Introduction
The LS4278 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.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions
LED indicates a battery temperature fault.
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.
Battery is above or below normal operating temperature.
No power to the scanner.
Scanner is disabled. Some host interfaces (e.g., Synapse, IBM-468x)
Scanner is not programmed for the correct bar code type.
Bar code symbol is unreadable.
Distance between scanner and bar code is incorrect.
Cradle is not programmed for the correct host interface.
Scanner not paired to host-connected interface.
Interface cable is loose.
Cradle has lost connection to host.
Scanner is not programmed to work with the host.
Do not use the scanner. Move the scanner to a location within normal operating temperature. The scanner can remain in the cradle while the battery warms or cools to normal operating temperature. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for more information.
Battery may be discharged; charge scanner in cradle. Check that battery door is closed Ensure that end cap to battery chamber is secured.
can disable the scanner. If this applies, enable the scanner via the host interface.
Ensure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code scanned. Refer to the Product Reference Guide 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.
Check scanner host parameters or edit options.
Pair the scanner to the cradle (using PAIR bar code on the cradle).
Ensure all cable connections are secure.
In this exact order: disconnect power supply; disconnect host cable; wait three seconds; reconnect host cable; reconnect power supply; reestablish pairing.
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 Product Reference Guide for more information.

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.

Host Types

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 12 to select the IBM hand-held host type.
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.

Radio Communications Host Types

Scan a bar code below to choose how the scanner connects to a remote device. Scan Cradle Host if connecting to the STB4278 cradle.

Pairing

When the scanner is configured as an SPP or HID Master, a 'pairing bar code' must be created for the remote Bluetooth device to which the scanner can connect. The Bluetooth address of the remote device must be known. Pairing bar codes are Code 128 bar codes. The format is: <Fnc 3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address).
Pairing Modes
When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner,
Unlocked Pairing Mode - A new scanner can be paired (connected) to a
any attempt to connect to a different scanner, by scanning the pairing bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with Pairing on Contacts enabled, is rejected. The currently connected scanner maintains its connection.

NOTE If three scanners are actively connected to the cradle
(Multipoint-to-Point mode), a fourth scanner cannot connect regardless of the pairing mode.
Pairing Methods
There are two pairing methods. The default method pairs (connects) the scanner and cradle when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the scanner and cradle when the scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. If the pairing is successful, a low/high connection beep sequence sounds a few seconds after the scanner is placed in the cradle.

Carriage Return/Line Feed

To append a carriage return/line feed to all transmitted data, scan the following bar codes in the order shown. To cancel this operation, the SET DEFAULTS bar code on page 8, or refer to the Product Reference Guide.
