Compact and space-saving on the counter

Effortless Scanning to Keep Lines Moving

Scan with confidence with clear visual guides
Bright green indicator lines on the scan window provide clear visual guidance, taking the guesswork out of positioning items for fast, accurate scanning.

Faster checkouts with less effort
With a field of view up to 80% larger than competitive models, the SP20 Series captures barcodes as they approach the window—speeding transactions and eliminating the need to hunt for a “sweet spot.”

Read every barcode every time

Industry-leading decoding performance
With Zebra’s industry-leading scanning technology, the SP20 Series reads everything from damaged, poorly printed, and low contrast barcodes to mobile coupons with ease, ensuring smooth, efficient transactions.

Future-ready scanning for GS1 Digital Link
The SP20 Series is fully compatible with GS1 Digital Link standards and features a large field of view that easily captures both the 1D UPC barcode and 2D Digital Link code on product packaging. With Zebra’s 123Scan tool, scanners can be configured for GS1 Digital Link in less than a minute—enabling anything from minimal disruption to full adoption with access to richer product data like expiration dates, recalls, ingredients, and traceability.

Eye-friendly illumination provides a better user experience
The SP20 Series uses recessed, deep-red LEDs that are gentle on the eyes and safe for customer-facing environments. To reduce visual distractions in busy checkout areas, the illumination automatically turns off between scans, providing a comfortable user experience.

Built to Last. Easy to Manage

Engineered for demanding environments
The SP20 Series is designed to perform in high-traffic settings like checkouts and self-service stations. Its IP52 sealing and elevated electronics safeguard against dust and the everyday spills common on QSR and convenience store counters. With the durability to withstand drops of up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) onto concrete, the SP20 Series keeps your operations running smoothly, while lowering downtime and replacement expenses.

Superior reliability
The SP20 Series is backed by a 3-year warranty. Since Zebra data capture products are proven to have less than 0.5% failure rates, you can be confident in the long-term reliability of your scanner.

An OEM-ready version for advanced kiosk and embedded applications
Building a self-service kiosk or custom enclosure? The SM20 Series OEM Scan Module delivers the same dependable performance as the SP20 Series, with unbranded housing and support from Zebra’s dedicated OEM team to help you design, build, and deploy reliable solutions with confidence.

Easy, no-cost management solutions
