Choose the scanning configuration that fits your work

The DS3608 is available in multiple scanning configurations. Which one fits best depends on the type of barcode and the distance from which you scan.

Standard Range

Standard Range is suitable for standard scanning at short to normal distances.

A good choice for:

• Product labels
• Inventory labels
• Order labels
• Shipping labels
• General warehouse applications

High Density

High Density is suitable for small barcodes and barcodes with a lot of information in a small space.

A good choice for:

• Small labels
• Electronics labels
• Product codes
• Small 2D codes
• Labels where scannability is extra important

High Performance

High Performance is suitable when you want to scan many different barcodes quickly and reliably.

A good choice for:

• Intensive scanning processes
• Warehouse and production
• Damaged or less legible barcodes
• Workstations where speed is important

Extended Range

Extended Range is suitable when you also want to scan at a greater distance.

A good choice for:

• Pallet labels
• Racking
• Warehouses
• Distribution centers
• Barcodes at a distance

Rugged and reliable

The Zebra DS3608 is built for intensive daily use.

The scanner has an IP67 rating and is well protected against dust and water. It is also resistant to drops of up to approximately 2.4 meters.

This makes the scanner suitable for work environments where equipment is heavily used daily and must be able to take a beating.

Suitable for extreme temperatures

Do you work in cold or hot conditions? The DS3608 is suitable for temperatures from -30°C to +50°C.

This makes this scanner suitable for:

• Outdoor locations
• Cooler workspaces
• Warehouses
• Production environments
• Transport and storage

This way, you can keep scanning even in difficult conditions.

Clear scan confirmation

You get immediate confirmation after a successful scan.

The DS3608 uses triple feedback for this:

• Bright LEDs
• An audible signal
• A short vibration

This is useful in busy or noisy environments. You immediately know if the barcode has been read correctly.

Connectivity and cables

The Zebra DS3608 comes standard with multi-interface capabilities.

Depending on the chosen version, you can work with:

• USB
• RS232
• KBW

Note: some variants are delivered without a connection cable. Therefore, choose the right cable immediately so you can start quickly.

We are happy to help you verify which connection best suits your system.

FIPS and industrial connections

For some applications, there are Extended Range versions with FIPS.

Variants are also available with:

• USB cable
• RS232 cable and Ethernet adapter
• RS232 cable, Ethernet adapter, and Profinet

This is especially interesting for industrial environments where specific security or system integrations are required.

Are you unsure if you need FIPS, Ethernet, or Profinet? We are happy to help you think through this.

Because the DS3608 is available in multiple versions, choosing can be difficult. That is why we are happy to think along with you.

Together, we look at:

• Which codes you scan
• Whether you need Standard Range, High Density, High Performance, or Extended Range
• At what distance you scan
• Whether you scan small barcodes
• Whether you work outdoors or indoors
• What connection you need
• Whether you need FIPS, Ethernet, or Profinet
• Whether you want help with installation and settings

This way, you don't just choose a scanner, but a version that fits your work environment.
