Types and Benefits of Zebra Scanners
For any business task that requires a scanner, there is a Zebra Technologies option to get the job done efficiently. Zebra offers dozens of scanners, so you can find the fit for your clients.
Zebra barcode scanners offered by ScanSource include:
Handheld Scanners
Using handheld scanners from Zebra allows employees to capture the data they need in an instant, and sync it with the proper networks to keep all parties informed and running smoothly. Handheld scanners can be used in retail settings to keep track of inventory and determine when to reorder, and can process checkouts anywhere in a store for a faster, more user-friendly experience.
They can be used in a patient's hospital room to monitor medication dosage, or in a warehouse aisle to manage supplies. Manual data-capture processes increase the probability of errors and waste time and resources. Using automated and accurate handheld scanning helps keep processes precise and efficient, while rugged designs can withstand the rigors of demanding environments.

DS2200 Series - Affordability and Simplicity Delivered
2D barcodes have made their way to point-of-sale, appearing on everything from the items shoppers are purchasing to printed and electronic coupons and loyalty cards. 1D scanners cannot capture the new 2D codes, leading to exceptions that slow down the checkout process and frustrate shoppers at that last key personal touchpoint in the store. But with the Zebra DS2200 Series, retailers can scan it all.
The DS2200 Series is an affordable 1D/2D imager that does not compromise performance or features for price. Users can choose the model that best fits their POS needs—the corded DS2208 or the cordless DS2278. The DS2200 Series offers affordability with the deployment, ease of use, and management simplicity businesses require.
Pre-configured and ready to use, right out of the box
Since default settings are optimized for the majority of scanning applications, the DS2200 Series imager is usable the moment it's removed from the box—no configuration required. Just plug the DS2200 Series into a point-of-sale (POS) and the auto-host detect cables will automatically identify the interface and connect the imager, simplifying and reducing setup time. With Zebra's industry-first Scan-to-Connect technology, workers can pair the cordless DS2278 with any Bluetooth-enabled PC, tablet, or smartphone in a single step.
Instant decoding with PRZM intelligent imaging
Only from Zebra, PRZM's software decode algorithms for the DS2200 Series deliver exceptional performance on poor-quality barcodes. The result is first-time, every-time scanning to help workers improve productivity at the checkout counter.
Our unsurpassed scanning range and simplicity
Workers can scan barcodes across a wide range (0.5 in./1.23 cm to 14.5 in./36.8 cm), improving checkout speed and reducing training time. And with omni-directional scanning, users never need to line up the imager and the barcode—unlike 1D scanners.
Easily customize settings with 123Scan
This complementary software tool is so intuitive that even a first-time user can easily set up a DS2200 Series imager. The wizard-driven interface makes it easy to embed all settings into a single programming barcode, enabling configuration of devices with a single scan.
On-the-fly switching between handheld and hands-free scanning
Regardless of whether workers are using the corded DS2208 or the cordless DS2278, workers can simply place the imager in its presentation stand to automatically switch to hands-free mode—no change of settings is required.
Battery designed to last
The long-lasting 2400 mAh Lithium Ion battery in the cordless DS2278 will likely never need to be replaced, reducing total cost of ownership and simplifying everyday management by eliminating the need to purchase and manage a battery pool. Plug the imager directly into the host or any standard wall socket via the Micro USB cable to charge the DS2278 in just an hour. The presentation cradle, which provides hands-free scanning, charges the DS2278 in just four hours.
DS8100 Series - Outstanding Performance, Innovation, and Manageability
Zebra is introducing a new, 2D, general-purpose handheld portfolio that meets the needs of customers, regardless of application or price-point. A new standard in general purpose hand-held imagers has emerged. With the fastest scanning performance in its class, innovative new features to empower workers at the point-of-sale, and Zebra’s exceptional manageability tools, the DS8100 series separates itself from other imagers. It is well-suited for those who place a high value on improving productivity at the point-of-sale, and creating a more satisfying checkout experience for their customers.
Innovative Features of the DS8100 Series Include:
Outstanding performance on virtually every barcode in any condition
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.
Exceptional Scan Range
A scanning range of 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 register.
Power to scan continuously for 24 hours
No matter how busy a store is, with Zebra's exclusive PowerPrecision+ smart battery in the cordless DS8178, workers will have the power they need for the busiest shift. Scanning devices are always available—no need for charging during the business day.
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 imager's field of view, enabling faster checkout and easier self-checkout.
* Available April 2017
Capture multiple barcodes with one press of the scan trigger
Multi-code Data Formatting (MDF) provides the ability to capture multiple barcodes, and transmit only those required in the precise order the application requires.
