Barcode scanners play an integral role in your business. You need a scanner that is accurate, fast and durable. The [Symbol DS4800][2], previously called the Motorola DS4800, offers all of these important qualities and more. Unlike any other scanner, the Symbol DS4800 is incredibly sleek and stylish. In addition to standard colors such as black and white, the Symbol DS4800 can be customized to fit your company’s brand. As long as your order is big enough, you can not only select custom colors, but custom patterns as well. This is a great way to stand out and create a consistent theme throughout your store.

Where most traditional scanners have a physical trigger, the Symbol DS4800 does not. Instead it’s touch sensitive and provides haptic feedback that launches a beam of light to scan items. This makes the scanner easy to maneuver and comfortable to use. What’s more, its aggressive scan engine allows you to scan items by contact or from as many as 18 inches away (and 22.4 inches for 100% UPC-A barcodes). Talk about power!

Another place the Symbol DS4800 stands out is with its sound capabilities. Where most scanners emit a simple beep noise, this scanner has a speaker and a sound file system that plays WAV files. This gives you the ability to get creative and strategic with the scanning sound you select. For example, if you are in a large industrial setting, you might opt for a louder more traditional beep sound. Whereas if you’re a small baby boutique, you might want a more quiet subtle sound. The bottom line is, the choice is yours; you’re no longer limited to a standard setting!

One of the Symbol DS4800’s most amazing qualities is how effortlessly it scans barcodes on cell phones. Up until recently, this has been a major problem point. Cell phones tend to not be as flat as paper and are often reflective which can lead to scanning issues. This is where the Symbol DS4800 really shines and works perfectly for things like mobile couponing.

Just like our most popular selling model, the [Symbol LS2208][5], and one of our most affordable models, the [POS-X EVO Laser][6], the Symbol DS4800 comes with a five year warranty. What’s great about all three models is that each one fits in a stand that allows for hands-free scanning. While the Symbol DS4800 appears to be slightly heavier than the LS2208 (5.15 oz) and the POS-X EVO Laser (4.16 oz), its weight of 6 ounces includes the weight of the cable (2 oz) in its measurement. This means it’s actually the lightest scanner out of all three!

Another difference between the scanners can be observed in the scan method: the POS-X EVO Laser has a 1D scanner, the LS2208 has a bi-directional laser and the DS4800 has a 2D imager. One feature unique to the DS4800 is its ability to parse driver license data, which is great for customer data entry. Once a license is scanned, the data is parsed into the order that your software requires, making the process fast and painless.
