Zebra DS3678 Barcode Scanner

Product Overview

The Zebra DS3678 Barcode Scanner is an ultra‑rugged industrial scanner designed for the most demanding environments. Built to perform reliably in manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics hubs, and outdoor operations, the Zebra scanner DS3678 delivers outstanding scanning performance, exceptional durability, and long service life.

Moreover, the DS3678 scanner offers multiple engine options to meet different application needs, including DS3678‑SR, DS3678‑ER, DS3678‑HD, DS3678‑DP, and DS3678‑HP. As a result, users can easily select the right model based on scanning distance, barcode density, and application type.

Key Features

• Ultra‑rugged design for industrial environments
• Superior scanning performance on challenging barcodes
• Multiple versions available for specific use cases
• Designed for high productivity and reduced downtime
• Trusted Zebra quality for mission‑critical operations

Extreme Durability & Environmental Protection

The Zebra DS3678 is engineered to withstand harsh working conditions.

• Waterproof and dustproof: Operators can rinse the scanner directly under running tap water. In addition, it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes without affecting performance.
• Shock and drop resistant: The scanner withstands multiple drops from 8.0 ft / 2.4 meters onto concrete surfaces. Consequently, it remains reliable even in accident‑prone environments.

Outstanding Scanning Performance

The zebra ds3678 excels at reading difficult barcodes that traditional scanners struggle with.

• Accurately scans barcodes under packaging film
• Reliably reads damaged, dirty, or poorly printed barcodes
• Delivers fast and consistent decoding in low‑quality conditions
• Extends the working range by up to 30%, allowing users to capture barcodes from greater distances

Therefore, the zebra scanner ds3678 significantly improves workflow efficiency and reduces rescans.

Available Models & Applications

DS3678‑SR (Standard Range)

Designed for everyday industrial scanning tasks, the SR model provides fast and reliable barcode capture at standard working distances.

DS3678‑ER (Extended Range)

The zebra ds3678 er model offers long‑distance scanning capabilities. As a result, operators can easily capture barcodes located high on warehouse racks or far from the scanner.

DS3678‑HD (High Density)

The ds3678 hd version specializes in decoding high‑density and very small 2D barcodes. Therefore, it is ideal for industries such as healthcare, electronics, and electrical manufacturing, where tiny QR codes or DataMatrix codes are commonly used.

DS3678‑DP (Direct Part Marking)

The ds3678 dp model supports DPM barcode scanning, enabling reliable decoding of barcodes engraved, etched, or laser‑marked on metal surfaces. Consequently, it is widely used in automotive manufacturing, metal parts processing, and production lines where barcodes may be corroded or difficult to read.

DS3678‑HP (High Performance)

The HP version combines high‑speed scanning with advanced decoding capabilities, making it suitable for complex industrial workflows that require maximum flexibility.

DS3678 Model Comparison

Consequently, distributors can recommend the most suitable DS3678 scanner based on industry, barcode type, and working distance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Zebra DS3678 truly waterproof?

Yes. The Zebra DS3678 features an industrial waterproof and dustproof design. Operators can rinse it directly under running tap water. In addition, the scanner can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes without affecting performance.

What is DPM scanning, and which model supports it?

DPM (Direct Part Marking) refers to barcodes that are engraved, etched, or laser-marked directly onto materials such as metal. The DS3678-DP model is specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, it can reliably read barcodes on metal parts, even if they are corroded or low-contrast.

Can the DS3678 scan very small or high-density barcodes?

Yes. The DS3678-HD model is optimized for high-density and micro 2D barcodes, including small QR codes and DataMatrix codes. As a result, it is widely used in healthcare, electronics, and electrical manufacturing industries.

Is the DS3678 suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Absolutely. The zebra ds3678 withstands multiple drops from 8.0 ft / 2.4 meters onto concrete surfaces. Consequently, it performs reliably in factories, warehouses, and outdoor environments.
