Key Features
- Reads 1D and 2D barcodes – including QR codes, Data Matrix and PDF417, from paper labels and from phone or tablet screens (e-coupons, loyalty cards, mobile tickets).
- PRZM intelligent imaging – Zebra's decode algorithms capture damaged, poorly printed and low-contrast barcodes at the first attempt.
- Point-and-shoot, omnidirectional scanning – no need to line up the barcode with the scanner; a familiar aim line shows the ideal scanning distance.
- Wide working range – from 1.23 cm up to 36.8 cm, with motion tolerance of up to 13 cm/s.
- Direct Decode Indicator – the illumination on the barcode flashes on a good read, so staff know instantly that the scan worked, even in a noisy store.
- Handheld or hands-free – place the scanner in its stand and it switches to hands-free presentation mode automatically, with no settings to change.
- Plug and play – pre-configured out of the box; auto-host detect cables identify USB, RS232 or keyboard wedge automatically. Compatible with existing Zebra LS2208 cables. Supports more than 90 international keyboards.
