Best-in-Class Performance, Innovation and Manageability
When your business demands the very best in performance, workforce productivity and customer service, the Zebra DS8100 Series handheld imagers deliver unprecedented performance. An 800 MHz microprocessor, a 1280 x 960 pixel megapixel sensor and PRZM intelligent imaging technology capture virtually any 1D or 2D barcode instantly — even damaged, dirty or poorly printed codes — while a 617 nm circular amber aiming pattern and a working range of up to 24.0 in./61.0 cm keep operators fast and accurate at the point of sale.
The DS8100 Series brings innovation beyond barcodes: Digimarc digital watermark support, full document and image capture, and Multi-Code Data Formatting that processes several barcodes in a single trigger pull. The cordless DS8178 pairs over Bluetooth 4.0 with BLE and is powered by either a 2,500 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery (up to 65,000 scans) or the PowerCap super-capacitor for rapid 90-second top-ups. With an IP52 rating, a 6.0 ft./1.8 m drop spec and unmatched manageability through Zebra's DataCapture DNA tool suite (123Scan, the Scanner SDK and Scanner Management Service), the DS8100 Series is built to perform shift after shift.
