Zebra DS2278 2D Barcode Scanner

Instant decoding with PRZM intelligent imaging

Only from Zebra, PRZM’s software decode algorithms for the DS2200 Series deliver superior performance on poor quality barcodes. The result is first-time, every-time scanning to help your workers improve productivity at the checkout counter.

Unsurpassed scanning range

Workers can scan barcodes across a wide range (0.5 in./1.23 cm to 14.5 in./36.8 cm), improving checkout speed and reducing training time.

Point-and-shoot scanning simplicity

With omni-directional scanning, users never need to line up the imager and the barcode — unlike 1D scanners.

Patent pending technology for the most intuitive aiming

The aim line is similar to the 1D scanners you have today, providing your associates with a familiar experience. Additionally, the aim line guides users to scan at the ideal distance from the barcode — especially helpful when capturing wide barcodes.

Easiest pairing on the planet

With our industry-first Scan-to-Connect technology, your workers can pair the cordless DS2278 with any Bluetooth®-enabled PC, tablet or smartphone in a single step.

Fast, easy and flexible charging

Plug the imager directly into the host or any standard wall socket via the Micro USB cable to charge the DS2278 in just an hour without the cradle. The Presentation Cradle, which provides hands-free scanning, charges the DS2278 in just four hours. The Presentation Cradle charges the battery during use, so you can keep the scanner in service during charging. And since the Presentation Cradle doesn’t require a separate power supply, there are fewer accessories to purchase and manage.

Unique direct decode indicator improves productivity

The illumination on the barcode flashes to indicate a good decode, so workers know instantly if the barcode was captured correctly — regardless of how noisy the environment might be.

On-the-fly switching between handheld and hands-free scanning

Regardless of whether your workers are using the corded DS2208 or the cordless DS2278, workers can simply place the imager in its presentation stand to automatically switch to hands-free mode – no change of settings is required.

Guaranteed full shift battery power

With 14 hours of power, your cordless DS2278 imagers are always available for use — no need to waste time recharging during the business day.

EASY TO MANAGE

Control your scanners from a smartphone, tablet or PC

You can easily control the beeper, LED and Symbology settings; display scanned barcode data; access model and serial number information and more from Windows, Android and iOS hosts.

Eliminate Bluetooth interference with Zebra’s proprietary Wi-Fi friendly mode

Ensure that your cordless DS2278 Bluetooth imagers only operate on channels that are not shared with your WLAN, protecting WLAN service levels for your workers and your customers.

A battery designed to last

The long-lasting 2400 mAh Lithium Ion battery in the cordless DS2278 will likely never need to be replaced, reducing total cost of ownership and simplifying everyday management by eliminating the need to purchase and manage a battery pool.

No-cost tools to meet advanced management and application development needs

If you have Imagers in different locations, you can remotely manage them all with our Scanner Management Service (SMS) application. Need a custom scanning application?
