Zebra ds2208 2D barcode scanner

Zebra DS2208 2D Corded Barcode Scanner

Product Overview

The Zebra DS2208 is a corded handheld imager in the DS2200 Series designed for point of sale, retail, hospitality and logistics applications. It reads 1D and 2D barcodes and uses PRZM Intelligent Imaging to improve decoding performance on poor-quality codes. Omni-directional scanning provides point-and-shoot operation without requiring precise barcode alignment.

Key Features

• 1D and 2D decoding: supports QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, UPC/EAN and many other symbologies.
• PRZM Intelligent Imaging: Zebra software decode algorithms improve performance on poor-quality barcodes.
• Omni-directional scanning: no need to align the imager with the barcode.
• Ready to use: default settings are optimized for most scanning applications, with 123Scan available for configuration.
• Multiple host interfaces: USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge and TGCS (IBM) 46XX over RS485.
• User indicators: Direct Decode Indicator, good-decode LEDs, rear-view LEDs and adjustable beeper.
• Daily-use durability: IP52 sealing and multiple 1.5 m drops to concrete.
