Major Increase In Zebra Long Range Scanning
By: POSGuys - 2/27/2017
Zebra's new DS3678 extended-range, ultra-rugged industrial scanner builds on the former Zebra (Symbol) DS3578 extended range industrial scanner by dramatically increasing the scan range. Not only can the DS3678-ER scan from 70 feet away (and we tested the scan range at over 100 feet), but it can scan from as close as a foot away, much closer than the DS3578-ER. See our comparison video below:

Epson TM-U220 Impact Receipt Printer
By: POSGuys - 11/30/2016
Although the Epson TM-U220 is not a new receipt printer, it remains an industry leader among impact printers. We receive many questions about this printer, along with questions about the difference between thermal and impact printers, so we thought it was time to update our review of the TM-U220. The TM-U220 is an impact printer, also known as a kitchen printer. Instead of using the heat sensitive paper that a thermal printer uses, an impact printer uses ribbon to print on paper. The use of ribbon makes impact printers suited for kitchens for two reasons: the paper is not heat sensitive, meani...

Symbol LS2208 now Zebra LS2208
By: POSGuys - 3/21/2016
Symbol LS2208 now the Zebra LS2208 The Zebra LS2208 is the new name for one of the best selling barcode scanners of all time with over 5 million units sold. It was originally the Symbol LS2208 and part of Symbol Solutions before they became Motorola Solutions which eventually was bought out by Zebra Technologies. What made the LS2208 so good was its compact form factor, double trigger, and easy compatibility. When the 2208 was created, there was a lot of confusion on what interface to use, serial scanners, ps2 keyboard wedge interfaces, and synapse were all used in the point of sale and au...

By: POSGuys - 1/18/2016
We recently created a video where POSGuy Travis raved about the merits of the Symbol DS4308 2D barcode scanner. It got me wondering, what exactly are the differences between the DS4208 and the DS4308? This is POSGal Camille, I reviewed the older DS4208 four years ago. Check out the two videos below or continue reading to get to the meat of the article. TLDR! (The too long didn't read version for the busy entrepreneur.) The DS4308 is better than the DS4208 because it scans from greater distance, usually has a similar price, and has generally better tech specs. If you are thinking of buyi...
