Zebra DS3678-HP Handheld bar code reader 1D/2D Laser Black, Green

The Zebra DS3678-HP handheld bar code reader is an ultra‑rugged 1D/2D scanner designed for demanding environments such as warehouses and manufacturing floors. Available as a cordless model with a 3100 mAh Lithium‑Ion battery and wireless range up to 100 m, it also supports wired connections (USB, RS‑232). IP67 dust and water resistance, shock protection and an IP65‑sealed cradle for cordless use provide robust protection.
