Zebra FS42, Standard Range, Fast 2D barcode decoder, 2.3 MP, Ethernet with PoE, Serial, USB, Red Illumination, No Filters

The Zebra ScanMaster FS42 Pro is a fixed industrial scanner engineered for high-reliability automated data capture in manufacturing, warehousing and logistics environments. Designed as a fixed-mount smart camera, the FS42 Pro reads 1D and 2D barcodes, supports deep learning OCR on select models and integrates with factory automation via Ethernet with PoE, serial and USB interfaces. Available in multiple optics and sensor resolutions, including 2.3 MP and 5.0 MP variants with autofocus or global-shutter options, it delivers flexible field-of-view and illumination choices to match conveyor, workcell and inspection-station requirements. The FS42 Pro reduces manual handling, simplifies integration with industrial protocols and provides a rugged platform for continuous production use.

Key Features

• Flexible imaging options: Multiple sensor resolutions (2.3 MP and 5.0 MP) and field-of-view choices let you pick the right model for conveyor, kiosk or inspection applications.
• Reliable decoding: Fast 2D and standard 2D barcode decoders with 1D support ensure consistent reads across printed, direct part mark (DPM) and mobile screen barcodes.
• Industrial connectivity: Ethernet with PoE, RS-232/serial and USB interfaces plus support for industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP) streamline integration into automation systems.
• Autofocus and shutter choices: Autofocus models and global-shutter options accommodate dynamic production lines and high-speed inspection requirements.
• Durable, machine-vision capable platform: Built for industrial durability with smart-camera technology and machine vision toolset support for inspection and verification workflows.
