  • Create the next generation, entry level, presentation scanner that meets the needs of our customers where space is at a premium, and product reliability and ease of use are critical. The design should be appropriate for multiple environments ranging from Healthcare to Retail. Stay within tight cost targets to meet needed margins but still have a premium look and feel.

  • With a near-zero footprint, there’s always room for the DS9300 Series. Recessed LEDs are virtually invisible and automatically dim when not in use — reducing eye annoyance. The scanner’s ratcheting base offers four positions for convenient scanning, and its frictionless design won’t wear out. Drops, dust and spills are no problem for the DS9300 Series. It’s built to handle 5 ft./1.5 m drops to concrete and 1,000 consecutive 1.5 ft./0.5 m tumbles. And thanks to IP52 sealing and a patent-pending opto-mechanical layout that includes a concealed beeper hole with elevated circuitry and cable connector, even the base is spill proof.

  • The DS9208 is our best-selling presentation scanner, and the DS9308 is projected to continue with its success. The internal components are based on a new patent-pending opto-mechanical layout which helped to reduce costs and increase overall reliability to give our customers many years of class leading performance.

  • Can’t-miss Scanning: Swipe speeds are up to 50% faster than competitive scanners. Largest field of view in this class. Feedback is Always Visible and Audible: Adjustable volume, frequency and duration of the beeper to ensure associates hear the tone of a successful scan. Bright green “good decode” LED is visible in front or behind scanner. Multiple Mounting Options: The “slipper” style multi-mount accessory keeps the scanner in place on a table or wall without restricting the tilt range or the ability to remove the scanner for handheld use. A locking-mount accessory for applications where the scanner should not be removed. Drops, Dust and Spills: Built to handle 5 ft./1.5 m drops to concrete. Spills and dust won’t slow it down. IP52 sealing and concealed beeper hole with elevated circuitry and cable connector. Multi-Position Base: The ratcheting base offers four positions, from 15° back to 45° forward. This frictionless system won’t wear out. Automatically Deactivate Anti-theft Tags: a single pass captures barcodes and deactivates Electronic Article Surveillance tags. Intelligent Adaptive Illumination: The LEDs dynamically adapt to the environment, automatically dimming when not in use and activated when a barcode is present. The LEDs are recessed and virtually invisible, reducing eye annoyance.
