DS2200 SERIES CORDED AND CORDLESS 1D/2D IMAGERS

DS2200 Series Handheld Imagers

AFFORDABILITY AND SIMPLICITY DELIVERED

2D barcodes have made their way to your Point of Sale, appearing on everything from the items your customers are purchasing
to printed and electronic coupons and loyalty cards. Your 1D scanner can’t capture the new 2D codes, leading to exceptions that
slow down the check-out process and frustrate customers at that key last personal touchpoint in your store. But with the DS2200
Series, you can scan it all. You get an affordable 1D/2D imager that doesn’t compromise performance or features for price. Your
workers get best-in-class first-time, every-time scanning with point-and-shoot simplicity. You get an imager that couldn’t be easier
to deploy and manage. And you can choose the model that best fits your POS needs — the corded DS2208 or the cordless
DS2278.* The DS2200 Series — the affordability your budget demands, with the deployment, ease of use and management
simplicity your business requires.

EASY TO DEPLOY

Pre-configured and Ready to Use,
Right Out of the Box

Since the default settings are optimized
for the majority of scanning applications,
you can use the DS2200 Series imager
the moment you take it out of the box —
no configuration required.

Auto-host Detect Cables

Just plug the DS2200 Series into your
Point of Sale (POS) and the auto-host
detect cables will automatically identify
the interface and connect the imager,
simplifying and reducing setup time.

Easy Integration with
a Tablet-based POS

The DS2200 Series oers all the features
you need to add high-quality scanning
to your tablet-based POS. The Micro
USB cable provides a low-cost charging
alternative to a cradle. And with our
simplified app development tools, you
can easily configure and update the
DS2200 Series right from the tablet.

Deploy Anywhere in the World

With support for 97 international
keyboards, the DS2200 Series is easy
to deploy all around the world.

Easily Customize Settings with
123Scan

This complementary software tool is so
intuitive that even a first time user can
easily set up a DS2200 Series imager.
The wizard-driven interface makes it
easy to embed all settings into a single
programming barcode, enabling you to
configure your devices with a single scan.

Backwards Compatible with
Zebra LS2208 Series Cables

If you use Zebra’s 1D LS2208 scanners
today, you can use the same universal
cables with the DS2200 Series, allowing
you to leverage your existing accessory
investment to minimize the cost of
upgrading to a 1D/2D imager.

EASY TO USE

Instant Decoding with
PRZM Intelligent Imaging

Only from Zebra, PRZM’s software
decode algorithms for the DS2200
Series deliver superior performance
on poor quality barcodes. The result is
first-time, every-time scanning to help
your workers improve productivity at
the checkout counter.

Unsurpassed Scanning Range

Workers can scan barcodes across a wide
range (0.5 in./1.23 cm to 14.5 in./36.8 cm),
improving checkout speed and reducing
training time.

Point-and-shoot Scanning Simplicity

With omni-directional scanning, users
never need to line up the imager and the
barcode — unlike 1D scanners.

Patent Pending Technology
for the Most Intuitive Aiming

The aim line is similar to the 1D scanners
you have today, providing your associates
with a familiar experience. Additionally,
the aim line guides users to scan at the
ideal distance from the barcode
— especially helpful when capturing
wide barcodes.

THE DS2200 SERIES  THE AFFORDABILITY YOUR BUDGET DEMANDS, WITH THE SIMPLE DEPLOYMENT,

EASEOFUSE AND MANAGEABILITY YOUR BUSINESS REQUIRES.

EASY TO USE (continued)

Easiest Pairing on the Planet

With our industry-first Scan-to-Connect technology, your
workers can pair the cordless DS2278 with any Bluetooth­enabled PC, tablet or smar tphone in a single step.

Fast, Easy and Flexible Charging

Plug the imager directly into the host or any standard
wall socket via the Micro USB cable to charge the DS2278
in just an hour without the cradle. The Presentation Cradle,
which provides hands-free scanning, charges the DS2278
in just four hours. The Presentation cradle charges the
battery during use, so you can keep the scanner in service
during charging. And since the Presentation Cradle
doesn’t require a separate power supply, there are fewer
accessories to purchase and manage.

Unique Direct Decode Indicator
Improves Productivity

The illumination on the barcode flashes to indicate
a good decode, so workers know instantly if the
barcode was captured correctly — regardless of
how noisy the environment might be.

On-the-fly Switching Between Handheld
and Hands-free Scanning

Regardless of whether your workers are using the
corded DS2208 or the cordless DS2278, workers
can simply place the imager in its presentation
stand to automatically switch to hands-free mode –
no change of settings is required.

Guaranteed Full Shift Battery Power

With 14 hours of power, your cordless DS2278 imagers
are always available for use — no need to waste time
recharging during the business day.

EASY TO MANAGE

Control Your Scanners from a
Smartphone, Tablet or PC

You can easily control the beeper, LED and
Symbology settings; display scanned barcode data;
access model and serial number information and
more from Windows, Android and iOS hosts.

Eliminate Bluetooth Interference with
Zebra’s Proprietary Wi-Fi Friendly Mode

Ensure that your cordless DS2278 Bluetooth imagers
only operate on channels that are not shared with
your WLAN, protecting WLAN ser vice levels for your
workers and your customers.

A Battery Designed to Last

The long-lasting 2400 mAh Lithium Ion batter y in
the cordless DS2278 will likely never need to be
replaced, reducing total cost of ownership and
simplifying everyday management by eliminating
the need to purchase and manage a battery pool.

No-cost Tools to Meet Advanced Management
and Application Development Needs

If you have Imagers in dierent locations, you
can remotely manage them all with our Scanner
Management Service (SMS) application. Need a
custom scanning application? Our Scanner Software
Development Kits (SDKs) provides everything you
need, including documentation, drivers, test utilities
and sample source code for Windows, Android,
iOS and Linux.
