Capture data and images with single
multi-use device
The versatile Symbol DS6700 Series from Motorola
delivers the functionality of a 1D and 2D bar code
scanner, digital camera and document scanner in a
single device. Designed to meet a wide variety of
business needs across a variety of industries, the
Symbol DS6700 enhances employee productivity
and streamlines business processes in retail,
healthcare, government, manufacturing and more
by combining an onboard 1.3 megapixel camera
with high performance scanning features and
superior digital imaging technology.
Enhance employee productivity
The Symbol DS6700 Series delivers the accurate
and rapid first time scanning of bar codes required
to maximize employee productivity. Whether you need
to read 1D, 2D or PDF417 bar codes, the Symbol
DS6700 Series provides true point-and-shoot bar
code capture — there is no need to orient products
to the scanner window, and a viewfinder ensures
the image is properly captured the first time. Users
can dynamically switch between hands-free and
handheld operation to quickly, easily and safely
scan large items. And a pick list function expands
usability from the front room to the back room,
enabling rapid processing of orders and more.
Superior document clarity for
record-keeping applications
Our text enhancement software delivers the document
clarity required to streamline record-keeping, replacing
paper-based files with electronic filing. From medication
prescriptions to bills of lading, the high-resolution
camera and text-enhancing software work hand-inhand to ensure the visibility of text on documents
captured, including very small print. As a result, critical
business information is literally at your fingertips,
helping to reduce administrative and regulatory
compliance costs.
An outstanding return on investment
The Symbol DS6700 Series reduces capital and
operating expenses by eliminating the need to
purchase, manage and support additional devices
— such as digital cameras and separate bar code
scanners for different symbologies. Fewer devices
to deploy significantly reduces the time and costs
associated with training — and positively impacts
productivity. The ability to remotely track, deploy and
upgrade Symbol DS6700 Series scanners reduces
