Frequently asked questions
What is included with the Zebra DS2278?
The package includes the DS2278 scanner, charging/communication cradle, and USB cable. Everything you need to start scanning out of the box. Just plug the cradle into your computer and pair the scanner.
Can I use it away from the cradle?
Yes. The DS2278 connects via Bluetooth and can be used wirelessly within range. The cradle is for charging and USB communication to your computer, but you can scan freely while away from it.
Does it read QR codes and 2D barcodes?
Yes. The DS2278 is a full 2D imager that reads all common barcode types including QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417, and all standard 1D barcodes like Code 128, EAN and UPC.
Is it suitable for warehouse use?
The DS2278 is best suited for fixed workstations, reception desks, and packing stations. For mobile warehouse scanning or long range needs, consider the PBT9600 or Beam Handheld Scanner instead.
How does it integrate with Beam?
The scanner acts as a keyboard input via the cradle USB connection. When you scan a barcode, it types the code directly into the Beam app on your computer. No special drivers or software needed.
Compatibility is only the beginning.
A reader’s ability to connect does not prove that every tag can be read reliably in every environment. That is why hardware, tags, products, read zones, volumes and exceptions are tested together before any performance commitment becomes part of the scope.
