With the DS8178, Zebra offers a mobile and extremely powerful 1D/2D area imager featuring an 800 MHz microprocessor. This high-performance scanner reads even dirty, faded, and problematic barcodes in poor quality from distances of up to 61 cm in seconds—also from a smartphone display—thanks to its integrated high-resolution sensor and Zebra's PRZM technology. Bluetooth 4.0 ensures a reliable connection with any BT-enabled computer, smartphone, or tablet at distances of up to 100 m. Zebra's Wi-Fi-friendly mode prevents interference between the scanner and customer or employee Wi-Fi connections. In addition to all standard 1D and 2D barcodes, the DS8178 also supports digital watermarks or Digimarc barcodes. These barcodes are invisible to the human eye and are distributed across the product packaging—there's no need to rotate or flip the item; the DS8178 can read the barcode from any angle. With Zebra's free remote software SMS (Scanner Management Service), you can easily manage and configure the DS8178 and many other models worldwide from your PC, smartphone, or tablet.
