The DS2208 is a 1D/2D imager that captures both linear and 2D codes. It decodes 1D symbologies including Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, Codabar, UPC/EAN, and GS1 DataBar, plus 2D formats like QR Code, DataMatrix, PDF417, Aztec, and Micro QR. This makes it ideal for modern retail environments where customers present both traditional barcodes and digital coupons or loyalty cards at checkout.

The PM9100 series features Datalogic's innovative green 'laser-like' acquisition system based on a miniaturized scan engine with outstanding 1D decoding capability. It also includes the exclusive 3GL™ (3 Green Lights) technology for superior good-read feedback, combining a green spot on the code, dual good-read LEDs, and a loud beeper to confirm successful scans.

The PM9500 offers versatile reading ranges depending on barcode resolution, from contact distance up to over 1.0 meter (3.3 feet). For standard applications, 4-mil codes read from 6.0 to 17.0 cm, while larger 40-mil codes extend to 85.0 cm (33.4 inches). The exact range depends on barcode resolution, contrast, and ambient light conditions.

The DS2208 is a corded model that connects via USB cable, making it ideal for fixed POS stations. If you need cordless flexibility, we offer the DS2278 as an alternative option. Both models deliver the same scanning performance and ease of deployment.

Yes, the PM9500 is a 2D area imager that reads both 1D and 2D codes including Data Matrix and PDF417. It features omnidirectional reading capabilities, meaning it can decode barcodes at any orientation without repositioning. This makes it ideal for warehouse and logistics environments where barcode placement varies.

The PM9100 operates on Datalogic's STAR Cordless System™ 2.0, a proprietary narrow band radio system available in both 433 MHz and 910 MHz frequencies. It supports point-to-point and multi-point transmission, seamless roaming for complex installations, and works without interference from existing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth solutions.

The DS2208 USB Kit includes the corded area imager scanner, a USB cable, and a stand for hands-free operation at your checkout counter. The scanner arrives pre-configured and ready to use right out of the box, requiring no complex setup.

The PM9500 is equipped with Datalogic's proprietary STAR Cordless System for narrow-band radio communications, which is specifically designed for handheld scanner data collection. The new generation STAR-System improves versatility, ease of use, and radio range compared to previous models, making it suitable for demanding warehouse applications.

Yes, the PM9100 is specifically designed for warehouse and logistics centers, including shipping/receiving, parcel preparation, picking/put away, and automatic sorting operations. Its rugged design with IP65 water and particulate sealing, combined with fast 1D decoding performance, makes it ideal for demanding warehouse environments.

The DS2208 offers standard range scanning capabilities with typical decode distances of 0.2 inches for near range and up to 6.0 inches for far range on 5 mil Code 39 barcodes. This performance range is designed for typical POS counter distances where customers present items for scanning.

The PM9100 series is available in multiple configurations: a basic cordless model without display, a model with display and 4-key keyboard, and a model with display and 16-key keypad. This allows you to choose the interface that best fits your specific operational needs.

The PM9500 comes in two display configurations: a 4-key keypad model and a full 16-key keyboard model. Both feature a graphic display with white backlight for clear visibility in various lighting conditions. The configurable keys enable two-way communication between the scanner and host system for more reliable data exchange.

The DS2208 includes a five-year hardware warranty against defects in workmanship and materials from the date of shipment. We recommend pairing your scanner with Zebra OneCare Select or OneCare Essential service plans for extended support and maintenance coverage across your locations.

The PM9100 has been tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions and features an IP65 rating for water and particulate sealing. It includes in-field replaceable windows and cradle contacts for easy maintenance, plus Datalogic's Motionix™ motion-sensing technology and an ergonomic shape designed for tough industrial applications.

Yes, the PM9500 is specifically designed as a ruggedized cordless reader for all demanding applications. It features Datalogic's 3GL (Three Green Lights) technology and dual good-read LEDs with adjustable beeper for reliable feedback in high-volume scanning environments. The scanner weighs between 380-414 grams and maintains reading performance across a wide pitch (+/- 40°) and roll (360°) range.

Yes, we offer no-cost management tools including the Scanner Management Service (SMS) for remote scanner management and asset tracking, plus 123Scan for programming parameters and firmware updates across your fleet. The Symbol Scanner SDK also allows you to develop custom scanning applications tailored to your specific business needs.

The PM9100 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery that replaces in just 3 seconds, minimizing downtime during shifts. This quick-swap design allows you to maintain continuous operations by having spare batteries readily available without waiting for extended charging periods.

The PM9500 is sold as a scanner-only unit, so you'll need to purchase the necessary interface cables and base/charger cradle separately. The BC9180 base/charger is available and includes options for both standard Ethernet and Industrial Ethernet protocols like Ethernet IP and Modbus.
