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. Additionally, 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:
The IDAutomation technical staff found this scanner very easy to operate was surprisingly pleased with its light weight. In terms of laser-focusing ability and performance, it easily outperformed other CCD scanners priced below $200. 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 39 barcode font printed at 6 points and Code 128 barcode font printed at 8 points. Overall, this is the best laser barcode scanner at this price.
