Zebra MC3300

Zebra MC3300 Buying Guide

The Zebra MC3300 scanner is a popular choice for Inventory Pro customers who prefer a rugged scanner with a traditional form factor and capabilities for long range scanning. Barcode scanners with a physical keypad tend to be a preferred choice when the user is expected to do frequent typing as well as scanning.

With a physical keypad, the user can minimize the onscreen keyboard which may otherwise be hiding buttons and input screens. The gun style form factor is especially helpful when the user is doing a high volume of scanning. Full touch devices tend to be a better choice when the user is mainly reading information on the screen.

Why buy the MC3300 from Inventory Pro

The Zebra MC3300 is a great product because it offers many options so customers can get the perfect combination of features to fit the needs of the business. MSS Software will guide you through the product selection process, provide demo gear for testing, and provide demo software (if needed).

Product Selection

Several choices about the model’s configuration and accessories will need to be made before making a purchase. Inventory Pro will guide you through the configuration process to help you get the best version for your business. Demo units will be provided for validation of the configuration prior to purchase.

Scan Engine

There are two scan engine choices available:
Standard Range or Extended Range.

Scan Engine — Max range
Standard Range (SE4770) ~18 inches
Extended Range (SE4850) 70 feet

Form Factor

The form factor choices are “brick style” or “pistol grip”. Pistol grip is the preferred choice when you need to do high volume scanning. Brick is preferred when you want a more compact device to carry. A pistol grip cannot be added to the brick style post-sale.

Keypads

The reason you choose the MC3300 is to have a keypad to do typing on the device vs using the touchscreen. Choosing the right keypad depends on your business. Users who type words and numbers frequently will prefer the 47 key style. Users who wear gloves will prefer the Numeric style.

Device Management

Mobile device management (MDM) software tools allow the enterprise to maximize uptime with even a small staff. Contact MSS Software about selecting the best MDM for your business.

Warranty Information

The Zebra MC3300 comes standard with a one-year depot warranty.  The standard warranty covers just factory defects and the repair time at the depot is 10-15 business days.  Customers should consider an extended warranty which includes protection against accidental damage such as a broken screen resulting from a drop.  Coverage periods range from 3 to 5 years.

Leasing Information

Eligible Inventory Pro customers will be able to get the best leasing rates available in the barcode industry.  Terms can be for 12 months or greater. 

Buying Guide

There are many possible configurations of the MC3300 so it is imperative that you work with us to select the best combination of features then test a demo unit to validate your selection.  Demo units are available upon request so you can be confident in your selection as well as any accessories you are considering.  Call or email us directly to get the best price.
