Boost productivity with faster, smarter, and more efficient scanning - Zebra redefined scanning with PRZM Intelligent Imaging—a powerful suite of technologies that enables faster, more accurate, and longer-range barcode capture, even on the most challenging codes. Now, with an advanced 2 MP optical system, the DS82 Series sets a new standard for scanning performance—delivering speed, precision, and ease like never before. It’s ready for what’s next—with a single trigger pull, it instantly reads both traditional 1D UPC and emerging 2D Digital Link codes on product packaging. A wide scanning range—up to 28 inches (70 cm) for UPC codes and 19 inches (48 cm) for 2D QR codes—makes it easy to capture hard-to-reach items, including those at the bottom of shopping carts.
Multi-function button: customize your workflow with ease - A multi-function button acts as a secondary trigger, giving you the flexibility to assign it to the tasks that matter most to your workflow. Whether switching between POS and returns applications or activating RFID reads, this customizable button streamlines everyday tasks—helping users work more efficiently and with greater ease.
Smarter operations with integrated RFID - Zebra DS8288 Cordless Bluetooth 1D & 2D Handheld Barcode Scanner Series RFID models bring together barcode scanning and RFID in a sleek, easy-to-use handheld—giving retailers the ability to layer data from both sources for more precise inventory tracking, smoother stock management, and reduced shrink. For example, verifying that a scanned barcode matches the RFID tag on an item can help prevent fraud and catch mismatches before they become losses. The RFID antenna is concealed, so it won’t interrupt the checkout experience—customers won’t even know it’s there. And the adjustable read range helps avoid interference from nearby lanes or aisles.
Future-ready innovation at the POS with vision technology - The exclusive 2MP sensor supports third-party vision applications that can enable real-time item recognition and verification to streamline transactions and reduce self-checkout shrink.
