The Most Options in its Class
For scan-intensive 1D/2D applications, choose the SE4710 for faster-than-ever barcode capture. For light to moderate 1D/2D scanning requirements, choose the SE4100. And if you just need every-now-and-then barcode capture, the high resolution 13 MP camera in the base model can do the job.
The standard battery provides more than enough power to outlast a shift, or choose the extended battery that is ideal for long or double shifts.4 And since the battery is removable, you never need to take the device out of service for charging.
The optional wrist-mount accessory provides the comfort and productivity boost of hands-free operation. And your workers can just tap to pair with Zebra’s RS5100 Bluetooth ring scanner and Zebra mobile printers.
