Symbol's LS4278 Bluetooth™- enabled cordless laser
handheld scanner delivers superior scanning anywhere in
the workplace, helping boost productivity and
profitability. The LS4278 is an outstanding choice for
retail, healthcare or light industrial environments.
Additional benefits:
- Enables users to hold at any angle and scan even
the smallest, stacked or poorly one dimensional (1D)
printed bar codes
- Single board construction eliminates common
inter-connection failures
- Scratchproof tempered glass exit window
- Industrial long-life charging contacts that can
withstand 250,000+ insertions into cradle
- Frees cashier to move from behind cash wrap to
scan items out of reach, large heavy items, as well
as check for missed items
- Minimizes need for rescans and manual data entry
- Multiple on-board interfaces and universal
cables allow use with different host systems
- To ensure compatibility with emerging standards,
the LS4278 cordless scanner supports reduced space
symbology (RSS), and is
Remote Scanner Management (RSM)-ready so it can
be efficiently upgraded from a central location
Cordless freedom improves productivity and protects
profitability
Symbol’s cordless LS4278 provides superior bar code
scanning in a durable future-proof device that delivers
an outstanding total cost of ownership. Workers can move
within a 50 ft./15 m radius to scan items — and the
elimination of hazardous cables creates a safer work
environment. From cashiers moving around the register to
scan large, heavy items and check for missed items to
healthcare workers double checking that the right
patient is receiving the right medication, integrated
Bluetooth wireless personal area networking (WPAN)
provides reliable and secure wireless transmission of
data between the scanner and your host. Productivity is
improved, revenues are protected and potential liability
due to injury from lifting heavy objects is reduced.
Outstanding scanning performance
The LS4278 is designed to deliver exceptional
scanning performance. Users can scan objects at any
angle — the innovative multi-line rastering scan pattern
eliminates the need for exact aim and positioning of the
scanner. The laser line moves vertically during
scanning, allowing accurate capture of even the
smallest, stacked and poorly printed bar codes on the
first scan. And with superior motion tolerance, users no
longer need pause between scans, further increasing
productivity.
A new level of durability — and a lower TCO
The LS4278 scanner and cradle are designed to
withstand all day every day use, from drops to spills,
with features that deliver maximum uptime and investment
protection. The scanner’s patented single board
construction eliminates the most common point of failure
— the interconnection between multiple boards. Even if
the scanner is accidentally dropped, a five-foot (1.5m)
drop specification ensures continuous reliable
operation. The scanner and cradle offer industrial
charging contacts that eliminate wear when cradling the
device, providing a reliable charging connection through
hundreds of thousands of insertions — other common
charging techniques show wear between 5,000 to 10,000
insertions. Drain points are designed into the cradle to
protect sensitive internal electronics from accidental
liquid spills. Built-in enterprise durability combines
with Symbol’s services to deliver a low total cost of
ownership. Symbol’s comprehensive services are available
to assist in rapid deployment as well as provide the
ongoing support you need to maintain peak performance —
and achieve maximum uptime and value.
