Zebra SP72-H Horizontal Counter Scanner (SP7208-SH00004SSWW)

The Zebra SP72-H is a horizontal single-plane in-counter scanner for fast manned and self-service checkouts – a zero-footprint 2D imager that sits flush with the counter top and is a drop-in replacement for popular legacy in-counter installations. Its 2.3-megapixel sensor with Zebra PRZM Intelligent Imaging captures virtually every 1D, 2D and Digimarc barcode – on paper labels and on phone screens – as items are swiped across the scan window, and the scanner is backed by a 3-year (36-month) Zebra warranty. This version, SP7208-SH00004SSWW, is the premium SP7208 model – multi-interface (USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge, IBM 46xx) with an AUX port for a handheld scanner, with integrated Sensormatic EAS deactivation and a sapphire glass scan window; it is supplied without an interface cable – please order the cable for your POS separately.

Key Features

• Swipe and go – swipe speeds of up to 305 cm/s (13 mil UPC) and a large 54° × 35.5° reading area capture barcodes as quickly as they are presented, so cashiers and self-checkout users rarely need to position an item.
• PRZM Intelligent Imaging – a 2.3-megapixel sensor reads virtually any 1D, 2D and Digimarc barcode, on paper or on mobile screens, including poorly printed, damaged, crinkled and faded codes; offset illumination handles reflective barcodes on glass bottles, phones and cellophane.
• Integrated Sensormatic EAS deactivation with interlock – the security tag is deactivated only when the barcode is scanned, which speeds up checkout and eliminates sweethearting and other forms of shrink.
• Zero-footprint in-counter design – the SP72-H (15.2 × 15.2 cm) sits flush with the counter top, so items simply slide across the scan window and the counter stays free; it is a drop-in replacement for popular legacy in-counter scanners (159 mm square cut-out, with the optional bucket mount BRKT-BM0072-00).
• Sapphire or DLC glass – choose sapphire glass for maximum scratch resistance in busy lanes, or diamond-like coated (DLC) glass as the durable, budget-friendly option; if the glass platter is ever damaged, it can be swapped in seconds (MISC-SG0072 / MISC-DG0072).
• Shrink prevention built in – Non-Decode Event alerts flag items that pass the scanner without a successful scan, and upward-facing good-decode LEDs are visible to attendants and overhead video systems.
• Eye-friendly illumination and custom tones – the recessed deep red LEDs light up only when an item is in the scan zone (adjustable down to off), and the speaker plays a classic beep, melodic tones or your own custom sounds.
• Multi-interface, AUX port and external speaker port – connects via USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge or IBM 46xx (RS485) with auto-host-detect Zebra cables; the AUX port lets you add a handheld scanner for large or heavy items (an AUX scanner requires the external 12 V power supply PWR-BGA12V50W0WW with DC line cord CBL-DC-376A1-01), and a 2-pin port connects a second, external speaker.
• Durable and spill-resistant – IP52 sealing protects the scanner against dust and spills at the checkout.
• Zebra DataCapture DNA – set up scanners with 123Scan, convert barcode types with selectable label identifiers, manage them remotely with Scanner Management Service (SMS), stream data with IoT Connector and track scanner health with Remote Diagnostics; 36-month Zebra warranty.

Ideal Applications

• Supermarkets and grocery stores – fast manned checkout lanes with the scanner built into the counter
• Self-checkout lanes – a flush scan window that shoppers simply slide items across
• Convenience stores, pharmacies and specialty retail – space-saving in-counter scanning of paper and mobile barcodes
• Replacing legacy in-counter scanners – drops into the familiar 159 mm square counter opening
• Stores using Checkpoint or Sensormatic EAS – barcode scanning and tag deactivation in a single pass

Then pick the EAS version that matches your store's security tags – the Checkpoint versions include the CBL-CE0072 EAS cable – and the scan glass: sapphire for maximum scratch resistance or DLC as the cost-effective option.
