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
Product Selection
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.
