Does the DS2278 read QR codes and barcodes on phone screens?
Yes. The DS2278 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 cordless, and how do I pair it?
Yes, it is cordless over Bluetooth 4.0 and the cradle connects to your PC or POS by USB. To link it, scan the pairing barcode on the cradle. For a direct Bluetooth connection to a tablet or phone, the scanner supports Bluetooth HID and SPP. Full steps are in the Zebra quick start guide, or call our team on 1300 026 062.
What is the cradle for?
The included CR2278 presentation cradle charges the scanner and connects it to your computer or POS by USB. It also holds the scanner upright for hands-free presentation scanning, and it is powered by the USB host, so it needs no separate power supply.
How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?
The 2400 mAh battery delivers up to 14 hours of scanning, enough for a full shift. Charge it in about one hour by plugging a Micro USB cable straight into the scanner, or in about four hours by sitting it in the cradle between scans.
Will it work with my POS software?
In most cases, yes. Through the USB cradle the DS2278 presents 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. For a direct Bluetooth link to an iPad or Android app, check the app supports Bluetooth HID. Confirm against your POS provider's supported-hardware list, or call us on 1300 026 062 before you buy.
What warranty does it come with?
The Zebra DS2278 is covered by a 36 month (3 year) Return to Base warranty.
