Zebra DS8178 Standard Range

To be more efficient every day in your business or in your distribution network

With Zebra'sDS8178 handheld imager, you can create a better shopping experience and ensure smooth transactions, from traditional checkout to self-service and local pick-up locations. This DS8178 imager is far superior to conventional devices in that it delivers unmatched reading performance, allowing cashiers and customers to easily read every barcode on the first attempt. The range also offers a wide range of innovations, such as interchangeable power sources (PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap capacitor). The DS8178 imager features DataCapture DNA, Zebra's proprietary software ecosystem, which simplifies the reading experience over the life of the device. With the DS8178, checkout remains seamless, thanks to the devices' reading performance and technological innovation.

• Ideal solution for retail (point of sale, self-service checkout, online shopping, in-store collection, loyalty applications, electronic voucher redemption, back-office reception, stock management
• Tourism, leisure and events (check-in/check-out, ticketing of concerts and sports events, etc.), loyalty cards
• Transport and logistics (shipping and receiving), stock removal, product traceability, ticket/ticket printing (airports, train and bus stations), postal services
• Light industry: product and component traceability, work in progress (WIP)
• Public services: Lottery and gaming, administration, banking

Extended reading range
The DS8178 offers you an extended reading range of up to 61 cm, a high-resolution image sensor and a bright line of sight. There's really nothing like it to speed up checkout. Now staff at busy checkouts can easily read the items in the customer's trolley without having to move.

Unrivalled performance in any barcode condition
Only the DS8178 combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor with a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra's proprietary PRZM intelligent imaging technology. With this unique combination of hardware and powerful algorithms, they instantly capture even the most delicate barcodes (dense, poorly printed, wrinkled, faded, etc.).The unique combination of hardware and powerful algorithms enables them to instantly capture even the most delicate barcodes (dense, poorly printed, wrinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged), as well as electronic barcodes displayed on low-light screens.

Easily replaceable power supply options reduce investment risk
Two interchangeable power supply options are available for this equipment: a PowerPrecision+ battery and a PowerCap capacitor. These can be exchanged at any time, on any model, on site, without the need to purchase units without batteries or with pre-existing batteries. Power source management, on the other hand, is very simple. Both options pass on their own model and serial number. This means you always know which scanner has the battery or capacitor. A charge of the advanced PowerPrecision+ battery covers more than three days of uninterrupted reading and provides a host of key indicators for accurate management. The PowerCap is ideal when the scanner can be placed in a docking station between uses. The largest capacitor in its class, it covers 2,000 reads at full charge and 100 reads after 35 seconds in the docking station. Both figures are four times better than competitive scanners.
