Quick Reference

Introduction

The LS 4071 is a high performance scanner that lets you scan a
bar code and transmit it to a base station up to 10 feet (3 meters)
away , without a physical cable to limit your movement. Instead,
the scanner communicates with the base station through a low
power radio transmission.

Scanning Made Easy

To install the scanner or change the different programmable
parameters of the LS 4071, see the

If you are using a Synapse cable, select the host type by scanning
the appropriate bar code packed with the cable. If you are not
using a Synapse cable, scan one of the bar codes beginning on
page 6.

If you need assistance, contact the technical person in charge of
scanning at your site, or Symbol Technologies.
