Introduction
Symbol Technologies Inc., the world leader in hand-held laser scanning now offers 21st
century technology, while maintaining compatibility with today’s existing systems.
The LS 1000 Series of hand-held laser scanners offers the best performance in retail and
light industrial applications. Advanced ergonomic design ensures comfortable use for
extended periods of time.
The LS 1000 series hand-held scanner is based on the Visible Laser Diode (VLD). This
state of the art technology gives the scanner a wider decode zone, greater depth of
field, and a visible scan beam. This model reads color bar codes and symbols printed
on all substrates. See LS 100x Decode Zone .
