Zebra DS4608, 2D, High Density, RS232, USB, Kit (USB), Black

SKU: 

DS4608-HD7U2600SCW

Configured as a high-density imager, the Zebra DS4608-HD7U2600SCW resolves Code 39 barcodes from 2 mil to 20 mil and DataMatrix codes from 4 mil to 10 mil, making it well suited to jewelry tags, small labels and densely printed media that standard scanners struggle to decode. It reads 1D, 2D and OCR symbologies — including DotCode, Dotted DataMatrix, PDF417, QR Code, Aztec, Han Xin, SecurPharm and OCR-A/B — 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. A minimum print contrast of 15% and a maximum ambient light tolerance of 107000 lux support operation across varied lighting conditions. The kit ships with a USB cable and stand, connects via USB and EAS, and outputs captured images in JPEG, TIFF and BMP formats. The Twilight Black handheld chassis weighs 5.71 oz, measures 6.5 in tall by 2.6 in wide by 3.9 in deep, and carries an IP52 ingress protection rating with a drop specification of multiple falls at 6.0 ft to concrete, targeting retail, hospitality, quick service restaurant and inventory environments.

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.
