The label is out of reach
High racking, a yard, a container, a bulk store. Reading from the floor rather than from a ladder or a forklift is the whole point, and it is a safety argument as much as a speed one.
The longest reach on this site. Rugged, cordless, reads 1D and 2D, and reads them from a distance rather than at arm's length - which is what the XR in the name is for.
Kit is the scanner, a shielded USB cable, the cradle, its power supply and the DC lead, plus the mains cord. Stocked as XR only; the standard range version is not something we can currently price.
This is the most expensive scanner we sell, and it earns that in exactly one situation - which is worth being honest about before you spend two thousand dollars.

An extended range 1D scanner is the LI3678-ER at $727. If the distant labels are DataMatrix rather than bars, that scanner cannot read them at any range and this one can.
For 2D on a warehouse floor at normal distance, the DS3608 is $950. The extra thousand here buys reach and nothing else.

3 years, return to base — the unit comes back to us for repair or replacement rather than somebody coming out to you. Warranty runs by model rather than by price, so it is worth checking against whatever else you are comparing.
This one is worth saying before anything else on the page. It can be ordered now and it will be held for you, but it does not ship until stock lands in 1 November 2026. If you need a scanner before then, ring us and we will tell you what is on the shelf today instead of selling you a wait.
We do not take money months ahead for something sitting in a container. Tell us what you need and we will put your name against it; the quote and the payment happen when the stock is in sight.
That is genuinely all we need. You get a written quote back with freight worked out to your actual address, because a scanner to Parramatta and one to Port Hedland are not the same delivery and we would rather not pretend otherwise. A new account pays before it ships, and the clock starts when the payment confirms.
If you have a written quote from somebody else on the same part number, we will match it. No haggling required, and no need to pretend you have not been looking.
Tell us what you are scanning and where. Thirty-five years of these conversations says the answer is usually simpler, and cheaper, than it looks from the inside.
