Does the DS2208 read QR codes and barcodes on phone screens?
Yes. The DS2208 is a 2D area imager, so it reads 1D and 2D barcodes including QR Code, Data Matrix and PDF417, on paper and on a phone or monitor screen, such as mobile coupons, loyalty cards and e-tickets.
Is it handheld or hands-free?
Both. The DS2208 is a handheld scanner, and this kit includes a stand so you can sit it upright for hands-free presentation scanning at the counter, then lift it out to scan larger or fixed items by hand.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. The DS2208 is a corded scanner that draws power over its USB cable, so it is always ready with nothing to charge or pair. If you need a cordless option, see the Zebra DS2278 in the comparison above.
Will it work with my POS software?
In most cases, yes. The DS2208 connects over USB as an HID keyboard-wedge, so it types scanned data straight into the active field and works with the majority of POS and inventory systems with no driver. Some cloud POS platforms certify only specific models, so confirm against your POS provider's supported-hardware list, or call our team on 1300 026 062 before you buy.
How do I set it up?
Plug the USB cable into your POS terminal or PC and the scanner powers on, ready to scan in its default USB HID mode. To change settings such as a prefix, suffix or a specific POS mode, scan the configuration barcodes in the quick start guide. If you are unsure which mode your POS needs, contact POS Sales for help.
What warranty does it come with?
The Zebra DS2208 is covered by a 36 month (3 year) Return to Base warranty.
