Designed for manufacturing, electronics, and medical equipment production, it delivers first-time capture of ultra-dense barcodes while withstanding the harshest industrial conditions. Powered by Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging, it ensures consistent performance even on damaged, dirty, or low-quality codes. Key Benefits & Features High-Density Barcode Capture: Specially optimized to read tiny and dense 1D and 2D barcodes, including 3 mil codes that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Ultra-Rugged Construction: The most indestructible design in its class, surviving 10 ft. (3 m) drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. Dual IP65/IP68 Sealing: Dustproof, spray-proof, and waterproof. This scanner can handle the force of jetting water and full submersion. PRZM Intelligent Imaging: Zebra exclusive technology that redefines imager performance, allowing for rapid-fire capture of barcodes under shrinkwrap or on high-gloss surfaces. Multi-Code Data Formatting: Increase throughput by capturing up to 20 barcodes with a single press of the scan trigger. Industrial Ethernet Support: Seamlessly connects to Industrial Ethernet networks without the need for third-party conversion equipment. Ideal Use Cases Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing lines for track and trace Medical device production and component-level tracking Warehouse receiving and shipping in extreme temperature environments Industrial automation requiring direct connection to PLC systems Sub-assembly and quality control processes with high-density labels Technical Specifications Scan Capability: 1D and 2D high-density barcodes and standard codes Imager Sensor: 1,280 x 960 pixels Drop Resistance: 10 ft. / 3 m to concrete Sealing: IP65 and IP68 (Scanner); IP65 (Cradle) Interfaces: USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge, Industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus) Scan Range: Up to 26 inches (66 cm) for 20 mil Code 128 Operating Temperature: -30 deg C to 50 deg C (-22 deg F to 122 deg F) Tumble Rating: 7,500 3.3 ft.
