Symbol LS4278 Scanners

    Home > Category > Barcode Scanners > Symbol > Symbol LS4278 Scanners

The Symbol LS4278 scanner is designed to deliver exceptional scanning performance. Users can scan objects at any angle because of the innovative multi-line rastering scan pattern, which eliminates the need for exact aim and positioning of the scanner. The laser line moves vertically during scanning, allowing accurate capture of all printed bar codes on the first scan, regardless of quality or size. The superior motion tolerance of the scanner assures that users no longer need pause between scans, allowing for more efficient transactions.

The Symbol LS4278’s multiple on-board interfaces and universal cables guarantee you’ll be able to use your scanner with different hosts, while its support for RSS bar codes provides compatibility with emerging symbologies. And, since it is Remote Scanner Management (RSM) equipped, the scanner discovers and upgrades devices from a central remote location, which allows you to efficiently upgrade devices from that same location.

The Symbol LS4278 handheld scanner and cradle are designed to withstand constant use. The scanner’s patented single board construction eliminates common problems associated with the interconnection between multiple boards. Able to sustain a five-foot (1.5m) drop, this scanner has a high level of durability. Also included in the design are drain points, which protect sensitive internal electronics from accidental liquid spills. A tempered glass exit window protecting the laser is scratchproof, and frequent charging causes no harm to the body of the scanner.
