DS8100 SERIES CORDED AND CORDLESS 1D/2D IMAGERS
DS8100 Series Handheld Imagers
The ultimate in performance, innovation and manageability
Checkout is the last chance to leave your shoppers with a good impression — and the quality of the checkout experience is heavily
dependent upon the performance of the scanner you choose. If cashiers need to scan barcodes multiple times or enter unreadable
barcodes manually, your checkout lanes can back up quickly, resulting in long lines, long wait times and cashiers that need to focus on
ringing up merchandise as quickly as possible instead of focusing on shoppers to provide a better checkout experience. Now, you can
give every shopper the ultimate last impression with the DS8100 Series handheld imager. The DS8100 Series rises above conventional
imagers, delivering unprecedented scanning performance on 1D and 2D barcodes, innovative productivity enhancing tools, including
swappable power sources — a PowerPrecision+ battery or PowerCap
scanners up, running and in the hands of your cashiers. Keep checkout lines moving and cashiers free to deliver a more personal
checkout experience with the DS8100 Series — because when it comes to the checkout experience, only the best will do.

capacitor1 — plus unrivaled manageability tools to keep your
battery powered devices. And managing your power sources is
easy. Since the PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap capacitor
can report their model and serial numbers, you’ll always know
which power source is in each scanner.
On a single charge, the advanced PowerPrecision+ battery provides
over three around-the-clock days of continuous scanning, plus a
wealth of metrics for better battery management.
The PowerCap capacitor is ideal when the scanner can always be
inserted into a charging cradle when not in use. The largest capacitor
in its category, the superior PowerCap oers 2,000 scans on a full
charge and 100 scans after as little as 35 seconds in the cradle —
both metrics are four times the competition.
Unprecedented Performance
Unparalleled performance on virtually every barcode in any condition
Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz
microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s
exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology. With this unique
combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100
Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes — including
dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged,
as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.
Superior scan range
A scanning range up to 24 in./61 cm, a high resolution imaging sensor
and a bright “aiming spot” improve checkout speed. Now, cashiers
in busy checkout environments can easily scan items in a customer’s
shopping cart — without leaving the cash-wrap.
Innovation beyond the barcode
Swappable power options reduce your investment risk
Two interchangeable power options are available to power your
devices: a PowerPrecision+ batter y or a PowerCap capacitor.
You can swap power options at any time on all models, right in
your facility — no need to purchase separate battery-free and
Dedicated Power Charge Gauge
See at-a-glance if the PowerPrecision+ battery or the PowerCap
capacitor are suciently charged at the start of a shift.
Connect+ Contact Technology designed to last
The position of the charging contacts in the DS8100 Series charging
cradles combined with Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact Technology
assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of the scanner.
Support for the barcode of the future — Digimarc®
The DS8100 Series supports Digimarc digital watermark technology,
which enables a barcode to be printed repeatedly over all surfaces
of a product like wallpaper — yet remain completely invisible to
the naked eye. Cashiers no longer need to locate and position a
barcode in the field of view of the imager, enabling faster checkout
and easier self-checkout.
Eliminate Bluetooth interference with Wi-Fi Friendly Mode
Only operate on channels that are not shared with your wireless LAN
(WLAN), protecting service levels for workers and customers.
Capture multiple barcodes with one press of the scan trigger
Multi-code Data Formatting (MDF) provides the ability to capture
multiple barcodes and transmit only those required in the precise
order the application requires.
The DS8100 Series — when your business demands the ultimate in performance,
workforce productivity and customer service.

Capture drivers license data (DL version required)
With one press of the scan trigger, cashiers can capture and parse
data on drivers licenses to automatically populate a loyalty or credit
card application, verify age for age-restricted purchases and more.
Direct Decode Indicator improves productivity
Since the illumination on the barcode flashes to indicate a good
decode, workers never need to pause to make sure a barcode was
captured correctly.
Unrivaled manageability
Identify and correct problem barcodes with ScanSpeed Analytics
Get the information you need to spot and correct barcode issues
before they impact worker productivity and customer service quality.
Only from Zebra, ScanSpeed Analytics captures barcode type, scan
speed and more for every scanned barcode. And an image of the
barcode with the slowest scan time helps you proactively identify
and address issues to improve scan speed.
Visionary visibility into battery performance metrics
The PowerPrecision+ battery provides a wealth of health information,
including charge cycles consumed, a State-of-Health meter and
whether the battery can still hold a full charge. Now, you can easily
spot, order and replace aging batteries before battery failures
interrupt front end operations and cause checkout delays.
Control your scanners from a smartphone, tablet or PC
With this easy-to-use application, you can: control your imager’s
beeper, vibration and LED to set user alerts; display scanned
barcode data; access model and serial number; and access battery
statistics and more from Android, iOS and Windows smartphones,
tablets and PCs.
No-cost tools to meet advanced management needs
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to
program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across
the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service
(SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any DS8100
Series device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user
action is required — such as the scanning of a configuration barcode.
Easy application development
Get everything you need to easily integrate scanning into your
business applications with our Scanner Software Development Kits
(SDKs) for Windows, Android, iOS and Linux. These SDKs provide
documentation, drivers, test utilities and sample source code.
Simplify the entire scanning experience with DataCapture DNA
Hardware is just the start of what you need to maximize the value
of your scanners. The DS8100 Series is powered by DataCapture
DNA, a set of unique development, management, visibility and
productivity tools. Leveraging Zebra’s 50 years of innovation,
DataCapture DNA turns Zebra scanners into powerful tools
that lower your TCO and help workers get more done each day.
Decrease development cycles with development tools. Dramatically
simplify scanner deployments of any size with management tools.
Get the remote analytics you need to keep scanners up and running
with visibility tools. And reach new levels of productivity with
innovations that streamline tasks, allowing workers to capture the
data the drives your business, faster and easier than ever.
