Scanning Performance and Technology:

• Class-leading Range: Scans barcodes from less than 2 inches (5 cm) to over 105 feet (32 m), which is over 25% farther than other products in its class.
• High Visibility Aimer: Features a green laser aimer with a wide crosshair pattern that is up to 7x more visible than a red dot, making it easy to aim indoors and outdoors, even in direct sunlight up to 10 feet (3 m).
• Advanced Imaging: Uses Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology for unmatched performance on various 1D, 2D, paper, and mobile barcodes, even those that are scratched, dirty, high density, or under shrinkwrap/frost.
• IntelliFocus™ Technology: Delivers optimal performance across the entire scanning range and in different lighting conditions.
• Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF): Can capture up to 20 barcodes with a single scan and transmit only the required barcodes in a specific order.
• Label Parse+: Instantly captures and parses GS1 label barcode data on items, including expiration dates and lot numbers.

Durability and Ruggedness:

• Ultra-Rugged Design: The most indestructible design in its class, built for harsh environments.
• Drop and Tumble Specifications: Survives 10-foot (3 m) drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles.
• Sealing: Has a dual IP65/IP68 sealing, making it dustproof, resistant to jetting water, and able to be submerged in water.
• Environmental Resistance: Built to withstand extreme heat, cold, and humidity, and can be used in freezers.
• Ultra-Rugged Cradle: The 3600 Series cradle has IP65 sealing and industrial charging contacts that can withstand 250,000 insertions.

   

Power and Connectivity:

• Long-Lasting Battery: The cordless DS3678-XR model provides more than 80,000 scans on a single charge (at least 23 hours of continuous scanning), which is 60% more than competitive models.
• Smart Battery: The PowerPrecision+ battery offers comprehensive health information for easy management.
• Connectivity Features: Includes a battery ‘charge gauge’ and Bluetooth status LED.
