Barcode Scanner Symbol LS4278
Great combination of productivity enhancing features, including wireless Bluetooth!
The cordless Symbol LS 4278 leverages the innovative design of the corded LS4208. The Symbol LS4200 Series is the best handheld scanner series designed specifically for those customers who understand that keeping the line moving or the application running has a direct effect on their bottom line. The LS 4278 is the next generation of the very popular LS407x series - Symbol's best selling laser scanner ever. Designed to increase efficiencies in scan-intensive operations, the Symbol LS 4278 accelerates throughput with productivity-enhancing features. With an innovative multi-line rastering scan pattern, the LS 4278 enables the quick and accurate scanning of all types of one-dimensional (1D) symbologies, including damaged symbols and stacked reduced space symbology (RSS) barcodes. It also provides a wide working range and superior motion tolerance to increase scanning flexibility and performance. The LS 4278 offers continuous, one-pass scanning, allowing novice and advanced users alike to process more items more rapidly and spend less time keying in data.
Outstanding scanning performance.
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. 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.

Productivity is improved, revenues are protected and potential liability due to injury from lifting heavy objects is reduced.
Outstanding scanning performance
The Symbol 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 Symbol 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 Motorola's Enterprise Mobility Services to deliver a low total cost of ownership. These 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.
