DS8100 Series Handheld Imagers
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.
UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE
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.
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.
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.
INNOVATION BEYOND THE BARCODE
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.
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.
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.
