Symbol LS4208-SR20007ZCR Product Data Sheet

SPECIFICATION SHEET

Symbol LS4208

Handheld scanner

FEATURES

1D, PDF and composite
code scanning

Available in both 1D only
(SR) and PDF/Composite
(PR) configurations to
support a wide range of
productivity-enhancing
applications

Multi-line rastering
scan pattern

Improves productivity by
reducing the need to rescan
bar codes or key in data,
resulting in shorter lines at
the retail point of sale

Superior motion tolerance

Enables end users to quickly
move from one bar code to
the next without hesitation

Wide working range

Reads good quality as well
as poor quality codes at
similar ranges, reducing the
need for the user to move
the scanner back and forth

Increase performance with Motorola’s
next-generation scanner for customers
who value productivity

With the Symbol LS4208 handheld laser bar code
scanner, you’re able to effortlessly speed throughput,
even with bar codes in poor condition. Wherever
you need to quickly capture and process data —
such as at the retail checkout counter, in pharmacies
and hospitals, and in light warehouse environments
— this ergonomically designed scanner helps you
increase accuracy, improve productivity, cut maintenance
costs and reduce the risk of downtime.

Benefit from innovative features never before
delivered by a single scanner

The Symbol LS4208 delivers intuitive, productivity
enhancing functionality that allows even your novice
users to quickly capture data. Its innovative multi-line
rastering scan pattern virtually eliminates the need
for end-user training, and lets you scan all types of
one-dimensional (1D) bar codes, including damaged
symbols or stacked GS1 DataBar (formerly RSS) bar
codes. The PDF configuration expands the decoding
capabilities to include PDF417, microPDF and
composite symbologies. In addition, the scanner’s
19-inch scanning range and superior motion tolerance
gives users greater flexibility to rapidly and accurately
capture data from a variety of items without pausing
between scans, while recently added faster scanning
and decoding capabilities mean employees are able
to process more items more rapidly and spend less
time keying in data.

Minimize your chances of downtime

Designed for constant, rigorous use in retail, office
and light industrial settings, the Symbol LS4208
provides you with reliability you’ll be able to depend
on. Along with a 6 ft. drop spec that allows the
scanner to keep on running even after dropped
repeatedly to concrete, the Symbol LS4208 also
offers single circuit-board construction. By eliminating
the failure points commonly found with interconnect
ribbon cables, this unique design feature helps to
lower your total cost of ownership.

Future-proof your investment

The Symbol LS4208 provides you with next
generation technology today and the adaptability to
meet your needs in the future. The scanner’s multi­interface and universal cables enable connection
to a variety of hosts, allowing you to easily update
your systems. In addition, since the Symbol LS4208
is designed for the newest and emerging 1D
symbologies such as GS1 DataBar (formerly RSS)
bar codes, as well as PDF and other variants (PR
configuration), you’ll be able to continue using the
same device for all your scanning requirements,
even though your requirements may change.

Protect your investment with comprehensive
services and support

Even the most durable scanners require a support
plan. That’s why Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility
Services cover every aspect of your Symbol LS4208 —
to ensure all of your support needs are met.
