Features

Getting started with the LS 2208 is fast and simple with 123Scan setup utility. This easy-to-use tool reduces startup time and costs wherever the scanner is used. Plus, the scan element in the LS2208 is based on a liquid injection process that delivers integral shock protection, providing durability that can be counted on. These powerful features reduce downtime and keep maintenance costs to a minimum. The Symbol LS2208 is engineered for nonstop, daily heavy usage and has been tested to withstand multiple 5' drops to concrete. The patented single board construction eliminates a common point of failure, the inter-connection between multiple boards, and the liquid polymer scan element delivers integral shock protection to further ensure reliable operation. Scratch-resistant tempered glass helps preserve barcode scanning accuracy. Integrated multiple interfaces, universal cable compatibility and support for emerging symbologies provide the investment protection.

Lab Test Results:
IDAutomation found this scanner very easy to operate and were surprised at how light it was. It easily outperformed the other CCD scanners that are priced below $200 with its laser focusing ability and performance. The laser scanning beam is very small and bright, which makes it easy to scan small barcodes. This scanner dependably and easily read IDAutomation's Code 3 of 9 barcode font printed at 6 points and Code 128 barcode font printed at 8 points. Overall, this is the best laser scanner at this price.
