The Ergotron 97-815 Scanner Shelf is a monitor-mounted accessory designed to position a compatible barcode scanner conveniently beside a display. Its VESA mounting bracket attaches to supported monitor mounting patterns, while the shelf provides a universal interface for securing a compatible scanner base.
Designed for point-of-sale stations, healthcare workspaces, and other professional environments, this accessory helps keep scanning equipment within easy reach without requiring a separate desktop stand. Integrated cable management helps organize the scanner base's power cord, and the mounting design allows the display to retain its normal movement when correctly installed.

- Convenient scanner positioning: Places a compatible barcode scanner beside the monitor for quick access during everyday workflows.

Suitable Applications
The Ergotron 97-815 is useful for workstation layouts where barcode scanning is part of the regular workflow. Examples include retail checkout counters, inventory stations, healthcare work areas, and other professional environments that use compatible displays and barcode scanners.
By attaching the shelf to the monitor's VESA mounting interface, users can keep the scanner close to the screen while preserving valuable desk space. Actual compatibility depends on the monitor dimensions, VESA pattern, scanner base, and supporting monitor mount.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, verify the monitor's VESA hole pattern and overall width, and confirm that your scanner base fits the shelf's universal interface. The scanner and scanner base are sold separately. Include the monitor, bracket, scanner base, and scanner when checking the total load against the capacity of your monitor arm or mounting system. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and use the included rotation-lockout hardware as specified.
