ZEBRA LI4278

GENERAL PURPOSE CORDLESS LINEAR IMAGER

The LI4278 takes 1-D bar code scanning to the next level, allowing workers to scan faster and farther. Workers can capture virtually any
1-D bar code ‘ including the typical bar codes that are printed on paper labels; electronic bar codes displayed on the screen of a mobile
phone, tablet or computer that allows retailers to easily process loyalty cards, mobile coupons and more; and the high density (HD) bar
codes commonly used in electronic component manufacturing. 100 percent UPC bar codes can be captured from near contact to over
30 in./76.2 cm away, while 200% UPC codes can be scanned at 55 in./139.7 cm away. Since bar codes can be captured at extreme
angles, scanning is easier than ever, so workers spend less time maneuvering the scanner and more time on task. And an optional
cradle that enables presentation mode gives your workers the flexibililty to use the scanner in handheld and hands-free modes.

Cordless Freedom

Bluetooth frees workers from cords, allowing
cashiers to easily scan items inside and outside
of the cash wrap. In addition, Bluetooth v2.1 with
EDR provides better encryption for improved
security; better wireless performance; better
energy management to preserve power for a full
shift and easy pairing with the host device.

Built for All Day Everyday Use

A patent pending single circuit board improves
reliability by eliminating interconnections.
Superior battery power management delivers the
largest number of scans per battery charge to
support scan intensive applications. You can use
it in dusty and wet environments. The scan line
is easy to see outdoors in brightsunlight as well
as indoors in dim lighting. It can survive drops
to concrete. And both cradles can handle over a
quarter million insertions.

Cost Eective Upgrade Path

The LI4278 provides a positive return on
investment by utilizing the same existing cradles
and accessories as its cousins, the LS4278 and
DS6878. Current investments are preserved, yet
you can easily migrate to the latest in scanning
technology.

Maximum Uptime For A Low Tco

Remote management tools combine with
industry leading all-inclusive aordable service
plans to keep devices in the hands of your
workforce practically every minute of every
working day, Service from the Star t Advance
Exchange Support provides next-business-day
replacement of devices that require repair. Built-in
Comprehensive Coverage protects your scanners
from the unexpected, significantly reducing
unforeseen repair expenses and delivering
service peace of mind from the moment you
purchase the device.
