Motorola DS9808 - Symbol - Wired Handheld Barcode Scanner Application Brief page 3

Innovative versatile scanner improves
productivity, throughput and customer
service at the checkout stand
The DS9808 next-generation hybrid presentation
imager from Motorola offers all the features you
need to keep checkout lines moving — protecting
customer satisfaction and sales. The latest in
scanning technology delivers record swipe speed,
providing the rapid fire scanning required to keep
the checkout line moving. This one-of-a-kind scanner
is truly designed for both handheld and hands-
free scanning mode — cashiers can easily switch
between modes by simply picking the scanner up or
setting the scanner down on the counter. The cable
connector is recessed in the integrated base, offering
a very small footprint that can be accommodated in
even the most space-constrained checkout stands.
And regardless of whether the device is in hands-
free or handheld mode, users experience the same
superior comfort and ease of use.
When it comes to data capture, the DS9808
provides a new level of versatility at the checkout
stand. This single device can read 1D and 2D bar
codes, deactivate EAS tags and read RFID* tags
— as well as capture images and signatures. It also
decodes 1D and 2D bar codes from mobile phone
displays. Developed by the company that pioneered
bar code scanning, the DS9808 offers the same
level of performance, reliability and ease-of-use
that has led many of the world's largest retailers to
standardize on scanners from Motorola.
As a result, regardless of inventory management
protocol or what type of task is required at the
checkout stand, the DS9808 offers all the features
required to act quickly and efficiently. From scanning
purchases to verifying age, processing returns and
exchanges, and completing credit and loyalty card
applications, you can count on the DS9808 to enable
a new level of productivity and service excellence at
the checkout stand.

as RFID* tags provides support for the inventory
management technologies in your store today and
tomorrow — associates never need to pause to
manually enter a UPc code or price.
Until today, retailers have been traditionally forced
to choose between the fast scan performance of a
1D laser scanner and the often slower performance
of a 2D imager. But the DS9808 breaks the mold,
setting a new industry standard for 1D and 2D
scan performance. The DS9808 is the first bar code
scanner to offer a swipe speed that is programmable
up to 100 inches/254 cm per second — giving
retailers unmatched versatility and performance
without compromise to keep registers moving in
even the fastest paced retail stores.
The DS9808 offers an intuitive design that ensures
ease of use, regardless of whether your cashiers are
experienced or just starting. omni-directional 1D and
2D scanning eliminates the need to carefully orient
the bar code and scanner, enabling true 'swipe-and-
go'. An extra loud beeper provides audible verification
of a successful scan that can be heard even in the
busiest and noisiest store environments. A specially
designed laser-generated aiming pattern offers a
clear and bright field of view, even if the checkout
stand is in bright sunlight, helping ensure first time
accurate aim.
The DS9808's unique hybrid design is optimized
for presentation and handheld scanning — ideal for
environments with bulky or heavy items. Since the
long range model (the DS9808-LR) can scan up to 18
inches/45.7 cm away, cashiers never need to leave
the cash-wrap. Items can be easily scanned, right in
the cart, eliminating delays and reducing the risk of
potential injury for both associates and customers.
And finally, since this multi-purpose imager also
offers integrated checkpoint EAS tag deactivation, a
single swipe can simultaneously capture an item's
price and deactivate the security tag. The additional
step to de-activate the tag is eliminated, improving
throughput and productivity. The programmable
decode range allows you to closely match decode
and EAS deactivation ranges to help ensure that all
tags are deactivated with a single scan, preventing
erroneous alarms at the checkout stand that not
only waste security staff time but also embarrass
customers — threatening the customer experience.
