Zebra DS8208 Standard Range Corded Handheld Barcode Scanner

Keep checkout lines moving and customers satisfied with a scanner that captures any barcode in one quick motion. The DS8208 combines an exclusive 2 MP sensor with PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology to deliver faster, more accurate scanning across traditional 1D UPC codes and emerging 2D Digital Link codes on product packaging. A wide scanning range, up to 711 mm (28 in) for UPC codes and 483 mm (19 in) for QR codes, makes it easy to capture hard-to-reach items at the bottom of shopping carts without awkward repositioning. Intelligent illumination activates only when needed in presentation mode, reducing power consumption while creating a more comfortable experience for cashiers and customers alike.

Built to withstand the demands of busy retail environments, this scanner survives 1.8 m (6 ft) drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles while maintaining consistent performance shift after shift. The deeply recessed scan window resists smudges and scratches, and IP52 sealing keeps out dust and spills. A customizable multi-function button streamlines workflows by letting you assign it to frequently used tasks like switching between POS and returns applications. With support for over 90 international keyboards, USB and RS232 connectivity, optional EAS support, optional driver’s license parsing, and Zebra DNA software tools for effortless deployment and management, the DS8208 delivers reliable scanning performance that lowers total cost of ownership.

Note: This DS8208 Scanner reads 1D and 2D barcodes, but does not support RFID functionality.
