Description
ico-plus ico-minus

The Zebra DS5502 Fixed Mount Scanner is a compact, industrial-grade fixed-mount barcode reader designed for hands-free capture of 1D and 2D codes in constrained or high-throughput environments. Built as a standard-range area imager, the DS5502 integrates easily via USB and RS-232 (dual-interface) and is available with options such as DL parsing for document data capture and a lab-ready, wipeable housing. Suited to retail kiosks, self-service terminals, manufacturing lines, logistics sortation and clinical or laboratory workflows, it delivers reliable reads, clear visual and audio feedback, ingress protection (IP54) and ESD resistance—helping operations improve throughput, reduce handling errors and simplify system integration.

Key Features

  • Fixed-mount form factor: Compact, low-profile design supports space-constrained installations for kiosks, workstations and inline automation.
  • 1D/2D area imaging: Standard-range imager reads a broad set of barcode types (1D, 2D) for versatile deployment across retail, logistics and clinical use cases.
  • Dual-interface connectivity: USB and RS-232 host interfaces (dual-interface) simplify integration with existing POS, kiosk and embedded systems.
  • Durable and serviceable: IP54 environmental sealing, advanced ESD protection and multi-drop resistance support dependable daily operation in demanding environments.
  • Advanced data capture: Variants offer DL Parsing and OCR capabilities for driver license and document data extraction, streamlining ID and intake workflows.
  • Clear operator feedback: Visual LEDs and adjustable audio beeper provide immediate confirmation of successful reads to reduce rescans and speed throughput.
