Zebra DS3678-HP3U4212SKW Barcode Scanner Overview
Unstoppable performance with the versatility of a keypad and color display
Warehouses, retailers and manufacturers face unrelenting pressure to deliver more - and to do it faster and more accurately. Rise to meet the challenge with the DS3600-KD Ultra-Rugged Scanner with Keypad and Color Display. Built for your toughest environments, the DS3600-KD is virtually indestructible, including an enhanced 10 ft./3 m drop spec to concrete. The scanner reads barcodes in any condition, whether they're in hand or as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Workers can key in data, such as adding quantity and location, with the ergonomic keypad and color display. Pre-built applications offer the same 'point and shoot' simplicity of a scanner and enable workers to complete picking, putaway and inventory tasks with amazing efficiency and accuracy. And DataCapture DNA, Zebra's exclusive software ecosystem, takes scanner performance far beyond the basics - simplifying every stage of the scanning experience over the life of your device.
Scan it all - at astonishing speeds
Workers can capture virtually any 1D or 2D barcode as fast as they can pull the trigger, from as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Powered by Zebra's exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology and the highest sensor resolution in its class, the DS3600-KD instantly captures the most problematic barcodes - including barcodes that are dirty, damaged, poorly printed and under shrinkwrap.
Tackle more tasks with groundbreaking versatility
Make picking, inventory and point of sale tasks more efficient with the keypad and color display. The ergonomic backlit keypad is well designed for one-handed operation. The color display provides a more intuitive, modern experience and the display brightness automatically adjusts for easy viewing in any lighting condition.
Pre-built applications ready to use right out of the box
The DS3600-KD takes the complexity out of app development and integration. Start using our pre-built applications on day one - including the ability to add quantity and/or location data to any scanned barcode, confirm that the contents inside a container match the outer label, and even add location data during inventory counts while roaming away from the host. There's virtually no learning curve for workers - if they can use a scanner, they can use the pre-built applications. And the ability for future customization can meet specific application needs
