The industry’s fastest and most intuitive single-plane scanner—available in horizontal and vertical models
A long wait at the checkout line is the last thing a customer wants. 29% of shoppers have admitted to abandoning a purchase due to long checkout lines.1 Speed up the checkout process, offer convenient self-checkout options and prevent lost sales with the SP72 Series. Available in both horizontal and vertical models, the SP72 Series elevates the checkout experience in grocery, convenience, pharmacy and specialty stores. In an independent study, the SP72 Series outperformed competitors, scanning items up to 40% faster at self-checkout and providing a user experience up to two times more intuitive.2 With innovative features like an optional color camera for vision-based applications, the SP72 Series helps minimize shrink to protect your bottom line. It’s the perfect solution for retailers who need the performance of a multi-plane scanner, but prefer the compact size, easy installation and value of a single-plane scanner.
Make Every Checkout Faster With Top-Scoring Performance
Up to 40% Faster Than Competitive Models at Self-Checkout
The SP72 Series captures barcodes as quickly as they’re presented, speeding customers through checkout with ease. An independent study showed that the SP72 Series scans items up to 40% faster than competitive models at self-checkout.
Up to 44% Larger Scan Area Makes Scanning Easier Than Ever
With a sweet spot that’s up to 44% larger than competing models, the SP72 Series makes scanning second nature. It requires less precision when positioning a barcode, providing a more intuitive, swipe-and-go experience for self-checkout users and allowing cashiers to focus more on customer service.
A Scanning Experience up to 2X More Intuitive Than the Rest
Powered by a high-resolution 2.3 megapixel sensor and Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology, the SP72 Series delivers outstanding performance on virtually any 1D, 2D and Digimarc® barcode — whether damaged, crinkled or faded. Independent tests show the SP72 Series is up to two times more effective than competitors at scanning various barcode types and sizes2, ensuring a hassle-free, intuitive experience for any item or barcode.
Leads the Competition in 2D and Mobile Barcode Performance
Prepare your checkout for the growing adoption of both 2D and mobile barcodes. The SP72 Series outpaces the competition, scanning common 2D DataMatrix barcodes up to 54% faster2 and mobile phone barcodes up to 50% faster at self-checkout.
Create the Perfect Checkout Solution With Unmatched Versatility
With both vertical and horizontal models, the SP72 Series offers the right fit for your installation needs. The compact vertical SP72-V can be placed on a counter or mounted on a wall or table; its flat face design easily fits into self-checkout enclosures. The horizontal SP72-H offers a zero footprint, in-counter design and is a drop-in replacement for popular legacy installations. And you can choose the level of features you need: SP7201 for high-performance scanning or the premium SP7208 that adds advanced features such as a color camera option for vision-based applications like loss prevention.
A Higher ROI for Self-Checkout—Less Shrink
Enable New Business Applications With Vision Solutions
The vertical SP72-V is the first single-plane scanner with a 2.3 MP color camera option.4 The camera provides a large field of view and captures even the smallest details, enabling a wealth of vision-based applications to help minimize shrink and fraud at self-checkout. For example, an application can detect mismatches between the scanned item and its barcode, such as when a cheaper item’s barcode is placed on a more expensive item. Additionally, a live video stream helps deter checkout fraud.
Upward-Facing “Good Decode” LEDs Work With Video-Based Loss Prevention Systems
Both the vertical SP72-V and horizontal SP72-H have an upward-facing “good decode” LED that can be easily seen by self-checkout attendants and overhead cameras. Your video-based loss prevention system can track the movement of products across the scan area and confirm a green LED for a successful scan. Reduce Shrink With Optional EAS Support With Interlock
With support for Checkpoint and Sensormatic electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems, the SP72 Series can deactivate the EAS tag when the item is scanned. This not only speeds up checkout, but also eliminates the risk of “sweethearting” and other forms of shrink as the barcode must be scanned to deactivate the EAS tag.
Elevate the Checkout Experience
Eye-Friendly Intelligent Illumination Self-checkout users in independent tests found the SP72 Series up to 72% more comfortable than comparable scanners.2 Its deep red recessed illumination activates only when an item is in the scan zone, minimizing eye strain for cashiers and shoppers. You can also adjust the brightness, from low to off, to further reduce discomfort.
Go Beyond the Beep With Custom Feedback Tones
The SP72 Series offers a variety of audible feedback options via the built-in or external speaker.5 Select a traditional beep tone, choose from our library of digital and melodic sounds, or add your own custom sound to reflect your brand and customer experience.
Increase Flexibility With Handheld Scanning
An auxiliary port lets you add a handheld scanner so users can easily scan large or heavy items in the cart.6 Minimize Exceptions With Selectable Label Identifiers
With Zebra’s selectable label identifiers, you can convert one barcode type to another — for example convert a QR code to code 128—to eliminate exceptions and manual data entry that slow down checkout throughput.
Low Cost of Ownership
Reliability on a Day-to-Day Basis
IP52 sealing protects against spills and dust. Unlike competitive models, the vertical SP72-V features elevated electronics, protecting them from inadvertent spills. The horizontal SP72-H can be configured with either Sapphire or Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) glass, meeting your durability needs and budget.
Easy Installation and a Fast Setup
The SP72 Series is USB Certified for worry-free integration. Multiple on-board interfaces ensure compatibility with all popular POS systems and auto-host detect cables simplify installation. The SP72 Series can be powered over standard USB, eliminating the cost and labor associated with adding external power.
Make Data-Driven Decisions Informed by Your Scanners
Do more with your SP72 Series with Zebra’s IoT Connector, a fully automated real-time data collection tool that routes data from your scanners into your preferred IoT endpoint. The result? You can mine the data and get the insights needed to make decisions in real time.
