The Zebra DS3678 is part of the DS3600 Ultra-Rugged Series, a line of cordless barcode scanners built for the most demanding environments, like warehouses, manufacturing floors, and freezers. It is a highly durable and high-performance scanner designed for industrial use.

Here is a breakdown of its key features and specifications:

Key Features

• Scanning Performance: It's an advanced 2D imager that can capture both 1D and 2D barcodes instantly and from a significant distance. The Extended Range (ER) models can read barcodes from as close as 3 inches to as far as 70 feet away, while the Standard Range (SR) models can read from near contact up to 5 feet.

• Ultra-Rugged Design: This is one of the most significant selling points. The DS3678 is designed to be virtually indestructible, with a drop specification of up to 8 feet (2.4 m) onto concrete and an industrial sealing rating of IP65 and IP67 for dust, spray, and water immersion. It can also operate in a wide range of temperatures, from freezer environments to extreme heat.

• Wireless Connectivity: It uses Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) for fast and reliable wireless communication. It also features Zebra's Wi-Fi Friendly Mode to prevent interference with your Wi-Fi network.

• Battery: It uses a PowerPrecision+ 3100 mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery that can deliver over 70,000 scans per full charge, ensuring long-lasting performance throughout a work shift.

• Multi-Code Capture: The scanner can capture and process multiple barcodes (up to 20) with a single trigger pull, which significantly improves efficiency in a fast-paced environment.

• Multiple Models: The DS3678 comes in several variants to suit different needs:

  • DS3678-SR: Standard Range

  • DS3678-ER: Extended Range

  • DS3678-HD: High-Density (for small, dense barcodes)

  • DS3678-HP: High Performance (with OCR, photo, and document capture capabilities)

  • DS3678-DP: Direct Part Marking (for codes etched directly onto parts)

• User Feedback: The scanner provides clear feedback with a direct decode indicator, LEDs, a beeper, and a vibration motor, which is especially useful in noisy industrial settings.
