Zebra DS8178 – Barcode Scanner – Cordless – 2D – Scanner Only

The ultimate in performance, innovation and manageability

Checkout is the last chance to leave your shoppers with a good impression - and the quality of the checkout experience is heavily dependent upon the performance of the scanner you choose. If cashiers need to scan barcodes multiple times or enter unreadable barcodes manually, your checkout lanes can back up quickly, resulting in long lines, long wait times and cashiers that need to focus on ringing up merchandise as quickly as possible instead of focusing on shoppers to provide a better checkout experience. Now, you can give every shopper the ultimate last impression with the DS8100 Series handheld imager. The DS8100 Series rises above conventional imagers, delivering unprecedented scanning performance on 1D and 2D barcodes, innovative productivity enhancing tools, including swappable power sources - a PowerPrecision+ battery or PowerCapTM capacitor1 - plus unrivaled manageability tools to keep your scanners up, running and in the hands of your cashiers. Keep checkout lines moving and cashiers free to deliver a more personal checkout experience with the DS8100 Series - because when it comes to the checkout experience, only the best will do.

Unprecedented Performance

Unparalleled performance on virtually every barcode in any condition

Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra's exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology. With this unique combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100 Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes - including dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.

Superior scan range

A scanning range up to 24 in./61 cm, a high resolution imaging sensor and a bright "aiming spot" improve checkout speed. Now, cashiers in busy checkout environments can easily scan items in a customer's shopping cart - without leaving the cash-wrap.

Innovation beyond the barcode

Swappable power options reduce your investment risk

Two interchangeable power options are available to power your devices: a PowerPrecision+ battery or a PowerCap capacitor. You can swap power options at any time on all models, right in your facility - no need to purchase separate battery-free and battery powered devices. And managing your power sources is easy. Since the PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap capacitor can report their model and serial numbers, you'll always know which power source is in each scanner.

On a single charge, the advanced PowerPrecision+ battery provides over three around-the-clock days of continuous scanning, plus a wealth of metrics for better battery management.

The PowerCap capacitor is ideal when the scanner can always be inserted into a charging cradle when not in use. The largest capacitor in its category, the superior PowerCap offers 2,000 scans on a full charge and 100 scans after as little as 35 seconds in the cradle - both metrics are four times the competition.

Dedicated Power Charge Gauge
