## Long description

The Zebra DS8100 Series handheld imager provides high-performance barcode scanning for checkout and point-of-sale environments. Equipped with an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel image sensor and Zebra’s PRZM decoding technology, the DS8100 Series captures 1D and 2D barcodes quickly and accurately, including poorly printed, faded, damaged or electronic barcodes displayed on mobile device screens.
Advantages
The DS8100 Series enables rapid capture of problematic barcodes, reliable reading of dense or distorted codes and consistent performance on barcodes shown on screens. It supports advanced functions such as simultaneous capture of multiple barcodes, extraction and formatting of data from full-page documents (8.5 x 11 / A4) and Digimarc barcode recognition for future compatibility. Centralized manageability tools allow remote monitoring of scan performance and battery metrics, remote configuration from Android, iOS and Windows devices, creation of a single configuration barcode and remote staging and firmware updates across locations.
