The Zebra DS3600-ER Ultra-Rugged Scanner is engineered to provide reliable and high-speed capture of 1D and 2D barcodes, including those that are dirty, damaged, poorly printed, or under shrinkwrap. It offers scanning capabilities from near contact up to nearly 70 feet (21.4 meters) away, making it ideal for various applications such as shipping and receiving, small item pick and pack, and manufacturing work-in-process.
Built to withstand the harshest conditions, the DS3600-ER features an ultra-rugged design with a 10-foot (3-meter) drop specification to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. It also boasts dual IP65/IP68 sealing, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress, and can operate in extreme temperatures, including freezer environments.
The scanner is equipped with Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology, delivering fast and accurate barcode capture. It also supports Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), allowing users to capture multiple barcodes with a single scan and transmit only the necessary data.
