The Zebra DS4608-HD7R1300ZCW is a high-density 2D imager kit configured with serial interface connectivity in a Twilight Black handheld chassis weighing 5.71 oz. Its megapixel imager and 800 MHz microprocessor support a broad symbology set spanning 1D formats — Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, UPC/EAN, GS1 DataBar and more — alongside 2D formats including PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec, DotCode and Dotted DataMatrix, as well as OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR and US Currency. The scanner measures 6.5 in tall, 2.6 in wide and 3.9 in deep, and the kit ships with an RS232 cable for direct serial integration at point-of-sale and retail checkout counters. EAS interface support is also included.

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.
