• DS3478-DP: Ideal for 1D and 2D barcode scanning and capturing direct part marks (DPM)

All scanners in this series offer omnidirectional scanning capabilities and a rugged design sealed to IP65 standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Key Features of Zebra Symbol DS3478

Wireless Scanning with Integrated Bluetooth

The DS3478 comes equipped with Bluetooth technology, eliminating the hassle of cables and reducing repair costs associated with cable wear and tear. Bluetooth connectivity allows workers to move freely around their workspace without being tethered to a fixed station, boosting productivity and operational flexibility. This wireless integration simplifies pairing and enhances overall efficiency in environments where mobility is critical, such as warehouses, production lines, and retail stores.

Capability to Scan 1D and 2D Barcodes, Including High-Density Codes (DS3478-HD)

The DS3478 can read both 1D and 2D barcodes, supporting various industry-standard symbologies like UPC, EAN, QR Codes, Data Matrix, and PDF417. The DS3478-HD version is specially designed for reading high-density and small barcodes, making it ideal for applications that require precise data capture in confined spaces or on compact products. This versatility improves productivity and lowers costs by handling a wide range of barcode scanning needs without requiring multiple devices.

Direct Part Marking (DPM) Capabilities (DS3478-DP)

The DS3478-DP model excels in capturing Direct Part Marks (DPM), enhancing quality control processes and enabling full product lifecycle traceability. DPM technology is crucial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics manufacturing, where tracking individual components is essential for regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

Omnidirectional Scanning for Faster Performancez

The DS3478 features omnidirectional scanning, eliminating the need to align barcodes with the scanner’s line of sight. This capability significantly speeds up workflows by allowing quick scans without time-consuming adjustments, making it perfect for high-throughput environments where speed and accuracy are critical.

Rugged Design for Maximum Durability

Designed to withstand tough conditions, the Zebra DS3478 can endure multiple 6.5-foot (2-meter) drops onto concrete without compromising performance. Its rugged build is ideal for industrial settings, ensuring minimal downtime due to accidental drops or impacts.

IP65 Sealing for Dust and Water Resistance

The IP65 sealing standard protects the DS3478 against water and dust, making it suitable for challenging environments, from dusty warehouses to damp factory floors. This robust construction ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial applications.

Bright LED Indicators and Adjustable Beeper Volume

The DS3478 is equipped with bright LED indicators and a volume-adjustable beeper to provide clear feedback, even in noisy environments. This ensures users can quickly confirm successful scans, enhancing workflow efficiency and reducing the chance of scanning errors in industrial settings.

Dual Position Smart Focus for Versatile Scanning

The scanner offers dual-position smart focus, allowing users to select the best focus position for specific barcode sizes and distances. This feature improves scanning precision and speed, especially when dealing with varied barcode types and densities.

Advanced Data Formatting for Seamless Integration

The advanced data formatting capability eliminates the need for costly software modifications, enabling the DS3478 to integrate seamlessly with existing host systems. This reduces setup time and costs, making it easier to deploy the scanner across different applications.

Multiple Interface Support and Universal Cable Compatibility

The DS3478 supports multiple interface options and includes a universal cable set, allowing easy migration to future hosts and simplifying upgrades. This flexibility ensures the scanner remains compatible with evolving systems, protecting investment in the long run.
