Why the LI2208
The LI2208 is Zebra's corded general-purpose linear imager; Zebra built it on its LS2208 laser scanner, with the same ergonomics. It reads 1D barcodes on printed labels and on phone, tablet and computer screens, out to 78.7 cm for a 13 mil UPC. It does not read QR codes or other 2D codes: for those, look at the DS2208.
Zebra lists 1D barcodes printed on paper labels and shown on the screen of a mobile phone, tablet or computer, such as loyalty cards and mobile coupons. It reads UPC/EAN, Code 128 including GS1-128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, GS1 DataBar and more.
Zebra's sheet lists a 13 mil UPC from 2.5 cm to 78.7 cm and a 26 mil 200% UPC-A from 7.6 cm to 140 cm. High-density codes down to 3 mil are read too, with a 4 mil Code 39 from 10.2 cm to 25.4 cm.
Zebra's auto-host detect cables recognise a USB, RS232, keyboard wedge or IBM RS485 host when plugged in, and the scanner holds over 90 international keyboard layouts. Zebra's 123Scan and Scanner Management Service handle settings and firmware.
Zebra rates the LI2208 for over 100 drops from 1.5 m at room temperature, survival of 1.8 m drops to concrete, 1,000 tumble cycles in a 0.5 m tumbler and IP42 sealing. A single circuit board removes the connectors and ribbon cables that fail most often.
In the optional Gooseneck Intellistand the LI2208 switches to hands-free scanning by itself and back to handheld when lifted out. At 547 scans per second and 63.5 cm per second motion tolerance, codes do not need to be held still.

For buyers in India
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the LI2208. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
The LI2208 reads 1D barcodes only, so it cannot read a UPI QR code or the QR code on a GST e-invoice. If your counter needs those, the DS2208 reads QR codes on paper and on phone screens.
UPC/EAN decoding covers EAN-13 and EAN-8, and Zebra rates a 13 mil UPC from 2.5 cm to 78.7 cm. Cashiers can read pack barcodes held at a normal distance from the counter.
Zebra lists host power or an external supply, at 5 V DC ±10% and under 165 mA while scanning. Its USB default is a USB keyboard (HID), so billing software that accepts typed input takes the scans without a driver.
