Zebra DS8288 HC — wireless 2D scanner built for demanding environments

The Zebra DS8288 HC is designed for settings where equipment needs to be wiped down multiple times a day. Its white housing withstands the disinfectants commonly used in hospitals and pharmacies without damage, so following hygiene protocols never means compromising on your hardware.

Wireless freedom with Bluetooth 5.2

The scanner connects to the included charging and transmitter cradle via Bluetooth class 5.2. The connection stays stable even in busy environments with many other wireless devices competing for bandwidth. The 3,500 mAh battery keeps the scanner running through a long shift, and the cradle charges it ready for the next one.

2D imager and OCR in one device

The DS8288 HC reads all common 1D and 2D barcodes as well as OCR text. Digimarc support lets you read invisible digital watermark codes directly from packaging — no hunting for a label. In practice, this speeds up product identification when a traditional barcode is awkwardly placed or damaged.

IP54 protection and vibration feedback

IP54-rated protection means the device handles dust and water splashes — spills at the counter or treatment table won't interrupt your work. Vibration feedback confirms a successful scan in quiet environments where an audible beep isn't an option.

Particularly well suited for

Healthcare practices, pharmacies, laboratories, and any setting where disinfection routines are a core part of the working day. White is a standard requirement in many clinical environments.
