Frequently Asked Questions
What barcode types can the Zebra DS3678-SR scanner read?
The DS3678-SR reads both 1D and 2D barcodes with its advanced imager, capturing them from near contact to nearly 5 feet away. It supports standard symbologies including Code 128 and Datamatrix, and can read barcodes even when they are under shrinkwrap, damaged, dirty, or poorly printed. The scanner also supports Digimarc digital watermark technology for invisible barcodes printed across product surfaces.
How durable is the DS3678-SR in harsh warehouse environments?
The DS3678-SR is the most rugged scanner in its class, engineered to survive an 8 ft./2.4 m drop to concrete and 7,500 tumbles simulating real-world impacts. It features dual IP65/IP68 sealing, making it dustproof, sprayproof, and waterproof—capable of being submerged in water and sprayed with jetting water. The scanner also operates reliably in extreme temperatures, including freezer environments, making it ideal for punishing warehouse and manufacturing conditions.
What wireless connectivity does the DS3678-SR offer?
The DS3678-SR is a cordless Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) scanner that provides lightning-fast wireless communication with maximum energy efficiency. Zebra's Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates wireless interference that Bluetooth devices typically create in Wi-Fi environments, ensuring reliable operation alongside your network infrastructure. The rugged IP65-sealed cradle is the only one in its class to offer this level of protection while supporting industrial charging contacts rated for 250,000 insertions.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
The DS3678-SR's PowerPrecision+ battery delivers more than 100,000 scans per charge—more than twice the amount of competitive models. The battery includes a first-in-class charge gauge and provides visibility into comprehensive health data, including charge cycles consumed, current battery status, and a State of Health meter that identifies whether batteries are healthy, degraded, or at end of life. This extended battery life enables workers to scan more items over longer periods without recharging.
What management and deployment tools are included with the DS3678-SR?
The DS3678-SR includes Zebra's DataCapture DNA technology platform—a comprehensive suite of intelligent firmware, software, utilities, and apps engineered exclusively for Zebra scanners. You can remotely configure scanners, upgrade firmware, format data for your backend systems, and monitor PowerPrecision+ battery statistics using 123Scan and Scanner Management Service (SMS). The scanner also supports Network Connect for Automation, delivering seamless integration with Industrial Ethernet networks without third-party conversion equipment.
Can the DS3678-SR capture multiple barcodes from a single label at once?
Yes, the DS3678-SR supports multi-code capture and processing, allowing it to capture up to 20 barcodes simultaneously with a single trigger press. The scanner automatically applies the unique data format required for each barcode and controls the order in which barcodes are processed before instant transmission to your backend systems. This capability significantly speeds up pick-list processing and reduces the time workers need to spend positioning individual barcodes in the field of view.
