Cordless 2D imager for retail checkout

The Zebra DS8178-SR700000SFW is a handheld, cordless barcode scanner built for point-of-sale environments. It uses a 2D area imager with twin 645 nm red LEDs to read 1D and 2D symbols from paper labels or electronic screens. The scanner pairs with the included standard cradle and connects to the host via USB.

Sustained shift operation with smart battery

Zebra's exclusive PowerPrecision+ smart battery is designed to deliver reliable power throughout the busiest shifts without mid-day recharging. The imager maintains consistent decode performance on dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged barcodes as well as dim on-screen codes. A 48° H by 37° V field of view combined with ±60° pitch, ±360° roll and ±60° yaw tolerance reduces re-aiming effort during continuous scanning.

24 in scan range decides fit for counter layout

A maximum scanning distance of 24 in (61 cm) and a bright aiming spot determine whether this unit suits the checkout lane geometry. The scanner weighs 0.52 lb and withstands multiple 6.0 ft drops to concrete. It requires a USB cable (CBA-U21-S07ZBR) for host connection and operates from 5 V or 12 V host power.

Questions about this item

How much power does the DS8178-SR700000SFW draw from the USB port during a full day of scanning?

The scanner operates on 5 VDC at 4.7 to 5.5 V, drawing power from the host USB connection while seated in its cradle.

Which separate cable must I already have to connect the included CR8178-SC100F4WW cradle to my POS system?

You need a USB cable CBA-U21-S07ZBR; it is not included with the scanner and cradle kit.

Will the DS8178-SR700000SFW read barcodes printed on labels that my older 1D laser scanner could not decode?

Yes, its 2D area imager captures dense, poorly printed, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged 1D and 2D codes, plus electronic barcodes on dim displays.
