SKU: 

DS4608-HD7R1300SCW

Configured with a serial host interface and bundled with the CBA-R13-C09EAR shielded serial EAS cable and 20-71043-04R gooseneck stand, the Zebra DS4608-HD7R1300SCW is a high-density corded barcode scanner kit built for retail, hospitality, inventory, and self-checkout environments. Its 1280 x 800 imager resolves Code 39 elements down to 2 mil and DataMatrix elements down to 4 mil across a scanning distance of 29 in, with a 36-degree horizontal and 23-degree vertical field of view and a full 360-degree roll tolerance. The LED-illuminated, trigger-operated scanner reads a broad symbology set spanning 1D codes including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and GS1 DataBar, 2D codes including PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, DotCode, and Dotted DataMatrix, plus OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR, and US Currency. Checkpoint EAS deactivation, a 15% minimum print contrast threshold, and 107000 lux ambient light tolerance extend its utility across demanding store conditions, while IP52 sealing and a drop specification of 6.0 ft to concrete underpin day-to-day durability. The scanner weighs 5.71 oz, operates from 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) to 122 degrees F (50 degrees C), carries a standby current of 150 mA, and is TAA Compliant, backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus
The Zebra DS4608 is a corded handheld 2D area imager designed for retail associates, POS operators, and front-line staff who need fast, dependable barcode capture across the entire store. Connecting via USB or RS-232, it integrates readily with existing POS and back-office systems without wireless infrastructure. Its high-resolution 1280 x 800 pixel megapixel sensor, 800 MHz processor, and Zebra's PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology decode a comprehensive range of 1D and 2D symbologies — including DotCode, DataMatrix, QR Code, and UPC/EAN — whether printed on labels, displayed on mobile screens, or obscured behind cellophane. IP52-sealed construction, a double-sealed optical system, a recessed scan window, and a design rated to survive multiple 6 ft (1.8 m) drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles ensure consistent uptime in busy checkout, returns, and receiving environments. At 5.7 oz, the DS4608 is lightweight enough for extended handheld use, and it supports automatic handheld-to-presentation-mode switching when placed in an optional stand.
