This model is a strong fit when your team scans product labels, carton labels, bin labels, shelf labels, inventory tags, shipping labels, receiving documents, and work-in-progress barcodes throughout the day.

Barcode and Software Compatibility

The DS3678-SR3U42A0SFW is a standard-range 1D/2D barcode scanner kit, but the right scanner setup depends on your software, connection method, cradle configuration, barcode types, operating system, and workflow. Confirm whether your application requires USB, HID keyboard mode, scanner-specific configuration, barcode symbology settings, or additional setup utilities.

Compatibility depends on your POS software, operating system, connection type, drivers, accessories, and configuration. Confirm compatibility before ordering.

If you are replacing an existing scanner, confirm the current scanner model, cradle type, cable, power supply, line cord, software profile, barcode settings, and workflow before switching to this model.
