When tasks get tougher, you need a scanner that’s ready for the job. The DS3600-XR sets a new standard in extended range performance, enabling workers to scan faster, farther and more accurately than ever before. The DS3600-XR maintains the proven ruggedness of the DS3600-ER, increases scanning range by more than 40% and aimer visibility up to 7x — while decreasing device weight by 10%. The DS3600-XR delivers an edge over the competition for both rapidly proliferating 2D barcodes and traditional 1D. It seamlessly reads barcodes from as close as 2 in./5 cm to over 105 ft./32 m — nearer and farther than any scanner in its class. A high visibility green laser aimer makes scanning easier and more accurate at varying distances and lighting conditions. The DS3600-XR is virtually indestructible with a best-in-class 10 ft./3 m drop spec to concrete. Superior cordless technology makes it easier for your workers to use and manage their cordless scanners. And Zebra DataCapture DNA takes scanner performance far beyond the basics.
Scan Nearer and Farther with Class-leading Range
Engineered to perform at the highest level, the DS3600-XR can capture barcodes from less than 2 in./5 cm to over 105 ft./32 m — over 25% farther than other products in this class. It scans commonly used 2D barcodes nearly 40% farther, keeping productivity high as information-rich 2D codes become more prevalent in supply chains. Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology offers unmatched scanning performance on virtually any 1D, 2D, paper and mobile barcode — including barcodes that are scratched, dirty, poorly printed, high density, even under shrinkwrap or frost.
Instant, Intelligent Barcode Capture Near and Far
Zebra’s exclusive IntelliFocus™ technology delivers optimal performance across the entire scanning range and in a variety of lighting conditions. That means workers can use the same scanner to read barcodes on a picklist in hand, scan items on the uppermost shelves of warehouse racks or barcodes on the highest shipping container, capture ground level barcodes without bending down and reach more labels without getting out of the forklift.
High Visibility Green Laser Aimer for Indoor and Outdoor Scanning
The DS3600-XR’s green laser aimer with a wide cross hair pattern is up to 7x more visible than a red aiming dot and can be seen across the entire decode range indoors and up to 10 ft./3 m in direct sunlight. The result is easier and more accurate aiming, whether workers are scanning in the dimmest corners of the warehouse or out on the loading dock, port or yard.
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. Ready for the world’s harshest environments, the DS3600-XR has the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. It can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. With dual IP65/IP68 sealing, the DS3600-XR is dust proof, can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water. And built to withstand extreme heat, cold and humidity, it can be used anywhere — indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer.1
Ultra-Rugged Cradle and Charging Contacts Designed to Last
The 3600 Series are the first scanners in their class to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. 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.
Easily Capture Label Data for Better Inventory Management
With Label Parse+, the DS3600-XR 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-XR 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
Users 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.
More than 80,000 Scans on a Single Charge
Workers can count on non-stop, full-shift power. The cordless DS3678-XR supports more than 80,000 scans in a single charge — that’s at least 23 hours of continuous scanning and 60% more scans per charge than competitive models in this product class. The smart PowerPrecision+ battery provides comprehensive health information, so you can easily spot and replace aging batteries.
Battery and Bluetooth® Status At-A-Glance
The first-in-its-class battery ‘charge gauge’ and Bluetooth status LED make it easy to monitor battery power as well as Bluetooth connectivity.
Switch Workflows in an Instant with AutoConfig
Simply pair the DS3600-XR to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application. For example, take a scanner from the forklift and use it for shipping without manually changing settings.
Keep Track of Your Scanners and Prevent Workflow Interruptions
With Virtual Tether, your cordless scanners are always where they should be, fully charged and ready for work. The scanner and cradle alert users when a scanner is taken beyond its Bluetooth range or left out of the cradle for a predefined length of time.
Eliminate Bluetooth Interference with Wi-Fi Friendly Mode
Zebra’s exclusive Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates the wireless interference that Bluetooth devices can create in your Wi-Fi environment.
Instantly Connect to Your Industrial Ethernet Network
Zebra’s Network Connect for Automation delivers a seamless connection between DS3600-XR scanners and a manufacturer’s Industrial Ethernet network without the need for third party conversion equipment. The solution eliminates vulnerability points, improves security and reduces complexity.
No-Cost Tools to Meet Your Management Needs
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to program scanners. Zebra Remote Management makes it easy to manage scanners remotely, whether your imagers are in multiple locations across the country or around the world. You can configure and update the firmware for any DS3600 device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user action is required.
Up-To-The-Minute Insight Into Every Aspect of Your Scanners
Remote Diagnostics automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, parameter settings and barcode data — giving you the information needed for event verification, blockchain traceability, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and predictive fleet-wide trend analysis.
Make Data-driven Decisions Informed by Your Scanners
Do more with your DS3600-XR with Zebra’s IoT Connector, a fully automated real-time data collection tool that routes data from your scanners into your preferred IoT endpoint. The result? You can mine the data and get the insights needed to make decisions in real time.
Maximize Performance and Uptime with Unmatched Protection
Optional maintenance plans keep your DS3600 devices up and running in peak condition with coverage for accidental damage and everyday wear-and-tear. Choose a plan that’s tailored to your needs and business urgency. You can enhance any Zebra OneCare plan with battery protection that takes the worry out of battery management and eliminates unplanned battery replacement costs.
