Symbol DS3400 Series
FEATURES
Ability to read both 1D
and 2D bar codes
Increases productivity and
lowers costs by providing
one device that can be used
to read all industry-standard
bar codes
Ability to capture high
density bar codes
(HD unit only)
Increases productivity by
enabling users to read high
density 2D matrix codes
in addition to all industrystandard bar codes.
Ability to read a wide
variety of DPM marks
(DPM unit only)
Enhances quality processes
and improves lifetime product
traceability
Capture bar codes, images and direct part
marks with laser-like precision
The Symbol DS3400 Series of rugged digital
scanners uses digital imaging technology to
accurately read a wide variety of one-dimensional
(1D) and two-dimensional (2D) bar codes and
direct part marks (DPM) while offering the
high performance typically found only in laser
scanners. For capturing images and bar codes,
the DS3408-SF is ideal. If you also need to
capture high density 2D matrix codes, choose
the DS3408-HD. The DS3407-SF not only reads
bar codes, it also captures and transfers images.
For direct part marks, select the DS3407-DP.
High performance that speeds productivity
With the Symbol DS3400 Series, you benefit
from a scanning solution designed specifically for
fast-paced production environments. The Symbol
DS3400 Series comes equipped with chargecoupled device (CCD) image sensors, which allow
them to more accurately capture and process bar
codes at a faster pace than other digital scanners.
In addition, the scanners’ omni-directional scanning
functionality lets operators quickly capture bar
codes from any angle, eliminating the need to
line up bar codes with laser lines. The Symbol
DS3400 Series has the widest working range of
any scanner in its class. Its two-position smart
focus technology, unique to Motorola, allows you
to read bar codes regardless of the size or density
of the code with the This means that this single
device can work well for all your scanning needs.
Ruggedized for industrial-grade applications
As innovative as it is rugged, the DS3400 Series
delivers the ergonomic and operational features
for scan-intensive industrial applications under the
harshest operating conditions. During industry
tumble tests, it continued to provide reliable
performance even when subjected to multiple drops
of 6.5 feet (2 meters) to concrete. An IP65-rated
seal makes it impervious to dust and water, and
its exit window is scratch-resistant and recessed
for the highest level of durability. As a result,
you avoid unnecessary equipment downtime
or expensive equipment replacement costs.
An investment for now and the future
In addition to the productivity-enhancing features
you need to keep business moving, the DS3400
Series provides you with investment protection.
Onboard support for multiple interfaces, a standard
feature, allows you to use your scanner with
many different types of systems for seamless
integration now, as well as painless migration to
new ones in the future. We back up our leading
scanner design with a full three-year warranty.
