Retail stores and warehouses often lose money because scanners miss barcodes or read them slowly. When a scanner fails, lines get longer and workers become frustrated. The result is lower sales and unhappy customers. The Zebra DS8178-SR (DS8178-SRSF007ZZWW), 1D/2D Photo diode Handheld bar code reader fixes this by reading every code fast, even the damaged ones, so you can keep the flow moving and keep shoppers happy.
