Frequently Asked Questions
What barcode types can the Zebra DS4678 scanner read?
The DS4678 captures 1D and 2D barcodes, including UPC codes, DotCode, DataMatrix, and high-density codes found on jewelry tags. It can also read barcodes displayed on smartphones, printed labels, and even perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to capture data from ID cards and travel documents. This versatility makes it ideal for retail environments where you need to scan items of all sizes and barcode conditions.
How far away can the DS4678 scan barcodes?
The DS4678 offers a scan range of 28 inches (71 cm), allowing cashiers to scan items in a shopping cart while remaining seated at the cash wrap. This extended range is particularly useful for capturing UPC codes on bulky items at the bottom of a cart and for auxiliary handheld scanning in high-volume checkout lanes.
Is the DS4678 durable enough for a busy retail environment?
Yes, the DS4678 is engineered for day-in, day-out dependability with IP52 sealing to protect against spills and an exclusive double-sealed optical system that guards against dust and liquid. The scanner is designed to survive multiple 6 ft (1.8m) drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles in durability testing, making it ideal for high-traffic retail settings.
How long does the DS4678 battery last on a single charge?
The DS4678 supports over 50,000 scans in a single charge, providing more than 13 hours of continuous scanning. This full-shift power ensures your workers can rely on the scanner throughout their entire shift without needing to recharge.
Can the DS4678 work in both handheld and hands-free modes?
Yes, the DS4678 supports on-the-fly switching between handheld and hands-free modes. Simply place the scanner in the optional presentation stand or presentation cradle to automatically switch to hands-free mode; pick it up for handheld mode—no setting changes are required. Both cradles are cross-compatible with Zebra's DS8100 Series.
What connectivity options does the DS4678 offer?
The DS4678 features Standard Bluetooth Version 5.2 with BLE, offering Class 1 range up to 330 ft (100m) and Class 2 range up to 33 ft (10m) with adjustable power settings. It also includes Virtual Tether technology to prevent scanners from being taken beyond range or left out of cradle, and Wi-Fi Friendly Mode to eliminate wireless network interference.
