Zebra Symbol DS6878 Barcode Scanner
Introduction
The Zebra DS6878 (also known as Symbol/Motorola DS6878) is a comprehensive data capture solution that helps organize and correct daily operational processes. Utilizing advanced digital imaging technology, the DS6878 can read nearly all 1D, 2D barcodes, and PDF417 codes across a wide range of surfaces, from labels to mobile phone screens and laptops.
In addition, the device offers hands-free scanning options, enabling users to capture signatures, documents, and images; optical character recognition (OCR) for capturing text from documents; and MICR for capturing numeric information related to checks and electronic transactions. These features make the DS6878 an ideal tool for businesses that require powerful and versatile scanning performance.

Outstanding Features
- Comprehensive and Flexible Data Capture
With the Zebra DS6878, there is no need to invest in multiple devices for scanning 1D, 2D, and PDF417 barcodes. This scanner meets all the needs in one device. Furthermore, the hands-free scanning mode allows users to capture signatures and images, or utilize OCR for capturing text from printed documents. MICR enables the automatic capture of data related to checks and electronic transactions, increasing automation and accuracy in workflows.
- High-Performance Scanning
The DS6878 delivers laser-like performance for 1D and 2D barcodes, offering fast and accurate scanning even for low-quality or damaged barcodes. Users do not need to align barcodes in a fixed direction, allowing for easy operation and increasing productivity. This is especially important in busy environments such as retail stores and warehouses, where efficiency and speed are essential.
- Superior Durability
The Zebra DS6878 is designed to withstand drops from up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) onto concrete surfaces. This is one of the best durability specifications in the Motorola range, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh working conditions. This durability guarantees a long lifespan and reduces maintenance and repair costs.
