Introduction

The Symbol LS4208 scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. Before programming the scanner, scan the appropriate bar code(s), beginning on page 7, to communicate with the host.

Parts

Inserting and Removing the Interface Cable

To connect the interface cable, insert the interface cable’s modular connector into the cable interface port.

To remove the interface cable, unplug the installed cable’s modular connector by depressing the connector clip with the tip of a screwdriver.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions

Nothing happens when the trigger is pulled.

Laser comes on, but symbol does not decode.

Symbol is decoded but not transmitted to the host.

Scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host.

No power to the scanner.

Interface/power cables are loose.

Scanner is not programmed for the correct bar code type.

Bar code symbol is unreadable.

Distance between scanner and bar code is incorrect.

Scanner is not programmed for the correct host type.

Scanner is not programmed to work with the host.

Check the system power. Ensure the power supply is connected if the configuration requires a power supply.

Check for loose cable connections.

Ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code scanned. Refer to the Symbol LS4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for more information.

Check the symbol to ensure it is not defaced. Try scanning test symbols of the same bar code type.

Move the scanner closer to or further from the bar code.

Scan the appropriate host type bar code.

Ensure proper host is selected. Check the scanner’s host type parameters or editing options. For RS-232, ensure the scanner’s communication parameters match the host’s settings. For a keyboard wedge configuration, ensure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type, and the CAPS LOCK key is off. Ensure editing options (e.g., UPC-E to UPC-A conversion) are properly programmed. Refer to the Symbol LS4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for more information.

Set Defaults

Scan SET DEFAULTS to set all parameters to their default values.

SET DEFAULTS

Scanning Modes

Scan the appropriate bar code below to determine the scanning pattern.

• SINGLE LINE ONLY - No up and down scan line movement (no raster).

• MULTI-LINE SMART RASTER - The scan line begins as a single line and moves up

and down (rasters) when a partial scan of a bar code is detected, or no bar code is decoded 500 ms after the trigger is pulled.

• MULTI-LINE ALWAYS RASTER (default) - Rastering (up and down scan line

movement) begins immediately.

If a Synapse cable is used (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx), the scanner autodetects the Synapse cable and there is no need to scan bar codes to enable the Synapse host.

If a USB interface is used, the scanner autodetects the USB and defaults to the HID keyboard interface. See page 10 to select the IBM hand-held host type. Refer to the Symbol LS4208 Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-69413-xx, for additional USB host types.

If a Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, or IBM 46XX is used, the appropriate host type must be scanned. Select the appropriate host type from the bar codes that follow.
