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, everytime 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.

Purpose-Built for Healthcare

Instant Decoding with PRZM Intelligent Imaging

The DS2200-HC Series is engineered to ensure instant and accurate decoding of the many barcodes found at the point-of-care, labs and pharmacies. Only from Zebra, PRZM’s software decode algorithms deliver superior performance on poor quality and challenging barcodes. And a wide working range minimizes the precision needed when positioning the scanner for point-and-shoot simplicity. The result is the first-time, every-time scanning your caregivers need to improve patient safety and workflow efficiency.

Easy to Clean and Sanitize

Unlike general purpose scanners, the DS2200-HC Series features a disinfectant-ready housing designed to handle regular sanitizing with popular disinfectants.

“Do Not Disturb” Mode

Scanner feedback is critical, and so is the patient experience. For sound-sensitive environments, Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator projects illumination on the barcode to indicate a good decode. Clinicians instantly know if a medicine, wristband or IV bag was properly scanned, while patients aren’t disturbed by a loud beep.

Patent-Pending Technology for the Most Intuitive Aiming

An innovative aim line removes the guesswork by guiding clinicians to scan at the ideal distance from the barcode.

Full-Shift Battery Power Guaranteed

With 14 hours of power, your cordless DS2278-HC scanners are always available for use—there’s no need to waste valuable time recharging a battery during a clinician’s shift.

On-the-Fly Switching Between Handheld and Hands-Free Scanning

In the lab and pharmacy, some tasks may be better suited for handheld scanning and others for hands-free. With the DS2200-HC Series, switching modes is fast and easy. Simply place the scanner in the optional presentation stand to automatically switch to hands-free mode; then pick up the scanner for handheld mode.

The DS2200 Series — the affordability your budget demands, with the simple deployment, ease-of-use and manageability your business requires.

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.

Easiest pairing on the planet

With our industry-first Scan-to-Connect technology, your workers can pair the cordless DS2278 with any Bluetooth™-enabled PC, tablet or smartphone 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.
