Spec Sheet

quick scan enables the automatic and accurate capture of the information required to increase productivity and reduce
errors. At the receiving dock, a scan of the bar code on the boxes, pallets or bill of lading enables automatic
reconciliation of incoming shipments for faster processing of incoming goods. In put-away and picking, a quick scan
can determine where product should be stored and also verify that product was placed on the right shelf, virtually
eliminating false out-of-stocks due to misplacement ' and lost sales. In shipping, a quick scan verifies that the right
shipment is addressed to the right person, eliminating costly mis-ships. In addition to improving the efficiency of
inventory management, this device can also provide invaluable photographic proof of condition. For example, with a
quick press of the trigger, a worker can capture a photograph of a damaged shipment or product.
DS3508-HD: Optimized for comprehensive 2-D bar code capture
The DS3508-HD offers the same capabilities as the DS3508-SR, but adds optimization for the very tiny and dense 2-
D bar codes frequently found in warehousing, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing environments. In
manufacturing operations, the DS3508-HD allows even small parts with small bar code labels to be easily scanned to
verify that the right part is used at the right time. As a result, product quality improves, increasing customer
satisfaction and retention. Real-time inventory visibility allows manufacturers to reduce standard stocking levels,
reducing warehouse space requirements and increasing inventory turns and profitability. And in the event you are
notified of a defective part, you can easily trace the location of defective product for more rapid and targeted recalls,
protecting brand image, customer perception and recall costs. And companies involved in warehousing, shipping and
delivery of smaller items can easily read the small, dense 2-D bar codes that may be utilized on smaller packages.
DS3508-DP: Comprehensive IUID-enabled scanner with support for 1-D, 2-D and DPM bar codes
This powerful scanner combines highly advanced DPM-specific software with the functionality of the DS3508-SR, the
focusing capability of the DS3508-HD and integrated IUID parsing capability. This single cost-effective device
provides government agencies and industrial manufacturers ' including automotive, aerospace and medical ' with the
ability to capture all 1-D and 2-D bar codes as well as every type of direct part mark. Comprehensive IUID support
enables the capture and processing of Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) ' the scanner can validate, read, separate and
transmit the right information to your application. And field upgradable construct tables future-proof your IUID
applications.
Reduce capital and operational expenses
The ability to capture 1-D and 2-D bar codes as well as direct part marks with a single device eliminates the need to
purchase, manage and maintain multiple devices to accommodate multiple bar code symbologies in the enterprise. As
a result, the enterprise enjoys a fast return on investment. Since one device does it all, capital and operational costs
are reduced ' and productivity is increased. In addition, IT departments can dramatically reduce the time, cost and
logistical headaches associated with scanner configuration and management with Zebra's 123Scan Configuration
Utility and Remote Scanner Management (RSM) technology, both of which are supported on the DS3508 Series.
123Scan is a powerful PC-based software tool that provides rapid and easy scanner set-up and customization. RSM
enables remote, network-based device management from a central location.
An investment for now and the future
In addition to the productivity-enhancing features you need to keep business moving, the DS3508 Series provides you
with investment protection. Onboard support for multiple interfaces, a standard feature, allows you to use your
scanner with many different types of systems for seamless integration now, as well as painless migration to the new
systems of the future. We back up our leading scanner design with a full three-year warranty. And to help protect your
investment, Zebra offers Service from the Start with Comprehensive Coverage. This unique service goes far beyond
normal wear and tear to include accidental damage to exit windows, scan elements and more at no additional charge.
