Metrologic Barcode Scanners — Honeywell Metrologic Handheld Scanners for Retail and POS
Metrologic is a long-established barcode scanner brand, now part of Honeywell following its acquisition in 2008. Metrologic scanners — sold today as Honeywell Metrologic — are known for their rugged build and reliable omnidirectional scanning, and remain a popular choice in retail, hospitality, and light industrial environments. POS Plaza stocks the Honeywell Metrologic Eclipse MS5145, a handheld omnidirectional laser scanner suited to general-purpose POS scanning. Ships Australia-wide.
Honeywell Metrologic Eclipse MS5145 USB Barcode Scanner Kit — $159.00 inc GST
The Honeywell Metrologic Eclipse MS5145 is a handheld omnidirectional laser barcode scanner designed for point-of-sale and general retail use. It reads 1D barcodes in any orientation, meaning cashiers do not need to align the barcode precisely with the scan beam — the omnidirectional pattern reads from multiple angles for faster throughput at the checkout. The USB kit includes the scanner and USB cable for plug-and-play connection to any POS terminal, PC, or Mac running Windows, macOS, or Linux. No driver installation is required for standard HID keyboard-wedge mode.
Key features: omnidirectional 1D laser scanning, USB HID plug-and-play, handheld form factor, rugged housing, suitable for retail checkout, hospitality, and general data entry.

Frequently asked questions — Metrologic barcode scanners
Q: Is Metrologic the same as Honeywell?
A: Yes. Honeywell acquired Metrologic Instruments in 2008, and Metrologic products are now manufactured and sold under the Honeywell brand. The Metrologic name is still widely used when searching for legacy models — particularly the Eclipse, Focus, and Orbit series — but the current products are marketed as Honeywell scanners. If you are looking for a replacement or compatible unit for an existing Metrologic scanner, a Honeywell equivalent will typically be the direct successor.
Q: What is an omnidirectional barcode scanner?
A: An omnidirectional scanner projects multiple laser beams in different directions simultaneously, allowing it to read a barcode regardless of its orientation relative to the scanner. This is faster than a single-line scanner, which requires the barcode to be aligned with the beam. Omnidirectional scanners are commonly used at retail checkouts where items are passed quickly across the scanner window. The Metrologic Eclipse MS5145 is a handheld omnidirectional scanner — it can be held and swept across barcodes or placed face-up in a hands-free presentation mode.
