The tiny DS457 is ideal where a zero or minimal footprint is required. The device can be mounted just about anywhere and can be used as either a standalone scanner or integrated into the most space-constrained products to bring world-class scanning performance to mobile computers, handheld scanners, self-service kiosks, medical and diagnostic instruments, lottery terminals and more.
GET HANDS-FREE CONVENIENCE AND EXTRAORDINARY SCANNING SPEED ON ANY BAR CODE...ON ANY SURFACE
Enable high-volume hands-free scanning from the retail POS and airport boarding gate to the manufacturing production line with the Zebra DS457. With comprehensive data capture, your workers can scan virtually any bar code - including 1-D, 2-D and direct part marks. No matter what type of bar code is presented, or whether it is printed on a paper label, etched into a product or displayed on a mobile phone screen, breakthrough digital imaging technology delivers extraordinary scanning speed. The tiny footprint fits in the most space constrained areas. Workers can choose presentation or trigger-activated mode, providing the flexibility for a wide variety of applications. And while the DS457 can be integrated into a wide variety of products, its sleek design is just as at home in customer-facing areas, such as a retail counter.
TRUE BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE ON ALL BAR CODES
With stunning performance on virtually every bar code - 1-D and 2-D plus direct part marks - your workers can capture bar codes as fast as they can present items for scanning. There is never a need to pause between scans, protecting productivity.
FITS IN THE SMALLEST OF SPACES
The tiny DS457 is ideal where a zero or minimal footprint is required. At just 1.15 in. H x 2.3 in. L x 2.44 in. W (2.92 cm H x 5.84 cm L x 6.2 cm W), this device can be mounted just about anywhere - attached to the register or under the counter for a true zero footprint on the retail cashwrap to a space-constrained manufacturing cell or airport gate.
SCAN BAR CODES ON PRACTICALLY ANY SURFACE - INCLUDING MOBILE PHONE DISPLAYS
Your customers are rapidly adopting mobile bar codes - electronic versions of tickets, boarding passes and loyalty cards that can be carried right in the mobile phone. Since the DS457 can read bar codes on mobile phone and computer displays, you're ready for this next generation bar code, protecting customer convenience, customer service quality and employee productivity.
FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO INTEGRATE
The DS457 can be used as a standalone scanner or integrated into the most space-constrained products to bring world-class scanning performance to mobile computers, handheld scanners, self-service kiosks, medical and diagnostic instruments, lottery terminals and more. Integration into your product designs is easy - there is no optical, mechanical or electrical engineering required. And in the event you already have a Zebra Miniscan deployed today, the common interface allows you to simply swap scanners to cost-effectively boost scanning performance and quality - no re-tooling or redesign of the installation area are required.
USERS ARE UP AND RUNNING IN MINUTES
Full omni-directional scanning eliminates the need to precisely align bar code and imager. A unique aiming pattern with a bright central dot ensures quick, accurate scanning - even in the brightest lighting. The result is a highly intuitive scanning function that increases worker productivity, virtually eliminating the need and cost associated with training.
