DS55 Series for Labs Fixed Mount Scanner
Proven scanning performance in a compact, fits anywhere design built for the lab
Purpose built for medical labs, pharmacies and patient admissions, the DS55 Series for Labs Fixed Mount Scanner enhances clinical workflows, reduces errors and improves patient safety. With a tiny footprint, the DS55 Series fits into the smallest of spaces, while its modern and wipeable design is ideal for many medical settings. Flexible mounting options, including support for third-party accessories, enable the DS55 Series to meet a wide range of applications. Zebra’s proven scanning performance offers unparalleled productivity and ease of use, with flawless scanning of the many types of barcodes found in labs and pharmacies. Value-added tools seamlessly capture data from driver’s licenses, blood bags and medical equipment to streamline and error-proof more workflows. And Zebra DNA ensures maximum performance year after year and makes it easier than ever to integrate, deploy and manage your scanners.
Purpose Built for Labs and Pharmacies
Give Every User a Better Scanning Experience
Both seasoned lab employees and incoming patients can count on first-time, every-time scanning with Zebra’s Intelligent Imaging technology. A megapixel sensor delivers 184% higher resolution than the previous generation DS457 for superior performance on damaged and poorly printed barcodes. Fast swipe speeds ensure barcodes are captured as quickly as they’re presented. A large, omni-directional field of view makes scanning easier than ever, as there’s less need to carefully position barcodes for a successful scan.
Track Medications, Specimen Samples and More
The DS55 Series easily and accurately captures the many kinds of barcodes commonly used in pharmacies and labs — from smaller high density barcodes on microscope slides to curved barcodes on medicine vials and bags. White illumination LEDs make it easy to scan barcodes on color-coded specimen trays and biopsy cassettes.
Wipeable Housing is Easy to Clean
With IP54 sealing and a purpose-built design with no exposed openings, the DS55 Series allows for safe and frequent wipedowns — critical in lab and hospital settings.
Versatility Redefined — One Scanner Meets Multiple Needs
Fits in the Smallest of Spaces
The tiny DS55 Series is ideal wherever a zero or minimal footprint is required. At just 1.2 in H x 2.2 in W x 2.8 in D (3.0cm H x 5.6cm W x 7.2cm D), the scanner can be mounted just about anywhere — attached to a lab workstation or pharmacy register or under the admissions desk for a true zero footprint.
Easy Integration into Self-Service Solutions
The DS55 Series can be integrated into the most space-constrained solutions to bring world-class scanning performance to patient check-in kiosks, pharmacy workstations and more.
The DS55 Series for Labs — Bring proven scanning performance to labs, pharmacies and patient intake with a compact, fits anywhere design.

Integration into your product designs is easy. The scanner’s compact, low profile design combined with multiple mounting options allow for a sleek, clean look. If you have a Zebra DS457 deployed today, the DS55 Series offers similar dimensions and matching mounting hole locations for an easy replacement.
All the Cables You Need
Multiple cable options — including 2 ft and 7 ft, straight and right-angle connectors — provide just the right fit for your particular needs.
Healthcare-Friendly Illumination and Aimer
Soft white illumination is easy on the eyes and the green LED aimer is easy to see in a variety of lighting conditions, making the DS55 Series a great fit for healthcare applications, including ones sensitive to red light sources or safety issues with laser aimers.
Instantly Capture and Process Driver’s License Data
The DS55 Series can capture and parse data on driver’s licenses to automatically populate patient admission forms for faster intakes.
Easily Capture UDI Information and Blood Bag Data
With Blood Bag Parse+, a single scan captures all the data required on every blood bag — including blood type, date of donation, donation location and expiration date. UDI Scan+ automatically parses and formats Unique Device Identification (UDI) information on medical device packaging, sending the right data in the right fields to your application.
Capture OCR, Images and Documents
The DS55 Series makes it easy to take high quality images of prescriptions, ID cards and more. Support for multiple OCR fonts streamlines and error-proofs data collection.
Flexible Mounting Options
Standard Mount Opens Up Virtually Limitless Possibilities
The DS55 Series features a standard ¼ - 20 camera mount for quick and easy mounting to a wide range of third-party accessories — clamps, poles, swivels, wall mounts and more. You can always find the right accessory for your specific need.
Triple Your Mounting Options with an Innovative 3-in-1 Mount
Zebra’s new 3-in-1 mounting accessory is a computer display mount, wall mount and presentation stand all in one. The magnetic mounting face securely holds the DS55 Series in place, while letting the scanner swivel to either side as needed. It’s easy to lift the scanner off to scan an item in handheld mode, then pop it back on.
Low Cost of Ownership
Designed to Survive Spills and Drops
The DS55 Series offers the durability needed to handle all-day, everyday use in your lab or pharmacy. It’s built to withstand 5 ft (1.5m) drops to concrete and IP54 sealing protects against spills.
Superior Reliability
The DS55 Series is backed by a 3-year warranty. Since Zebra data capture products are proven to have less than 0.5% failure rates, you can be confident in the long-term reliability of your scanner.
Easy Application Development
Get everything you need to easily integrate scanning into your applications with our Scanner Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Windows, Android, iOS and Linux. These SDKs provide documentation, drivers, test utilities and sample source code.
Multi-Interface Flexibility
Every DS55 Series scanner supports both RS232 and USB to help future-proof your investment. If you migrate your host from RS232 to USB, you won’t need to purchase new scanners. And the DS55 Series is USB Certified for worry-free integration.
Make Data-Driven Decisions Informed by Your Scanners
Zebra’s IoT Connector is a fully automated real-time data collection tool that routes data from your scanners into your preferred IoT endpoint. The result? You can mine the data and get the insights needed to make decisions in real time.
Up-to-the-Minute Insight into Every Aspect of Your Scanners
Remote Diagnostics automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, parameter settings and barcode data — giving you the information needed for event verification, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and fleet-wide trend analysis.
