Superior Performance, Advanced Features Symbol LS 5700 and LS 5800 Mini-Slot Scanners

Symbol Technologies, the world leader in barcode data management technology, developed the Symbol LS 5700 and the Symbol LS 5800 specifically for the demanding requirements of point-of-sale scanning. The Symbol LS 5700 delivers maximum performance for on-counter applications, while the Symbol LS 5800 model is ideal for in-counter installation. Both models offer more advanced features than comparably priced hands-free scanners:

Symbol Technologies introduces the LS 5700 and the LS 5800 as the new standard in hands-free point-of-sale retail laser scanning. These omni-directional mini-slot scanners feature broad yet dense scan fields for unsurpassed throughput and a high first-pass read rate. The expanded working range and aggressive performance combine for fast, accurate scanning with minimal operator effort. The result is quicker, more productive, check-out operations and happier customers.

The in-counter Symbol LS 5800 has improved optics for reading barcodes presented perpendicular or at an angle to the scan window. Cashiers save both time and money by simply passing merchandise over the countertop: the need to tilt bottles, cans or other items toward the scanner is virtually eliminated. Window options are available to meet the needs of your grocery, soft goods, low-volume or high-capacity retail environment. What's more, the LS 5800's thin 3" (7.6 cm) profile is perfect for seated operations requiring added leg space.

A Profile to Fit Your Profile
The Symbol LS 5700 and the Symbol LS 5800 have been designed with your valuable check-out space in mind: both models boast the smallest foot-print possible, while maintaining large scan fields for the greatest ease of use.

The LS 5700's scan field has been optimized for high-speed "swipe" scanning over the broadest possible working range - from contact to 8" (20 cm). It reads items flush to the counter, eliminating the need to lift merchandise, reducing fatigue and speeding the check-out process. Only 3.1" (7.9 cm) deep, the LS 5700 requires minimum space while delivering maximum scanning performance.
