Introduction
The LS3008 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 8, 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.

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.

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 LS3008 Product Reference
Guide, p/n 72E-86092-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.

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

Host Type
If a Synapse cable is used (i.e., part number STIxx-xxxx), the scanner
auto detects 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 auto detects the USB and
defaults to the HID keyboard interface. See page 12 to select the IBM
hand-held host type. Refer to the LS3008 Product Reference Guide, p/n
72E-86092-xx, for additional USB host types.
If a Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, or
