Intermec reaches new heights with the Sabre 1553 Extra Long-Range (XLR) scanner. Able to scan a 100 mil (2.54mm) bar code from as far away as 35 feet, the 1553 XLR offers more than any other long range Intermec product. Intermec’s 1553 XLR scanner has far reaching performance. Its dual-diode laser engine lets you scan as close as 4 inches (10.2 cm.) to as far as 35 feet (10.7 meters) from a bar code using a single scanner.
