Zebra DS3600-KD Barcode Scanner Model Overview
The DS3600-KD Ultra-Rugged Scanner with Keypad and Color Display combines the simplicity of a scanner with the intelligence of a mobile computer, providing advanced functionality, ease of use and the ability to streamline a wide range of applications in your toughest environments.
Key Features:
- The highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. Virtually indestructible, the DS3600-KD can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. With dual IP65/IP68 sealing, it can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water.
- The first ultra-rugged scanner with a color display and keypad. Make picking, inventory and point of sale tasks more efficient with the ergonomic keypad and color display. The color display provides a more intuitive, modern experience and the display brightness automatically adjusts for easy viewing in any lighting condition.
- Pre-built applications ready to use right out of the box. Take the complexity out of app development and integration. Start using our pre-built applications on day one — including the ability to add quantity and/or location data to any scanned barcode, confirm that the contents inside a container match the outer label, and even add location data during inventory counts while roaming away from the host. There’s virtually no learning curve for workers — if they can use a scanner, they can use the pre-built applications. And the ability for future customization can meet specific application needs.
- More than 60,000 scans on a single charge. The DS3600-KD supports more than 60,000 scans on a single charge — that’s over 16 hours of non-stop scanning. The smart PowerPrecision+ battery provides comprehensive health information, so you can easily spot and replace aging batteries
- No-cost tools to meet your management needs. With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service (SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any DS3600-KD device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user action is required.
Warehouses, retailers and manufacturers face unrelenting pressure to deliver more — and to do it faster and more accurately. Rise to meet the challenge with the DS3600-KD Ultra-Rugged Scanner with Keypad and Color Display. Built for your toughest environments, the DS3600-KD is virtually indestructible, including an enhanced 10 ft./3 m drop spec to concrete. The scanner reads barcodes in any condition, whether they’re in hand or as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Workers can key in data, such as adding quantity and location, with the ergonomic keypad and color display. Pre-built applications offer the same ‘point and shoot’ simplicity of a scanner and enable workers to complete picking, putaway and inventory tasks with amazing efficiency and accuracy. And DataCapture DNA, Zebra’s exclusive software ecosystem, takes scanner performance far beyond the basics — simplifying every stage of the scanning experience over the life of your device.
Ultra-rugged — the most indestructible design in its class
Zebra ultra-rugged scanners earned their name for a reason — you won’t find a tougher family of scanners. The DS3600-KD has the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. It can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7, the DS3600-KD is dust proof, can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water. Built to withstand extreme heat, cold and humidity, the DS3600-KD can be used anywhere — indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer
Scan it all — at astonishing speeds
Workers can capture virtually any 1D or 2D barcode as fast as they can pull the trigger, from as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Powered by Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology and the highest sensor resolution in its class, the DS3600-KD instantly captures the most problematic barcodes — including barcodes that are dirty, damaged, poorly printed and under shrinkwrap.
The first ultra-rugged scanner with a color display and keypad
Make picking, inventory and point of sale tasks more efficient with the keypad and color display. The ergonomic backlit keypad is well designed for one-handed operation. The color display provides a more intuitive, modern experience and the display brightness automatically adjusts for easy viewing in any lighting condition.
Pre-built applications ready to use right out of the box
The DS3600-KD takes the complexity out of app development and integration. Start using our pre-built applications on day one — including the ability to add quantity and/or location data to any scanned barcode, they can use the pre-built applications. And the ability for future customization can meet specific application needs.
Capture OCR, photos and documents
The DS3600-KD makes it easy to take high quality photos for documentation. With Image Viewer, workers can quickly check an image before sending it to the host. Zebra’s Intelligent Document Capture automatically de-skews and brightens document images. And support for multiple OCR fonts enables fast, easy data transfer.
Easily capture label data for better inventory management
With Label Parse+, the DS3600-KD can instantly capture and parse GS1 label barcode data on items, enabling workers to easily capture a wealth of data, including expiration dates and lot number/manufacturing location.
Read up to 20 barcodes with one press of the scan trigger
With Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), the DS3600-KD can capture multiple barcodes with a single scan and transmit only the barcodes you need, in the order your application expects.
Faster pick-list processing
Workers can easily select and capture an individual barcode from any pick list.
Flexible feedback modes
Mix and match the feedback modes that best fit your environment — vibration, wraparound LEDs that are easy to see from any position, a beep tone and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the captured barcode.
Switch workflows in an instant with AutoConfig
Since scanner settings are stored in the cradle base, simply pair the DS3600-KD to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application. For example, you can take a scanner from the forklift and use it for shipping without manually changing settings.
More than 60,000 scans on a single charge
The DS3600-KD supports more than 60, so you can easily spot and replace aging batteries.
Battery and Bluetooth status at-a-glance
The color display always shows the battery gauge and Bluetooth status, making it easy to monitor battery power and connectivity throughout a shift.
Ultra-rugged cradle and charging contacts designed to last
The DS3600-KD is the only scanner in its class to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. Its industrial charging contacts withstand 250,000 insertions. And Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact Technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of the scanner.
Keep track of your scanners and prevent workflow interruptions
With Virtual Tether, you won’t have to worry about a customer accidentally taking a scanner from self-checkout or a warehouse worker leaving a scanner behind on a pallet. Both the scanner and cradle will alert users when a scanner is taken beyond its Bluetooth range or left out of the cradle for a predefined length of time.
