Scans 1D, 2D and PDF417 barcodes on paper, mobile phones and computer displays

The Motorola DS9208 general purpose presentation scanner delivers the blazing speed typical of laser scanners on both 1D and 2D barcodes, accommodating 2D barcodes without sacrificing scanning quality or performance. Users never need to take time to align the barcode with the scanner or pause between scans. Since the DS9208 can scan barcodes printed on paper labels or on mobile phone displays, users can drive revenue by attracting the millions of customers who are using their cell phones to better manage their lives. Retailers can accommodate customers who download mobile coupons, mobile loyalty cards and more. Quick service restaurants can accept mobile coupons at the register. Hotels can allow guests to use electronic loyalty cards stored on their cell phones, eliminating the need to carry physical cards. And since theaters, theme parks and stadiums can scan mobile tickets as easily as a paper ticket, they can offer customers an added convenience: paperless ticketing.

BarcodesInc Motorola DS9208 Review

The DS9208 is part of the next generation of presentation scanners that are now using 2D imaging engines over the traditional omni-directional lasers used in the past. With an imaging engine you still get a wide read area for faster scans without aiming, but also the added benefit of being able to read any type of code. This makes the DS9208 ideal for POS stations that also want to do age verification for liquor and tobacco sales. Due to its speed and hands-free operation it also works well in attendance applications since it is easy to get accurate, fast reads of IDs. If cost is a concern the LS9208i offers the same presentation scanning but without the 2D barcode reading. With the expanding use of 2D barcodes and age verification needs, the DS9208 is a drop-in upgrade for older omni-directional laser scanners.

Retail Barcode Scanning

Comments about Motorola DS9208-SR4NNU21Z:

We have integrated the DS9208 in our systems since it replaced it's earlier model LS9203. The unit is reliable, but physically large and bulky. It scans quickly and is motion activated. The unit is connected by a RJ45 connector on the rear of the unit by a well-built, but stiff cable, making it difficult to position the unit on a desktop. It would have been nice to have some sort of mounting adaptor to mount the scanner on a terminal, to save desktop space. The unit would have been nicer if physically smaller and integrate-able onto a terminal by a clever mounting system.

Best Uses

Comments about Motorola DS9208-SR00004NNWW:

Used for business application, attached to Windows 8 tablet. Plugged directly into USB port, opened Notepad and scanned barcodes. All 1D and 2D bar codes directly displayed in notepad. Inserts decoded text any place windows cursor is set to, including Browser and all apps such as email. Only fails to quickly scan 2D bar codes from glossy magazines, especially if they are not square or if they are too small or if they are in certain colors. However, I was able to eventually get a scan even from these codes by playing with angle and distance from scanner window. Scans photos of 1D and 2D bar codes that are taken on iPhone, directly off display, even if photos are tiny. Scans zoomed photos of bar codes also. 360 degree holding angle for smart phone. Note: The smaller the bar code, the closer the scanner must be held.
