Zebra, DS3678-HD

Zebra DS3600-HD Series Ultra-Rugged High Density Barcode Scanners

Introduction

The Zebra DS3600-HD Series is engineered for organizations that need to capture extremely small, dense or difficult-to-read barcodes. Available as the DS3608-HD (corded) and DS3678-HD (Bluetooth wireless), the HD Series excels at reading high-density 1D and 2D barcodes commonly found on electronics, medical devices, printed circuit boards, semiconductor components and precision manufacturing parts.

Unlike standard industrial scanners that are optimized for general warehouse labels, the HD Series is specifically tuned for tiny barcode elements while still providing the rugged durability expected from Zebra's Ultra-Rugged 3600 family.
