Excellent Performance and Superior Ergonomics at an Affordable Price

At the high end of Symbol's "Smart Line" of ergonomically designed hand-held scanners, the Symbol HotShot™ LS 2208 Scanner Series are the best-value hand-held scanners in their class. HotShot™'s scanning, host connectivity, and software feature set is ideal for a wide range of specialty hand-held laser scanning applications, such as video rental establishments, music/CD stores, sporting goods, office automation functions, or as an attachment to a portable terminal for inventory and/or mobile applications.

Continuing the Symbol tradition of award-winning design, the HotShot™ scanner is comfortable and easy to use, even for extended time periods. Weighing less than six ounces/168 gm, the HotShot™'s optimal handle size and soft-touch trigger minimize operator fatigue and boost productivity. Backed by the trusted Symbol name, HotShot™ offers the same high quality and consistent reliability that users have relied on for over 20 years.

Ergonomic "aim-and-shoot" design is intuitive to use and minimizes operator training.

HotShot™'s excellent scanning range and large "sweet spot" reads UPC/EAN bar codes from contact to 11 inches/27.8 cm, and 5 mil high-density bar codes from 0.5"/1.3 cm to 2.5"/6.4 cm.

The heart of the HotShot™ Scanner is Symbol's acclaimed SE 1200 Series Scan Engine. Advanced bar code reading capability includes a variety of bar code sizes, and even poorly printed and low-contrast symbols.

Symbol's patented Mylar™ scan element eliminates wear providing years of dependable performance, and uses less power, extending battery life in portable applications.

In addition to the onboard RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge interfaces, Symbol's exclusive Synapse™ "Smart Cable" offers connectivity to virtually any host type by a simple cable change.

HotShot™'s gold-coated optics increase first-pass read rates in a variety of lighting conditions.

Protective elastometric rubber overmolds absorb impact, provide easy pickup and prevent the HotShot™ from sliding off the counter, allowing for years of durable and reliable scanning service.

Optional Hands-Free Stand is available for fixed-mount scanning of smaller items, especially useful at the point of sale.
