Features & Benefits:

Scan it all with virtually no exceptions -The DS9908R Scanner combines an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology for unparalleled performance on 1D, 2D barcodes. Problematic barcodes won’t slow down your checkout lanes. The DS9900 Series can instantly capture dense, poorly printed, damaged, crinkled, faded, distorted, low-contrast, and glossy printed barcodes, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit mobile phone displays.

Bring RFID to your point of sale -If you are already benefiting from RFID in your supply chain, you can close the RFID loop by capturing RFID-tagged merchandise at the POS with the DS9908R RFID model. Checkouts are easier than ever since associates can scan multiple items at once without a line of sight.

Dynamic switching between hands-free and handheld modes -A patent-pending capacitive touch sensor and accelerometer work together to instantly switch to handheld mode as soon as an associate picks up the scanner. There are no mechanical components to wear out, providing fail-proof switching throughout the scanner’s life.

Designed to survive spills and drops -With IP42 sealing and elevated electronics, accidental spills and dust won’t impact operation1. Inadvertent drops aren’t a problem either — you can depend on reliable operation, even after multiple 4 ft./1.2 m drops to concrete.

Streamline data collection with OCR -Support for OCR transmits scanned text to your application to expedite the collection of data from passports, ID cards and more.
