Zebra DS4608 Wired Barcode Scanner (DS4608-SR7U2100SGW)

The Zebra DS4608 is a premium corded 2D handheld barcode scanner that reads virtually every 1D and 2D barcode – on paper labels, on mobile phone screens and even when damaged or poorly printed – with simple point-and-shoot scanning. Zebra's PRZM intelligent imaging and patented rear-engine design deliver fast, first-time reads, and the scanner is backed by a 5-year (60-month) Zebra warranty. This version, DS4608-SR7U2100SGW, has the Standard Range (SR) engine (the all-round choice for everyday barcodes), comes in Twilight Black and is supplied with a USB cable and a stand for hands-free scanning.

Key Features

• Reads 1D and 2D barcodes – including QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417 and DotCode, from paper labels and from phone or tablet screens (e-coupons, loyalty cards, mobile tickets).
• PRZM intelligent imaging – Zebra's advanced decode algorithms read damaged, dirty, poorly printed and low-contrast barcodes at the first attempt.
• Patented rear-engine design – the scan engine sits at the back of the scanner, giving a wider field of view so that long, wide barcodes can be read at every distance.
• Standard Range (SR) engine – reads everyday barcodes from contact up to 71 cm (13 mil UPC) and captures full-page documents with Intelligent Document Capture.
• Multi-code reading and Preferred Symbol – capture several barcodes with a single trigger pull, or output only the barcode you need when several codes are printed close together.
• Direct Decode Indicator – the illumination on the barcode flashes on a good read, so staff know instantly that the scan worked, even in a noisy store.
• Handheld or hands-free – place the scanner in the Gooseneck Intellistand and it switches to hands-free presentation mode automatically, with no settings to change.
• Plug and play – auto-host-detect cables identify USB, RS232 or IBM 46XX automatically; uses the same Zebra cables as the DS2208 and LS2208. Supports more than 90 international keyboards.
• Built to last – withstands repeated 1.8 m drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles; double-sealed optics with a recessed exit window, IP52 sealed and a 60-month Zebra warranty.
• Free management tools – configure with 123Scan, manage remotely with Scanner Management Service (SMS) and integrate using the Zebra Scanner SDK (Zebra DataCapture DNA).

Technical Specifications

Not sure which version you need? The SR engine is the all-round choice for retail and general use; choose HD if you scan very small or densely printed codes. The DS4608 uses the same Zebra cables as the DS2208 and LS2208, so if you already have one at the checkout, the scanner-only version is the most economical choice; for a new workstation, pick a version with a USB cable included.
