About the Zebra MP72 Series Scanner-Scale
The Zebra MP72 Series redefines the checkout experience with unprecedented speed and innovation, purpose-built for high-volume point-of-sale lanes. Its CMOS vector imager and intelligent illumination read all major 1D and 2D barcodes — plus Digimarc and future GS1 Digital Link codes — across every plane, so cashiers and shoppers can make scanning second nature and move through checkout faster than ever before.
Designed as a smarter investment, the MP72 combines a bioptic scanner and integrated scale (30 lb / 15 kg) with sapphire and DLC-coated horizontal glass for long service life. Soft-touch capacitive pads replace breakable buttons, and an optional HD color camera supports vision-based applications such as loss prevention and produce recognition. Innovative self-checkout features — Checkpoint and Sensormatic EAS compatibility, Zebra Weight Guard and a "good decode" LED — drive profitability and reduce inventory shrink.
Available in long, medium and short form factors with flexible host interfaces (USB, RS232, IBM46XX via RS485, SNAPI), the MP72 Series is backed by Zebra DNA management tools including 123Scan, the Scanner SDK and the Scanner Management Service.
