SE4850 Extended Range Scan Engine
Extended range performance for industrial environments
Create mobile devices that can help your customers improve end-to-end efficiency and throughput. From barcodes and documents in hand to barcodes on the uppermost warehouse rack, the Zebra SE4850 Extended Range Scan Engine with IntelliFocus™ technology utilizes intelligent autofocus to quickly determine barcode distance and then capture it. Scan barcodes from near contact to over 70 ft./21.3 m away, providing the flexible range required to support virtually any industrial application. PRZM Intelligent Imaging Technology ensures first-time, every-time scanning. Rugged construction provides the durability required in warehouses, manufacturing plants and other industrial environments. Multiple decode options enable easy integration into any design, no matter how space constrained. Boost productivity for your customers with the SE4850, the imager built to meet the demands in today’s industrial environments.
Advanced Technologies for Superior Performance
IntelliFocus Technology Helps You Scan Near and Far
IntelliFocus™ technology easily captures 1D and 2D barcodes in a variety of conditions over a wide working range, in hand or across the room. With adjustable illumination and intelligent autofocus, users do not have to sacrifice scanning speed for working range.
The Ultimate Working Range
Two 1 MP imagers deliver an extraordinary working range — from 3 in./7.6 cm to over 70 ft/21.3 m. And since the fixed near imager and variable focus far imager eliminate the typical dead spots where dual imagers overlap, the result is flawless barcode capture over the entire scanning range.
High Quality Lens
The superior lens ensures the quality of the image from corner to corner for fast, dependable decoding.
Illumination System
The patented advanced optics technology eliminates the need for two illumination systems and minimizes the amount of required light. Illumination is automatically adjusted — the closer the scanner is to the barcode, the less illumination is generated. The result? Barcodes in any condition can be easily captured in any lighting condition — from the dimmest corners of the warehouse to bright sunlight — all with less power and longer battery cycle times on the host device.
Rugged Industrial Construction
You and your customers can count on durability and reliability in demanding conditions. With its rugged all-metal construction and an unprecedented 2500G shock rating, the SE4850 thrives in demanding industrial environments.

Ease of Use
Innovative Laser Aimer Pattern for easier Close-up and Extreme Range Scanning
Take the guesswork out of aiming at any range with the specially designed aimer pattern. Two dashes appear to the right and left of the standard aiming dot, making it easy to see at the maximum scanning distance of 70 ft/21.3 m. The pattern also makes it easy to scan large barcodes at close range — simply position the barcode within the outermost edges of the aiming pattern for first-time capture of every barcode. And the bright laser aimer is easy to see in any lighting condition.
PRZM Intelligent Imaging
Dramatically accelerate time to decode with Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging patented decode technology that offloads a portion of the decoding process to the ASIC, instead of the processor. The PL5000 or SDL decoder can then interpret and transmit the data at impressive speeds to keep workers moving.
Exceptional Motion Tolerance
Enables extraordinary scanning speed — no need for workers to pause between barcodes, increasing throughput and productivity in any application.
Omni-Directional Scanning
Give users true ‘point and shoot’ simplicity — no need to waste time aligning scanner and bar code.
Easy to Integrate
Choose Your Decode Option
Choose the decoder strategy that best fits your product designs — hardware or software. Two hardware options meet different needs: The PL5000A MIPI miniature decoder board fits in the smallest of products, while the PL5000C Ball Grid Array can be soldered onto your circuit board to more deeply embed Zebra scanning functionality into your products — and take less space. Zebra’s software-only decoding option doesn’t require any space, so it can fit into any design. There is no hardware to purchase and integrate, reducing cost and time to market — and no hardware to power, extending battery cycle times on the host device.
Enables a Multitude of Industrial Applications
Provides the flexibility to enable many industrial applications, from barcode capture on the production line to ensure the right part is utilized at the right time or in the warehouse to ensure the right items are picked for orders — or capturing a bill of lading at the receiving dock to streamline recordkeeping. Since you no longer need multiple engines to offer multiple types of data capture, you can standardize on a single engine, streamlining and reducing the cost of product development.
