic in-stand detection and IR wake-up. Buyers who require 2D imaging, long-range scanning or wireless mobility should look at a different device class.

Sustained operation

The scanner runs at 1.0 W in standby and 1.4 W while scanning, with no active cooling required. Automatic sleep mode and instant IR wake-up keep power draw low during idle periods, while the optional RF EAS antenna integration supports continuous checkpoint use without extra hardware.

Questions about this item

Does this scanner need an external power supply or does it draw power from the host interface?

It operates on 5 VDC ± 0.25 V and draws 275 mA at 1.4 W from the host interface, so no separate supply is required.

Can I connect this MK3780-61A38 to a legacy IBM 46xx register port?

Yes, the scanner supports IBM 46xx along with USB, RS232 and Keyboard Wedge host interfaces.

How do I confirm the omnidirectional 20-line pattern is active after setup?

Present a barcode at various angles; the scanner should read it without needing precise alignment, showing the omnidirectional pattern is working.
