Description
The New Benchmark in Hand-Held Laser Scanners: Nothing Else Measures Up to the LS 4000 Series
For superior bar code scanning performance and maximum user comfort at a highly attractive price, the LS 4000 Series from Symbol Technologies establishes a new standard of excellence.
LS 4000 Series scanners inherit the leadership legacy of Symbol's best-selling hand-held laser scanners. Symbol has leveraged its in-depth capabilities for innovation, design and advanced technology to set the LS 4000 apart from anything else on the market.
Feels Different, Looks Different - Is Different
The LS 4000 Series bring high performance and ergonomic design to scanning products. The handle is ergonomically contoured and shaped to fit hands of all sizes and the unit is light and easy to use. The patented two-finger trigger is extra long, so the user can activate the scanner with the index and middle fingers, reducing index finger fatigue, enhancing comfort, and providing superior sensory feedback.
The LS 4000 Series not only feels different, it looks different. You'll see at a glance that Symbol designed the LS 4000 to be more rugged while adding features to enhance operability:
For more external protection a rubber over molded canopy guards the top of the scanner while front bumpers provide added protection to the scan window.
A removable rubber cable boot guards the bottom of the scanner's handle provides superior cable strain relief for those times when the cable is stretched.
Sound vents in the side direct the scanner's audible signals in the direction of the user so they can be heard above background noise - even in loud environments.
More Innovation for More Performance
The LS 4000 Series bring high performance and ergonomic design to scanning products.
In addition, flash programming capability allows you to update or reconfigure the scanner system or applications in the field - no physical chip change is required. LS 4000 Series scanners also offer built-in Advanced Data Formatting (ADF), a Symbol innovation that gives you the capability to modify the bar code data string before sending it on to the host computer. This enhances compatibility between bar coded data and the applications software, letting you program the scanner rather than modifying the application.
The LS 4000 Series also offers Symbol's exclusive Synapse(tm) ""smart"" cable for connection to many different hosts without the need for a separate interface controller. You simply change the cable and your scanner is compatible with every major retail and industrial host computer.
Of course, the LS 4000 Series includes scan engines designed around Symbol's patented Mylar(r) scan element. This technological innovation represents a major improvement over conventional scanner motors. The frictionless Mylar scan element makes LS 4000 Series scanners remarkably long-lasting because it completely eliminates engine wear. It also provides another benefit - lower power usage, because no energy is expended overcoming friction. Symbol has so much confidence in LS 4000 Series scanners that we back them with a lifetime limited warranty on the scan element...another Symbol exclusive.
Versatility: The Mark of a Top Performer
Symbol's LS 4000 Series scanners move with equal ease from the sales floor to the factory floor. That's because they have the built-in flexibility to perform well in widely differing environments.
They're ideal for POS scanning, price markdowns and verification, and in-store inventory management in a wide variety of retail segments: mass merchandise, specialty retail, department stores, warehouse clubs and food and grocery stores.
LS 4000 Series scanners are also at home in commercial segments, such as light warehouse and manufacturing applications. In these environments, they perform a number of functions, including: backroom shipping and receiving, assembly line material tracking, process tracking, document tracking, and inventory management.
These scanners are also productive workers in office automation and healthcare applications. In the latter, they perform patient tracking and clinical control duties, among other functions.
Accessories for Enhanced Convenience
Symbol's IntelliStand gives LS 4000 Series scanners the flexibility of hands-free or hand-held scanning operation. The IntelliStand is ideal for food, drug and general merchandise point-of-purchase duty. Also available is the Multi-Mount Holder for safe and convenient placement of the LS 4000 on a counter or wall.
Cordless Model Gives You Room to Move
A cordless version, the LS 4071, gives workers the added mobility and flexibility of bar code scanning without cable restrictions. It's ideal for scanning items that are too heavy or bulky to place on the checkstand.
Using low-power radio frequency transmission, the LS 4071 operates up to 10 feet/3 meters from its recharging cradle/base station, which communicates with your host computer through Synapse cables or direct connection.
Class-Leading Performance
With the introduction of the LS 4004i/5i/6i scanner, Symbol Technologies continues to build on the legacy of the LS 4000 Scanner Series - bringing higher performance to an already superior ergonomic design. Not only is the LS 4004i/5i/6i an excellent 1-D scanner, it's also an entry-level PDF417 scanner as well! The scanner reads PDF417 symbols containing 300 or fewer data characters, 7.5 mil or larger, with a minimum 3:1 aspect ratio -- perfect for applications with relatively small amounts of data such as courtesy cards, coupons, and small-item markings. You get all the advantages of the LS 4000 plus:
- Excellent 1-D performance and ""entry level"" PDF417 capability
- Over twice the scan rate of the standard LS 4000 (nominal 100 scans/second)
- High-visibility 650 nm laser diode for better viewing in high ambient light situations
