Frequently Asked Questions
What barcode types can the Zebra DS9308 scan?
The DS9308 captures 1D and 2D barcodes including tiny high-density codes, codes on labels or phone displays, DotCode, dotted DataMatrix codes through cellophane, and invisible Digimarc codes. Its 800 MHz processor and megapixel sensor with Zebra's exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology easily handle poorly printed, damaged, crinkled, faded, truncated, and low-contrast barcodes in virtually any condition.
Is the DS9308 durable enough for retail environments with spills and drops?
Yes—the DS9308 is built for durability with IP52 sealing, a 5 ft./1.5 m drop specification to concrete, and 1,000 consecutive 1.5 ft./0.5 m tumbles. Its patent-pending opto-mechanical layout includes a concealed beeper hole with elevated circuitry and spill-proof base design, making it ideal for quick-serve restaurants, convenience stores, and other high-impact retail settings.
Can the DS9308 parse driver's licenses and deactivate security tags?
The DS9308 offers optional driver's license parsing for North America, allowing you to instantly verify age, populate loyalty applications, and monitor returns to prevent fraud. It also supports Checkpoint Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag deactivation, enabling a single pass to capture barcodes and deactivate anti-theft tags for faster checkout.
What is the scanning speed of the DS9308 compared to other presentation scanners?
The DS9308 delivers swipe speeds up to 50% faster than competitive presentation scanners, allowing it to capture barcodes as quickly as they are presented. Combined with the largest field of view in its class, this eliminates the need to move items around to find the optimal scanning angle.
Is the DS9308 backwards compatible with older Zebra scanner equipment?
Yes—the DS9308 is backwards compatible with DS9208 cables and power supplies, allowing you to upgrade cost-effectively to today's advanced scanning technologies without replacing your existing infrastructure. It also features plug-and-play instant deployment with optimized default settings and auto-host detect cables for popular interfaces.
What mounting options are available for the DS9308?
The DS9308 includes a flexible ratcheting base with four positions ranging from 15° back to 45° forward, plus a frictionless system that won't wear out. We offer multiple mounting accessories including a 'slipper' style multi-mount for table or wall placement without restricting tilt or handheld removal, and a locking-mount for fixed applications like self-checkout stations.
