Product Model: DS9908R
Brand: Zebra
Category: Barcode Scanner
The Zebra DS9908R is a high-performance, hybrid barcode scanner and UHF RFID reader designed primarily for use at the point of sale (POS) in retail environments.
Its key differentiator is the integrated UHF RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) capability, which allows users to not only scan standard 1D and 2D barcodes but also read and write data to RFID tags. This feature is ideal for accelerating checkout processes, enabling quick inventory counts without line-of-sight scanning, and streamlining the processing of returned or new merchandise.
