Zebra LI3608-SR & LI3678-SR Ultra-Rugged 1D Linear Barcode Scanners (IP65/IP68, 140K Scans/Charge)

Engineered for extreme high-speed 1D linear barcode capture across punishing manufacturing plants, distribution warehouses, and industrial yards, the Zebra LI3608-SR (Corded) & LI3678-SR (Cordless) Ultra-Rugged 1D Handheld Barcode Scanners combine lightning-fast linear imaging performance with indestructible industrial durability.

Operating from near-contact out to over 4.5 ft / 1.4 m away, the LI3600-SR reads standard 1D printed barcodes up to 30% faster than competing scanners. Its advanced linear imaging engine captures 1D barcodes printed on paper shipping labels, packing slips, shelf tags, and illuminated mobile device screens—even if smudged, torn, wrinkled, or covered under heavy pallet stretch wrap. Built to withstand extreme industrial punishment, it features an industry-leading 10 ft / 3.0 m drop specification to concrete, survives 7,500 consecutive tumbles, and boasts dual IP65 and IP68 waterproof and dustproof sealing across temperatures from -30°C to 50°C. Cordless LI3678-SR models feature Class 1 Bluetooth 4.0 (up to 330 ft / 100 m range) with Wi-Fi Friendly frequency hopping and an industrial 3100 mAh battery delivering an astonishing 140,000+ scans per full charge, providing unstoppable linear scanning speed and multi-shift endurance.

Key Features & Commercial Advantages
