The New Benchmark in Hand-Held Laser
Scanners: Nothing Else Measures Up to the LS 4000 Series
For superior bar code scanning performance and maximum user comfort at a highly attractive price, the LS 4000 Series from Symbol Technologies establishes a new standard of excellence.
LS 4000 Series scanners inherit the leadership legacy of Symbols LS 2000 Series, the worlds best-selling hand-held laser scanners. Symbol has leveraged its in-depth capabilities for innovation, design and advanced technology to set the LS 4000 apart from anything else on the market
Feels Different, Looks Different - Is Different
The LS 4000 Series introduces an all-new ergonomic design to scanning products. The handle is ergonomically contoured and shaped to fit hands of all sizes and the unit is light and easy to use. The patented two-finger trigger is extra long, so the user can activate the scanner with the index and middle fingers, reducing index finger fatigue, enhancing comfort, and providing superior sensory feedback.
The LS 4000 Series not only feels different, it looks different. Youll see at a glance that Symbol designed the LS 4000 to be more rugged while adding features to enhance operability:
More Innovation for More Performance
With the LS 4000 Series, Symbol introduces Adaptive Logic technology. This enables the LS 4000 to read damaged or poorly printed bar codes - saving time, increasing accuracy and speeding throughput.
In addition, flash programming capability allows you to update or reconfigure the scanner system or applications in the field - no physical chip change is required. LS 4000 Series scanners also offer built-in Advanced Data Formatting (ADF), a Symbol innovation that gives you the capability to modify the bar code data string before sending it on to the host computer. This enhances compatibility between bar coded data and the applications software, letting you program the scanner rather than modifying the application.
The LS 4000 Series also offers Symbols exclusive Synapse smart cable for connection to many different hosts without the need for a separate interface controller. You simply change the cable and your scanner is compatible with every major retail and industrial host computer.
Of course, the LS 4000 Series includes scan engines designed around Symbols patented Mylar scan element. This technological innovation represents a major improvement over conventional scanner motors. The frictionless Mylar scan element makes LS 4000 Series scanners remarkably long-lasting because it completely eliminates engine wear. It also provides another benefit - lower power usage, because no energy is expended overcoming friction. Symbol has so much confidence in LS 4000 Series scanners that we back them with a lifetime limited warranty on the scan element...another Symbol exclusive.
Versatility: The Mark of a Top Performer
Symbols LS 4000 Series scanners move with equal ease from the sales floor to the factory floor. Thats because they have the built-in flexibility to perform well in widely differing environments.
Theyre ideal for POS scanning, price markdowns and verification, and in-store inventory management in a wide variety of retail segments: mass merchandise, specialty retail, department stores, warehouse clubs and food and grocery stores.
LS 4000 Series scanners are also at home in commercial segments, such as light warehouse and manufacturing applications. In these environments, they perform a number of functions, including: backroom shipping and receiving, assembly line material tracking, process tracking, document tracking, and inventory management.
These scanners are also productive workers in office automation and healthcare applications. In the latter, they perform patient tracking and clinical control duties, among other functions.
