Escáner Zebra Ds4608 Sr 1D/2D con cable USB estándar

Key Features

• In the box: Scanner, a 7 ft shielded USB cable and the 20-71043-04R hands-free stand.
• Reads 1D, 2D and postal codes, including PDF417, DataMatrix, QR, Aztec and MaxiCode, plus OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR.
• Corded scanner with no radio and no battery, so there is nothing to charge and nothing to pair.
• Reads a 20 mil Code 39 from contact out to 44 inches, and a 100% UPC from contact out to 28 inches.
• Pitch and skew tolerance of plus or minus 60 degrees and full 360-degree roll, so the operator does not have to aim.
• Works from total darkness to 10,000 foot candles, which covers a dim stockroom and a sunlit loading door alike.
• Rated for repeated 6 ft drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles in a half-metre tumbler.
• IP52 sealed against dust and dripping water.
• Speaks USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge and IBM 46XX over RS-485, so it drops into legacy point-of-sale as easily as a PC.
• Weighs 5.7 oz, so an operator scanning all shift is not fighting the tool.
• Carries a five-year Zebra warranty, the longest of any scanner in this range.

Kit contents

This is the full kit: the scanner, the CBA-U21-S07ZBR shielded USB cable at 7 ft, and the 20-71043-04R hands-free stand. The stand is passive. It holds the scanner at a reading angle so an operator can present items to it with both hands free, and because the DS4608 is corded and takes its power from the host cable, the stand needs no supply of its own and nothing plugs into it. That is the difference between this part number and the AZW kit, which is the same scanner and the same cable with no stand. One further caution: the DS4608 stand is 20-71043-04R and the LI2208 stand is 20-61022-04R. They are not interchangeable.

Imaging engine

The DS4608 is an area imager rather than a laser, and on a general-purpose counter that is the distinction that matters. A laser sweeps a line and needs the code lined up with it; an imager takes a picture and decodes whatever is in the frame, which is why this scanner tolerates 60 degrees of pitch, 60 degrees of skew and a full 360 degrees of roll. In practice the operator drags the item past the window at whatever angle it arrives at and it reads. It also means the scanner handles codes a laser cannot see at all: DataMatrix on a circuit board, a QR code on a phone screen, PDF417 on a driving licence, and the postal symbologies on inbound parcels.

Working range

Working range is the specification that decides whether a scanner suits a bench or a stockroom, and Zebra publishes it per symbology rather than as a single headline. A 20 mil Code 39 reads from contact out to 44 inches, so a pallet label can be read from a step back without leaving the aisle. A 100% UPC at 13 mil reads from contact to 28 inches. At the other end a 3 mil code is the smallest this engine resolves, and a 5 mil Code 39 wants to be held between 0.7 and 11 inches. Ambient light tolerance runs from complete darkness to 10,000 foot candles, which is the practical difference between a scanner that works at a sunlit dock door and one that does not.

Build and warranty

This is a corded scanner. There is no radio, no battery and no cradle in the design, which removes a whole category of failure: nothing to charge overnight, nothing to pair, no handset walking off to another bench. Zebra rates the housing for repeated 6 ft drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles in a half-metre tumbler, and seals it to IP52 against dust and dripping water. At 5.7 oz it is light enough that an operator working a full shift is not fighting it. Zebra warrants the DS4608 for five years from shipment, which is the longest term on any scanner in this range and is worth weighing against a cheaper unit carrying one.

Host connections

Host support is broader than the USB most buyers arrive looking for. The DS4608 speaks USB Certified, RS-232, keyboard wedge and TGCS over IBM 46XX RS-485, and the interface is set by the cable and a configuration barcode rather than by a different part number. That RS-485 support is the one worth noting, because it is what lets a current scanner attach to an IBM point-of-sale lane that would otherwise force a legacy purchase. Changing host type later means buying the right cable, not replacing the scanner, so a bench that moves from a PC to a till does not strand the hardware.

Where it fits

This is a general-purpose scanner, which in practice means retail checkout, pharmacy, warehouse receiving, light manufacturing and any back office that has to read whatever turns up on a carton. The case for it over a 1D linear imager is simple: if any part of the workflow touches a 2D code, a linear scanner cannot do the job at all, and 2D codes are now on driving licences, mobile coupons, vaccination records, shipping labels and circuit boards. The case for it over a more rugged industrial scanner is cost and weight. This unit is built for a bench and a counter, not for a forklift and a freezer, and the IP52 rating is where that line sits.
