Zebra DS8108-SR Handheld bar code reader 1D/2D LED Black

The Zebra DS8108-SR handheld bar code reader delivers high-performance 1D and 2D scanning in a compact, wired device. Designed for retail checkout and other point-of-service environments, the DS8108-SR combines an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s PRZM decoding technology to capture difficult barcodes — including dense, poorly printed, faded, crinkled, distorted, dirty or damaged codes and barcodes displayed on smartphone screens. Its durable LED sensor, wired USB connectivity and lightweight design make it suitable for continuous daily use in busy environments.

Advantages

The DS8108-SR provides rapid and reliable capture of virtually every 1D and 2D barcode thanks to its advanced hardware and decoding algorithms. It supports capture of electronic barcodes on mobile devices and can read problematic labels that many conventional imagers cannot. The scanner also supports capture of multiple barcodes and large-format documents for selective data extraction, and includes manageability tools that allow remote configuration, firmware updates and monitoring of scan performance and battery metrics from Android, iOS and Windows devices.

Suitable for

• Retail checkout and point-of-sale scanning
• Inventory management and stockroom operations
• Document capture where multiple or large barcodes must be read
• Any application requiring reliable 1D/2D barcode capture, including mobile phone displays

How to use

Connect the DS8108-SR to your POS system or computer using the supplied USB cable. Aim the imager at the barcode at typical checkout distance and press the trigger; the device will automatically decode supported 1D and 2D barcodes, including codes shown on mobile device screens. For multiple-barcode capture, position the document or item so all desired barcodes are visible and use the scanning modes supported by your application to select and transmit only the required data. Use the Zebra management tools to configure formatting, interfaces and scanning preferences as needed.

Recommendations

Use the supplied USB cable and a stable host connection for reliable power and data transfer. Keep the scanner window clean and free of scratches to maintain optimal read performance. Use Zebra’s configuration tools to stage devices, apply a single configuration barcode for settings, and deploy firmware updates to all devices centrally to ensure consistent operation across locations.
