It delivers rapid scanning speeds of up to 100 scans per second and supports a wide depth of field up to 17 inches, ensuring versatile barcode capture. Featuring multi-interface connectivity (USB, RS-232, IBM 468x/9x), a lightweight 5.29 oz design, and Advanced Data Formatting for on-the-fly data customization, this scanner is built to boost productivity and integrate seamlessly with various POS and inventory systems. ## Description This Symbol LS2208 black general purpose handheld 1D bi-directional scanner decodes one-dimensional (1D) barcodes, including GS1 and RSS symbologies. A 650-nm laser produces a single line of light that can scan barcodes from left to right or right to left at speeds up to 100 scans per second. The Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) allows the user to modify the barcode data before transmitting it to the host computer. The scanner has a lightweight design with a scratch-resistant tempered glass exit window. Its wide depth of field range scans from near contact to 17" away. With the on-board multiple interface, the scanner connects to a host (not included) using a USB, RS-232, or IBM 468xx/9x cable, or keyboard wedge (sold separately).

Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.What's in the Box?Symbol LS2208 laser scannerInstructions Review: Working great with our Square POS registers - I am using these with the Square register and they are working great. Fair warning these are 1D scanners, so no scanning of 2D codes like QR codes. I wish the Square terminal supported a wider range of scanners as these are older tech and there are advantages to new tech, but these fill the bill nicely. Review: Good quality and consistent compare to other brandless scanners - One of the better scanner available I bought a few Brandless ones and realize it doesn’t work with most POS system This one works well and fees more well built ## Features - Black handheld corded barcode reader scans and decodes linear 1D barcodes, including GS1 DataBar and RSS codes - Single line of light to scan barcodes from left to right or right to left at up to 100 scans per second - ADF for modifying barcode data before transmitting to host computer - Wide depth of field range scans from near contact to 17" away - Weighs 5.29 oz.; measures 2.5 x 3.34 x 6 inches (L x W x H) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EUN42SO | | Best Sellers Rank | 305,158 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 272 in Barcode Scanners | | Brand | Symbol | | Brand Name | Symbol | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone | | Connectivity technology | USB Cable | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | | Energy Specifications Standard | gs1 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.5D x 6.4W x 15.2H centimetres | | Item Weight | 281 g | | Manufacturer | SYMBOL | | Manufacturer Part Number | LS2208-7AZU0100ZNA | | Model Number | LS2208 | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB Cable | | Operating Voltage | 5 Volts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 8.5D x 6.4W x 15.2H centimetres | | Real Angle of View | 10 Degrees | | Scan Rate | 100 scans per seconde | | Scan rate | 100 scans per seconde | | UPC | 808113036660 608506053751 804067424416 132017876467 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Brand:** Symbol - **Connectivity technology:** USB Cable - **Scan rate:** 100 scans per seconde - **Product dimensions:** 8.5D x 6.4W x 15.2H centimetres - **Operating voltage:** 5 Volts - **Specification met:** gs1 - **Real angle of view:** 10 Degrees - **UPC:** 808113036660 608506053751 804067424416 132017876467 ## Images ![Symbol LS2208 General Purpose Handheld 1D Bi-Directional Laser Barcode Scanner, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CTG1KILyL.jpg) ![Symbol LS2208 General Purpose Handheld 1D Bi-Directional Laser Barcode Scanner, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tbJEfZ4-L.jpg) ![Symbol LS2208 General Purpose Handheld 1D Bi-Directional Laser Barcode Scanner, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CPoA97y4L.jpg) ![Symbol LS2208 General Purpose Handheld 1D Bi-Directional Laser Barcode Scanner, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fvgfXKc0L.jpg) ![Symbol LS2208 General Purpose Handheld 1D Bi-Directional Laser Barcode Scanner, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QRzhdUVUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this include the USB cable?** A: Yes **Q: Will this Scanner work with a windows 10 machine?** A: Windows 7,8,10 -- it just requires a USB port -- any system that uses a USB keyboard or mouse can use this scanner **Q: Is this scanner programmable to allow a tab to be sent to the computer after the bar code is scanned?** A: The scanner comes with a SET-UP sheet. Also, search.yahoo.com for 123Scan from Motorola which allows you to PROGRAM the scanner .... in the programming part, you will need to generate the necessary barcodes to scan to load the scanner .... WASP_39 will need to be installed as a WINDOWS FONT **Q: Will it work with Sqaure register?** A: I'm not sure what Square register is. But I do know it will work with anything that has a USB outlet. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working great with our Square POS registers *by T***E on 16 September 2022* I am using these with the Square register and they are working great.
