How does Zebra LI2208 differ from Zebra DS2208?
Zebra LI2208 reads linear 1D barcodes, while Zebra DS2208 uses a 640x480-pixel array imager and supports both 1D and 2D codes. Both models are corded. LI2208 suits workflows based on linear barcodes, while DS2208 is required for QR, Data Matrix, and other two-dimensional codes.
Where is Zebra LI2208 used?
Zebra LI2208 is used at retail checkout counters, pharmacies, warehouses, and inventory workstations where 1D barcodes are scanned regularly. It reads codes printed on paper labels and linear barcodes displayed on phones, tablets, and computer screens.
What is it used with?
Zebra LI2208 can be used at a checkout or inventory workstation with the Zebra GK420D label printer, Bixolon SRP 330II receipt printer, and Maken CX 330B cash drawer. The label printer produces product labels, the scanner reads barcodes, while the receipt printer and cash drawer perform their respective checkout operations.
Questions and answers
Does Zebra LI2208 scan QR codes?
Zebra LI2208 reads 1D barcodes. QR, Data Matrix, and other 2D codes require a two-dimensional imager such as Zebra DS2208.
Can Zebra LI2208 read barcodes from screens?
Zebra LI2208 reads linear barcodes from paper and electronic displays on phones, tablets, and computers.
Does Zebra LI2208 require a separate USB driver?
In standard USB Keyboard HID mode, the scanner operates as an input device. Zebra provides 123Scan and programming barcodes for configuration changes.

Zebra LI2208 sends scanned data to a connected host. The official specification does not list onboard memory for autonomous batch barcode collection.
How do you choose a barcode scanner?
Barcode type is the primary criterion when choosing a scanner. Zebra LI2208 suits 1D barcodes and a corded workstation. QR, Data Matrix, and other 2D codes require a two-dimensional model such as Zebra DS2208. Choose a wireless scanner when the operator must work away from the host, and verify the required interface and environmental protection level.
