In busy stores or warehouses a missed scan can cause long lines, lost inventory and unhappy customers. The problem gets worse when barcodes are damaged, printed poorly, or placed on a screen. You need a scanner that reads every code quickly, no matter the condition, so work keeps moving and errors stay low. The Zebra DS8178 handheld barcode reader solves this by delivering fast, reliable 1D and 2D scans at a distance of up to 61 cm.
