And Zebra DNA enhances every stage of your scanning journey, from setup and security to management and optimization. The DS4600 Series — more data capture versatility, more range and more innovation.
Capture It All with the DS4600 Series
No matter what kind of data you need to capture in your store, the DS4600 Series is ready for the job. Scan 1D and 2D barcodes, whether they’re printed on a label or displayed on a phone. Capture DotCode and dotted DataMatrix barcodes through cellophane, as well as the tiny and dense barcodes found on jewelry tags. Read wide barcodes on packages and cartons in the backroom. You can even collect data from IDs and travel documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or parse driver’s license information for age verification, returns monitoring, loyalty and credit card applications. The result? Superior value. You can deploy a single scanner family for virtually every scanning need across your store.
Superior “Can’t Miss” Scanning Range
The DS4600-SR can capture UPC codes up to 28 in (71cm) away, enabling checkout associates and self-checkout users to easily reach heavy or bulky items at the bottom of the shopping cart. It’s ideal for adding handheld scanning to a bioptic scanner, such as Zebra’s MP72 Series, in high-volume checkout lanes.
Count On Zebra Performance to Keep Lines Moving
The 800 MHz microprocessor, high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology provide instant barcode capture on even the most challenging barcodes. An exclusive rear engine design enables the DS4600 Series to read wider barcodes at every distance, compared to other scanners with a similar field of view. As a result, associates can focus on your customers, rather than positioning items.
Day-in, Day-Out Dependability
The DS4600 Series is engineered for durability, inside and out. IP52 sealing protects against spills. An exclusive double-sealed optical system guards the critical optical components from dust and liquid — ensuring that the ‘eye’ of the scanner always captures the sharpest possible barcode image for fast, reliable decoding. The recessed scan window protects against smudges, dirt and scratches. And the scanner is built to survive multiple 6 ft (1.8m) drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles in our punishing tumble test.
On-the-Fly Switching Between Handheld and Hands-Free
Simply place the scanner in the optional presentation stand or presentation cradle to automatically switch to hands-free mode; pick up the scanner for handheld mode — no setting changes required.
Flexible Feedback Modes That Work for Any Retail Environment
The DS4600 Series offers multiple feedback modes including a good decode LED that’s visible from any position, a traditional beep tone with adjustable volume/frequency, and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects the illumination on the barcode
Enhance Inventory Management with GS1 Label Parsing
With Label Parse+, the DS4600 Series can instantly capture and parse GS1 label barcode data, enabling associates to capture expiration dates, lot number, manufacturing location and more.
Capture Multiple Barcodes With One Press of the Scan Trigger
With Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), the DS4600 Series can scan multiple barcodes with a single trigger pull and transmit only the barcodes you need, in the order your application expects.
Single Out One Barcode From Many
With Zebra’s Preferred Symbol, the DS4600 Series can capture and output only the preferred barcode, so workers no longer have to waste time physically covering nearby barcodes before scanning.
Deactivate EAS Tags While Scanning
Optional EAS support, available on the DS4600-HD/HL, allows associates to deactivate Checkpoint EAS tags while scanning the price, boosting productivity and preventing erroneous alarms
Streamline Data Collection With OCR
Support for OCR expedites the collection of data from ID cards and travel documents that may not have barcodes — speeding up checkout transactions in airport shops and other locations
Capture Driver’s License Data
Cashiers can capture and parse data information on driver’s licenses to automatically populate a loyalty or credit card application, verify age for restricted purchases, process a customer’s return and more.
Full-Shift Power Your Workers Can Count On
The DS4678 supports over 50,000 scans in a single charge — that’s more than 13 hours of continuous scanning.
Choice of Standard and Presentation Cradles
The Presentation Cradle provides convenient hands-free scanning and charges the battery during use. The Standard Cradle can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall or checkstand. Both cradles are cross compatible with Zebra’s DS8100 Series. And Zebra’s Connect+ Contact technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of the scanner.
Keep Track of Your Cordless Scanners
With Virtual Tether, you won’t have to worry about a customer accidentally leaving self-checkout with a cordless scanner. Both the scanner and cradle alert when a scanner is taken beyond its range or left out of the cradle for a predefined length of time.
Eliminate Wireless Network Interference with Wi-Fi Friendly Mode
Zebra’s exclusive Wi-Fi Friendly Mode ensures that cordless scanners won’t interfere and disrupt your Wi-Fi network.
Effortless Deployment
The DS4600 Series couldn’t be easier to setup. Right out of the box, the scanner is configured for the applications you use every day, while auto-host detect cables automatically select the right host interface — just plug in the scanner and you’re ready to go.
Make Data-Driven Decisions Informed by Your Scanners
Zebra’s IoT Connector is a fully automated real-time data collection tool that routes data from your scanners into your preferred IoT endpoint. By mining and analyzing the data, you can get the insights needed to make data-driven decisions in real time.
Up-to-the-Minute Insight into Every Aspect of Your Scanners
Remote Diagnostics automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, parameter settings and barcode data — giving you the information needed for troubleshooting, predictive fleet-wide trend analysis and more.
Zebra DNA — Set Up. Secure. Manage. Optimize.
With more than 50 years of field-proven innovation, Zebra knows the scanning journey better than other providers. That’s why we’ve engineered Zebra DNA into all of our scanners. This suite of software tools provides constant visibility, increases uptime and gives you the flexibility to respond to changing needs.
