Zebra DS9308 Hands-Free Presentation Barcode Scanner overview
The DS9308 is a small-footprint presentation imager designed for counters where space is tight. It sits upright for hands-free scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes, including codes on mobile phone screens, and can be lifted and triggered like a handheld when needed.
