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 Product Reference Guide .
Ifyou areusing a Synapse cable, selectthe host type byscanning
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.

Ready, Test, Scan
Ready
Make sure connections are secure, and the battery pack is
charged. The battery must be charged before the scanner’s
initial use, and after each day’s use. Placing the scanner in its
base station between uses will help maintain the battery’s
charge.
Be sure the scanner is “paired” to the base station by
scanning the Pairing bar code on the base.
Test
Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger.
When you press the trigger, the scanning beam is energized
for approximately 3.0 seconds (default).
Scan
Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the
scanning range. See the LS4071 ProductReferenceGuide .
Also, be certain the scanner is within range of the base
station: 10 feet (3 meters).
The scanner has read the symbol when:
• The yellow LED on the rear of the scanner turns green
for a short period of time after the scanning beam turns
off.
The data has been successfully sent to the base station when:
• You hear a short, high tone beep from the base (if
default beeper settings are selected).
• The yellow LED on the base blinks.

Aiming
Scan the Entire Symbol
• Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the
symbol.
• The larger the symbol, the farther away you should
hold the scanner.
• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are
close together.
• Ashort, high tone beep from the base indicates a good
decode.

Hold at an angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light
reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is
known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the
scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular
reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”.
You can tilt the scanner up to 65 ° forward or back and still
achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows
what tolerances to work within.

What Does The Beep Mean?
When you hear 1 beep (short high tone) it means data has been
decoded successfully. If any other beeps are heard, contact the
technical person in charge of scanning.
What If...
If the scanner is not operating according to your needs,
contact the technical person in charge of scanning. If there is
no one in charge of scanning, call the Symbol Support Center
at 1-800-653-5350.

Host Types
When using an RL475 system, select one of the bar codes below
to communicate with an IBM 468X/9X host.
Port 5B
Port 9B
Port 17
Note: To properly communicate with 468X/9X
terminals, the driver corresponding to the
port being used must be loaded and
enabled when you are configuring your
terminal system. See your terminal’s
operating manual for details.

Host Types
RS-232C Host Types
Three RS-232C hosts are set up with their own parameter
default settings. Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu or Nixdorf RS-232C
terminal sets the defaults listed on the following page. These
defaults take precedence over Standard RS-232 defaults. So,
if you’ve selected Fujitsu RS-232C, then select the Standard
RS-232 defaults, the Fujitsu defaults still take precedence. To
return to the factory set defaults, scan the SET ALL
DEFAULTS bar code below. See the table on the following
page for terminal specific defaults.
