Zebra LS2208 1D Barcode Scanner (LS2208-1AZU0100ZR)

The Zebra LS2208 (formerly Symbol LS2208) is Zebra's best-selling corded 1D laser barcode scanner – a fast, lightweight and durable handheld for checkouts, libraries, offices and warehouses. It reads all common 1D (linear) barcodes from contact up to 43 cm at 100 scans per second, connects to USB, RS232, keyboard wedge and IBM 46xx hosts with the matching cable, and is backed by a 5-year (60-month) Zebra warranty. 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, LS2208-1AZU0100ZR, comes in light grey (Cash Register White) and is supplied with a USB cable, ready to plug in and scan.

Key Features

• Fast 1D laser scanning – 100 scans per second and a bright 650 nm laser line read all common 1D barcodes (EAN/UPC, Code 128, GS1-128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, GS1 DataBar and more) at the first attempt.
• Wide working range – from contact up to 43 cm on standard EAN/UPC (13 mil) barcodes and up to 76 cm on large 40 mil codes; also reads codes with low (20%) print contrast.
• 1D only – please check your barcodes – the LS2208 reads linear barcodes printed on paper labels, packaging and documents. It does not read QR codes, Data Matrix or other 2D codes, nor barcodes shown on phone screens; for those, choose the Zebra DS2208 2D scanner.
• Universal interfaces – one scanner for USB, RS232, keyboard wedge (KBW) and IBM 468x/469x hosts – just change the cable. Plug and play; Zebra's universal cables also fit the DS2208 and DS4608 scanners.
• Handheld or hands-free – placed in the optional Intellistand, the scanner switches to hands-free presentation scanning automatically.
• Built for all-day use – patented single-board construction, a frictionless liquid polymer scan element and a scratch-resistant tempered glass exit window; withstands repeated 1.5 m drops to concrete and comes with a 60-month Zebra warranty.
• Ergonomic and lightweight – just 150 g with a well-balanced shape that reduces user fatigue; intuitive to use with little or no training.
• Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) – modify data before it is sent to the host and avoid costly software changes; configure with the free 123Scan utility.

Ideal Applications

• Retail and grocery checkouts – EAN/UPC product barcodes on packaging and labels
• Libraries, schools and book lending
• Offices and service desks – documents, files and asset tags
• Warehousing and light logistics – receiving, picking and stock counts with printed 1D labels
• Light manufacturing – work orders and component labels

Technical Specifications

Not sure which version you need? If you already have a Zebra LS2208, DS2208 or DS4608 cable at the checkout, the scanner-only version is the most economical choice; for a new workstation, pick a USB kit – with the Intellistand if you also want hands-free scanning. The KBW kit is only for older PCs and POS systems with a PS/2 keyboard port. Need to read QR codes or barcodes on phone screens? Choose a 2D scanner such as the Zebra DS2208.
