Zebra DS3678-ER Barcode Scanner Kit

In fast-paced warehouses and distribution centers, every second counts. The Zebra DS3678-ER Barcode Scanner Kit is engineered to deliver unstoppable performance with extended-range, 1D and 2D barcode scanning that keeps your operations moving smoothly from dock to shipment. This rugged, enterprise-grade kit is built to withstand the rigors of daily warehouse life while offering wireless flexibility, quick pairing, and reliable decoding of even damaged, poorly printed, or curved barcodes. Whether your teams are scanning pallets at the receiving dock, fast-pinning items on the sales floor, or executing high-speed put-away in narrow aisles, the DS3678-ER is designed to boost accuracy, increase throughput, and reduce downtime. The kit includes everything you need to deploy quickly and scale across your operation—delivering consistent performance and a lower total cost of ownership over the long haul.

  • Extended-range 1D/2D scanning: Capture barcodes from greater distances and at challenging angles, enabling workers to scan items without moving from their position, which accelerates cycles and reduces manual handling in busy warehouses.
  • Rugged, reliable design for harsh environments: A purpose-built housing protects against dust, moisture, and daily wear, with drop resistance and an ergonomic grip that minimizes fatigue during long shifts—and keeps your scanning uptime high.
  • Wireless freedom with enterprise-grade reliability: The kit supports secure wireless connectivity, enabling workers to roam the floor, scan from across loading bays, and stay productive without tethering to a workstation or desk.
  • Flexible integration and optimization tools: Seamless compatibility with Zebra software ecosystems and warehouse management workflows, along with intuitive pairing and management features to simplify deployment, updates, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Complete kit for rapid deployment: Includes the DS3678-ER scanner, a charging cradle, USB cable, and all necessary accessories, so your IT team can deploy quickly and begin scanning with minimal setup and training.

How to install Zebra DS3678-ER Barcode Scanner Kit

Installing the DS3678-ER Barcode Scanner Kit is designed to be straightforward for IT teams and warehouse operators. The kit’s packaging and components are oriented toward rapid deployment, quick pairing, and immediate scanning capability, so you can begin work with minimal downtime.

  • Unbox and confirm all components are present, including the DS3678-ER scanner, charging cradle, USB cable, and documentation. Inspect for any transit damage and ensure the battery is properly seated in the scanner.
  • Place the charging cradle on a stable surface or mount it in a preferred location within easy reach of operators. Connect the cradle to a power outlet using the provided USB cable or power adapter as specified by your deployment plan.
  • Power on the DS3678-ER scanner and enable pairing mode as instructed in the user manual. If you are integrating with a host system, ensure the scanner is in pairing mode to allow a smooth link with the enterprise wireless or Bluetooth infrastructure.
  • Pair the scanner with your designated host device or gateway according to your warehouse’s network configuration. This may involve selecting the DS3678-ER from a list of available devices, confirming pairing, and testing a few sample barcodes to verify decoding accuracy and reading distance.
  • Test in the actual work environment to validate range, lighting conditions, and decoding speed. Adjust scanner settings as needed through the Zebra management tools or your MDM/EMS solution to optimize performance for your typical codes and layouts.
  • Provide a brief operator training session, focusing on proper scanning technique, how to attach the scanner to the cradle, and basic troubleshooting steps to reduce downtime during shifts. Document the configuration for future maintenance and firmware updates.
  • Integrate with your warehouse management system or ERP workflow to ensure scanned data flows correctly to orders, receipts, inventory records, and shipping documentation. Schedule periodic maintenance and firmware updates to maintain peak performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What makes the DS3678-ER different from standard scanners?
    A: The DS3678-ER is designed for extended-range scanning of both 1D and 2D codes in demanding environments. It combines rugged durability with wireless freedom, enabling operators to scan from farther away or from awkward angles while maintaining accuracy and speed. It is particularly well-suited for warehouses with high throughput, docks, and noisy environments where reliable wireless connectivity and rapid decoding are critical.
  • Q: Is the DS3678-ER compatible with Zebra software and third-party systems?
    A: Yes. The DS3678-ER is designed to work with Zebra’s enterprise software ecosystem and common warehouse management solutions. This compatibility helps streamline deployment, firmware updates, and centralized fleet management, which can simplify IT administration and reduce total cost of ownership over time.
  • Q: How does the extended-range feature benefit warehouse operations?
    A: Extended-range scanning lets workers capture barcodes without moving to the barcode’s location, reducing walk-and-pick time, speeding receiving and put-away, and decreasing ergonomic strain. This is especially valuable for high-volume packs, pallets, and items stored on higher shelves or at the end of long aisles.
  • Q: What should I consider when deploying the DS3678-ER kit across multiple shifts?
    A: Plan for reliable charging availability, ensure adequate base or cradle coverage in high-traffic zones, and configure battery management and firmware updates to minimize downtime. Training should emphasize proper scanning technique, code quality checks, and troubleshooting steps to maximize uptime between shifts.
  • Q: Can I upgrade or expand my kit later?
    A: Yes. You can typically expand with additional DS3678-ER scanners, extra cradles, or compatible accessories as your warehouse grows. Always verify compatibility with your current software environment and follow Zebra’s recommended best practices for fleet management and firmware updates.
