Overview

DS8100 Series Handheld Imagers

The ultimate in performance, innovation and manageability

The final step of a shopping journey is a retailer’s last chance to make a good impression. Whether customers are using curbside pickup or in-store checkout, they expect speed and convenience. With the DS8100 Series handheld imager, you can elevate the customer experience and deliver frictionless transactions at every touchpoint — from cashier manned and self-checkout lanes to curbside and in-store pickup. The DS8100 Series rises above conventional imagers, providing unprecedented scanning performance so cashiers and self-checkout customers can easily scan any barcode the first time, every time. You get a wide range of innovations, including interchangeable power sources — a PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCapTM capacitor1. And every DS8100 Series imager is engineered with DataCapture DNA, Zebra’s exclusive software ecosystem that simplifies every stage of the scanning experience over the life of your device. Keep checkout lines moving with the DS8100 Series, the ultimate in handheld scanning performance and innovation.

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.

Innovation beyond the barcode

Swappable power options reduce your investment risk

Two interchangeable power options are available to power your devices: a PowerPrecision+ battery or a PowerCap capacitor. You can swap power options at any time on all models, right in your facility — no need to purchase separate battery-free and battery powered devices. And managing your power sources is easy. Since the PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap capacitor can report their model and serial numbers, you’ll always know which power source is in each scanner.

On a single charge, the advanced PowerPrecision+ battery provides over three around-the-clock days of continuous scanning, plus a wealth of metrics for better battery management.

The PowerCap capacitor is ideal when the scanner can always be inserted into a charging cradle when not in use. The largest capacitor in its category, the superior PowerCap offers 2,000 scans on a full charge and 100 scans after as little as 35 seconds in the cradle — both metrics are four times the competition.

Unprecedented Performance

Unparalleled performance on virtually every barcode in any condition

Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, the highest sensor resolution in its class and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging 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.
