The DS457 Series delivers fast, high-volume hands-free scanning from the retail POS and airport boarding gate to the manufacturing production line. With comprehensive data capture, your workers can scan virtually any bar code—including 1D, 2D and direct part marks.

Regardless of what type of bar code is presented, or whether it is printed on a paper label, etched into a product or displayed on a mobile phone screen, breakthrough digital imaging technology delivers extraordinary scanning speed. With its tiny footprint, the DS457 maximizes counter space and can be easily integrated into the most space-constrained areas.

Workers can choose presentation or trigger-activated mode, providing the flexibility for a wide variety of applications. And while the DS457 can be integrated into a wide variety of products, its sleek design is just as at home in customer-facing areas, such as retail counter. No matter what type of bar codes you need to capture, there is a model that will meet your needs. The DS457 comes in four models including:

• SR (Standard Range) for general-purpose, 1D/2D-intensive applications
• HD (High Density) for the tiny and dense codes common in manufacturing
• DL (Driver's License Parsing) ideal for 1D/2D applications that require the capture of U.S. driver's license ID information
• DP (Direct Part Marking) for rapid capture of every type of direct part mark, including dot peen, laser etch, chemical etch, inkjet, mold, cast and thermal spray; capture marks on virtually any surface, including metal, rubber, plastic and glass.

Fits in the smallest of spaces

The tiny DS457 is ideal where a zero or minimal footprint is required. At just 1.15 in. H x 2.3 in. L x 2.44 in. W (2.92 cm H x 5.84 cm L x 6.2 cm W), this device can be mounted just about anywhere — attached to the register or under the counter for a true zero footprint on the retail cashwrap to a space-constrained manufacturing cell or airport gate.

Scan bar codes on practically any surface — including mobile phone displays

Your customers are rapidly adopting mobile bar codes — electronic versions of tickets, boarding passes and loyalty cards that can be carried right in the mobile phone. Since the DS457 can read bar codes on mobile phone and computer displays, you’re ready for this next generation bar code, protecting customer convenience, customer service quality and employee productivity.

Flexible and easy to integrate

The DS457 can be used as a standalone scanner or integrated into the most space-constrained products to bring world-class scanning performance to mobile computers, handheld scanners, self-service kiosks, medical and diagnostic instruments, lottery terminals and more. Integration into your product designs is easy — there is no optical, mechanical or electrical engineering required. And in the event you already have a Zebra Miniscan deployed today, the common interface allows you to simply swap scanners to cost-effectively boost scanning performance and quality — no re-tooling or redesign of the installation area are required.
