Symbol DS3478 Rugged Bar Code Scanner

The Symbol DS3478 Series of rugged, cordless scanners uses digital imaging technology to accurately capture direct part marks (DPM), and 1D and 2D bar codes. The series is available in three models. The DS3478-SF is ideal for scanning 1D and 2D bar codes. For high-density 2D matrix codes, choose the DS3478-HD. For DPM, select the DS3478-DP. Two-position “Smart” focus technology, unique to Motorola, provides the flexibility to meet scanning needs in a wide range of applications and environments. Omni-directional scanning, available on all models, lets operators quickly capture symbols from any angle.

Cordless scanning
Offers cable-free convenience and reduces repairs due to cable failure.

Ability to read 1D and 2D bar codes
Increases productivity and lowers costs by handling all industry-standard bar codes.

Omni-directional scanning
Eliminates need to line up the bar code with the scan line, increasing speed.

Capture of high-density bar codes (HD model only)
Increases productivity by enabling users to read high-density 2D matrix codes in addition to all industry-standard bar codes.

Captures a wide variety of DPM marks (DPM model only)
Enhances quality processes and improves lifetime product traceability.

Rugged design
Withstands multiple 6.5-ft (2-m) drops to concrete.

IP65-rated sealing
Protects against water and dust for reliable performance in harsh industrial conditions.

Bright LED and beeper with adjustable volume
Includes multiple confirmation modes for noisy environments.

Unique, two-position “Smart” focus
Allows a choice of two focus positions.

Advanced data formatting
Eliminates costly modifications to the host software.

Multiple interfaces and universal cable set
Allows migration to future hosts and easy upgrading of hosts and cables.
