Zebra DS8178 – Wireless 2D Barcode Scanner for Daily Business Use

The Zebra DS8178 is a Bluetooth 2D imaging scanner built to handle the demands of a busy shop floor, café counter, or stockroom. It reads barcodes reliably, keeps wireless data secure, and stays out of your way when the queue is building.

No cables at the counter

Bluetooth connectivity means your staff can scan products freely — at the till, along the shelves, or at the back of the stock room — without a cable getting in the way during the rush. Scanning becomes a natural part of how the day flows, not something to work around.

Built to take the knocks

IP52-rated protection means the scanner handles dust and the occasional splash without missing a beat. Spilled drinks, a damp cloth wipe-down, a dusty stockroom shelf — none of these stop it working. And with a 36-month warranty from Zebra, you have three years of use without having to worry about what happens if something goes wrong.

FIPS security for wireless data

FIPS-certified encryption covers the wireless data link between scanner and host. If your business systems require validated encryption for data in transit, this scanner meets that standard without any extra configuration on your end.

Reads everything you need it to

The standard-range 2D imager reads all common 1D and 2D barcode formats — EAN codes, QR codes, internal labels — without needing to adjust distance or angle. In practice, customers don't stand waiting while your staff hunts for the right spot to scan from.

What is not included — order separately

The interface cable, charging and transmitter cradle, power supply unit, and power cable are all ordered separately. You will need the right accessories before the scanner is ready to use. Get in touch with Vaivatta and we will make sure you have everything in place from day one — no guesswork.
