Zebra LS1203 Handheld Barcode Scanner 1D, 100 scans/sec, USB, RS232, KBW, >1m

SKU: 

LS1203-1AZK0100SR

Most handheld scanners slow checkout down with setup and repeated rescans, but the Zebra QuickScan 1D Corded is built for fast, reliable 1D laser reading at 100 scans per second. Designed for retail and commercial use, it includes a KBW interface cable and stand, helping streamline point-of-sale tasks and reduce manual entry errors.

The Zebra LS1203 (marketed as Zebra QuickScan models) is a compact, corded 1D laser barcode scanner engineered for high-throughput retail and commercial point-of-sale environments. Designed to capture common linear barcodes with consistent speed and accuracy, the LS1203 family delivers up to 100 scans per second using a 650 nm laser engine and a practical read range exceeding 1 m. Available in multiple kit configurations, it supports USB, RS232 and PS/2/KBW connections and typically ships with cables and a counter stand for rapid deployment. Its lightweight handheld form, audible/visible read feedback and commercial-grade durability help reduce checkout times, minimize entry errors and simplify multi-station rollouts.

Key Features

  • Fast 1D capture: Up to 100 scans per second for responsive barcode reading that accelerates checkout and inventory tasks.
  • Laser-based reliability: Single-line laser scan engine (650 nm) provides consistent performance on common linear symbologies.
  • Flexible connectivity: Wired interfaces including USB, RS232 and PS/2/KBW ensure broad POS and system compatibility.
  • Deployment-ready kits: Many variants include necessary accessories such as KBW/RS232/USB cables, power supply and a stand to simplify installation.
  • Commercial durability: Designed for everyday use with ingress protection (IP40) and drop resistance for robust operation at the counter.
