Product information

Description

The Zebra DS8178-HC handheld bar code reader is designed for reliable 1D and 2D scanning in clinical and healthcare environments. It combines wireless Bluetooth and USB connectivity with a compact, lightweight white housing and an IP42 rating. The scanner uses an LED sensor, is powered by a built-in Lithium‑Ion battery and supports a wide range of linear and matrix barcode symbologies, making it suitable for patient wristbands, medication labels and inventory tasks.

Advantages

Its lightweight construction (235 g) and compact footprint (66 mm width, 107 mm depth) reduce user fatigue during repeated scans. The device supports extensive 1D and 2D barcode types and comes in a white, easily cleanable housing suitable for healthcare settings.

How to use

Charge the scanner’s Lithium‑Ion battery before first use. Connect the cradle or use the shielded USB cable to configure wired communication, or pair the scanner via Bluetooth to a host device following the Zebra pairing procedure. Aim the scanner at the barcode, press the trigger and hold steady until the LED indicates a successful read. Return the scanner to its cradle when not in use to maintain charge and secure storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the DS8178-HC in environments requiring frequent disinfecting; follow Zebra’s cleaning instructions and use compatible disinfectants. For reliable reads, ensure barcodes are free of heavy damage or excessive glare and keep the LED window clean. When high-reliability wireless range is needed, verify line-of-sight and minimize radio interference.

Performance

International Protection (IP) code: The IP code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion (including body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. Where there is no protection rating with regard to one of the criteria, the digit is replaced with the letter X. an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. Another example is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, one of the first cellular phones to be IP-rated; it is rated at IP58 and marketed as "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1.5 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes".: IP42
