Improve operations with affordable advanced data capture
Easy to use, deploy and maintain, Symbol's LS9203 omni-directional presentation scanner gives you a high-value choice for seamlessly integrating advanced data capture into your point-of-sale (POS) environment — at an affordable price. Designed to speed the checkout process for customers — while improving sales tracking and inventory management — Symbol LS9203's high-performance handheld and presentation scanning capability enables your POS employees to work faster and more accurately. And durable construction protects it from the shocks of heavy use, extending the life of your investment.

Reduce costs and streamline POS activity
The Symbol LS9203 helps you lower costs by eliminating the errors inherent with manual, paper-based sales and inventory tracking. You increase profitability by reducing pricing mistakes, minimizing shrinkage and providing better visibility into fundamental business processes. Because the Symbol LS9203 is both a handheld and a presentation scanner, your employees are able to quickly switch between hands-free and handheld mode to scan bar codes easily, maximizing their productivity. You also help reduce injuries, because your employees and customers don't need to lift or maneuver heavy items for scanning. And the durable construction of the Symbol LS9203 means you'll avoid downtime resulting from equipment failure.

Use right out of the box
When you order the Symbol LS9203, you get a kit containing all the cables, setup and operating information you need to get started. In many cases, you simply take the Symbol LS9203 out of the box, plug it in and it works. If customized configuration is required, you're able to quickly and easily program the device by scanning a provided set of programming bar codes. The Symbol LS9203 is designed with multiple on-board interfaces and utilizes Symbol's Universal Cables, providing you with flexible host connectivity and easy migration to new hosts, without requiring that you replace your scanners.

Enhance customer service
The Symbol LS9203 is extremely easy to learn and use, so your employees work more effectively with customers, no matter how long they've been on the job. You enhance service by speeding checkout, which also gives employees more time to spend helping customers. The Symbol LS9203's small footprint leaves you enough space to set up "impulse purchase" displays to encourage additional sales. And, with the capability to more accurately track customer behavior, you improve inventory management and ensure you have in stock the products your customers want when they want them.

Invest in a durable solution
Symbol is known worldwide for producing rugged, high-performance scanning devices. Advances in technology have allowed us to develop a widely affordable, durable scanner meeting our commitment to quality and performance. Built for long life in heavy day-to-day use, the Symbol LS9203 is equipped with internal shock mounts that enable it to withstand multiple drops onto concrete and comes with a stand that gives you more versatility and also extends the life of the scanner.

Eliminate worries with a full suite of services and support
Even the most durable products need a support plan. That's why Symbol covers every aspect of your mobility solution — from network design to ongoing operations — providing unsurpassed breadth and depth of coverage to ensure all of your services and support needs are met.
