The Zebra DS4608 is a high-performance 2D handheld barcode scanner designed to capture virtually all 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR, PDF417, Data Matrix, and more, from labels or digital displays. It delivers reliable, fast decoding even on challenging codes (low contrast, damaged, or poorly printed). It’s built with durability and productivity in mind for demanding environments.
Key Features:
• Versatile Barcode Support: Reads all standard 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, and variants such as DPM (direct part marking) depending on model (e.g., DS4608-DPE).
• Fast Performance: Equipped with an 800 MHz microprocessor, high-resolution megapixel sensor, and Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology for quick and accurate scanning.
• Handheld & Presentation Modes: Automatically switches between handheld use and hands-free scanning when placed on a stand — no settings change required.
• Durable Design: IP52 sealing protects against dust and light spills, and it can withstand repeated drops (e.g., up to ~1.8 m / 6 ft) and thousands of tumbles. The recessed scan window helps reduce dirt and scratches.
• Flexible Interfaces: Typically supports USB, RS-232, and RS-485 host interfaces with automatic host detection.
• Productivity Tools: Integrated with Data Capture DNA software for easier setup, management, and enhanced scanning workflows.
Typical Uses:
• Point-of-sale scanning in retail
• Inventory tracking and logistics
• Warehouse and light manufacturing applications
• Healthcare scanning (in healthcare-specific variants)
• Document capture (some configurations can capture full-page images)
The Zebra DS4608 is a versatile, rugged 2D barcode scanner that combines fast scanning performance, broad symbology support, and durable design for professional environments such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics. It’s built to handle everyday heavy usage while delivering accurate and efficient barcode reading.
