SYMBOL DS3578 SERIES
INSTANTLY CAPTURE VIRTUALLY ANY TYPE OF BAR CODE
Improve business efficiency in your harshest industrial environments with the DS3578 Series. Breakthrough digital
imaging technology allows workers to capture virtually any bar code, with extreme speed and accuracy. Three models
can meet any bar code capture requirement you have ' from 1-D and 2-D bar codes and Direct Part Marks (DPM) to
Unique Identification (IUID)* support.
IMAGE CAPTURE ADDS VALUE
When a shipment arrives damaged, a picture is worth a thousand words. With the press of a trigger, workers can
capture a photo and automatically append it to the shipment record. The image is wirelessly transferred to the cradle
and on to your host PC, providing indisputable evidence of damage and streamlining returns processing.
CORDLESS FREEDOM IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY
With integrated Bluetooth , there is no cord between the scanner and the host, so your employees can move freely
throughout your work environment. Productivity, efficiency and even worker safety is improved. Plus, downtime from
cable breakdowns ' a common point of failure in handheld devices used in industrial environments ' is eliminated.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE FOR MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
The DS3578 Series is designed specifically for fast-paced production environments. Complementary metal'oxide'
semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors accurately capture and process bar codes much faster than the typical digital
scanner. The powerful 624 MHz microprocessor decodes 1-D and 2-D bar codes within milliseconds, regardless of
size or density. The patent pending fast-pulse illumination and fast sensor shutter speed deliver outstanding motion
tolerance, eliminating the need for users to pause between scans. Omni-directional scanning functionality allows
operators to quickly capture bar codes from any angle, so users never need to take the time to align bar codes with
laser lines. Plus, the DS3578 Series offers the widest working range of any scanner in its class.
* Direct Part Marks (DPM) and IUID available only on the DS3578-DP (DPM-enabled model)
BUILT FOR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
As innovative as it is rugged, the DS3578 Series delivers the ergonomic and operational features required in
scan-intensive industrial applications in the harshest environments. The device is built to handle the inevitable bumps
and drops ' even on concrete. An IP65-rated seal makes it impervious to dust and water. The exit window is
scratch-resistant and recessed for the highest level of durability. These features deliver a low total cost of ownership,
minimizing employee and device downtime as well as equipment repair and replacement costs.
In addition, noisy machinery and poor lighting can make it difficult for operators to see or hear scanner feedback to
ensure proper completion of scans. DS3578 Series addresses this challenge with bright LEDs, adjustable beeper
volume and a vibrating pager motor placed in the handle. Decode feedback is clearly visible and audible, protecting
productivity and task accuracy.
