Symbol DS6708 Handheld Imager Scanner

The Symbol DS6708-DL barcode scanner combines all the features of Zebra’s standard DS6708 imager, including omni-directional 1-D/2-D barcode scanning, with an embedded parsing agent that enables users to read the PDF-417 barcode on a US drivers license and use that information for a multitude of applications. Because the parsing is done in the scanner and the output is controlled by the user, the scanner can easily be used in all environments with very little start-up effort.

 

Embedded parsing agents
Enable users to read the PDF-417 barcode on a US driver’s license and use that information for a multitude of applications including auto-population of a credit or loyalty card form, age verification or returns monitoring

Combined functionality
Supports for all major 1-D, PDF, postal and 2-D symbologies.

RSM (Remote Scanner Management)
Lowers IT expenses by enabling remote management from a central location.

Rugged design
Withstands multiple drops, minimizing downtime.

Tempered glass exit window
Gives enhanced visibility.

Multiple on-board interfaces and universal cable
Ensures compatibility with future technology.
