APG PK-14A-K102 Accessory

The Zebra DS3608-ER delivers an extraordinary scanning range from 3 inches to 70 feet (7.6 cm to 21.4 m), enabling workers to capture barcodes both in-hand and on upper warehouse shelves. The advanced imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes up to 60 percent closer and 35 percent farther than similar models in its class, making it ideal for high-volume picking operations where speed and accuracy matter.

The DS3608-ER is built to survive an 8 ft./2.4 m drop to concrete and operates reliably after 5,000 tumbles, making it 23 percent more durable than competing scanners in its class. It features IP67 sealing (dust proof, spray proof, and waterproof), and its unique plastics and components are specifically engineered to handle extreme cold without becoming brittle, making it ideal for freezer and outdoor yard operations.

Yes, the DS3608-ER is a dual-format scanner that captures both 1D and 2D barcodes reliably in virtually any condition—including damaged, dirty, or poorly printed codes, as well as barcodes under shrinkwrap. It also supports Digimarc® digital watermark technology, allowing workers to scan invisible barcodes printed repeatedly across product surfaces without needing to locate and position a visible barcode.

The DS3608-ER is a corded scanner that connects directly to your network infrastructure and is compatible with Zebra's Network Connect for Automation for seamless Industrial Ethernet integration. We offer remote configuration, firmware upgrades, and monitoring through our complimentary 123Scan and Scanner Management Service (SMS) tools, plus the scanner includes Zebra's DataCapture DNA platform—a comprehensive suite of intelligent firmware, software, utilities, and apps to maximize operational efficiency.

The DS3608-ER features Multi-Code Capture technology that processes up to 20 barcodes simultaneously with a single trigger press, automatically applying the unique data format required for each barcode. This capability streamlines pick-list processing and eliminates manual data manipulation, allowing workers to capture the right barcodes instantly and transmit them to your backend systems with complete control over processing order.

The DS3608-ER is a corded scanner, while the DS3678-ER offers Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) wireless freedom with a sealed rugged cradle and PowerPrecision+ battery delivering over 70,000 scans per charge. Both models share the same ultra-rugged design, extended scanning range, and durability specs, but the DS3678-ER includes Wi-Fi Friendly Mode to prevent wireless interference and advanced battery health monitoring.
