SPECIFICATION SHEET
MOTOROLA DS457
Comprehensive data
capture — 1D, 2D, and
DPM codes, driver’s
license parsing, still
images, video and OCR
Diverse series that can
meet any fixed mount
hands-free scanning need
Powerful 624 MHz
processor, fast sensor
shutter speed and
patent pending fast-
pulse illumination
Delivers extraordinary
scanning speed on all bar
codes; increases throughput
and productivity
Tiny footprint
Fits almost anywhere;
enables ‘invisible’ under
the counter installation
Sleek design
Suitable for design
conscious retail stores
and other customer-
facing areas
Mounting accessories
Easily mount wherever
needed — on cash
registers, under
counters and more
Omni-directional scanning
No need to align bar code
and scanner; improves
ergonimics and user comfort
engineering required. And in the event you already
have a Motorola Miniscan deployed today, the
common interface allows you to simply swap scanners
to cost-effectively boost scanning performance
and quality — no re-tooling or redesign of the
installation area are required.
USERS ARE UP AND
RUNNING IN MINUTES
Full omni-directional scanning eliminates the need to
precisely align bar code and imager. A unique aiming
pattern with a bright central dot ensures quick,
accurate scanning — even in the brightest lighting.
The result is a highly intuitive scanning function that
increases worker productivity, virtually eliminating
the need and cost associated with training.
FOUR MODELS TO MEET
ANY APPLICATION NEED
No matter what type of bar codes you need to
capture, there is a model that will meet your needs.
DS457-SR: Combination 1D and 2D bar code
scanning. This standard range model is designed
to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications,
offering the largest working range possible on the
largest variety of bar codes.
DS457-HD: Optimized for comprehensive 2D bar
code capture. We took the DS457-SR Standard
Range model and optimized the focus functionality to
accommodate the very tiny and dense 2D bar codes
frequently found in manufacturing. Electronic
manufacturers can ensure the right part is used at the
right time on the production line. And pharmaceutical
manufacturers can track product as it is produced
and packaged to meet track and trace regulations.
DS457-DL: Combination 1D and 2D bar code
scanning plus driver’s license parsing. We added
driver’s license parsing to the DS457-SR Standard
Range model to enable the instant decoding of the
bar coded information on any state driver’s license
in the U.S. as well as other national ID documents to
support a wide variety of value-added applications. At
the retail POS, the DS457-DL allows effortless auto-
population of credit and loyalty cards, as well as easy
and error-proof age verification.
DS457-DP: Comprehensive support for 1D and
2D bar codes plus direct part marks. This powerful
model starts with the high-density scanning capability
of the DS457-HD, and adds new algorithms that
ensure easy reading of anydirect part marks. Workers
can easily capture even the most challenging direct
part marks, including low-contrast marks printed on
black plastic, black rubber, steel and cast-iron.
WORLD CLASS SUPPORT
FOR MAXIMUM UPTIME
For true service peace of mind, our Service from the
Start Advance Exchange Support program offers
next-business-day device replacement to keep your
DS457 imagers up and running. And since built-in
Comprehensive Coverage includes normal wear and
tear as well as accidental damage to internal and
external components, unforeseen repair expenses are
practically eliminated. The result is an extraordinary
lifecycle, extraordinary uptime — and a truly
outstanding ROI.
