How to use

Out of the box the DS2278 is pre-configured for common POS interfaces; connect the scanner to your system using the supplied cable and the auto-host detect feature will identify the interface automatically. For the cordless model, pair via Bluetooth following the on-screen instructions or the quick-start guide. To change settings, use Zebra’s 123Scan utility to generate a single programming barcode and scan it with the device to apply custom configurations. Aim the scanner at the barcode and press the trigger (or use point-and-shoot on models configured for auto-sensing) to capture the code.

Recommendations

Use the DS2278 in a standard retail checkout or inventory environment; maintain a clear line of sight between scanner and barcode for best performance, keep the scanner firmware up to date via Zebra tools and charge the cordless unit regularly to ensure the advertised battery availability.
