Symbol LS4208
Increase performance with Motorola’s
next-generation scanner for customers
who value productivity
With the Symbol LS4208 handheld laser bar code
scanner, you’re able to effortlessly speed throughput,
even with bar codes in poor condition. Wherever
you need to quickly capture and process data —
such as at the retail checkout counter, in pharmacies
and hospitals, and in light warehouse environments
— this ergonomically designed scanner helps you
increase accuracy, improve productivity, cut maintenance
costs and reduce the risk of downtime.
Benefit from innovative features never before
delivered by a single scanner
The Symbol LS4208 delivers intuitive, productivity-
enhancing functionality that allows even your novice
users to quickly capture data. Its innovative multi-line
rastering scan pattern virtually eliminates the need
for end-user training, and lets you scan all types of
one-dimensional (1D) bar codes, including damaged
symbols or stacked reduced space symbology
(RSS) bar codes.The PDF configuration expands the
decoding capabilities to include PDF417, microPDF and
composite symbologies. In addition, the scanner’s
19-inch scanning range and superior motion
tolerance gives users greater flexibility to rapidly
and accurately capture data from a variety of items
without pausing between scans, while recently
added faster scanning and decoding capabilities
mean employees are able to process more items
more rapidly and spend less time keying in data.
Minimize your chances of downtime
Designed for constant, rigorous use in retail, office
and light industrial settings, the Symbol LS4208
provides you with reliability you’ll be able to depend
on. Along with a 6 ft. drop spec that allows the
scanner to keep on running even after dropped
repeatedly to concrete, the Symbol LS4208 also
offers single circuit-board construction. By eliminating
the failure points commonly found with interconnect
ribbon cables, this unique design feature helps to
lower your total cost of ownership.
Future-proof your investment
The Symbol LS4208 provides you with next-
generation technology today and the adaptability
to meet your needs in the future. The scanner’s
multi-interface and universal cables enable
connection to a variety of hosts, allowing you to
easily update your systems. In addition, since the
Symbol LS4208 is designed for the newest and
emerging 1D symbologies such as RSS bar codes,
as well as PDF and other variants (PR configuration),
you’ll be able to continue using the same device for
all your scanning requirements, even though your
requirements may change.
Protect your investment with comprehensive
services and support
Even the most durable scanners require a support
plan. That’s why Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility
Services cover every aspect of your Symbol LS4208 —
to ensure all of your support needs are met.
