As a retailer, you understand that the checkout experience is crucial for merchants—it's an opportunity to leave a good impression on your customers. The checkout experience largely depends on the performance of the scanner you choose. If the cashier needs to scan barcodes multiple times or manually enter unreadable barcodes, the checkout process can quickly become hindered, leading to longer queues and increased wait times. Cashiers are forced to focus on recording items, neglecting the in-store experience for customers. Now, with ZEBRA's DS8108 handheld imager, you can leave a positive impression on customers. The DS8108 barcode scanner enhances the performance of conventional imagers, providing both 1D and 2D barcode scanning capabilities and improving tool manageability. The DS8108 barcode scanner helps speed up checkout, allowing cashiers to offer a personalized checkout experience for customers.

ZEBRA DS8108 Wired Handheld Barcode Imager Scanner Features

1. Excellent performance, capable of capturing barcodes under various conditions;

The DS8108 combines an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor, and ZEBRA's PRZM technology. With this combination of hardware and algorithms, the DS8108 scanner can instantly capture most problematic barcodes (based on actual barcode testing)—including dense, poorly printed, wrinkled, faded, distorted, dirty, or damaged barcodes, as well as electronic barcodes displayed on dim screens.

2. Scanning range;

With a scanning range of up to 24 inches/61 cm, the high-resolution imaging scanner and bright "aiming dot" enhance checkout speed. Now, cashiers in busy checkout environments can easily scan items in customers' shopping carts without leaving the checkout counter.

3. PRZM imaging

ZEBRA's PRZM technology instantly transforms poor-quality images into useful images for fast decoding. PRZM then performs processing typically done in decoders to reduce power consumption, extend battery life, and further improve decoding speed.

4. Supported barcodes—Digimarc

The DS8108 scanner supports Digimarc digital watermark technology, allowing barcodes to be repeatedly printed on a product's surface like a watermark—visible even to the naked eye. Cashiers no longer need to search and locate barcodes within the imager's field of view, enabling faster checkout and simplified self-checkout.

5. Capture multiple barcodes with a single press of the scan trigger

Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF) provides the ability to capture multiple barcodes and transmit data in the correct order as required by the application.

6. Instantly capture full-page documents

The DS8108 barcode scanner is capable of capturing full-page documents. With a single press of the scan trigger, ZEBRA's document capture and high-resolution 1280x960 camera can capture high-resolution images of full-page 8.5 x 11 or A4 documents and transmit data in the correct format for electronic storage—reducing the cost and space requirements of document scanners.

7. Direct decode indication improves efficiency

A flashing light on the barcode indicates that decoding is complete, allowing staff to continue without pausing to ensure the barcode is correctly captured.

8. Control your scanner via mobile, tablet, or PC

With this easy-to-use application, you can control the imager's buzzer, vibration, and LED to set user alerts; display scanned barcode data; access model and serial numbers; and view statistics from Android, iOS, and Windows phones, tablets, and PCs.

9. Simplified application development

With our Scanner Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows, Android, iOS, and Linux, you have everything you need to easily integrate scanning into your business applications. These SDKs provide documentation, drivers, testing utilities, and sample source code.
