Product Features
Technical Overview
The DS2208-SR utilizes a high-performance imager sensor capable of reading 1D linear barcodes with a minimum element resolution of 5 mil (0.13 mm) for Code 39 and 2D codes like DataMatrix at 10 mil (0.25 mm). Its omni-directional scan pattern and wide reading angles—65° skew and pitch, 360° roll—allow flexible scanning orientations without precise alignment.
The scanner operates effectively in high-ambient light up to 107,600 lux and maintains reliable reads with a minimum print contrast of 25%. Motion tolerance of 5 in/s (127 mm/s) ensures consistent performance even with moving items, while the standard-range scanning distance of 14.5" provides comfortable working ergonomics.
