The Zebra DS4608 is a highly multi-faceted barcode scanner and is ideal for a variety of workstations, such as in retail and hospitality, as well as in the electronics and light industry (DPM). The scanner is also robustly designed for demanding tasks: it features IP52 certification and is impact-resistant from heights up to 1.8 meters. The recessed scan window helps reduce dirt and scratches.

The DS4608 reliably and quickly captures 1D and 2D, plus DPM barcodes (DS4608-DPE) on nearly any background and in nearly any condition: printed or from a display, with a high density or a low contrast. The DS4608-HD also reads very dense, very small barcodes, for example, on jewelry labels without any trouble. With the DS4608-DPE particularly wide barcodes with a width up to 4" are captured. The DS4608-SR, on the other hand, also scans full-page documents and barcodes at a distance of up to 46 cm. This makes it possible for users to scan items in a shopping cart without having to leave the checkout area, for example.

The barcode scanner is equipped with an 800 MHz microprocessor and a high-resolution megapixel sensor. Together with Zebra's PRZM intelligent imaging technology even poorly readable or hard to reach barcodes are reliably captured. Multi-code data formatting ensures that, as needed, multiple barcodes are captured with a single scan and are transferred in the desired order. A practical and clear triple good scan confirmation follows every successful scan: a decoding LED, a programmable audible beep and a direct decoding indicator with lighting on the barcode. A particularly practical feature is the host recognition, which automatically selects the right interface (USB, RS-232 or RS-485) when connected.

Another benefit of the DS4608 is the quick change between handheld and presentation modes. For presentation mode, simply place the barcode scanner in the presentation stand. Handheld mode is automatically activated as soon as the scanner is picked up.

The DS4608 enjoys support from the service offerings of DataCapture DNA, with a range of unique tools for development, management, transparency and productivity.
