It is a Bluetooth handheld imager that reads every common 1D barcode and 2D code — QR, DataMatrix, PDF417, Aztec — including codes shown on a mobile phone screen, and it does it without a cable running back to the till. It pairs over standard Bluetooth 4.0 with BLE, works up to 30 ft \/ 10 m from the host, and up to 300 ft \/ 100 m when paired with the matching CR2278 cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCordless is worth paying for when the goods cannot come to the scanner. Furniture, appliance and building-material showrooms. Stockroom and rack counting. Godown goods-inward where cartons sit on a pallet across the floor. Hotel and hospital stores. Restaurant table-side ordering. The DS2278 runs 84 hours or about 110,000 scans on one charge of its 2,400 mAh battery, so a single overnight charge covers a full working day comfortably with margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCordless Bluetooth 4.0 with BLE — 30 ft \/ 10 m range, up to 300 ft \/ 100 m with the CR2278 cradle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReads all common 1D and 2D codes including QR, DataMatrix, PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode, Han Xin and postal codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReads codes off mobile phone and tablet screens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2,400 mAh Li-Ion battery — 84 hours of operation, about 110,000 scans at 60 scans per minute per charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmnidirectional decoding: skew and pitch ±65°, roll 0-360°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP52 sealed, built for multiple 1.5 m drops to concrete and 250 tumbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatch mode support so scanning continues when the host is out of range, and uploads when back in range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfaces: USB, RS232, keyboard wedge and IBM 46XX over RS485; over 90 international keyboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScan type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cordless area imager, 1D and 2D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluetooth version 4.0 with BLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 30 ft \/ 10 m; up to 300 ft \/ 100 m with CR2278 cradle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,400 mAh Li-Ion; 84 hours operation; approx. 110,000 scans per charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Code 39 and Code 128 at 4.0 mil; DataMatrix and QR at 6.0-6.7 mil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical decode ranges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 mil UPC 0.5 to 14.5 in.; 20 mil QR 0 to 11 in.; 10 mil DataMatrix 0.3 to 6.2 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9 in.

The DS2278 is also heavier than the corded DS2208 (214 g against 162 g) and its warranty is 36 months rather than 60. If your scanner never leaves a fixed billing counter, the corded DS2208 is cheaper, lighter and warranted longer — buy that instead and do not pay for mobility you will not use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when the operator has to walk to the stock, a cable is not a minor inconvenience — it is the reason stock counts get done badly or not at all. Eighty-four hours of battery means one charge covers a full week of moderate use, and batch mode keeps the scanner working when it drifts out of Bluetooth range. Paired with the CR2278 cradle it also doubles as a presentation scanner at the counter and charges while it sits there, which makes it a single device for both counter billing and floor work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShowrooms and large-format retail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurniture, appliance, tile and building-material showrooms where the item cannot be carried to the till — walk to the product, scan the tag, walk back with the price already in the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarehouse and godown stock counting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhysical stock verification along racks and pallet stacks, with batch mode holding scans when the host is out of range and uploading them when you return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoods inward and delivery verification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck cartons against the invoice at the loading bay, scanning e-way and delivery QR codes from a driver's phone as well as printed carton labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRestaurants, hotels and hospital stores\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable-side or ward-side scanning, kitchen and linen store issues, and asset checks in areas where running a cable is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pack: the unit plus its interface cable.
