SKU: 

DS5502-SR40004ZZWW

At 1.2 in H x 2.2 in W x 2.8 in D and weighing just 2.30 oz, the Zebra DS5502-SR40004ZZWW is a fixed mount area imager sized for lab workstations, pharmacy registers, patient admissions desks, and self-service kiosks where space is at a premium. Its 1280 x 800 image sensor reads 1D and 2D barcodes across a 48-degree horizontal by 30-degree vertical field of view, with a standard scanning range out to 35.90 in and reading angles of 60-degree skew, 60-degree pitch, and 360-degree roll for presentation-style capture. Code 39 resolves from 3 mil to 20 mil, PDF417 from 6.7 mil, and DataMatrix from 10 mil, at a minimum print contrast of 15%. White LED illumination supports color-coded specimen trays and biopsy cassettes, while the IP54-rated, wipe-clean housing tolerates 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity and operating temperatures from -4 degrees F (-20 degrees C) to 122 degrees F (50 degrees C). The scanner handles up to 107600 lux of ambient light and is designed to withstand multiple drops at 5 ft (1.5 m) to concrete. RS-232 and USB interfaces, image output in BMP, JPEG, and TIFF, and compatibility with PC, iOS, Android, and Linux platforms round out a unit suited to healthcare, laboratory, pharmacy, and specimen collection environments.

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.
