The modern checkout area is more demanding than ever – more transactions, higher customer expectations, self-checkout systems, fraud prevention, and the desire for ever shorter queues. This is exactly where Zebra’s new handheld scanners, the DS8208 and DS8288, come into play. Equipped with PRZM technology and a powerful 2 MP sensor, they enable your customers to capture barcodes faster, more precisely, and from greater distances – both at the counter and on the go.
A real highlight of the DS82 series are the DS8208-R and DS8288-R models. They combine traditional barcode scanning with integrated RFID, instantly verifying whether the barcode and tag match – perfect for loss and fraud prevention. The hidden RFID antenna remains invisible to customers, and the new multifunction trigger accelerates processes by enabling quick switching between workflows, RFID activation, and custom retail actions.
The robust, ergonomic housing of the scanners is IP52-rated for protection against drops, dust and splashes. Thanks to Zebra DNA, they integrate seamlessly into existing systems and are centrally managed – including intelligent analytics and diagnostic tools. This combination of performance, mobility and durability makes the DS82 series ideal for those seeking greater speed and ease of use at the point of sale, as well as long-term security.
With a transmission range of up to 100 metres via Bluetooth 5.2, the DS8288 is ideal for use in mobile sales areas, stockrooms and click-and-collect zones. Its PowerPrecision+ battery enables up to 6,000 scans per charge, while the PowerCap allows for 100 scans after just 35 seconds of charging. The contactless charging system eliminates the need for exposed charging contacts – a major advantage in high-traffic environments.
