Description

Zebra DS8178-DL7U2100PFW Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra DS8178-DL7U2100PFW is a cordless 2D imager kit designed for high-volume scanning environments. This specific configuration includes the DS8178-DL scanner, a presentation cradle (CR8178-PC100F4WW), and a shielded USB cable (CBA-U21-S07ZBR). It's engineered for rapid data capture of 1D, 2D, and PDF barcodes, making it suitable for point-of-sale, inventory management, and logistics applications where speed and accuracy are critical. The presentation cradle allows for hands-free scanning, improving workflow efficiency.

Compatibility

This kit is designed to interface with systems via USB. The DS8178-DL scanner itself is part of the DS8100 series, offering cordless Bluetooth connectivity. The included USB cable and presentation cradle ensure compatibility with standard USB host ports found on PCs, POS terminals, and other computing devices. It supports common barcode symbologies including 1D, 2D, and PDF formats.

Installation Notes

The shielded USB cable (CBA-U21-S07ZBR) connects the presentation cradle to the host system. The scanner pairs wirelessly with the cradle. Ensure the host system's USB port can supply adequate power for the cradle and scanner charging functionality. The scanner's IP42 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and dripping water, but it is not intended for submersion or harsh industrial environments.
