DS8100 SERIES

Product Overview

THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE, INNOVATION AND MANAGEABILITY

As a retailer, you know the checkout experience is crucial — it’s the last chance to leave your shoppers with a good impression. The quality of the checkout experience is heavily dependent upon the performance of the scanner you choose. If cashiers need to scan barcodes multiple times or enter unreadable barcodes manually, your checkout lanes can back up quickly, translating into long lines and long wait times.

Cashiers are then forced to focus on ringing up merchandise instead of providing shoppers with a great in-store experience. Now, give every shopper the ultimate last impression with the DS8100 Series handheld imager, only from Zebra.

The DS8100 Series rises above the conventional imagers to deliver unprecedented scanning performance on 1D and 2D barcodes, innovative productivity enhancing tools and unrivaled manageability to keep your checkout lines moving and your cashiers free to deliver a more personal checkout experience.

The DS8100 Series – because when it comes to the checkout experience, only the best will do.

Features and Benefits:

1. Unparalleled Performance on Virtually Every Barcode in Any Condition:
Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor
and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM technology. With this unique combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100 Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes — including dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.”

2. Superior Scan Range
A scanning range up to 24 in./61 cm, a high resolution imaging sensor and a bright “aiming spot” improve checkout speed. Now, cashiers in busy checkout environments can easily scan items in a customer’s shopping cart — without leaving the cash-wrap.

3. Power to Scan Continuously
for 24 Hours No matter how busy your store is, with Zebra’s exclusive PowerPrecision+ smart battery in the cordless DS8178, your workers will always have the power they need for the busiest shift. Your devices are always available — no need for charging during the business day.

4. PRZM Intelligent Imaging
Only from Zebra, PRZM features reset the bar for imaging performance. Poor images are turned into instantly useful images for faster decoding. PRZM then handles some of the processing typically handled in the decoder to reduce power usage, improve battery cycle times and further increase decoding speed.”

5. Support for the Barcode of the Future — Digimarc®*
The DS8100 Series supports Digimarc digital watermark technology, which enables a barcode to be printed repeatedly over all surfaces of a product like wallpaper — yet remain completely invisible to the naked eye. Cashiers no longer need to locate and position a barcode in the field of view of the imager, enabling faster checkout and easier self-checkout.

6. Control Your Scanners from a Smartphone, Tablet or PC
With this easy-to-use application, you can: control your imager’s beeper, vibration and LED to set user alerts; display scanned barcode data; access model and serial number; and access battery statistics and more from Android, iOS and Windows smartphones, tablets and PCs.

7. Easily Manage All of Your Scanners with Powerful Complimentary Tools
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service (SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any DS8100 Series device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user action is required — such as the scanning of a configuration barcode.

8. Easy Application Development
Get everything you need to easily integrate scanning into your business applications with our Scanner Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Windows, Android, iOS and Linux. These SDKs provide documentation, drivers, test utilities and sample source code.”
