THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE, INNOVATION AND MANAGEABILITY
As a retailer, you know the checkout experience is crucial — it’s the last chance to leave your shoppers with a good impression. The quality of the checkout experience is heavily dependent upon the performance of the scanner you choose. If cashiers need to scan barcodes multiple times or enter unreadable barcodes manually, your checkout lanes can back up quickly, translating into long lines and long wait times. Cashiers are then forced to focus on ringing up merchandise instead of providing shoppers with a great in-store experience. Now, give every shopper the ultimate last impression with the DS8100 Series handheld imager, only from Zebra. The DS8100 Series rises above the conventional imagers to deliver unprecedented scanning performance on 1D and 2D barcodes, innovative productivity enhancing tools and unrivaled manageability to keep your checkout lines moving and your cashiers free to deliver a more personal checkout experience. The DS8100 Series — because when it comes to the checkout experience, only the best will do.
UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE
Unparalleled Performance on Virtually Every Barcode in Any Condition
Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM technology. With this unique combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100 Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes — including dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.
Superior Scan Range
A scanning range up to 24 in./61 cm, a high resolution imaging sensor and a bright “aiming spot” improve checkout speed. Now, cashiers in busy checkout environments can easily scan items in a customer’s shopping cart — without leaving the cash-wrap.
