Zebra LS2208 Barcode Scanner Setup
-
This setup guide will assist you in getting your Zebra LS2208 to work in Savance Enterprise using a CDC Virtual Com Port or serial connection. Simply follow along and scan the barcodes on your monitor's screen when required. You can also download the Zebra LS2208 Quick Start Guide in PDF format for your reference. It contains setup information, as well as all the different configuration barcodes available for this model.
-
Connect the barcode scanner to a power source. Once powered, you will be able to scan.
-
Next, you will want to set the barcode scanner to factory defaults
-
Now, the barcode scanner needs to be configured to add a carriage return after a scan. This is required in Savance Enterprise. Scan the last 3 barcodes on the PDF to set this.
If you will be using a USB connection, then USB CDC Virtual COM Port drivers are required on the PC or POS terminal. Please download and install the appropriate driver from one of the links below. Here is the official Zebra CDC Driver web page from where these drivers were obtained.
If you are experiencing any trouble with setting the factory defaults, configuring the carriage return, or getting your PC or POS terminal to recognize the barcode scanner, there is an easy-to-use PC-based software tool called 123SCAN² Scanner Configuration Utility that can further assist you with this setup. You may need to upgrade the device's firmware as well, which this tool will allow you to do. Download and install the appropriate version, if necessary.
-
Next, open the Window’s device manager when scanning so you can if it is connected or not. When you are done you should see something like this below.
-
Once you do, go into Savance, under Settings > General Settings.
-
Go to the Comms tab
-
Next set the COM Port to match.
-
After this, you should see ‘Connect’ at the bottom of the screen.
- NOTE: If you don’t ‘Connected’ right away log out of Savance and then come back in. The device manager must see it so Savance can see it.
