Zebra DS55 Series / Fixed Mount Scanner
Zebra DS55 fixed mount barcode scanner
The Zebra DS55 is a compact fixed mount 1D / 2D scanner for retail counters, self-service kiosks, ticketing, pickup lockers, light manufacturing workstations and lab workflows that need reliable scanning in a very small footprint.
Product Overview
Compact fixed scanning for counters, kiosks and lab workstations
DS55 Series is designed for fixed or embedded scanning rather than roaming handheld use. The DS5502 is suited to retail POS, self-service, ticketing, BOPIS lockers, boarding gates and light manufacturing stations. The DS5502-LB for Labs is aimed at laboratories, pharmacies and patient admissions. The scanner supports 1D / 2D barcodes, mobile screen barcodes, OCR and image capture, with USB / RS232, IP54 sealing, 5 ft drop design and flexible mounting options. Before ordering, buyers should confirm scan distance, barcode size, mounting position, host interface, colour and whether the Labs version is required.
Quick Fit
Is DS55 right for your scanning position?
Good DS55 use cases
- Mounting a scanner at a retail counter, self-service kiosk, ticketing terminal or pickup locker.
- Reading 1D / 2D, phone-screen barcodes, tickets, membership QR codes or small high-density labels.
- Reducing desktop footprint or building scanning into a flush-mounted / low-profile device area.
Check before ordering
- General commercial model or Labs model; Midnight Black or Alpine White.
- Whether the scanner sits on a display, wall, counter, workstation, kiosk or under-counter area.
- Host interface, cable length, scan distance, barcode density, OCR / image capture and software setup needs.
Key Features
DS55 procurement points
Compact fixed body
At about 3.0 x 5.6 x 7.2 cm, DS55 can fit counters, workstations, kiosks and other space-limited positions.
1D / 2D scanning
Supports major 1D and 2D barcode families including PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code and Micro QR.
Mobile barcode workflows
The standard version is positioned for electronic tickets, boarding passes, loyalty cards and coupon barcodes on phones.
Labs version
The Labs direction supports laboratories, pharmacies and patient admissions, including specimen, medication and blood bag workflows.
USB / RS232
Every DS55 Series scanner supports USB and RS232 to help with existing host systems and future migration.
Flexible mounting
Supports a standard 1/4 in – 20 camera mount, gooseneck stand and 3-in-1 mounting accessory.
IP54 and drop design
Zebra specifications list IP54 sealing and multiple 5 ft / 1.5 m drops to concrete.
Zebra DNA
Planning can include 123Scan, Scanner SDK, Scanner Management Service and Zebra scanner management tools.
Applications
Common Hong Kong B2B workflows
Retail and hospitality
POS, self-checkout, BOPIS, price checks, mobile coupons and loyalty cards.
Ticketing and transport
Electronic tickets, boarding passes, identification checks and self-service kiosk scanning.
Light manufacturing
Work in progress, asset tracking, workstation scanning and embedded scanning inside equipment.
Labs and pharmacies
Specimen tracking, medication tracking, patient identification, blood bag and medical device data capture.
Accessories
Plan mounting, cable and software together
DS55 procurement is rarely only about the scanner body. Buyers should confirm 2 ft or 7 ft cable, straight or right-angle connector, gooseneck stand, 3-in-1 mount, third-party mounting accessories, USB / RS232 host input, OCR or image capture needs, and whether 123Scan, Scanner SDK or SMS will be needed for deployment.
Selection Guide
Four checks before choosing DS55
Confirm the version
Use DS5502 as the starting point for general commercial scanning, and DS5502-LB for Labs for lab, pharmacy or patient-admission workflows.
Confirm mounting
State whether the scanner sits on a counter, display, wall, kiosk, workstation or under-counter position.
Confirm barcode and range
Share the mix of 1D, 2D, QR, DataMatrix, phone-screen, small high-density barcode and OCR needs.
Confirm host setup
Check USB / RS232, cable angle, output format, software setup and whether SDK or remote management is required.
Comparison
DS55 Series directions
| Direction | DS5502 | DS5502-LB for Labs | When replacing DS457 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main use | Retail, kiosk, ticketing, pickup locker and light manufacturing | Laboratory, pharmacy and patient admissions | Check existing hole locations, mounting angle, cable and host input |
| Colour | Midnight Black | Alpine White | Depends on site design and cleaning requirements |
| Ordering focus | Fixed angle, mobile barcode and self-service integration | Wipeable housing, white illumination and healthcare workflow data capture | Zebra states similar dimensions and matching mounting hole locations, but site fit should still be checked |
Buying Pitfalls
Common fixed scanner ordering mistakes
Choosing the scanner before the mount
A fixed scanner depends on counter, display, kiosk or workstation angle. Mounting can be as important as scan performance.
Not testing barcode size
Small high-density labels, phone screens, tickets, specimen labels and OCR all need different review conditions.
Using the standard version for lab workflows
For labs, pharmacies, patient admissions or frequent wipedowns, check the Labs version first.
Leaving output formatting until installation
Enter, Tab, prefix, suffix, field format and SDK integration should be confirmed before deployment.
Why Buy from Easy Scan

FAQ
DS55 FAQ
How is DS55 different from a general handheld scanner?
DS55 is a fixed mount scanner for counters, kiosks, workstations and lab positions. If staff need to move around with the device, review handheld scanner or mobile computer options instead.
Can DS55 scan QR codes on phone screens?
Yes. Zebra DS55 Series materials refer to mobile barcodes, electronic tickets, boarding passes, loyalty cards and coupons on phone screens. Real barcode samples should still be tested before deployment.
When should I consider DS5502-LB for Labs?
Consider the Labs version when the workflow involves laboratories, pharmacies, patient admissions, specimen tracking, blood bags or medical device data capture.
Need to confirm whether DS55 fits your fixed scanning point?
