The Zebra DS9908 is a corded hybrid 2D presentation scanner – one of a kind, designed from the ground up for both hands-free and handheld scanning. It stands on its own integrated adjustable stand for fast hands-free scanning, switches to handheld mode the moment it is picked up and reads virtually every 1D and 2D barcode, on labels and on phone screens. It is backed by a 5-year (60-month) Zebra warranty. This version, DS9908-SRR0004ZZEU, is the DS9908R RFID model – the Standard Range (SR) imager plus a built-in UHF RFID reader/writer for the EU band (865–868 MHz), comes in Midnight Black and is supplied as the scanner only – an interface cable is not included.
📦 What's in the box – DS9908-SRR0004ZZEU
- Zebra DS9908R RFID hybrid presentation scanner – Standard Range (SR), Midnight Black, UHF RFID reader/writer, 865–868 MHz (EU)
- Integrated adjustable stand – part of the scanner – stands on the counter for hands-free scanning, simply pick the scanner up for handheld use; no separate stand needed
💡 To get started, you might also consider a USB cable to connect the scanner to your computer or POS.
📡 RFID: the DS9908R reads and writes UHF RFID tags (EPC Gen2) in the EU band 865–868 MHz and runs from a single USB port – no external power supply is needed. Please note that the DS9908R is larger than the standard DS9908, so the BRKT-MM0099C-04 multi-mount bracket does not fit it.
Key Features
- Two scanners in one – a one-of-a-kind hybrid design built from the ground up for hands-free and handheld use: a capacitive touch sensor and an accelerometer switch modes instantly when the scanner is picked up or put down, with no mechanical parts to wear out.
- Scans it all – with virtually no exceptions – an 800 MHz processor, a megapixel sensor and Zebra's PRZM Intelligent Imaging capture dense, poorly printed, damaged, crinkled, faded, low-contrast and glossy barcodes, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit phone screens.
- Barcode and UHF RFID in one – reads and writes EPC Gen2 RFID tags (EPC Gen2 V2, ISO 18000-63) in the EU band 865–868 MHz with a read range of about 45 cm, captures several tagged items in one pass without line of sight, and comes with free RFID data conversion software that reports tag data just like a barcode.
- Rapid-fire scanning – the widest field of view in its class (48° × 30.6°) and swipe speeds of up to 610 cm/s (13 mil UPC) keep lines moving; in presentation mode the range is limited to prevent accidental scans, and when the scanner is picked up the range extends automatically to reach items on the counter or in the cart.
- Hybrid ergonomics – the comfortably weighted, well-balanced handle is easy to aim, and the integrated adjustable stand is a sturdy, compact solution for crowded counters.
- Intelligent Document Capture and OCR – captures high-resolution images of documents, cheques and forms with a single trigger press, reads OCR-A/OCR-B/MICR text, and Multi-Code Data Formatting and Preferred Symbol read several barcodes at once or only the one you need.
- Built for everyday use – a single circuit board design, a double-sealed optical system and a recessed scan window; IP42 sealing, multiple 1.2 m drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles.
- Plug and play – connects via USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge or IBM 46xx (RS485) with auto-host-detect Zebra cables, supports more than 90 international keyboards and is compatible with Zebra DS9808 cables.
- Zebra DataCapture DNA – program the scanner with 123Scan, update firmware remotely with Scanner Management Service (SMS), spot poor barcodes with ScanSpeed Analytics and integrate it with the Scanner SDKs for Windows, Android, iOS and Linux; 5-year Zebra warranty.
Ideal Applications

- Returns desks – re-commissioning (writing) RFID tags on returned goods
- Inventory visibility – closing the RFID loop at the point of sale
- Standard barcode checkout, including mobile coupons and loyalty apps
- Labs and blood processing with RFID-tagged samples
