Exceptional Scanning. Unmatched Innovation. Ready for What’s Ahead.
In today’s fast-paced environments, keeping customers happy requires a new kind of scanner. The DS82 Series features a multi-function button to streamline workflows, RFID to boost inventory accuracy and an advanced 2MP optical system captures more barcodes with greater accuracy.
As the next evolution in premier handheld scanning, the DS82 Series empowers retailers to meet today’s challenges with confidence—boosting efficiency and delivering exceptional customer service at every touchpoint. The DS8208 corded scanner and the DS8288 cordless scanner provide the speed and reliability associates need to keep transactions moving - from staffed lanes and self-checkout to curbside pickup and returns. The DS8208-R corded scanner and the DS8288-R cordless scanner combine barcode and RFID reading in one sleek device, enabling item-level visibility that helps reduce shrink, detect loss, and improve inventory control. Setting a new benchmark for scan performance, the DS82 Series captures more barcodes with every trigger pull to make scanning faster and easier than ever.
With a 2MP optical system and PRZM Intelligent Imaging, the DS82 Series delivers class-leading scan volume to capture more barcodes in a single trigger pull.
A secondary multi-function button can be programmed for specific tasks to streamline workflows and boost productivity.
The high-resolution 2MP sensor supports advanced vision applications such as fraud detection and item verification.
The Zebra DNA for Scanners suite of software ensures maximum visibility, uptime and adaptability including Virtual Tether anti-loss and IoT Connector real-time data collection tools.
The DS8288 has inductive charging which delivers maintenance-free contactless charging while the PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap supercapacitor deliver all-day, on-the-go power.
The RFID models have an integrated RFID antenna that reads tags to capture detailed item-level data, supporting everything from precise inventory tracking to loss detection and shrink reduction.
Elevate Performance with Every Scan
With an advanced 2 MP optical system and PRZM intelligent imaging, the DS82 and DS82-HC Series sets a new standard for scan performance - delivering speed, precision and ease like never before.
Streamlined and Smarter Operations
A programmable multi-function button helps associates and clinicians manage multiple workflows more efficiently and a 2 MP sensor enables vision applications that help reduce fraud and shrink. The DS82-R features integrated RFID, so you have the ability to layer barcode scans and RFID tag reads from a single device for more precise inventory tracking, smoother stock management and reduced shrink.
Built for Rigorous Cleaning
The DS82-HC Series features a sealed, disinfectant-ready design that stands up to aggressive cleaning. A sealed inductive trigger and contactless charging eliminate common points of microbial buildup. Antimicrobial labels add another layer of protection to help support infection-control efforts.
Boost Productivity with Faster, Smarter, and More Efficient Scanning Zebra redefined scanning with PRZM Intelligent Imaging—a powerful suite of technologies that enables faster, more accurate, and longer-range barcode capture, even on the most challenging codes. Now, with an advanced 2 MP optical system, the DS82 Series sets a new standard for scanning performance—delivering speed, precision, and ease like never before. It’s ready for what’s next—with a single trigger pull, it instantly reads both traditional 1D UPC and emerging 2D Digital Link codes on product packaging. A wide scanning range—up to 28 inches (70 cm) for UPC codes and 19 inches (48 cm) for 2D QR codes—makes it easy to capture hard-to-reach items, including those at the bottom of shopping carts.
UNLOCK NEW POSSIBILITIES WITH ZEBRA-EXCLUSIVE INNOVATIONS
Multi-function button: customize your workflow with ease A multi-function button acts as a secondary trigger, giving you the flexibility to assign it to the tasks that matter most to your workflow. Whether switching between POS and returns applications or activating RFID reads, this customizable button streamlines everyday tasks—helping users work more efficiently and with greater ease.
Smarter operations with integrated RFID DS82 Series RFID models bring together barcode scanning and RFID in a sleek, easy-to-use handheld—giving retailers the ability to layer data from both sources for more precise inventory tracking, smoother stock management, and reduced shrink. For example, verifying that a scanned barcode matches the RFID tag on an item can help prevent fraud and catch mismatches before they become losses. The RFID antenna is concealed, so it won’t interrupt the checkout experience—customers won’t even know it’s there. And the adjustable read range helps avoid interference from nearby lanes or aisles.
Future-ready innovation at the POS with vision technology The exclusive 2 MP sensor supports third-party vision applications that can enable real-time item recognition and verification to streamline transactions and reduce self-checkout shrink. Designed with flexibility in mind, the high-resolution sensor is ready to support emerging POS innovations—making it a smart, long-term investment for forward-thinking retailers.
CUTTING-EDGE POWER FOR LONGER, UNINTERRUPTED SHIFTS
Maintenance-free contactless charging Wirelessly charge your scanners with inductive technology—no physical contacts needed. This contactless design is easy to clean, minimizes wear and tear, and extends device and cradle lifecycles by eliminating the need for charging contact maintenance.
Three days of uninterrupted performance with PowerPrecision+ battery Cordless models offer two interchangeable power options to fit any workflow: the PowerPrecision+ battery and PowerCap™ supercapacitor. When workers need all-day, on-the-go power, the PowerPrecision+ battery delivers—offering up to 100,000 scans per charge and 25% longer life than competitive models. Advanced battery management tools help monitor and optimize battery health for maximum efficiency. And optional battery maintenance services reduce the cost of battery replacement over a scanner’s lifespan and ensure workers have a healthy, fully charged battery for every shift.
PowerCap™ supercapacitor: hassle-free power built for longevity For a greener, worry-free alternative to batteries, the PowerCap™ supercapacitor offers long-lasting performance. It provides up to 6,000 scans per charge—double the capacity of its predecessor and eight times more than competing models. The PowerCap can hold its charge for hours and offers ultra-fast charging (ready for 100 scans in just 35 seconds), minimizing downtime and ensuring operations run smoothly. And you can swap the PowerCap and battery on any cordless model at any time.
Avoid downtime with convenient power monitoring A dedicated power gauge lets workers quickly verify charge levels at the start of a shift, helping ensure devices are ready to go—and preventing unexpected downtime.
A SMART INVESTMENT FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE
Durable design lowers costs and keeps operations moving The DS82 Series is made to handle real-world retail environments. It’s sealed to keep out dust and spills, and the deeply recessed scan window helps prevent smudges, scratches, and dirt buildup. It’s tough, too—built to survive 6 ft. (1.8 m) drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles, so you can count on it to keep working shift after shift. That kind of durability means less downtime, fewer replacements, and a lower total cost of ownership.
Intelligent illumination improves the customer experience and lowers costs In presentation mode, infrared technology activates illumination only when an object is detected—enabling comfortable, hands-free scanning without unnecessary lighting. This intelligent illumination lowers power consumption while creating a more pleasant experience for users and customers alike.
Never lose a cordless scanner again Zebra’s Virtual Tether ensures cordless scanners remain where they belong. If a scanner is taken out of range or left out of the cradle too long, both the scanner and cradle emit alerts. For misplaced devices, a quick press of the cradle’s paging button instantly locates the scanner, keeping operations organized and efficient.
