If you already run them
A counter with six LS2208s on it should buy a seventh. One model, one spare, one set of configuration barcodes, and staff who already know exactly how it behaves.
Corded handheld · 1D laser
Zebra LS2208
The laser that has been on Australian counters for twenty years. Still made, still sold, still supported, and still the right answer if you are replacing one of a fleet you already run.
The scanner in that photograph is Symbol-branded, which is not a mistake. This model has outlasted two changes of owner - Symbol became Motorola in 2007 and Zebra in 2014, and the LS2208 is still here.
Why this one
Buy it to match, not to start.
We will happily sell you one. But if this is a first scanner rather than a replacement, the middle paragraph is the one to read.

If you are starting fresh
The LI2208 is the same $99 with nothing moving inside it, and the DS2208 is $149 and reads phone screens. Both are newer designs and either is the better buy.
03
What it will never do
No 2D codes, and nothing off a screen. That is the nature of a laser rather than a limitation of this one, and no configuration barcode changes it.
Twenty years in production is the point, not the pitch. A scanner still being made after that long is one you can still get cables and spares for, and one whose configuration barcodes have not moved. That is worth a great deal in an existing fleet and nothing at all on a new counter.

Warranty
5 years, return to base — the unit comes back to us for repair or replacement rather than somebody coming out to you. Warranty runs by model rather than by price, so it is worth checking against whatever else you are comparing.
01
In stock in Australia, and it ships straight to you
Every scanner on this site is held in an Australian warehouse rather than on a shelf in Sydney, and it goes from there to your door without stopping at our office. That saves a leg of freight and a day. Paid before 2pm on a business day and it generally leaves the same day.
02
Stock is first come, first served
Which is the honest half of the sentence above. A run on one model can mean a wait, and you will hear that from us when you ask rather than after you have paid.
03
Tell us the part number and how many
That is genuinely all we need. You get a written quote back with freight worked out to your actual address, because a scanner to Parramatta and one to Port Hedland are not the same delivery and we would rather not pretend otherwise. A new account pays before it ships, and the clock starts when the payment confirms.
04
Been comparing online? Send us the quote
If you have a written quote from somebody else on the same part number, we will match it. No haggling required, and no need to pretend you have not been looking.

Not sure this is the right one?
Tell us what you are scanning and where. Thirty-five years of these conversations says the answer is usually simpler, and cheaper, than it looks from the inside.
