The versatile Zebra DS2208 barcode scanner reads 1D and 2D barcodes in seconds – from classic paper and plastic labels as well as from a smartphone display. It captures customer cards, promotional codes, vouchers, and much more directly from the customer's smartphone for easy billing – ideal for use in retail and hospitality, even during peak times. The DS2208 automatically recognizes handheld and presentation mode simply by being placed in or taken out of the presentation stand. This multifunctional area imager is ready to use straight out of the box thanks to comprehensive pre-configuration – just unpack and get started. The connection cable (available in USB, RS232, KBW, or IBM) is automatically recognized by the DS2208 through Auto-Host-Detect upon connection, requiring no further settings. With Zebra's free remote software SMS (Scanner Management Service), you can manage and configure the DS2208 and many other models worldwide from your PC, smartphone, or tablet. Zebra makes it easy to switch from 1D to 2D with full backward compatibility to all existing connection cables of the widely used Zebra LS2208.
